  • Lacking

    Tuned in for interview with Martha Stewart who have lived a varied life & had dozens of fascinating stories to tell all of which were continually derailed by the host who interrupted incessantly & diverted the guest with her never ending stream of consciousness. It would have been enjoyable if Martha had actually been allotted an opportunity to answer the questions she was being asked.

    I love everything about this podcast.

    Every episode feels like I’m watching a friend, it’s engaging and so organic. Not scripted and fake. Shawn is prepared and yet it flows as though she is just chatting with her friends. Love every single one!! Keep them coming! Can’t wait for the Martha episode
