Louis used to be very invested in his craft. These interviews seem like they’ve barely been prepared for at all. As others have noted, they’re puff pieces where you’ll learn very little at all.
Obviously everything Louis does is incredible. But this is one of the only “let’s interview guests” style podcast where the majority of the guests are half decent. There are so many other podcasts where I love the host but the guests ruin it.
It’s been decades Louis. Enough already.
Only reason I finished it was because of Mike D. Not sure how this guy has a Podcast to be honest.
