The whole New Books Network needs to find brisk and engaging interviewers. I’ll skim the topics to look for interesting books, but I don’t listen anymore.
Interesting stories; however, the interviewer is boring and many of the story tellers are also boring in their telling of these stories. His does this happen?
The podcast’s concept is interesting, but the execution is hard to like. There are frequent audio challenges. In addition, many of the authors write much better than they speak.
