Customer Reviews
Easy 5⭐️
Thank you VC and Annie for the awesome interviews!
Love Vince but Annie has to stop trying too hard
I love the guests that you have on the show and Vince is great, miss Kent! I understand the importance of having Annie on the show to help with the intros, segways, keeping the questions and conversation going, which Annie does a good job of that. BUT Annie please stick with your strengths and don’t try too hard. It is good that you are doing your homework and learning about the guests which is very important. But stop making old jokes about Vince please! Don’t talk about stuff that your are not an expert about. I listen to a lot of basketball podcasts and understand the importance of having a NBA player as the host because the guests feel more comfortable sharing. But if Annie continues to be annoying, this will not allow guests to be more forthcoming about their experiences. That is the great thing about the NBA is that the players are more personable and draws in fans by getting to know them. Podcasts are another medium to learn about the NBA star but also realize that they are human beings too. Keep up the good work, Annie you have a lot of potential! ** I binged listened and have caught up!! Annie you have improved and you are doing a great job as a host and moderator! Keep the great work! You are becoming more knowledgeable about basketball and you are sticking to your strengths**. Will continue to listen to!!
