Customer Reviews
Excited for part deux
Long time listener of the original version of this show and am stoked Adam is keeping it rolling. Nice to hear some non sales bs and just honest conversations. Looking forward to all of the new episodes.
One of the great interview podcasts
The Gently Mad is in its second incarnation, with even higher goals. Adam Clark's first run on TGM was solu-searching, revealing, and unique. Adam knows how to draw out great stories from his guests, not just their Greatest Hits or the latest pitch for their products. I'm very interested in seeing where the relaunch of TGMv.2 goes.
Refreshingly Authentic
Sometimes I wonder if I like Adam's work more than he does, but it's always enjoyable and I really like how genuine and authentic he is. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with the reboot!
