  • More Conversation, Please, and Less Presentation

    Ken knows his craft for sure, and has great energy, perhaps, at times, even a tad too much. I would enjoy it more if the approach was less presentational and more calmly conversational. The information is excellent. I just would rather not feel like I'm being yelled at. Or maybe I'm too sensitive. In any case, thanks for the podcast and for your work at Manhattan Rep..
