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.
What an interesting, informative and inspiring amalgam of interviews. Everyone goes on about Musk but I strongly believe it’s the ‘magical Mishal mixture’ that does it. From Mark Carney to K-pop and Machado to Musk - a joy (and sometimes also a challenge) to listen to!
So delighted to have Mishal back in my headphones. Really good programme with with interesting quests and a super smart host. Really enjoying it so far and can imagine it will only get better!
