- Great Content Gets Lost
I see this feedback has repeatedly been given but nothing is improving. The host just keeps interrupting the authors mid-sentence and interjecting or cutting them off. It’s very hard to listen to. I want to hear the author’s full answer. Please take this feedback seriously as it looks like many reviewers agree and yet the host keeps doing it.

I don’t care about the show -butt- I love 💕 the Amari episodes
Apple Podcasts3AbracadabradorUnited States3 months ago - Fantastic, love listening to Miwa
Thorough and engaging interviews that broaden one’s understanding of the context and meaning of a work. Reminds us that art doesn’t happen in a vacuum; all the content we love, that moves and changes us, is carefully nurtured and shepherded by people who got there before us and are welcoming us in. Grateful for this sophisticated podcast and for Miwa’s velvety voice. Also, hearing Annie Leibovitz call someone a legend is all the recommendation I’ll ever need.
