“I originally gave this podcast 5 stars and a rave review (I mentioned in the old review that my son was 2 months old; he’s now 1.5 years old), but I can hardly listen now. There’s so much interrupting from Joe and long examples that fail to illustrate Anea’s actual “point” because he didn’t finish letting her make it! This happens often. I’m saddened by how often Anea is cut off, since she’s the one that offers the most valuable input. This isn’t to say that Joe offers no value. He does illustrate and sum up points effectively, but there is way to much not-so-funny interjections that result in a complete loss of whatever Anea was going to say. They never seem to circle back after the interruption.
Also, they recently had a guest on the show (“Who Changed Math?”), and they both constantly interrupted him for quips and input that wasn’t needed. For a show that talks about respecting other’s beliefs, inputs, etc. they didn’t do that with this guy. He would be on the cusp of making an interesting point and then a rude interruption forced him to “mmhmm mmhmm” for 3 minutes while his valuable input was buried under non-substantive “stuff.”
In sum, this show has great things to offer. But I’m estimating that there’s a total of, gosh, 7 minutes per episode of valuable, thoughtful, interesting information. The rest of the time is full of ads, quips, and interruptions. I used to love this show a lot, but I’m getting tired of it.”
