    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.
