  • Beyond Egotism

    As a long time listener, it has become so much harder to endure Mr O’Brien’s righteousness, derisiveness, and self-congratulation. The conviction and authenticity of the shows prior to the Brexit vote have been replaced by a demeanor of self-satisfaction and omniscience that is difficult (and disappointing) to hear.

    Loved this so much. Brian used to make me laugh so much when he was on TV and I have always felt huge fondness towards him, he is a great entertainer. Lovely to hear him opening up here and being so honest and learning things I didn’t know about him. Thanks for a great interview.
