Customer Reviews
Informative
This podcast is pretty good, it covers a wide variety of topics but my only issue is that it’s a majority male guests. I’d love to see more diversity with female/non binary guests
Guests are interesting, host not so much
This podcast brings to light a lot of highly qualified guests who have valuable ideas to discuss. Sometimes the host struggles to grasp the concept in order to engage fully. I sometimes need to skip sections in order to manage my annoyance, but maybe the juxtaposition can be helpful for others.
Painful
What a waste of Dr. Richard Schwartz’s time. Is this podcast about learning from the interviewee and being curious about his research or about making your own plugs, forcing unnecessary “connections” or disconnections, and clearly misunderstanding this work out loud? Did the interviewer read and sit with any of his 40 years of work or do any background research ahead of time? Where were you going with this interview and what was your point? It felt like you brought on a guest you weren’t actually listening to and instead were trying to mansplain his research to him. Why continue to make extended connections to this work when you do not seem to understand or seem to really be interested in actually understanding his model. Maybe if you could step out of your own work that you keep referencing it would help. A better interview guide with a story arc would also help—this was all over the place.
