  • Good but not great

    Often good content and guests, but Rip is not a great interviewer. He’s clearly a warm person, though, so that saves the day most of the time. I always fast forward through the first 5 to 7 minutes of every interview, however, because he has to recap where he met the person, which is sooooo boring and of not interest to listeners.

  • Great subjects, new host

    I could consume podcasts on these subjects hour after hour, and I truly do respect Rip and all he has done for the space! However, he is simply not a strong interviewer, and I would love to see some fresh energy brought in.
