This is it??
Here is a perfect example of a perfect concept gone awry. This is a show of occasionally fascinating interviews, consistently interrupted by two guys doing - what is it even?? - a play by play of the interview, I guess. What an ill-advised concept. Instead of letting these people speak for themselves, the two hosts are always breaking up the flow of the stories to essentially sum up what has already been said, and then lamely tease the next bit of a story we are about to hear. This might work for a five or ten minute highlight podcast with several different interview subjects, but it is a horrible format for a nearly hour long show with a single guest. Frankly, it is disrespectful to the guest who has been generous enough to sit in and provide their personal histories. I am unsure for the reason these two guys think they are not only more compelling than their guest, but can tell this person’s own stories in a more interesting way. To be clear: they are neither particularly eloquent speakers, reminiscent often of a middle school news program, nor are they as clever as they believe themselves to be. The result is often painful.

The two also work well together, with Chip providing funny comedy without being annoying. I subscribed. Now we need...Read full review »

This is a weird comparison but this show makes me feel a little bit like Great British Baking Show... the hosts are pleasantly silly, but also smart and very positive; and the guests are interesting even when I don’t know their work. I highly recommend this show!
