“I used to devour every episode of risk. Weekly since 2014. Now I pick and choose. It’s less risky storytelling these days- storytellers seem afraid to be honest and Kevin seems to feel the need to give warnings or fret over the morality of the storytellers… or worse yet, to pitch life coaching. I’m here for messiness, not perfection. The moral ambiguity lead to curiosity and introspection and appreciation for complexity and that was the amazing thing about this show. This change probably has to do with our current political climate more than the show and isn’t really the shows fault.
One other constructive critique- the “interview style” stories are really hard to listen to because of Kevin’s constant interjections “mm!” “Mmhmm!” “Oh yeah!”. I skip every interview style episode. This style is new and is not representative of the show. If you go back to 2014-2019 you’ll get to the good stuff :)
But the foundation and spirit is still there and I love Kevin’s heart. I hope the show gets back to its roots soon and that their financial issues resolve so we can focus on the stories.”
