  • Smart, but Shallow

    Kevin O’Connor clearly knows his stuff, and he can sound sharp and insightful. At least until the latest headline hijacks the show. His views often pivot with whatever’s breaking, leaving little room for context or deeper analysis. Entertaining in bursts, yes, but don’t expect the thoughtful discussion his tone promises.
