I was listening to a lot of Mixergy some 10 years ago and I really enjoyed it but for some reason stopped. I was looking for something to listen to couple weeks ago and after spending some 20 minutes to remember the name "Mixery" I listened to couple of his latest podcasts. It feels so different now. I think the general attitude of Andrew towards his guests has changed a lot. He is so pushy now and it feels like the episodes are more about him, rather than the story of the guest.

Same. Mixergy 10 years ago was able to hustle a lot of interviews with really famous/interesting people, that helped Mixergy get traction and grow, despite the interviews themselves being pretty bland.

I'm sure with experience they have gotten better. Although to your point maybe Andrew is "bigger" than his guests now, changing the dynamic.

I haven’t listened in several years but I tried a few tonight and they are really good and feel like what I remember. Andrew seems to be better at asking the mid-interview questions early, which is more interesting. The guests are giving specific answers with plenty of detail.
Agreed. I'd say that happens to most podcasts or YT channels once professionalism, agendas and routine over excitement kicks in.
