Why Shouldn't Activists Have to Compete?
The opening section could use some improvement to actual discussion. Really the whole podcast could use more emphasis on discussion. A lot of times it is monologue, your monologue, 3rd person monologue. Okay guys controversy or not? Thumbs up or thumbs down? Seriously Allysa's went on for 5 minutes, maybe longer uninterrupted today. Great points but not really a good structure for your show IMO. Lover your shows, but getting to the point where I could just read your 3 essays and get the same thing.
Have to agree with Richard here, it was really strange to have one person talking for over eight minutes straight without interruption. I'm sure you all will come to a good flow over what will hopefully be many, many more shows. Thanks for all the great content!
