A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Dusty and his guests are very relatable. I love that the creators represent many different levels and niches. I find inspiration every week!

ManorChick · Mar 2026

This is my favorite creator podcast!! Dusty does a wonderful job & I love the dialogue between him & the guests. I’ve been able to grow on YouTube & TikTok from tuning in each week!

GodizGracious · Sep 2025

I’ve listened to tons of Dusty’s episodes. He has a wide variety of guests and the discussions are always informative. I find I learn new things I can apply to my own YouTube journey in every episode. Keep up the great work!

Carrera84 · Mar 2025

I think Dusty just must be my type of guy, not overly complicated, and not greedy. I see that with so many of the other podcasts. Dusty understands that if your work hard and follow the basic concepts he and his guests lay out your will succeed. No need for all that hubbub. I also like that he brings people on the show that are not necessarily giants in the YouTube community. It helps new creators to learn and grow- and set realistic expectations.

MSG A · Aug 2024

Agree with previous review about questionable guests. Went to dark mode dad’s channel and it’s not about anything he described. It’s about hating women. And the title and thumbnails show that his growth strategy is just rage bait. You can get a lot of engagement and subscribers when you simply dunk on other groups. This podcast has lost a subscriber.

blynks99 · Mar 2026

I have listened and followed this show for years. I have always found the interviews interesting and enjoyed the show. However, recently, there have been creators of divisive content. They claim to be misunderstood or “unbiased” but a visit to each channel finds they are indeed questionable at minimum and divisive at the worst. Bringing on a Fox News former employee and saying he is middle ground/unbiased and visit the channel and see only one-sided viewpoints. Bringing on a single dad who makes black pill/red pill content and advertise that to your audience. Why? Millions of creators on YouTube and we need to hear from people who make content to divide? But then also comment how sad it is that we are in a time of such division in passing in multiple episodes? It doesn’t make sense. It is Dusty’s show and he has the right to pick his interviewees but be clear what your true motivations/intentions are. We can learn to be better YouTubers from travel channels, art channels, review channels, etc. Why choose these questionable topics/creators? Why not channels where the content is meant to bring people together? It’s a change that I am sad to see, but I guess this is meant to tell your audience what you personally support. I have unfollowed after today’s episode. It’s too bad because there is some useful info here but hate is not condoned by my support.
