  • Pretty Decent

    The content is pretty good but it always feels like the host was handed a highlight sheet minutes before the show and is just reading from it as opposed to interviewing the guest.

    It’s an important topic - needs more fluidity to the interview process.

  • DONT ADVERT MID-SHOW

    Love the content

    Adverts are nice but poorly executed

    Please leave ads in the front & plugs at the end

    Usually don’t comment but HATE ADS IN THE MIDDLE
