“I really want to give five stars, but this one bad habit is SENDING me: Over talking the guest! Samia will ask a question and then talk incessantly, hardly (if ever) giving the guest an opportunity to answer or chime in. We want to hear from them as well, especially when discussing their experiences or expertise. She brings on amazing Thought Leaders, but robs them of their chance to share their thoughts. The continuous overtalk makes the listening experience quite aggravating. Inviting impressive & influential guests to the podcast loses its value when their perspectives are drowned out by constant overtalk, it defeats the purpose of having diverse conversation. If dominating the conversation and being a verbal monopolist is your intent, then a solo podcast might be the most ideal platform. If not, please pass the verbal baton. I pray to see growth and that this is received with love. Looking forward to hearing a more balanced conversation! Thank you for your vulnerability, transparency, and creating a safe place for TABOO/UNCOMFORTABLE/TRAUMATIC conversations (especially for BLACK WOMEN π€)!”
