- Great guests, let them talk
I give five stars for the interesting guests from a variety of backgrounds - many of whom I have only heard on this show, despite all their achievements and insights. But I minus one star for McNally's obnoxious way of constantly and unnecessarily interrupting them, which often disrupts the guest's train of thought and the flow of the discussion.

Apple Podcasts5VinodoleUnited States14 years ago - Terrific
It's a great podcast. Well thought out interviews. This podcast will give Fresh Air a run for their money. Pleasant to listen to. It's not a round table discussion of 6 people all trying to talk at once or a bunch of unnecessary noise and sound effects. It's entertaining, to the point, and informative. Easy to listen to.
