  • A mixed bag

    Some of these episodes have really hit home. Very entertaining and often hilarious. Others can be a little bland - very dependent on the character of the guest.

    Craig makes a solid contribution as the expert host. Helps to mirror and magnify the points and stories from the guests.

    Amy does okay, but there are times I cringe a little. Often she just repeats the point just made by the guest, presenting it as a fresh question.

    So, happy to listen selectively. The Merson

  • Haven’t missed an episode!

    Picked this up by chance.

    So glad I did. Love the fact that each episode has a topic of focus. Love that each guest has an insight on that topic.

    Amy and Craig are a perfect pairing.

    Keep them coming!!!!
