Mr. Watford's story is captivating and a must hear. I was very frustrated that the interviewer frequently interrupted stories to save them for "upcoming episodes." It stifled the flow of the story. I'm not all the way through, so I'm hoping that improves as time goes on. I will finish the podcast because Mr. Watford's experiences deserve to be heard, and I find him very engaging.

Great story interrupted by interview style.
