United States9 months ago - Respect for Melvin
I’m trying my best to make it through the whole podcast. I really have respect for Melvin. He’s wonderful at telling his story. This would have been better if it was more professionally done. I don’t think the son should have done the interview. The son is extremely annoying and asks irrelevant questions. I’m sorry to the son but it’s so bad …

Good except son interrupts a lot and it gets in the way of Mel’s story. Mel’s story is compelling. Sorry to say about son, but it was annoying.
Apple Podcasts4maddyfamily7United Statesa year ago - Mel was was wonderful to listen to!
I found it sad the way Mel’s son spoke to his father. The snapping and interrupting was quite disrespectful to your father especially on a platform where thousands of people are listening.
