How does this immature, giggly little man manage to onboard some incredible guests when he has no ability as an interviewer whatsoever?
Awesome podcast, love David
If he’d only interviewed Nick Yarris and Andy King I’d be rating this 5 stars! David never fails to surprise with great guests, thought-provoking discussion and his own vulnerability. Highly recommended!
David attracts some impressive guests and even though the topics he discuss are hard-hitting, interjections of humour and wit make these podcasts a very easy listen. I love them!
This is an great podcast with a mixture of interesting people and insightful questions from the host, who skilfully asks the right questions to stimulate some great conversation and discussion. Thanks David and keep up the good work.
