Listener sentiment
BigDeal continues to earn strong enthusiasm from the majority of recent listeners, who praise host Codie Sanchez's blunt, practical approach to business and wealth-building, her high-caliber guest lineup, and the sense that each episode delivers actionable takeaways rather than motivational fluff. The most recent ratings from summer 2026, however, show a noticeable uptick in criticism — a departure from the near-universal praise that characterized the show's earlier reviews. Multiple reviewers independently flagged distracting breathing and microphone sounds as a recurring audio problem, while others reported persistent buffering and playback issues with the podcast feed. Editorial concerns surfaced as well: one listener criticized the decision to host a guest whose commentary blamed feminism for male depression and announced they were unfollowing, another questioned Codie's business credentials outright, and a complaint about an undisclosed subscription upsell tied to a prior Tony Robbins episode continues to resonate. While these remain a minority of the overall feedback, they suggest the show is facing growing scrutiny on production quality and guest vetting alongside its enduring popularity.
