United States22 days ago - Getting better
The hosts are getting better but still too much childish banter and cross talking. Let your guests speak and stop asking questions over each other and sharing about your own story, we want to hear the guests talk.
And do better research. I know more about the guests from my years as a soap fan than you guys do

Ashley and Drucilla were my two favorite female characters on YR. I remember when she would have those glasses on and her blue lab coat doing the chemist thing; the coolest, most striking, powerful white
lady.

I enjoy listening to the guests but it’s very annoying when Ms. Budig keeps interrupting her guests and overtakes the conversation and makes it about her. Stop cutting off your guests please!
