What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

It’s definitely a really specific podcast, but if you’re an artist, creator, podcaster, or business owner, I definitely recommend keeping up with show since the resources and information can be vital to your growth. Especially since AI is here and is happening. Be sure to check out the Youtube, though, if you can. It will make the experience much better.

Ok at first, I had absolutely no idea what these guys were talking about because I have never heard of midjourney. This is apparently a new AI tool to generate images. After listening to the first episode and most recent episode, I agree with the host that nobody is doing a podcast about this software. So if you are a mid journey user or into AI and want to learn more, this podcast is definitely for you. My only suggestion to the hosts would be to have put in the trailer actual description of what Midjourney is but then again, I’m guessing if somebody searched for mid journey in podcasts they know what they’re looking for and understand what these host are talking about. That said these guys do a great job once you understand what the heck they’re talking about. I am a fellow podcaster and do use imagery for my cover art and social media content I would have loved to use midJourney as it sounds very cool. I’ve checked out their website but unlike some of the other AI they do not have a free version. I would’ve loved to try it and then listen to this podcast would make sense. Mid journey should actually pay these guys for the promotion of their new AI platform.

Every time a new update is announced by Midjourney, my first thought is to see what Rory has posted about it because I’m always sure he’s probably been up all night testing it out. You gents have been insanely helpful in breaking it down for creatives wanting to adopt AI in their workflows. This podcast and what you guys post on LinkedIn is my go-to and will continue to be!

I learned everything I know about text to image design by taking Drew’s classes and following him on LinkedIn. As a marketing agency owner, I knew that being able to create my own photo stories without the need for a photoshoot would be a massive game changer in my industry. Then one day I stumbled onto Drew’s digital course and boom, instant confirmation that I was on the right track. I’m really stoked for this podcast. It will be a game changer. Congratulations Drew and Rory!
