I really appreciate the openness and honesty in which John and his guests discuss the subject at hand. One of the tells about how unpretentious this podcast is are the snapshots that accompany each episode. They depict two normal people getting their photo taken and not a Photoshopped Botoxed Posey Posey pair. I find this podcast very interesting and enlightening.
This is such a fantastic podcast. John is one of the best interviewers out there, perfectly gauged, empathetic and intelligent. An essential and enlightening pod
John is such a brilliant interviewer - giving true thought, care and space to each guest. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. No matter what the subject John illuminates the humanity that connects us all. Truly incredible and inspiring listening.
Please don’t be fooled, this isn’t just a comedian trying to interview people.
John is an incredibly talented interviewer in his own right. He puts in the prep to ensure his questions are insightful and interesting.
With his own lived experience, he is also thoughtful and empathetic when discussing mental health struggles.
Just a wonderful podcast.
