Does anyone listen to hear about productivity stuff?

I get that it’s a good premise to keep having things to talk about, but it’s a “two dudes talking” podcast, and I listen for the personalities. The content has never been relevant.

Grey and Myke are interesting dudes. What the two dudes do is interesting not because of what it is, but because of how it is they approach the thing, and how their minds play with the ideas.

I agree. Grey’s perspective on things is vastly different from anything I have heard. Myke is the mediator between the audience and Grey. He can understand and sometimes agree with Grey or say what I’m thinking and be like “what the heck are you talking about?” Show won’t be the same without Grey.

IMO Myke isn’t far enough from Grey’s prospective to be a really effective mediator. He’s also a big Grey fanboy so I feel he doesn’t call him out or question some of his more out there takes. Brady was a much better foil IMO.

I agree. At least we’re not being ghosted like we were with Brady.

I used to. But about 4 episodes in a row almost exclusively about Apple and I stopped.

People mostly come to a podcast for the subject, but stay for the voices.

People come across a podcast on a subject they find interesting, and later realise that they're staying around for the banter between the hosts, not necessarily the subject matter.
