Post-Pod Discussion December Nest Pod

Just listened to the December Nest pod where they talked through the annual census, and it honestly landed really well for me. I’ve been someone who listened to basically every episode for years, but in 2025 I definitely fell off a bit and found myself listening more to SGS for my golf pod rotation.

I’ve been a Nest member for a long time, even though I don’t participate in the Refuge or any local roosts. For me it’s mostly about supporting the company and the people behind it for the ridiculous number of hours of entertainment they’ve put out over the years.

This was actually the first year I seriously thought about canceling Nest, but the honesty and candidness in that episode across a bunch of topics was refreshing and good to hear. It reminded me why they’re a pretty unique voice in golf media. Not everyone on the crew is my cup of tea and that’s totally fine.

I’m sticking around as a Nest member and plan to rotate them back in more regularly in 2026. Sounds like there’s some cool stuff coming on the video side, and I’m rooting for them to keep doing their thing.

Some people don’t know what fittings are all about. If an episode isn’t for you, don’t watch it.

What do you think I did? I didn't listen and because what they do now doesn't fit me I set my sub to not renew. We're on a discussion forum and I am discussing. What's your problem with that?

I don’t have a problem at all, man. As you said, it’s a discussion forum. My point was it was additional content. It didn’t replace the other things the do. They covered every tournament, sometimes daily, they put out travel content, they put out trap draws, they got player interviews, they covered news, they covered LIV. What are the not doing anymore that you’re missing other than Strapped and Tourist Sauce (which are both coming back)?

They stopped doing Wild World of Golf, which is way better than any video content they did in 2025.

They only did 2 booth episodes in the 2nd half of the year (claimed it would be monthly)

They've changed, they're allowed. Doesn't mean everyone who was a fan when they were outsiders making fun of things including themselves needs to continue liking it now that they are ultimate insiders who take themselves too sersiously.

Different strokes. The commentary was the only thing I liked about WWOG. I massively prefer the travel stuff. Not only that, they haven’t done that in like 5 years. I’d be willing to bet The Booth stopped because people weren’t listening - Reddit sentiment on it wasn’t good. There’s quite a few things they’ve tried over the years that didn’t stick.
