“I’d love to learn about the guests but the host is a bad interviewer. The “segments” and “bits” are not useful or entertaining. It’s like he’s pretending to be what he thinks a radio host is instead of just talking to his guests and being curious about their lives.”

“One reason I’ve really love listening is because I love being transported to the High Sierra, or maybe the Wind River Range or the Utah desert, or some Appalachian trail town. I love hearing what hikers think of NM. Keep it up, Doc!”
