5.0 out of 5 stars from 43 ratings
  • Stop interrupting guests please!

    Just started from the beginning (Kate Hudson) and unfortunately already getting frustrated by the male interviewer CONSTANTLY interrupting not only the guests but his own co-interviewer. Very amateur and coming across a bit sexist. Let people finish their sentences! Hopefully this is flagged as it’s the first ep and we can enjoy the rest in peace.
