- Not good
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.
Apple Podcasts5maxrat90Australia3 months ago - Asks the questions I would.
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. 🫶
Cant wait for each Wednesday!
