Customer Reviews
Please Read Elliott/BDot
This could be an amazing podcast. It should be. BDot really knows what he’s talking about, and so does Elliott. Both great interviewers, always engaging the person they’re interviewing, while not talking too much. Great selection of interesting people to interview thus far as well. So why did I rate it 2 stars? Honestly, Elliott’s laugh just completely ruins it for me. It’s been tolerable in stuff like CRWN where there’s more noise and the audio is more balanced….but in the podcast it’s literally just not tolerable at all.
The audio is fairly quiet and people are speaking softly, then literally every couple minutes (not exaggerating) you have this ridiculous cackle that’s so loud it physically pains my ears. I’m not a hater at all, I appreciate what Elliott does for the culture and he is genuinely extremely talented, but I won’t be a listener to this podcast unless this is somehow taken care of. Maybe edit it and simply lower the audio on his laugh to a reasonable level? Try not to laugh like that so often? It seems like he does it so much even when other people are simple chuckling or not even really laughing, he’s cracking up with this ridiculously loud laugh and it’s so out of place.
Again just being honest. I wish I could enjoy this podcast. I hope I can in the future. Best of luck.
Elliott's laugh ruins it
I'd give his podcast 5 stars, if Elliott Wilson didn't laugh hysterically at every little thing. It's so annoying. It ruins the podcast. Everything is not that funny. And everyone doesn't think your "signature laugh" is cute or funny, lol. Be you...just don't exaggerate it.
THE LAUGH
Love the podcast & guests, but I'm on the 2nd episode & this guys laughing at everything is driving me crazy.
