Good podcast lots of interruptions (from em)

2 days ago

Simoncowellfan

I’m sure this feedback might be met with frustration or dismissed, as Em has been vocal about being annoyed when people give this feedback but Em, I feel it’s worth addressing. Having ADHD can be incredibly challenging, and interrupting others is a common symptom. However, it’s important to work on managing this habit. When Christine is mid-sentence, you often interrupt her, and when she tries to finish her thought, you speak louder and faster to ensure your point is made. While occasional interruptions happen, doing so repeatedly can overshadow her contributions, especially when listeners are invested in hearing her perspective. This seems to have been a recurring issue since the start of the podcast, and while Christine may be too kind to bring it up, I hope you’ll take this as an opportunity to reflect and grow. Many of us love the dynamic between you two and want both of your voices to shine equally.

I have tried to listen many times but there is too much rambling and it takes too long to get to the point. I enjoy amusing banter but there is too much of it.
