Hamish is a generous, gently probing host - showing his reporting background. Makes for interesting conversations.

Hamish asks just the right questions, then gets out of the way to let his guest answer with as much depth as they’d like. As a fellow podcast host, I can say that this is one of the hardest skills to learn. Really well done.
Apple Podcasts5guyinhammockUnited States3 years ago - Smart, engaging conversations
My favorite new podcast
Apple Podcasts5Jenny FocaultUnited States3 years ago - thank you!
Please bring in Justin E. H. Smith. Reading his The Internet Is Not What You Think It Is renews my hope for reading. This new podcast too. No actual rating because I've yet to listen in full. But thanks still, thanks, and for Substack itself.
Apple Podcasts5catherinereadsUnited States3 years ago - Fantastic
Such wonderful content and I can’t wait for more episodes! I also love listening to the melodious lilting of the Kiwi accent. Bravo Hamish and Substack!
