“The interviews are great - seriously wonderful and inspiring. But the opening chitchat with the hosts can be distracting. The weekly personal updates is a new fad with a lot of podcasts that is quickly becoming off-putting. While those discussions allow listeners get to know the hosts, it often detracts from the promise of the premise. I find the personal talk more beneficial at the end of the podcast. That way those who want connection can stick around and listen to the the hosts, while those who are looking for the educational part can go along their merry way, happily inspired. It’s a hard balance to walk, connecting vs entertaining/teaching. Many podcasts have lost sight of why they started their shows and why listeners followed them in the first place. I would like the banter to stay, but maybe be shortened up front or moved to the closing thoughts. This is only a suggestion - it’s your baby to do with as you please.”
