- Let it flow
I love the local content and your generous sharing of the South African food scene, but you don’t let your guests flow which is frustrating to listen to. Often it sounds like they’re about to delve into something interesting or juicy and you interrupt with your own anecdote or a premature remark, interrupting the cadence of the conversation. Let your guests flow, it makes for better listening and more interesting content.
