  • Could be great

    Love Ballard Design & love the guests but cannot listen. Caroline saying “hmmmmm” & “mmm hmm” after every sentence uttered by a guest —- is too excruciating. Either respond with words or don’t say anything.

  • Enjoy it overall!

    Appreciative of this great free resource from Ballard to learn more about decorating. I always particularly enjoy the interviews with designers. It is a little funny to me that one host does at least 70% of the talking. Maybe that’s just me, as I tend to notice that dynamic any time it appears in a podcast. Would love to hear more equally from the hosts.
