Irritating Host

“I have been listening to The Mac Observer’s Daily Observations podcast since the days of Ricky Spiro. When Jeff Gamet left I was very sad for myself but happy for Jeff. I have continued to listen to this podcast since the addition of Kelly Guimont but it is not at all easy. Kelly is obviously technologically knowledgeable but this is offset by her multiple shortcomings. Her delivery consists of erratic speech patterns interspersed with laughter where laughter is not called for, like those individuals who pepper their communications with inappropriate “lol”s. Her opening “Howdy do buckaroos” makes no sense in a tech podcast. I really think that in her ending admonition to “Be Excellent” she thinks “Like Me!”. Kelly seems way too impressed with herself to the extent that one can easily see her saying, “Mirror, mirror on the wall whose the smartest and coolest of all. I am!” Her ego is also reflected in the way she refers to elected officials as “My congressman” as if she is on a first name basis with them. She also seems to think that because she is technically knowledgeable it also makes her super cool. She is neither super cool nor cool outside of tech.
The shining light in this podcast is Andrew Orr. Andrew is very knowledgeable and a joy to listen to. He comes across as one of those persons who is very intelligent but humble and slightly shy.
Listen for the good information and hopefully Dave Hamilton can find a replacement for Kelly. Thank you to the other reviewers who let me know that I am not the only one who finds most of Kelly’s delivery as pleasant as walking with cut feet in a pool of alcohol. I will continue to suffer through Kelly as long as I can stand it in part because of the many other great things that The Mac Observer gets right.
12/08/18 TMO has chosen to ignore Kelly G's negative ratings so I have stopped listening to this podcast until they find another host like Andre Orr. Also why the frequent appearances of Charlotte Henry? She doesn't really add much if anything. I will continue to check periodically to see if Kelly Guimont is still hosting. If she is dropped I will start listening again unless she is replaced by Charlotte Henry.”Read full review »

“I was away for almost a year and came back to see how things were going. Nothing changed. Goodbye giggling buckaroo. This is becoming too distracting (giggles)”
