Chris is the Man (Sorry Becks)

It is an absolute pleasure to get an insight into the lives of my childhood heroes through Chris’ questions. I am a huge pro-wrestling fan and Chris picks the best questions for all his guests. You’ve always replied to me on TikTok, which I don’t expect, but since you take time out of your day for a like, I’ll take time for a post. Amazing work Chris, do not stop!

My favorite podcast!

CVV is a consummate professional and an amazing host. It feels wrong to use the word “interviews”, so I’ll say his “conversations” with all of guests are amazing! His questions are thoughtful and often initiate a very ‘insight’ful conversation😉. Love listening while I’m driving. Thanks Chris for keeping us entertained and keep up the amazing work!
