    Work in Progress
    Big big fan of JLA and his YouTube content, and have enjoyed some segments of this pod, but I come away wanting more. Expected a lot with the premise, but feel like it’s just turned into any old football convo with the word ripple effect thrown in every couple of minutes. Didn’t want to rate lower than 4 because it doesn’t deserve that, but felt it was worth a critical review. I expect this pod will be the show I was hoping for in 6-12 months because James knows how to level up his content over time. I’m just hoping it can start getting to that level and really wow the listener with unforeseen ripples and not simply describing every single event that causes another as some massive ripple.
