  • Missed potential

    The show has interesting guests just very poor interviewing. I want to like the show, but it seems like Kevin finds people in the bbq world and tries to talk to them about anything besides bbq. Even a few of Kevin’s past guests I have spoken to were surprised as to how little bbq was talked about. Also, very poor audio quality which is distracting at times. Hopefully the show improves soon. Like I said, I really do want to like it.
