  • Let guests speak!

    One of the host keeps interrupting the guest and launching into his own insights or counterpoints. Podcasts are not debates.

  • Old Ken was better

    The original Ken was definitely better. One story with depth. Now it is like any other publication where most stories are very superficial reporting. May be it’s a way to increase readership.

  • Insightful

    Amazing content and some great topics being picked up. Continue your good work. One minor suggestion would be to pick guests who sound differently (voice) as it becomes tough to map who says what while listening. Maybe a single guest would also work well, not meant to tinker with your format.
