- I like amol
He is a great interviewer but some of the guests quite hard to follow or understand I listened to 9 October show and person who was on couldn’t explain herself very well - I felt the emotion but there were few details

Hi Amol I came to your podcast via Rob and Josh’s Parenting Hell on which you were a guest. I have found your podcast to be informative and entertaining in equal measure. Thank you for all the work you and your production team do to bring it to us. And a special thank you to the wonderful guests who bring the amazing content. You’re a superb interviewer. Keep up the great work.
