Great guests , painful interviewing

I unsubscribed from this as I got frustrated with the hosts constantly talking over the guests but thought I’d give it a second chance given the quality of those guests.

Unfortunately the host hasn’t learnt anything since the last time I listened as he continues to talk over guests with a constant stream of interruptions and unnecessary “yeah yeahs”.

I don’t know if it’s a nervous thing or a desire to hear his own voice but either way it’s really jarring and unprofessional.

Unfortunate as there’s some amazing guests but it’s painful to listen to such poor interviewing.

Good stuff

Loads of people will be interested in these, I’d just be careful not to talk over each other as I often gets hard to hear who is saying what. Other than that keep up the good work!
