I’ve only listened to one episode with Ben Fordham but I wasn’t impressed. The main issue is Mike doesn’t listen closely to the responses and asks things already answered. Ben was a kind guest and tried to reframe and help with his responses. Feedback for Mike - watch Letterman on Netflix and how he pauses and responds. Or listen to Karl Stefanovic’s podcast.
Mike E is a very talented radio personality, I’ve been a fan since he started on the edge years ago.
So Interesting this pod. Love that you ask different questions to the norm and definitely get to know the person. Amanda’s interview I felt such a connection with and loved the life lessons. I have learnt a lot about what you have had to put up with in your industry that I didn’t know also. Learning how to stay down to earth from the Mitchell Coombs interview I loved that. 🫶
