This is such a wonderful change from many U.S. anchors\/newscasters that seem more interested in hearing their own voices, than allowing their interviewees time to answer the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andi gets out of the way and I LOVE that.  He has been criticized in comments for not being &#8220;emotive&#8221; enough.  HAH!  I am guessing that the critics are fellow Americans.  I have the opposite view and am so grateful that he acts like a REAL journalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BUT, he does share in the joy of circumstance &#8230; reaction to many guests and comments and in particular to Pip Hare and her perfomance.  And my favorite guests:  Marcus Hutchison (Thursday) and Mike Golding (various appearances and a 4 time Vendee participant).  And honestly, every single guest on Vendee Live has contributed to my understanding of the race as well as been insightful in life metaphors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, have YOU NOT yet been entranced?  So sorry if not.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vendee Globe is so much more than a sailing race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/FansofAndi8391.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/FansofAndi8391.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/FansofAndi8391-300x281.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/FansofAndi8391-150x141.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/FansofAndi8391-768x720.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/FansofAndi8391-43x40.jpg 43w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But as for Auggie and me &#8230; we LOVE Andi Robertson and we LOVE Vendee Globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andi Robertson is the presenter of the Vendee Live YouTube that I have been watching daily since the November 8 start of the Vendee Globe.
