- Good interviewer
Although I don’t always agree with the guest or their views I find this is deffo one of my go to interview talk podcasts. Good is a great interviewer and seems well informed. Led me down a few rabbit holes after listening.

United Kingdom6 days ago - Always interesting
I may not always agree with Andrew’s guests views , topics etc but the interviews themselves are always interesting and make you view another side at times . Andrew himself is very easy to listen too and treats his quests fairy (even if you can tell he thinks some things are balmy )
Apple Podcasts5Sandsy1979United Kingdom7 days ago - I don’t find time to listen to other podcasts now
I don’t think there’s been a subject I’ve not been interested in since I started listening.
Apple Podcasts5JockRuskyUnited Kingdom7 days ago - My weekly fix
Like the relaxed interview technique as the guest is allowed to talk. Other podcasts are more about the presenters but not with Andrew. Interesting mix of topics
Apple Podcasts5Whiskey mammaUnited Kingdom8 days ago - Great Podcast
I don’t agree with all the guests, and some of their theories are bizarre to say the least, but isn’t that the point? We can’t agree with everyone but we listen to them and have a constructive discussion in a respectful way. Andrew’s interview style is really good and you keep listening.
