  • Do not write as you record

    I’m not sure if you’re aware, but your pencil comes through very clearly and annoyingly as your guest is speaking. Fan of what y’all are doing, as a whole.

  • So-so

    Interesting topics, but needs better interviewers. The interviewers sound awkward and don’t ask very good questions. They rarely press the speaker with anything challenging.
