  • I interview for a living and I love this

    Peter Eyers has a warm, engaging manner that brings out the best in his guests - great stories, great conversations. I’m not in the industry - I’m a psychotherapist - but as an outsider it’s fascinating to hear how the creativity behind great performances works. Peter draws this out beautifully time and time again. Bravo Mr Eyers!
