Apple Podcasts2southernseadragonAustraliaa month ago - Dr Em’s episodes interrupted
I always look forward to Dr Emily’s episodes with her insightful and practical episodes. But so often I’m left feeling disappointed and frustrated when hosts Hugh and Ryan spoil them by repeatedly interrupting with self indulgent anecdotes and jokes that aren’t even funny. Such a shame. I feel like Dr Emily only gets to say a fraction of the super helpful info she has prepared because of these regular interruptions.
