  • Great Content, but let your guests speak

    I love the info, but it’s hard to listen to with the presenter saying “uh huh, yup, yeah, uh huh” every two seconds. Perhaps he wants to let the whole world know that the information isn’t novel or unfamiliar to him… we don’t care if you already know. Ask a question and let the guest speak.
