  • Cool guests, horrible review

    Listening to the podcast with Emil Amos…absolutely awesome except for the rambling interviewer. Man…just shut up and let your guest talk. Your insights are so surface level and not needed. How many times do you say “y’know?”>> it’s in the several hundreds.

  • Guests great / conversations should be more focused on guests

    Great guests! Wish the focus was more on these guests instead of the host’s experiences/life. Less of the interviewer extending/contextualizing questions (just ask them directly) would also benefit the flow of the conversations and the show. Will follow the show and look forward to seeing how it develops!
