Customer Reviews
Great show
I love this show and Robert’s guests and his vast knowledge.
But please let us hear the guests’ voice before 30 seconds elapses.
Please Bob, make a rule to let your guest at least say HELLO to your listeners before you speak for 10 minutes.
Let Your Guests Speak
Been a steady listener for going on six years. Used to be a must-listen every week.
However, the host speaks too much. He doesn't seem to want to hear what his guests have to say.
For the love of God, Bob, let your guests speak.
