It’s frustrating that you don’t respond to anything the guest says. After the guest speaks you say, “yea.. yea.. sure… right… interesting..” then simply ask the next question on your list. A good host actually engages with his guest, expands on the responses, challneges them. Have an actual discussion. It’s clear you just have a list of questions and you’re not even paying attention to what the guest says.
Thanks Bradford, yeah this was one of my earlier episodes, I’ve definitely changed that in my more recent episodes
