- Don’t use it. Lose it.
I don’t know which in the Jonathon Karl episode was more tortuous to listen to: host/guest going on incessantly about meaningless Trump anecdotes or host/guest humble-bragging about themselves — how they both know Trump, have audio of them asking Trump questions, etc, etc. Couldn’t make it through the hour and a half while the country is burning down, but I’m funny that way… Ego is a wonderful thing to lose.

United Statesa month ago - Stuart Steven’s interview
You can be a brilliant commentator, all the more reason to manage your perverted “sucking” metaphors. Listening to this show with my teenage granddaughter was horrible and it shouldn’t be that way.
Apple Podcasts5Psychologist CroneUnited Statesa month ago - Jonathan Freedland
Brilliant interview & in-depth discussion
of Freedland’s most recent books (I plan to read both). Long journalism at its very best! 5 stars are not enough.

Apple Podcasts3Scott FeinbergUnited States2 months ago - Good mostly, audio quality issues
Mostly like the show, but John you need to work on the consistency of your audio. Guess I have cheap headphones but some of what you say is mumbled or said quickly and hence lost to us listeners.
