PLEASE STOP OVERTALKING

“FIRST AND FOREMOST: Please — on podcasts you cannot do “active listening” vocal prompts: i.e. “Uh-huh,” “yep,” “yeah,” “oh,” “wow,” “really?” “Unbelievable,” “hmmm,” “ok,” “right,” “absolutely,” “very true,” “exactly,” etc during interviews! Most of this pod’s guests do interviews all the time and know there’s supposed to be silence between your question/commentary, and their answer. It’s fine to interject and build-upon what they’re saying, or redirect — but it’s not only impossible to edit audio where the host constantly over talks the guest, but it’s impossible to listen to when your entire episode is THE interview and clocks an hour or more.
Please — stop overtalking a guest just to say “woooow.” I’m sorry, I really like the hosts at the end of the day, but sometimes I get so frustrated I resent them. Also cutting off guests so the listener can’t hear what they’re saying, just because the host is familiar with it and that’s how they’re used to talking with friends — by INTERRUPTING and OVERTALKING THEM — doesn’t mean you can cut off the listener from hearing. Interviews feel like conversations for the hosts most of the time — not for the listeners to walk away informed, or guests to feel heard. I had to stop listening and write this because the host is either blocking the most important parts from being heard, or saying “uh-huh” or “mmmhmmm” AT LEAST every 3 seconds (at 1.5x speed).
Also, the volume is too loud with the hosts many times — and sometimes one of the hosts yells, and I just have to give-up before I start screaming back. I get this is personal for you, but you should never record an interview while upset and reactive — because we all get repetitive and don’t listen well when we’re in the thick of our feelings. Several episodes at the start of the invasion this happened. At least 6, the guests struggled to keep either host on topic, and often it would devolve into yelling until the interviewee stopped talking. I don’t need to hear 2 or even 3 people yelling over eachother on a podcast!! 2 hosts, 1 guest. Hosts shouldn’t be interrupting eachother either. Please be more professional and think of the listeners first. Otherwise, why do this at all if you don’t care about us being informed or getting anything out of this??”

“Judging from the reviews being left on here, fascists are really upset about this podcast and want to discredit it. That tells you everything you need to know.”
