A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I enjoy it all! For Shaun and the WIG folks, you guys are fantastic. But PLEASE- ditch the absurdly loud intro music that goes on for 3mins. It makes the pod unlistenable and I don’t want to skip that material.

Honestly meant for constructive criticism but your podcasts are so long winded and waaaay too much detailed talk about your personal life/golf journey. For example I clicked on the clarity episode because it seemed interesting and here I go having to power thru 30 minutes of the hosts personal and family golf journey and I’m so frustrated by it that I’m not sure I would want to try again for a while.

Part-time golf · Jul 2023

Very disappointing. To do a whole episode glorifying the Saudi tournament, discuss legacies of pros and giving back to the community, while not even mentioning the obvious conflict around Saudi human rights abuses. No longer want to hear advice from a group with that kind of character.
