Coffee and a Mike - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Mike has had some high quality guests with very diverse backgrounds. The common denominator between all of his guests is that they all represent excellence in their respective field. Mike has a real knack for guiding the conversations and really diving below the surface level to get to know what makes each guest tick and he helps to tell the story of what got them to where they are today. I listen to a lot of different podcasts and this one has definitely made it into my regular rotation. Very entertaining!

Mike brings in excellent guests and lets them talk. He doesn’t cut them off all the time or make the podcast all about himself, which is refreshing. This is one of the main podcasts I listen to in order to keep up with what is really happening in the world.

A great podcast except when he ventures into the area of nutrition. I have no problem with his advocacy for eating meat but he totally misrepresents the vegan diet by making the misguided assumption that vegans are all eating fake meat. All of the problems he associates with a plant based diet can be completely avoided for most people by eating real food - fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, legumes, nuts and seeds and whole grains. When he sticks to politics, culture, social issues, etc. this is a very entertaining podcast.

If your an Ohio wrestling fan, or even a sports fan, the Adam Plouse episode is a must listen. The folklore behind this intimidating athlete is finally revealed first hand.

The show used to be good, now it’s full of name dropping and remarks of life in Phoenix. The host lost his way in reporting, now it seems like he is trying to catch interest in the work. Show is on its death spiral, host constantly interrupts the guests. The host talks like an authority, he is only armchair knowledge.
