  • Helpful but niche

    Some really interesting and helpful interviews! I do feel like it’s so very specific that the content tends to be a bit repetitive. Also, the opening sound bites need to be edited way shorter and the music layered over it needs to be reduced a lot—it’s a really annoying jumble of sounds to start out with. Otherwise the host has a pleasant voice and delivery.
