Good podcast topic...host not so much
I had high hopes for this podcast, and some of the initial episodes were good. I love the idea behind the podcast, but after the last few I have unsubscribed because I couldn't stand to listen to it anymore. In particular host Kara Swisher, who has a bad habit of talking over the guests and her co-host. They can't even finish a sentence without her interjecting her opinion. I would love them to be able to finish their discussions without her snarky comments. I like snark, but hers is too much. There is a very fine line between assertive and rude, and she crosses it every show. Sadly this show is an example of a good podcast ruined by bad hosting.Read full review »

Generally like the show but...the latest episode grated. The personal chemistry mostly works, but a little less of KS as the subject for discussion is better. We don't need another personality cult...honest!
