Wish the host would let the guests speak more

“I really want to like this podcast. The productivity nuggets and gems are there, and I appreciate that. The host brings on amazing guests on the show. HOWEVER, instead of making the most of the special guests he interviews, the host spends a lot of airtime elevating his own thoughts and his own opinions. In interviewing guests, the host often talks way too much, finds ways to point everything back to himself, and oftentimes cuts off the very people he interviews while they are trying to answer his questions.
I understand that it is his show and he should be able to talk about whatever he wants. But why bring on the guests then if he would rather hijack the time to point things back to himself? I feel like I have to literally ENDURE the host in order *try* to hear what nuggets of wisdom the guest he brings on is trying to share.
This podcast could be so much better. It has lots of potential if the host would just stop trying to take center stage during his interviews. Sure, if he has lots of opinions then don’t bring on a guest and just do a solo conversation…that would be fine. But if you bring on a guest, let’s give them the stage so they can truly explain and share without constantly being interrupted.
Plus, do all the interview questions have to be so nuanced, complicated, and slanted? How about just ask them straight up cut-to-the chase questions?”

“This podcast seems to be about the host and ways in which his guests can reflect on him. One hears a great deal about his successful strategies... And what do you think of my successful strategies?
I would have preferred to hear more from the professionals being interviewed.”
