This pod would probably be top 25, but with all these ads at the most inconvenient times, it’s top 200. Graham I skip all the ads, let your sponsors know that

It’s 2025 and the podcast is becoming unlistenable due to way too many ads. Literally feels like every 3 minutes there’s an ad now. There are literally points where it’ll be an ad. Then a sentence from the episode then another ad right after. It’s really making it hard to keep listening to this podcast. I can’t leave anything less than 5 stars because of how much respect I have for you guys but if the ads continue to be this bad I definitely am going to stop listening. — Review from 2022: It’s an amazing podcast because it feels like they’re all my buddies who are killing it and it makes me want to grind to keep up with them.

Unlistenable. 12 minutes in and there’s been 2 ad interruptions and an intro ad. Im good, plenty of other podcasts that respect the listeners

I gave up on this podcast

The episode I listened to started out with an ad which is fine, I expect that. When they actually started, within the first 15 minutes there were three additional ads. I turned it off at that point because the podcast was listed as over two hours long. I’m not interested in an add break every five minutes.

If you love listening to ads interrupting conversations every 2 minutes, this is for you!

The content is awesome! You 2 fellas are a great duo. But man I’ll tell you what, there’s way more ads in these episodes than usual now-a-days. I understand needing them but less would be ideal! Aside from that, big fan!

I’ve listened to Graham for years, and when I saw the episode with Dr Mike I had to listen to it.

Content is fine, abrupt ad inserts with no bumper and constantly every five minutes is annoying and makes the shows annoying to listen to.

There are soooo many ads in this podcast now. It used to be good but there is one every 5 minutes now’s. It’s so annoying.

This is an ad with occasional podcast intermissions. Why so many ads??? It ruined your podcast

Some podcast episodes are fine but some have CONSTANT ads

Doug Demuro reposted the podcast he was on, figured I would give it a shot. I’m 35 minutes in and I think I heard 5-6 ads already… really makes it hard to follow.

Love this podcast, but it’s gotten too annoying to listen to with all the interruptions for ads. Especially since they all start the same way “but you know what, before we get into that…”

Great show and informative, but about 20+ ads every episode…

Been listening for years. Slowly stopped because the ads totally ruin the flow. Working out while listening is impossible because I’m constantly having to listen to unrelated ads which totally break concentration. May sound whiny but it’s getting ridiculous.

I absolutely love all the podcasts. Whether I agree or not. Keep up the great conversation. I usually listen to every episode and take in most the opinions and thought into consideration. For the first time an episode struck a nerve. The implication that abortion in not an issue to base your vote on felt wrong coming from someone who would not be effected by the subject in a life changing way telling the opposition that would be that it’s a non starter. I was speechless.

Too many advertisements. Can’t even enjoy listening to the discussion with ads every 2 minutes.

If your thing is listening to boring wealthy men then this is your bag.

As much as I love Graham, this podcast is just loaded with ads and it’s hard to even find a decent podcast episode when the title doesn’t say who the guest is, the title is clickbait, and the description is another ad placement. At least describe what the episode is about. I rarely listen to this podcast because I don’t even know if the episodes are worth my time.

The number of ads have gotten out of control. The changes in audio volume is also terrible

I started listening to this podcast because of the interesting guests that were on the show, but you can’t even focus on the content cause there’s an ad every 3 mins. What a waste. I understand that people need to make money and monetize the podcasts to be able to create them, but there has to be a better way than sticking an irrelevant ad in every 3 mins.

Listened to the Jordan Peterson episode this week and I swear every 2 minutes was an add or sponsor. Would recommend ng out a better way to plug sponsors or ads. Hard to focus on conversation with plugs.

I enjoy the show and the guests, but the volume of the voices is way too low - I need to turn my car stereo up twice as loud as anything else in order to understand what people are saying.

Graham, awhile back, you encouraged Doug DeMuro to take on paid sponsorships…that they could be done without alienating listeners. I’m here to tell you that the frequency of your ads and the unpredictable sound levels compared with show content volume are alienating me….and many others I’m sure. I understand that these ads and sponsorships are important revenue sources for your show. If you fail to strike a better, more listener-friendly balance between content and ads, you will lose followers and imperil your revenue stream. Thanks.

Audio quiet, ads too loud. Don’t like jumpscares with my podcasts ;)

Gents, Y’all are are amazing. This latest Cathy Wood episode though is filled with commercials. I am about 35 minutes in and have had at least 10 separate commercials. I totally get that you have to pay the bills, but maybe there is a bit more of a balance that we can strike. Either way, keep up the great work!

Great ad with a few podcast bits in between

Need to turn up the volume on microphones… I can’t hear with my phone and headphones on full volume

The content on this page is phenomenal. Outstanding guest speakers from all walks of life, speaking on topics that we all question as we become wiser in our age. If you want to learn and expand your box listen to this podcast!

Love this show. Love graham. Love jack. Everything is perfect, sometimes graham goes on a real estate rant for 10 min but i still love him. The show came a long way. Great new guests btw

I tried listening to this show, and only made it halfway through an episode before deciding it was not for me. This wasn’t due to the abundance of ads either. The TLDR of my review is that the hosts don’t seem to have a lot of life experience and the podcast is annoying to listen to. The podcast tries to set a casual, but semi-intellectual tone. However, there’s something I can’t put my finger on with these hosts. I’m not sure how old they are, but the line of questioning they have with their guest (it was a political commentator) felt really poor. I’m not one to go off of feelings alone, but my gut told me these two don’t have a ton of life experience interacting with regular people. It’s almost like they missed the retail/service industry/manual labor jobs that most people, even upper middle class kids, go through as they grow into independent adults. My only caveat is that these guys might be younger than they look, because one was still referencing his experience in high school as if it was fresh in his mind. At best these guys seem like they are young, dumb, low-information interviewers who are genuinely curious about their guests’ opinions. In the middle, they’re concern trolls with set opinions making a buck off of their guests, drawing in audiences hungry for YouTube drama. At worst, they’re cynical twenty-five year olds from the venture capital or finance world, and they’re seizing on a media opportunity, making as much as they can by interviewing as many controversial guests as possible. All in all, it just makes for a bad podcast and an annoying listen.

Loved that sooooooo much! Please invite them moreeeeee they are so amazinggggg!

I love you guys & your content! Some of the best interviewers out there! I think you should get the Mind Pump guys on your show; Sal, Adam, & Justin. Check out their podcast if you haven’t already. They’ve changed the fitness game & based off some of your personal questions, I think you’d love them!!

The editing is too sporadic and choppy, feels like you’re listening to a TikTok influencer video the whole time. First episode I listened to had 5 different ads in the first 20 minutes and no warning as to when they were coming up. Really liked the person they had on and I listen to his other podcast too so I really wanted to listen to the whole thing. The whole thing was honestly a mess from the start. Clearly the hosts are only about clickbait and making money, not about presenting a clear and thoughtful conversation with value to the listener.

I enjoy the content of the podcast; however, I have to max out my volume just to hear it. If I watch the same episode on YouTube, I can listen to it at normal volume levels. I can’t really recommend the podcast on Apple Podcast until this issue is fixed.

Please up the volume. When I listen to it whether it headphones or driving in the car the volume it’s always so low. Either speak closer to the microphones or turn the volume up. Please. I love listening to you guys just the volume is a problem.

Geez I’m sorry but the ads make the pod unlistenable. 27 minutes into a 2 hour pod and already FIVE ADS!!!

One of my favorite podcasts for sure!

Great podcast overall, I watch/listen to it on YouTube. The audio seems to be fine on YouTube but whenever I have to listen to it on Apple podcast, the audio is just flat out bad. Very quiet to the point I have to turn it up to max volume and still can’t hear well, while some parts I get irritated because I have it on max and someone shouts or the volume suddenly increases dramatically. Would love for you guys to look into the audio on Apple podcast! Keep doing great!

I’ve listened to podcasts where the host knows how to interview the guests in a way where their knowledge really shines through. In these recent episodes the hosts spend the whole time projecting their beliefs and where they disagree with the guest. It really kills the flow of conversation.

Are they trying to break a record for how many ads can be squeezed into a podcast?

This was a good podcast back when the regular guests were people like Shelby Church and Jeremy what’s his name. But I’ve been super off put by the roster of right wing extremists. Also disappointed in Graham (and even more so) Jack’s lack of social responsibility…. They avoid important topics like the plague but have no problem parading around Ben Shapiro and other misogynists…I don’t get it. I have also taken a step back from all the Graham Stephan & Fam’s YouTube channels and sponsored products. (I ALWAYS supported… the coffee, the bank, Macy’s channel, sent stuff to PO Box, etc... but I can’t in good conscience do it anymore.) Don’t make the same mistakes as Meet Kevin and ruin your credibility. Good luck.

A recent interview with Jason Oppenheim features a “research study” that perpetuates the harmful stereotype that people with facial differences do not experience discrimination in the work place. In a social media post to promote the podcast, they feature a photo of a woman that was posted without her consent. This is unacceptable. At the very least, the post should be removed.

I really enjoyed this podcast when I first started listening, but in the last 6 or so months it has taken a turn I’m not really okay with. I’ve noticed the host only really highlights big named conservative guests. There hasn’t been that counterpoint or counterbalance in that comes from having guests with different standpoints. I think it could be improved. There ~must~ be a liberal somewhere who have interesting financial/life journeys to share.

Love the questions and content! Found this podcast on YouTube because I'm into Graham Stephen's financial advice. Jack's questions are on point and make the interviews truly pop! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This podcast was great but has started to go down hill. Especially with its choice of guests recently.

Podcast went from discussing financial topics to interviewing big names in the YouTube and social media space that will just grab attention from right wing incels

Love when he had Ben, Brett, and Mai on! He is balanced and looks at both sides of an argument! Truely a man with integrity and good advice!

This “financial advice” misses fails to touch on countless important investment risks and was alarming to listen to. Graham sounds like he took an investments 101 class and is selling those ideas as revolutionary. Listeners be warned.
