Customer Reviews
Great Topics
Great podcast. Been listening since the previous iteration which I also enjoyed very much. Glad to see that they’re continuing on.
I especially enjoy the guests and because of the podcast’s format, you get to hear a lot more about them personally as well as how and why they crafted their massively entertaining stories.
One major caveat: one of the 3 hosts feels the need to cut off guests in the middle of any answer.
As soon as the guest begins to answer a question or bring some interesting topic up, that one host immediately interrupts them and turns it into a discussion about themself (the host), rather than the guest author or the discussion. SUPER ANNOYING. At multiple points I wondered whether it was actually the “One Host Show, featuring The One Host.”
Please address so that the awesomeness doesn’t flame out.
It’s a fun listen
Good pod, I came for the Larry Correia interview and stayed for The Forgotten Ruin author interview and book review. It’s a casual fun chat with good perspectives.
