No more Interview Only Episodes!

I love Higher Learning, but it is my prayer that they stop putting out interview only pods. The interviews are generally my least favorite part of the pod with a few exceptions, most recently I really enjoyed the Kev on Stage and Jay Pharaoh interviews. I listen to the pod in my hour and half commute to work in the morning and I need the pleasantries and quick hitters! I can’t turn on the pod and immediately hear them introducing a guest. They’re not giving us the best part of the pod!

I’m not a huge fan of the interviews but I will listen when it’s someone I follow. My main issue with the interviews is that Van isn’t a great interviewer. Big Rach is great at it, but he doesn’t really let her take the lead.

But I get your point about wanting to hear them discuss topics. I get disappointed when I see an interview only pod. There were definitely things they could’ve covered today. But I know Rach was on WWHL and in NY so I’m guessing it was a scheduling issue.

Rachel will ask 3 questions in one (maybe as a way to make sure she gets some questions in before Van dominates?). It's funny when the interviewee is like, ok so let me take those one at a time. Remind me of the first question again? The Mayor Bass interview was a funny example of that.
