This Glenn guy is the worst. Only interested in talking about himself.

The only reason I haven’t listened to all of these episodes yet is that sometimes they just get me too optimistic about running off and starting a Kickstarter to write a book, or shoot a movie, or design a pen. I’m sad that they have to take a break from production, but at least it gives me time to catch up!

I dig the easy back-and-forth host Glenn Fleishman shares with his guests. Some reviewers believe he talks too much about his own experience (or that of others), but I find that these landmarks give me perspective on the significance of his guests’ experiences. Not all of the guests’ trades are relevant to my interests, but I find myself enjoying every show anyway (and yes, learning useful things even when I don’t expect to). If you’re interested in understanding our changing economy, try this show. Tune in and stay tuned.

Every week, Glenn Fleishman recruits an awesome new guest to talk about something interesting. The eclectic guest list, engaging interview style, and knowledge-friendly nature of this podcast make it a welcome respite from usual podcast fare. You won't find boring banter, dogma, or lazy production here—only top notch interviews with creative people, conducted with relentless enthusiasm. This podcast is best if you're interested in the subject matter. Admittedly, if you don't want to hear about the Chinese production of audio accessories, you won't like the show. But for anyone who's curious about the nuts and bolts of the new economy, The New Disruptors and Glenn Fleishman are great guides.

I love his enthusiasm, and the way Glenn's experience and connections in this world bring light to MY own questions and next steps. Just hearing what's possible from the stories here helps me have better ideas moving forward.

I had to laugh at some of the reviews saying how Glenn likes to tell the guests about themselves. He does do that a little, but it's really not excessive. It's about his energy and his enthusiasm for the guests and their areas of disruption. My guess is he learns this way in life and he's learning from the guests as the podcast is being recorded. Personally, I like Glenn's work. I think the podcast is a unique and fascinating one, and the guests are outstanding. Glenn has a huge variety of experience in so many areas, and I think he is a good interviewer. He knows the questions to ask. Whatever minor nitpicks people have now will disappear in time. To have the quality of guests and episodes that he does every time says a lot about him considering how new this podcast is.

The concept is excellent. The guests are interesting. But…the host doesn't seem to understand how to interview his guests properly. He often 'disrupts' his guest with long-winded contextual information, leaving them silent for most of the podcast. I love the premise of this podcast but cannot listen to it any longer. The host is over opinionated and almost patronizing to listeners, as he constantly usurps the momentum from his guests. I guess graphic designers aren't trained in asking open-ended or leading questions. Such a bummer, if this is fixed, than the podcast deserves your full attention.

Shame because the guests are interesting.

Glenn, you really need to give your guests more time to speak. Ignoring and speeding up your talking while your guests are trying to say something is a bad idea. The format is good. The guests are superb. Glenn is actually becoming one of my fav hosts, except that one cons he needs tone down. The opening and closing music is good. Usually podcasts get better as they ages, hopefully this one will too. Keep it up Glenn.

I just found out about this podcast and listened to all of the episodes in a couple of sittings. Really great guests and Glenn is an excellent interviewer (I think he used to be a typesetter). I listen to a lot of podcasts on many different subjects and this is one of the best I've come across. The subject is of special interest to me but I would recommend it to someone with even a passing interest in the topic. I'm looking forward to more!

A podcast wherein Mr. Fleishman explains to his guest the meaning of their work and how it relates to his life in charming personal anecdotes concerning Glenn. Occasionally the guest will be allowed to speak sending Mr. Fleishman off on another tangent. Did you know Glenn Fleishman was trained as a typesetter? It's true! This podcast actually has the potential to be quite good if Mr. Fleishman will let his interesting guests get a word in edgewise.

I love the content—the host and guests are smart and informative. I just wish Glenn would give the guests a bit more room to talk instead of dominating the conversations.

The current episode with Dalton Caldwell is so insightful and informative. All episodes do a brilliant job of pulling the curtain back on those who make things, tremendously valuable things. Glen's acumen is unparalleled. He naturally, effortlessly engages with and supports his guests, producing thoughtful, memorable conversations.

Some great guests on this show.

This is a wonderful set of podcasts interviews with a diverse group of really inspiring people involved in - and enabling - the "maker" movement. Everyone he has interviewed has been wonderful, and the topics are very interesting and on the mark. My only caveat is that Glenn inserts himself into the conversation too much, and doesn't give his interviewees more space to talk and explain things on their own. I find myself yelling at my car radio for him to "shut up and listen!" quite often.

I recommend this podcast to all my friends. I'm not a 'maker' but the things you're talking about are very very interesting to people who are creative like myself. Keep up all the good work. I hope you guys find continued success.

Always insightful and thought-provoking.

Required listening for anyone interested in the way that firms are using technology to compete in diverse markets.

Glenn does a fantastic job of profiling a wide variety of people, businesses, and business models. I find this podcast interesting because Glenn is able to get right to the heart of the businesses and the people themselves. He really connects with the people he interviews and explores, with them, the details and intricacies of their business. This is a must-listen if you are at all into emerging technologies or businesses. Great show.

I love this podcast, if only that it's not Just Another Tech Podcast. But it's not only that: the discussions are always eye-opening and highly informative, and Glenn's dashing personality is fun and blends well with his guests. Give the first episode a spin—a great intro to the podcast.

So awesome. Like participating in a conversation with people who are changing the world from the bottom up.

Glenn Fleishman is a wonderful writer and thinker, and makes the transition to audio interviews beautifully. The episode with Chris Anderson sold me.

Technology is empowering a new generation of independent creators and makers. It might be the most important macro trend of this age, but it's difficult to encompass when you consider the breadth of fields that it reaches. Glenn is doing an amazing job of shining a spotlight on the pioneers of this movement, and explaining why it's important. You couldn't ask for a more eloquent and knowledgeable host.

The guests and the topics are excellent, but the host (Glenn) seems to spend more time telling the guests about themselves than he does asking questions. On the positive side, Glenn's monologging certainly shows that he has spent a lot of time and effort researching the topic so it doesn't seem like the guest has to educate him on the subject. Over all, well worth listening to, but I'd like to hear more from the guests themselves.

On my list of must-listens if this keeps up.

Glenn Fleishman is doing a great job of profiling the people behind the future of business. Any essential listen for anyone who wants to make it in our new economy.

With more and more people getting into self-publishing and self-production, this podcast is what you need when trying to learn from those who went before you. Glenn is a great host who asks the right questions about how production and distribution has taken a new form and guest who are willing to share their experiences. Great podcast and already a favorite!
