Burnett Is a Problem
Sterling Burnett is a smart guy but his interview skills, while much better than when he started, are still weak. He speaks too fast. He mumbles or drops his volume as he asks questions and speaks making it difficult to understand him. As do so many interviewers these days, he interrupts his interviewees after he asks them questions, asks a simple question then adds a longer question and provides his own answer to the question before allowing his interlocutor to answer the initial question, and often pontificates about the subject at hand rather than allowing the interviewee to answer. I listen to these podcasts to listen to the expert or scientist, not Sterling. If Sterling wants to express his opinions or his expertise, he should host a solo show without a guest or have a guest but frame the episode as a conversation between equals. The podcasts always provide good, useful, educational information. The interviewer gets in the way, though. 4 stars for the podcast (there is always room for improvement). 2 stars for Sterling’s interview technique.
