    Great show BUT...

    Why do you have the background music louder than their voices? It's very hard to listen to them talk with the music blasting. Very annoying because it's a great show. I can't watch it. I need the volume up to hear them talk but the music is too loud. It's like I'm watching a tv show while a musical show is going on at the same time. I'm trying to follow along but when there's a distraction like that it's hard to pay attention. Most shows have background music but majority you can't notice it as much so it makes it more easier to hear people speak. I hope this gets to the right people and they fix it.

    Great show ruined by annoying host

    Fascinating series, but terrible host. Simon repeatedly talks over his guest writers and subject matter experts, as if desperate to prove how clever he is and how much he knows about the subject he's supposedly invited them to speak about. I can't stand the way he constantly interrupts them to interject his own theories, or cuts them off to take the conversation in a different direction. I dont know if he's just so ADHD he can't concentrate on anything for more than 5 seconds, or just rude, arrogant and loves the sound of his own voice. But god, is he annoying. I don't know how all these (often far more successful) authors put up with him being such a know it all. Perhaps he just suffers from an inferiority complex and is trying to prove himself. Not surprised it only lasted 2 series. They probably ran out of authors who'd agree to talk to him.
