Comments from...

I was about two episodes in and really enjoying this podcast until I listened to a particular episode where the host corrected speech from the interviewee. The reaction from the individual made it clear they were uncomfortable, and it upset me deeply. I enjoy free form talk shows, where the host does not create a constricting environment.
