- Beverly Wang really needs some training
I loved her in Download This, but her conversation episodes are so awkward and lack warmth. The guests are left hanging and it’s like she’s reading a list of questions to stead of actually interacting in a meaningful way. I hope she has the chance to improve, I do like her work

Richard has a way with people, he is warm and empathetic. It is clear he has done his background work before he speaks to people. He is a pleasure to listen to.
