Customer Reviews
Fun and informative!
Brandon interviews a cool array of people. He clearly puts a lot of work into his preparation, which makes the resulting interviews both informative and fun. If you're interested in pop culture, especially in the arenas of music and television, you won't be disappointed. This is a new endeavor, so he's still learning as he's going, but it is already so professionally done that I'm looking forward to seeing where this will go in the future! Keep more episodes coming!
Brandon's Buzz's Great Introductions
I love Brandon's introductions. I don't think that I have ever heard introductions that were so well prepared and thought-out. Even the people he interviews almost always comment on his intro of them. While I do enjoy Brandon and his questions, I feel at times that there are pauses that are uncomfortably long between the time that the guest answers the question and the time that Brandon asks another one. Often times the guest is not sure if he/she is still connected and that makes it uncomfortable to listen to the dead air. That is the only negative that I have. The rest of it is extremely positive. Again, I love his intros. I almost always learn more about the person interviewed than I had ever known before. I also love the fact that he has many diffrent genres of guests. Although many are soap actors, which I love, they are not the same ones that everyone interviews, making it more interesting. Gloria Loring, Joan Van Ark, Michael Bruno, just to name a few, were very well done. Thanks, Brandon
