Customer Reviews
Great podcast, poor host
Rob Kall has some of the most interesting and informative guests on his radio show and podcast. They discuss current and cutting edge subjects of interest to progressives. Mr. Kall unfortunately is not the best interviewer. Certainly he means well, but comes across as unprepared for his interviews and tends to interject oddly misplaced questions and comments instead of letting the speaker complete his or her thoughts. If you can put up with him then is show is well worth the time to hear some really interesting and informative guests.
Great guests but awkward
I have to echo previous reviews. I sampled this show because it kept popping up when doing searches to find material featuring my favorite progressive thinkers. But I have to ask, how does Kall get such great guests with such poor production? He doesn't listen to the guests' answers, or only half-listens. What follows a guest's response is a long awkward silence where he seems to be reviewing scripted questions and then tries to make them sound like follow-ups. Don't get me started on the sound quality. I understand that progressive media does not have the dollars behind it that right-wing productions do but, please! I wanted this to be so much more.
I second the first review
Outstanding guests- a who's who of the left.
But a poor, poor, horrible host. Hopefully you can stomach his odd interjections, the awkward silence, and his apparent unpreparedness for the interview and become informed by the illuminating guests.
The only upside to the host is the faith that he should give to anyone that believes that they too can have a radio show...
