The two part interviews however need to end. Just make it one episode. Zero benefit to waiting, and the cut never makes any sense. I’d take less overall episodes without the pointless 2 part format.
Ok guests that’s about it

Guests are the most interesting but that’s about it, the distance formats are a pain because they are constantly talking over them and not always listening to them. Also the new formats they take any chance to plug there merchandise really annoying. I think the show has run its course

Sounds like good guys but they must record from different locations. Awkward lengths of silence combined with everyone talking over each other. Hard to listen at times.
Fantastic!
