I have enjoyed this podcast for a while now and finally decided to submit my own for a review. Thank you Dave, I knew you’d confirm what I was already thinking. I appreciate feedback, good and bad. I believe some coaching may be in order for this podcast host. Although, I now have a nagging desire to edit all of my last episodes. Lol Addendum: I just listened to your review, Episide 427, of the Purple Pants Podcast. I laughed and your commentary,the whole way thru. You said, “The whole third person thing. I haven’t heard someone talking about themselves in a long time. And Dave Jackson thinks that’s weird!” Bahahahahahaha. It’s been 30 minutes and I’m still laughing. Thanks.

I have been listening to this show for 2years now and I have learned so much from them.

Dave reviewed my podcast and I appreciated his specific and actionable suggestions for improvement. Then I listened to reviews of other shows and learned even more. This show shows instead of just tells and that makes it very useful. Couldn’t hit subscribe fast enough after finding it.

Amazing show! Full of valuable information served with humor. Dave Jackson delivers valuable insight based on his personal experience.

I’ve learned so much from Dave by listening to this! He’s got great advice from the perspective of the listener, and even though my show hasn’t been reviewed here, I use his critiques of others to become a better podcaster. This is good stuff!

If you go to his website he charges $499 for a yearly subscription to “get better at podcasting” so you already know this guy is a scam artist. And the show is exactly what you’d expect: a no-talent hack giving his necessities (very debatable) for a good podcast. I’ll save you the time, he only cares about audio quality. The guy reviews podcasts that have both acclaim and massive followings as well as lesser known ones. This guy has the most arbitrary criteria for these shows and the patience of a four year old that freebases cocaine. Usually starts freaking out over the lack of a “voiceover” after a mere three seconds of an intro tune or theme song that usually runs from 5-15 seconds. It’s really something to behold and makes me curious as to whether this man is even employable. He makes surface-level, stream-of-consciousness critiques that are considerably less effort and hold much less entertainment value then even the mediocrity of something like CinemaSins on YouTube. And why does he care so much about perfect audio quality when his own podcast is incredibly unremarkable even in that category. He must not know that podcasts earning tens of thousands of dollars on patreon or from ad revenue have a fraction of a concern for their audio quality as much as this guy. If the host put as much effort into formulating an opinion that someone might care about as his thoughts on audio quality, he might have a podcast that gets better than a three star rating. Also, for being so singularly focused on his own arbitrary conventions, he actually misses one that I think actually might matter to literally everyone else but him. All of his episodes are between 9-12 minutes. Why so short? Maybe he realizes that very few people will actually give him the time of day for such lazy and frankly boring content that he makes sure to keep it short. Most podcasts are at least 30 minutes and this guy barely ekes a quarter of that each episode if you factor in that HE ACTUALLY PLAYS OTHER PEOPLE’S CONTENT WITH LITTLE OR NO SUBSTANCE TO ADD. This takes up at least two minutes per episode with the only commentary being the occasional flippant question that immediately gets answered in the ensuing few seconds of the podcast he’s listening to. This is worse than YouTube reaction videos. At least they put a little bombast in them. This guy really thought that what the world needed was another middle aged white guy giving his opinion on the form of media most likely to be used as white noise to go to sleep. No attempt to get background on a single one of these shows that might factor into the enjoyment of the seemingly random episode. No attempt to understand anything. Just a shot in the dark aiming at mediocrity, and guess what... you even fell short of that mark. Stop piggybacking off of other people’s hard work without adding anything aside from ineffectual nitpicks. Content freeloader. I guess this begs the question who actually listens to this drivel? No observation is insightful, helpful, thoughtful, or entertaining. No criticism is brought up that couldn’t be thought of on the spot without even listening to the rest of the sentence being spoken in the podcast in question. A 10 minute listening experience with nothing new to add, nothing informative, and no entertainment value. Why does this exist and why has it been going since 2017? Yet another case of someone of zero consequence upwardly failing. At least some of the shows he “reviews” do it in style.

This guy cares about pointless stuff like “audio quality” and “structure” and other check-the-box podcast “necessities.” There are barely any unique insights about the podcasts being reviewed that help listeners decide whether or not to listen to a full 1 hour+ episode (i.e. detailed background on the hosts, analysis of what the hosts actually discuss during the sampled episode, comparison to similar podcasts/blogs/YouTube channels etc.), and the use of tacky talk-radio effects are distracting and cringey. In short, this show is not good. The host provides no valuable information to listeners, and it is not funny, interesting, helpful, or entertaining. I question why it exists and if it has even one recurring listener.

How are you going to review the #1 sports show and not even make it past the theme? Do you know that there is a 15 sec skip ahead button? P.S. The Scary Movie franchise is funny

You should listen to my podcast What’s That

As a trainer transitioning from working under the supervision of a gym to doing my own business I’ve found a lot of the information on the podcast helpful. I usually learn something new relevant to programming for myself and/or my clients. Good humor matched with good knowledge to share.

Talks about how Logan Paul’s fans of his podcast are engaged and know who he is as a downside. People like the casual style because it feels authentic

These reviews are all three. Dave knows whereof he speaks, and rather than whine about the reviews, podcasters who produce shows that get the buzzer or "meh" would be better off making the changes he suggests. That is, if they care about doing a better-quality show. If not, then they can feel free to never listen again.

Thank you so much for reviewing our podcast ! I really like yours it’s me Joshua from geekology 101 goodbye also we just got two microphones

Being a drag queen, I have a thicker skin than most, so I really appreciate the honestly in Dave’s feedback. I also enjoy hearing little samples of podcasts and have found some I want to listen to! This is a 5-star show

Dave deserves to be stuffed in a locker. Punk.

F this guy Bigcat has a juicy taint and pft is a legend balls up boys F off mr irrelevant

I like the short format, this is a fun show to binge.

I like Dave’s show because he’s knowledgeable about the podcasting space. He gives constructive criticism when it needs to be given...and has fun doing so.

Audio quality is not very good. Sounds like FM raidio.

Why does this exist

My podcast got the “meh” and you know what? Dave was right. Whether you like his opinions or not, Dave knows what he’s talking about and his critique helped me to make my podcast better. I don’t always agree with him, but he clearly states it’s only his opinion. Keep up the great work.

Waste of time reviewing other podcasts

I find myself laughing at Dave’s comments, and yet will learn and note the opportunities that present themself from other podcasters.

We enjoyed your thoughts. We enjoy thoughts. Thank you for noting that you may not be the audience for our type of programming. We liked the parts you liked and the parts you did not like. We are sorry for your frustration. We might not take the short and to the point road, but we will always take the weird, gross, abstract and silly one. You have a very nice show. Thank you....and Please Keep Broadcasting.

If you listen to this podcast enough you will notice a common theme. "Deliver quality content a timely manner." This podcast has been a top two or three influence on my podcast. Thanks for the challenge to get to the point and deal with secondary issues later when the superfans are still hanging around. Clay Working Cows Podcast

We checked out your podcast, it was something. It could be better, and we know how. Find out on “Episode 6 - Share a Slice with Sean vs Podcast Rodeo” of “Pee on the Pods’ podcast… You’re Welcome!

I really enjoy this show. I especially love the negative reviews on here of this show, which are CLEARLY written by people he’s torn apart. How adorable that they can’t take criticism. But this show is some of Dave Jackson’s best work. He points out a lot of common mistakes podcasters make and it’s a nice opportunity to self-reflect if you have your own show. He gets too angry at theme music longer than 6 seconds (dude, 15 seconds is fine, chill with that), and he’s too easy on the Christian shows or ones by people he knows (obvious bias on both fronts from him), but generally he’s honest and it’s a cool experiment. I have listened to every episode and wish he had the time to do it daily—that’s how much I light up when it pops into my notifications. Please never stop this show, Dave. Thank you, that is all.

just loved every minute!!

This is not only a great podcast to learn from other peoples mistakes, but also I find a lot of new podcasts to listen too! I like Dave's honest opinion and the funny comments he makes when he is listening to the podcast. -Josh

Thanks, Dave. Excellent feedback that is duly noted. ~Gregory Byerline, Host of Collected Clan which you rodeod in episode #8. Cheers.

Here’s your one star back

I love the podcast Dave. Great work on helping others to hear the good, and sometimes bad, out there in podcasts. And for the whiners about “copyright violations,” Dave’s work her falls under the fair use doctrine. Try looking it up.

I looked for my own show Wooist and as I searched around it looked like Dave was doing a review of my show. Too bad he looked at an episode of a 3 part episode so he had really no idea what the show was about. He's probably right in that I should have had an intro on that particular episode though.

The level of butthurt is to be expected by people that isn't liked. When you put yourself out there you have to expect some critisism. Dave's first impressions are usually about the same as mine. It's just an opinion not bullying or anything close.

Whaaaahh! I love reading the negative ratings! Oh my, what a bunch of cry babies. This show is brilliant! Quick, and witty! It’s a good learning experience for Podcasters to learn how to make shows better!

Goofy sound effects and lame humor. Not very useful at all.

By playing another persons podcast on this podcast without express written permission, it is a violation of copyright law/intellectual property rights. Also public criticism of random podcasts is considered cyber bullying and a really bad idea. Just saying..
