Subjective Review:
I hate it when news sources create ‘practical advice’. It just falls short and ends up being sensationalist. What I really want is practical advice and don’t wrap it in ‘end of the world’ sound bites. I listened to these four short podcast bits and am determined to keep moving on to find other podcasts worth my time and your time. This one just lacks content quality. There is some good advice in this podcast, but you have to put on your rubber boots, rain slicker, and heavy gloves to battle the acid rain of generalizations and extreme statements that come with this little podcast. I would not recommend it for the average person.
Context: I listened to the following dated podcasts on 1/30/2008: 1/24/2008, 1/25/2008, 1/28/2008, 1/29/2008.
