  • Have a monologue …

    Jim seems to just like listening to himself so much. He goes into all kinds of directions to digress and show off ..that his guest can’t even properly reason and present their case. The flow gets disrupted so so often. Maybe he should have another podcast that is just a monologue and such a genre does exist. Poor interviewer.
