This is one of the best long-form conversation podcasts I’ve ever listened to. It’s excellent. I’d recommend it to everyone.
Mishal always does her homework and is an outstanding interviewer. The selection of interviewees seems insightful. The latest with “The Mooch”, someone with strong and intelligent views, is a great example of this. What a wonderful conversation.
Her guests are very extreme lately. This has become an outlet for radical views.
Great analysis.
So much to choose from and each interview different. Loved the Tedros episode, really didn’t know what to expect. There’s politics and humanity all bundled up together. Brilliant.
