Could be better
I’m a fan of Emma Montgomery so I wanted to listen to this podcast for the first time to hear that episode. While listening, I found that the host interrupts her guest CONSTANTLY. It’s rude, distracting, and made it hard to listen to. Not interested in following this podcast after listening to this episode
