    I really like Mo but struggled listen to this Podcast, I only listened as I liked the guest. All he does throughout the whole interview is say ‘hmm’ it’s soo annoying, literally after everything she said he’d go ‘hmm’. If you played a drinking game and took a shot everytime he says ‘hmm’ you’d be a gonner. Can’t listen again sadly! This is a prime example of you’re famous so have a podcast, not a great interviewer and literally speaking to fill a gap.

  • Not a good interviewer

    Only listened because Joanne McNally was a guest. Mo isn’t a good interviewer, quite boring chat which is only saved by the person he’s interviewing.

  • Not well researched

    Mo contradicts himself and hasn’t done his research. He also talks in unclear sentences and often way more than the guest. The opening of the Dean Forbes podcast is painful. No clear structure, Mo is rambling. Mo didn’t understand or ask Dean to explain what he actually does and so it was painful to listen to Mo even after Dean corrects him a few times. Dean doesn’t broker deals… there were a few missed opportunities for Mo to dig deeper but they were missed. Very surface level.
