A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
These guys have really good info for non-profit fundraisers and it’s clear they know their business. If I could rate the podcast on their knowledge, it would get 5 stars easy.
But one host HAS to stop jumping in with “yeah”, “sure”, or “uh uh” every five seconds. It’s incredibly distracting. If I were rating the podcast on this part, it would get 1 star. It’s such an easy fix so I hope they see this (and other reviews that mention it as well) and make that change.

In love with this show and the forward thinking surrounding fundraising.
It is VERY distracting to hear one of the hosts say “yeah” “yep” “yes” MULTIPLE times throughout the episode. So so distracting, and kind of annoying honestly.
That aside, the content is awesome and these guys definitely know what they’re talking about.
