    The guests are great but the lack of professionalism from the hosts and constant interrupting of their guests make it extremely hard to listen to this podcast. They begin to speak as if they are the ones being interviewed. The interview with Danni-Elle is a perfect example. So much opportunity with this interview but the constant interruptions and chiming in with their opinions made it boring and painful. This is me giving this podcast another chance and still NEED BETTER INTERVIEW ETIQUETTE!

  • Great show!

    Love the guests, love the pickleball insider perspective, but… I would love a more intentional effort from the hosts to not talk over their guests. Otherwise great content.

    Great work!
