United States3 years ago - Great conversations
This podcast provides a richer context for the books I’ve read. Really great and deep discussions without being pretentious. Really well done
Apple Podcasts5mcgolisUnited States4 years ago - Great insights into authors' ideas, views and books
If you are into non-fiction books, this podcast is a cool, insightful and fun way to discover new works and authors, or rediscover old ones (I so enjoyed a recent episode with Oliver Stone). From big pharma to brains to the cosmos to amazing power of the sea, Trey covers a broad range of topics in an engaging way and hearing the authors explain their ideas, motivations etc is a real treat. Catch an episode with an author or topic of interest and chances are you'll be back for more.

I just discovered this pod and glad I did. Fascinating how EVIL the Sacklers are and the phrase “ The man who drugged the WORLD”
Popped into my head when Gerald Posner told us about how Arthur Sackler made Valium the #1 drug for a record 15 yrs with deceptive marketing. Now to explore more episodes 👍👍

Trey is a master of interviews and has a knack for sourcing incredibly good content. I listened to him often on his Austin sports radio show and was always very impressed with his interviews and who he was able to bring on the show. He’s well prepared and asks really good questions on the fly. I can sense from the interviewees that they’re impressed with his questions. It’s absolutely worth giving it a shot.

Trey excels at egoless interviewing. Clean, concise, smart questions that allow the authors to highlight their intent and real thoughts absent Elling injecting any agenda. This is substantive, meaningful conversation at its best.
