  • Truly a terrible interviewer

    I rarely write bad reviews, but I was completely shocked at how bad her interview with Tim Key was- half of her questions were things he had already answered. It’s like she wasn’t listening to him at all. I realize it’s fashionable for absolutely everyone to have a podcast, and I like the premise of this one, but it takes skill to be a good host and interviewer.

  • Talk too fast

    Although I have enjoyed several broadcasts, the one with Laura Donnelly was so difficult to follow. I was so interested in hearing her experiences of being raised in Belfast, but she and Lauren talking together confused me. Perhaps it’s nervousness which I doubt or the Irish dialect which is very fast.

  • Cuts off the guest

    The interviewer talks over her guests answers to answer herself and just makes it about her instead. When I wanted the guest to finish talking she cut her off
