Her questions draw out such honest, thought-provoking responses, and her genuine connection with her guests makes you feel like you’re right there in the room. Every episode leaves me inspired, informed, and eager for more.

  • Great interviewer but overly obsequious

    I totally agree with a previous reviewer so have pasted below. Elizabeth is a skilled interviewer and has such great, interesting guests on the podcast.

    However, her style is overly obsequious which can be uncomfortable to listen to and at times comes across as inauthentic as she is desperate to find common ground and be liked by every guest.

    She also doesn’t always need to like or agree with the guest but it feels she is desperate to. I find myself cringing at these parts.

  • Gushing

    I can’t listen anymore because of the constant over the top gushing over guests and insisting that you are just the same in your thoughts as they are. The fawning is waaaay over the top.
