Reviews

4.8 out of 5 stars from 58 ratings
  • Great guests; average interviewer

    So many outstanding guests with great stories and wonderful content in general. However, the interviewer has a style that is very disruptive: he presents facts and leaves no room for a thoughtful response. It would be great if he worked on drawing facts out of the interviewee.
