  • Eugene takes away from what can be a good podcast

    Big fan of Trevor but Eugene distracts him and they start making excessive jokes interrupting their guest. The focus should be on the guest. Trevor is such a great interviewer but I find that having Eugene there really affects the podcast negatively. It’s disappointing.

  • Less Banter, More Real Talk!

    Love these guys and the interviews, but often the banter and interruptive jokes are so obnoxious they ruin it... how more more respect for your guests and listeners: more interview, less side bar!

  • 2 minutes of in show advert

    The show is great , but he’s chosen to do in show advertisements that I have to forward to. 2 minutes before I can get to the audio. How hypocritical given the context of ensh-fication of everything.

  • Amazing at first, challenging now

    I’ve loved Trevor Noah since his book, throughout his interviews on TDS, and in every one of his comedy tours. He’s a thoughtful and excellent interviewer. He listens. He asks interesting and introspective questions. And his worldview lends to perspectives that most podcast and TV hosts do not share. When Christina and Josh left, though, things significantly changed. I wish Trevor would conduct his interviews solo and leave Eugene for non interview podcasts. I cannot listen to the podcasts with... more
