  • Hit or miss…lately more misses

    This podcast is so hit or miss for me. I find some of the interviews like Bob Odenkirk and Billy Strings incredibly profound because 1. I was not fans of them before this and completely changed my mind about them and 2. They really get to the heart of being a human and the human experience. Lately, for example Chris Rock and Sylvester Stallone felt so one note and under researched and completely self promotional. Yes, you want to talk about your latest project but the whole interview really shou... more

  • Only listen when David Marchese is the interviewer

    I wish only David Marchese interviewed the guests. He’s amazing. Connects with his guests in such a natural way that they end up saying more. Was disappointing that the interview of Robby Hoffman was wasted on Lulu, horrible interview. She missed so many moments. Don’t get me started on her interview of our Vice President. Just skip Lulu’s interviews and then it’s a 5 star show.

  • Lulu: you overpowered Matthew

    We hardly got to hear him. You didn’t draw him out. You competed with him and sounded high on the sound of your own thoughts and feelings. Normally love Lulu but this disappointed. Her hard hitting quality is great with politicians and outspoken public personae like Tucker Carlson and sometimes her energy meshes well even with celebs like Charlize Theron. But a lot of these softer interviews, wish she could help her guest shine and come through louder.
