    I love Charli xcx and was so excited to listen to her episode. Only made it 20 minutes and had to turn it off. Your questions suck and don’t make sense. You can tell she’s trying to come up with good, interesting conversation but you gave her absolutely nothing to work with. You couldn’t sound less interested in her work. This is the first time I’ve listened to your podcast and I was expecting more. Please put more effort into this omg

  • No Aaron Paul

    I started listening about a year or two ago and have really enjoyed the podcast. I went back through all the interviews and realized they have yet to interview Aaron Paul. Crazy. I really hope to hear him on the podcast soon. I am truly shocked it hasn't happened yet.

    That’s your legacy Will.

    Were you the 9th best person on a great show? Sure.

    But keep hating. I never would have gotten out of bed ever again after losing Amy so I actually give you a lot of credit.

  • What happened to the title?

    Love the show (don’t get me wrong), but I loved when they first started and they interviewed guests that made us smart less/smarter. Now, it only feels like celebrities. Bring back the occasional guest that teaches us a thing or two! 🙏
