My latest Coffee with Kish episode is up: Kish critiques John Dehlin!
https://youtu.be/bnarVdOPcK4
I have been a fan of Mormon Stories from the beginning. In this episode, I share something of my history with John Dehlin and Mormon Stories. Then, I critique something he did recently that I think is an unfortunate tendency on Mormon Stories. It is a great show but not a perfect one by any means.
I hope it turned out well!

I guess there is a law dictating that nothing involving John Dehlin can be over in less than half an hour. It's only a good rule for Margi. Maybe that's why Rosebud was so antsy to take a ride on the Dehlin train.

That's definitely a fair criticism of the video!

Getting my first negative reactions to a video, which was absolutely predictable seeing who the video is about!

Wasn't 4 parts. Wasn't 4 hr long parts. Didn't have a guest you constantly interrupted to restate exactly what the guess just said. Didn't mention your Ph.D.
Still 10/10.

I’m guessing Midgley, kiwi57, the Afore, Jacob Hansen and Stephen Bukkake Smoot all downvoted you?

A small critique if I may? Viewers on YouTube have become accustomed to content providers editing their videos so repetitive pauses, hmms, ahs, uhs, and whatnot don’t slow down the viewing experience. You have good content that’d be helped by some editing that’d keep your content moving along in a concise manner.
Another is if you plan to do this for the long-run, you might as well set up your space that reflects you, your background, and the professionalism you bring to the audience. A nice mic and desk in a room that looks like a podcaster’s studio would help you help us as the viewer want to have Coffee with Kish. Also, a little avatar/logo and opening musical ditty ups your game.

If you’re talking about the length of the podcasts, I think they are kind of long. At the same time, I like that John allows people to tell their full story, which probably does take a long time. I do think that by now, most of the listeners are fully aware of the milestones in the life of a Latter-day Saint, such as the priesthood offices, mission, blessings, temple marriage, etc., and could be edited a bit to shorten them— unless there are special details to mention.
Whenever I read a book about the life of a LDS, it would be nice if I could just skip over having to be taught about Mormonism for the millionth time.
It’s not about me though, is it?
