“This could be the best NBA podcast, and I hope it gets there. Reddish has unbelievable access to players, great perspective as player, and cares about the stuff that fans really want to hear about. And he is very smart. Kudos to him for doing this.
I just wish he were a better interviewer. He clearly prepares, but he needs to get out of his guests' way. His questions are far too long winded--just be brief and let the guest speak. If you time them, he speaks 50% or more on every podcast. That should be more like 10-20% him (since we hear him every week) and more of the guest.
He regularly cuts off his guests. For example, Spencer Hawes tried to talk about the Revenant, but JJ didn't let him. Other guys try to get a comment in, but JJ talks over them. It might be that he has prepared so much that he is focused on his agenda for the day, and doesn't let the guest's ideas really unfold. Hopefully, that'll change as JJ gets more comfortable.
I really hope he works this out. I would love to come back and rate this 5 stars. Just let the guests talk more!”
