  • Poor chemistry.

    There is decent stuff in here, but every time Candace is on the pod, it seems like the other hosts are just talking over her and cutting her off.

    This happens to a lesser extent to other members of the panel as well.

    This pod would be way more impactful if each contributor was able to fully share their fleshed out thoughts. The lack of chemistry really holds this podcast back. Perhaps if they tried only 2 hosts / episode they could get to a better discussion.
