Reviews

4.3 out of 5 stars from 81 ratings
  • Impressive Guests

    Rita seems really nice but she is not a good radio interviewer. Takes up so much time asking a question the giving a lot of commentary around the question instead of letting the expert guests answer the question. Someone needs to sit with her while listening to the podcast and correct her missteps. Think she could quickly learn how to fix this problem because it is getting hard to listen

  • Good content BUT PLEASE

    STOP SCREAMING OVER ONE ANOTHER AND Rita reduce your questions - not editorials. Save that for your nighttime show when you have more time and fewer guests.
