I love:
CL's banter with her journalists--great mutual respect
The diversity of subject matter
Editorial sanity across the board
But:
Too much ad bulk! Run a display ad as the album cover for the episode instead of weighing down this still-new show with tons of ads!! Build the audience!
Cynthia's solo delivery needs more energy (or a fired-up co-host). Sorry but sometimes it sounds like she's reading the lunch menu at a retirement home!
Yes, I'm listening but I'm not at th... more
The guests and topics discussed are always interesting. But, gosh, eight and a half minutes of ads (except a quick intro) before the episode really even starts ? Admittedly, there have been instances I’ve lost interest and moved on rather than slog through.
Very poor sound quality of podcasts - please get better microphones so we can hear what you have to say!
Way too many ad for such a short podcast. I get it but come on guys.
so much expertise (e.g. ep 214: Shirley quick-deadpan quotes a couple Jay-Z lyrics… this gives me life)
so little fluff that normally fuels this kind of content.
This is THE way to appreciate the folks behind the famous.
