Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve listened to every episode for the past 6 years, and subscribe to Locals just to support Scott, even though I don’t listen to it on there. The audio on the podcast is too low. This causes the ad breaks in the iTunes/spotify versions to BLAST the listener. You always have to turn THIS podcast up, then get BLASTED when you finish and move onto another podcast. It’s not an issue with the ads; the audio output on this particular podcast is lower than standard. So you turn the volume up to hear Scott, then when the ads come on or another podcast starts playing, you get your ears blown out. This is literally the only thing I don’t like about this podcast, but it’s good enough I’ll keep listening and you should too because you like to see things differently smartly.

Scott’s show is always thoughtful and well informed. He pours over Twitter so the rest of us don’t have to. My only quibble is when he feels compelled to remind his audience “wasn’t I the first one…?” or “wasn’t I the only one to say…?”

The homecoming queen doesn’t have to remind everyone she’s beautiful. It comes off as needy and insecure. It doesn’t take away from the stellar content but it is a distraction.

It’s fun to listen to Scott to see how he’s persuading you. Also, good tips on finding manipulation from politicians and the media (redundant, I know). Scott is definitely funny, even when his jokes bomb.

One complaint is the podcast volume. You listen at full volume in the car and then a commercial blasts your eardrums. Scott gets upset when people complain about this in the live stream so I’m 75% sure he’s purposely not fixing it, but I can’t read his mind.

Scott is the most consistent podcaster ever. I don’t think he’s missed a day and certainly not two days in a row, even records on holidays. If you need a consistent podcast covering news and politics in the style of a snarky, funny, friend, this is it.

Another way to look at the days’ news with logic and concise explanation. Whether you agree or not, Mr. Adams has persuasive reviews which will make you rethink your opinions and prejudices.

I have long enjoyed Scott’s podcast immensely. However, with the insertion of now four randomly placed commercials of the most annoying volume and tone with no obvious transition I can no longer enjoy the show that I value so much. I understand you cannot work for free Scott and I accept that you can and should monetize the show, but come on.
