The Tangle with Kyle Ridley

Kyle

I’m Kyle, a former morning show producer who spent a decade researching and booking guests, and prepping my anchors to interview them. Of course, there’s only so much that can be said in a 5-minute TV segment, and so many questions go unasked.


Now I’m away from the control room and ready to take the mic, speaking with those who fascinate, inspire and challenge me. And the best part: there’s no commercial to cut to when we the dish gets good!


I’ll be joined by my best friends and some special guests you might know along the way. We’re diving in deep and swimming in the shallow, so there’s something for everyone. Join me as we rant, rave and ramble through the tangled webs of life, love, loss and so much more!
