Pretentious in an unnecessary way
While I find the stories that are presented here to be interesting and engaging, the self-aggrandizing attitude of the hosts can overwhelm the sincerity of the people who have taken the time to share their stories.

Please, let the stories speak for themselves. Your efforts to insert yourselves into the stories are unwanted and unnecessary.
