Kyle has such a way with people that I always feel like his questions and conversations are out of sheer curiosity and interest as opposed to just reading off a list. I could listen to him all day.
love that kyle is doing a podcast. really don’t love the fact that the ads breaks are almost 21 minutes worth of the episode. like, i get the money grab, but if you’re gonna put 21 minutes of ads in, you should probably make the episodes a bit longer. i’m so sorry but i don’t think i’ll be listening to any more episodes :(
