Customer Reviews
Mansplaining central
I really like this pod but holy cow does Jeff know that he just plows over Rebecca 99% of the time? I don’t know how Rebecca puts up with it. This man just talks over her constantly. Like just blatantly and aggressively. It’s genuinely wild.
Reign it in Jeff
Jeff! Shut up and let Rebecca talk! You’re rudeness by constantly interrupting her makes listening to this podcast very unpleasant.
Do the hosts read these reviews?
Jeff. Please stop interrupting Rebecca. She has important things to say. Slow down and let her speak! I love the content of this show but it’s way too annoying to listen to Jeff for 90% of the podcast. Could we get a different host or rotate Jeff out every other week or something? I’d love to hear more of Rebecca’s thoughts.
