  • Just a suggestion

    Like the pod, good content but the ask a question, sit back, ask a question, sit back, ask a question, sit back doesn’t give the listener much more than just what the guest can answer, esp guests that are nervous etc. Just engage more and I think you can get even deeper. That’s all. That’s my opinion and suggestion.

I Was on America's Most Wanted at 19 — Then Survived 20 Years Inside New York's Worst Prisons | Kevin "Fresh" Townsend

I Was on America's Most Wanted at 19 — Then Survived 20 Years Inside New York's Worst Prisons | Kevin "Fresh" Townsend
