Currently listening to the podcast where it’s a roundtable discussion about the life of a showgirl and the main hosts are constantly interrupting the other hosts. It’s actually getting frustrating, especially when I really like to hear what they have to say! If the main hosts are reading this, please just take this as constructive criticism to let your guests speak and finish their thought before interjecting
Please consider doing fewer interviews! Every week I used to be excited to listen to the hosts and their conversations with other editors, but now I’m just disappointed when I see it’s another celebrity interview :(
What good karma did you guys pool to get this girl? Good on you! What a creature of art she is.
If you’re going to advertise an episode as an artist interview, then actually interview the guest! I’m listening to the Rosalía interview because I want to hear HER talk about HER music, not the rambling ideas the hosts have about her music. Ask a question and actually listen to the answer before you start to speak again, please!
Am I crazy thinking this podcast used to branch out more? Now it just seems dead-focused on the most unavoidable normie music in the planet. Does a new Taylor Swift album need at least three dedicated installments?
