United Statesa month ago - Great interviewers facilitate and ask beautiful questions
John would be so effective if he talked less and spent less time showing off all he knows and let the guest be the star and excavate what they have to say. Fewer words. Better questions. We know you are well read John. You
don’t have to show it off in every appearance or interview. The guests are great. Let them
Be great and share more air.

Apple Podcasts5Lindy607United Statesa month ago - Great Show, Bad Episode
Love JHeil, but the episode with Josh Steiner was a total waste of time. Pompous, ponderous preppie tediously talked about a big nothingburger with no real insight. JHeil no doubt doing an old pal a solid to flog a soggy book. Just avoid.
Apple Podcasts5Big dog 1987United Statesa month ago - Not reporting what should be reported
I’ve been following you for many years. You’re my number one go to Guy for reality. My question to you is why does the mainstream media not want to cover the JFK assassination? You must admit it’s a rather fascinating murder mystery to say the least. It would be nice to see you take it on seriously because there’s so much more to it. The future was changed on November 22, 1963.
