Customer Reviews
A Walk in the Park!
James Batt does a tremendous job of making people feel comfortable and it comes across in his interviews. As a hotel 'newbie” (only in the industry for a few years) I find the information very valuable. The characters Mr. Batt has chosen to interview are fascinating... I can't wait to hear who is next! I've checked out James Batt's website--he is a classic hotelier who has served queens and worked at some of the most renowned hotels in the world. I can't wait to hear more of this series.
Great Insights
James' insight into the hospitality industry is fantastic. He brings a wealth of information to the table and his commentary (and those of his interviewees) are worth minding. His interview style is engaging and he really captures the essence of the issues. Can't say enough about what a treat this podcast is. Brilliant work Mr. Batt!
