  • Host needs to step up his game

    Granted, I’ve only listened to the Tim McGraw / Faith Hill interview because I LOVED 1883.

    The host does not listen well, asking Tim repeatedly about Season 2 and about Broadway, after Tim has already answered the questions. Tim was very nice about it, but I lost patience. And then the host obnoxiously fixates on how badly they must have smelled while shooting the show, with both of them.

    I crave depth. If you’re gonna keep it light, like Graham Norton, then be funny. This host did neither. An... more

  • SO MUCH JOY

    The Big Ticket has been one of my favorite series to listen to during the pandemic. Marc’s childlike wonder and genuine interest in each of the interviewees is wonderful. Thanks for spreading a little positivity.

  • Poor sound quality

    Great guests but two problems: sometimes can’t hear the interviewer’s questions OR the interviewer is too loud and can’t hear guest’s responses . Also, and this is a bit snarky, but Interviewer also sounds so much like The Cookie Monster from Sesame Street that at first I thought he was doing an impression and then I realized it’s his regular voice.

    Fix the sound quality and I’ll start listening again.
