Love it!

Paul, the podcast is great, has a nice variety of guests from all across the board. I’d give you five stars, but you’ve gotta nail down the audio quality. I’ve listened to every episode, some aren’t so bad, but others....eek! It sounds like you are washing the dishes or throwing coins into a huge metal vat or something while your guests are talking. Other than that, love it, enjoy your humor & perspective on things.

Paul Mecurio is a national treasure

I love this podcast and I love Paul as a host. He in a great interviewer and one of the funniest people in the world. And his guests… OMG the best guests. I highly recommend this amazing podcast!!!! A

Funny, informative, and smart

Lots of podcasts get A-List guests, but they’re often framed around marketing questions that get the same old answers. What sets Paul Mecurio apart is that he digs deep into the creative process and humanity of each guest. It’s apparent that his questions are better received and the conversations flow in much more interesting directions. I highly recommend the Inside Out podcast.
