    I was looking for a podcast with Evan Funke and I came across. Andrew talks to Chefs episode with him. 13 minute talk about sponsors and absolutely random stuff before getting into the interview is a complete dealbreaker. I don’t have time for that.

  • Let guests talk more

    Interesting show, but like so many podcasts the host seems more interested in sharing his views on any given topic over listening to what his guests have to say and giving them space to talk.
