Review of The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss - Interrupts

The Origins Podcast with Lawrence Krauss

Interrupts his guests

☆

“I like Lawrence Krauss because he is a smart theoretical physicist. But I just can’t listen to his show anymore. I understand that interjections are a normal part of conversation when you talk to your friends, with an occasional “uh-huh” to show that you are listening, understand, and/or agree with your friend. Lawrence does it so frequently that it’s absolutely distracting; especially on a podcast when you’re trying to pay attention to what his guests are saying. This guy is constantly saying “um-um-yeah-yeah-uh-huh-uh-huh”. Sometimes he literally talks over his guest and makes complete sentences so that I have a hard time hearing what either are saying. He also outright interrupts his guests frequently and side-tracks the conversation with trivial tangents. I want to say “You have brilliant guests saying really enlightening stuff... let them speak!” I can’t believe that with around SIX producers on the show, not one of them have pointed out that this minor flaw is keeping this podcast from the professional caliber of NPR or Joe Rogan. Please remember: podcasts are not just about content. Presentation can make all the difference.”
