Reversed my starting impression of both as a first time listener: Mishal seems smug, slinging sympathetic condescension to get under the guest’s skin. Didn’t know the Mooch is surprisingly well rounded and sincere
The perfect weekend listen to understand the world
An interview podcast of the highest quality by the best in the business. The array of voices and perspectives can’t be found anywhere else.
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.
