The news when it comes is timely and useful. However the show is not really 30 minutes of news it is 10 minutes of really trashy ads delivered in what i would describe as a parody of adverts, then there is another 5 minutes of Danny Sullivan jokes and larking about and while Mr Sullivan might be an SEO Guru he is not a comedian. Added to that is an indeterminate time spent on pointless banter between the "presenter" and Mr Sullivan where the "presenter" does a fair bit of fawning to Mr Sullivan. So all in all i have to grit my teeth, skip over the ads and hope for the best. On the whole it's just too much so i will probably give up.
OK i could get rid of the ads by subscribing "FOR ONLY 0.99 CENTS A DAY" i live in England so we don't have cents, but i can get most of the same completely free from other SEO podcasts sans ads and sans "Oh Hi Danny aren't you wonderful? How did the move to your new house go> Were you OK?" etc.
