I find the BP Podcasts to be fairly useless

[Stone Teran]

I love the forums here.  There are hoards of experienced folks who are very helpful.  I have a long commute to work and so I've been listening to the podcasts lately in my car.  I don't mean to bash anyone but I'd like to offer some feedback.

The podcasts seem to be geared to the high school dropout who isn't motivated enough to get up off the couch.  Why??  Other good industry-specific podcasts focus on those in the industry.  They do not focus on people who are not in the industry and certainly never on someone who is too unmotivated/unfocused/broke/scared to enter the industry!

The quality of the guests is OK.  They are a few sheisty-sounding hype machines on there but the majority are knowledgeable folks.  I just wish the hosts would ask the guests to talk about the business, marketplace, lessons learned and NOT spend 60% of the show asking how they overcame their fear to make their first deal.

I think this topic may go back to the subject of the different ways people learn. Some of us can learn by reading, some by doing, some by listening, etc., etc.

What works for one person, may not work for another. So with that in mind, while the podcasts may not be helpful to everyone, they may be extremely helpful to others. Maybe the ones who find them not so useful, aren't that type of learner. Just a thought...

Best of luck to all, apes & humans, alike. ;)
