  • How original!

    I take umbrage with some of the guests being classified as “jobbers” because some of them are still A-list within their respective industries, but still worth listening to. Some others will always be A-list in a lot of people’s hearts, and the rest are still fascinating people who have made an indelible impact on their crafts/professions and definitely have a story worth hearing. This is a really great idea and I thank you. Pretty cool.
