    Brilliant, interesting, inspiring, provocative, independent thought, out-of-the-box just the right amount, and entertaining enough without going into silliness.

  • Let the guests talk

    Jim has really interesting people on but he talks far more than they do. Sometimes he barely let's them get more than a couple words in before starting another monologue.
