Speaking of bad radio, 960 was playing a Krahn sitdown with Vernon. I guess what I heard was part 2. That was embarrassingly bad, Krahn saying he was a huge Vernon fan but then had to ask who they played in the various rounds 89. In general, he showed zero preparation and could not talk in complete sentences.
It sort of highlights just how much work goes into being a radio/podcast host and interviewer, when I feel these people often aren't given any or enough credit for their craft and ability. To be good, you need to take the time and research, but also when you're inexperienced, take the time to practice and rehearse. It's clear which people (hosts or non-hosts) on Barnburner are newer to talking for more than 2 minutes whenever they're on as their conversations, etc. are awkward, unlike when it's Boomer or Cammy.
