  • Condescending 78-year-old interviewer

    David Marr’s interview with Chris Hedges on 21 October is a worthwhile listen. It can’t be unheard.

    If you like what Marr is doing in the interview, then keep on listening to this podcast.

    On the other hand, if you occasionally listen to Marr and find his interview approach somewhat exasperating, then his interview with Hedges is definitely worth the listen. It is so excruciatingly bad.

    Listening to the interview has been very validating. It’s unfortunate Marr has dropped to such lows.
