The compilation really good. The message about the new future format left me with some mixed
feelings. I'm afraid it could get too serious. The moment Eric Tait commented on the lugers joke I
realized what I had missed since he took over: humor and spontaneity. Which, by the way, was no
monopoly of Dan Harlan.
The compilation shows that these elements were the secret
ingredient of the whole Penguin Live history. Now add the anouncement at the end to this insight.
Please, Penguin, do not make the new Live experience even more serious and pre-planned.
Especially in comparison to all online formats out there, none of which ran so long as the
Penguin Live so far, without humor and spontaneity your unique selling point will be gone.
I agree with this advice. The best insights I've ever gotten from Penguin Live lectures have come from jazzing moments, audience questions, and spontaneous insights that only arise from letting your guest lecturer get into the flow.
Good compilation
