Apple Podcasts2emelksUnited States2 months ago - Restating everything not helping.
The main host has a habit of restating a lot of what guests say, which is unnecessary and bothersome. Sometimes the host is wrong so the guest has to (politely) correct her. The approach also distracts from information the guest presents, interrupting the flow. Worst, the restatements are super simplistic — like the host thinks listeners can only understand the information if it’s broken down into bite-size, way-oversimplified pieces. We can follow just fine. If the host doesn’t understand somet... more
