The Tangle with Kyle Ridley
KyleI’m Kyle, a former morning show producer who spent a decade researching and booking guests, and prepping my anchors to interview them. Of course, there’s only so much that can be said in a 5-minute TV segment, and so many questions go unasked.
Now I’m away from the control room and ready to take the mic, speaking with those who fascinate, inspire and challenge me. And the best part: there’s no com... more

I’m astonished it took me so long to find this podcast. The overlap in his and my interests is v... more
