  • Delaney Buffett

    Really loved the interview with Delaney. Paul asked excellent and intriguing questions and Delaney was very open and candid. Refreshing in the day of everyone thinking they can do a podcast to find one that has a host as professional as Paul Leslie. He really seemed to have done his homework. Will definitely listen to more!

  • Great!

    Paul is a consummate interviewer and can make anybody interesting with his style of questions. He happens to choose people who are already interesting (super famous or more obscure) and really ties it all together in a unique way. I’ll be listening!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#1,112 - Dean Pitchford
Q: What does it feel like when a project finally lands with a major artist or a film, like Whitney Houston or Barbra Streisand?
Dean emphasizes the emotional reward of hard-won breakthroughs—meeting the artist, hearing the song come alive with the performer, and seeing the audience connect; he highlights the sense of validation when the right voice brings a song to life.
#1,112 - Dean Pitchford
Q: What was it like working with Tom Snow, and how did that collaboration influence your career?
He explains how their collaboration started with a dinner party meeting, then grew into a dynamic process where melodies and lyrics flowed back and forth, allowing him to craft songs that fit both Broadway and pop contexts, such as moves that led to Footloose and Let's Hear It for the Boy.
#1,112 - Dean Pitchford
Q: You've written so many different things—from books and screenplays to songs. Would you say writing is innate or something you hone over time?
Dean describes it as both: a foundation built from early exposure to music and literature, plus a rigorous, disciplined approach to craft—writing consistently, revising, and collaborating to shape a song for others to perform, not just for himself.
#1,110 - Hoagy Bix Carmichael
Q: What can people learn from Hoagy Carmichael about creativity and legacy?
Hoagy emphasizes balancing reverence for his father with pursuing one's own path, highlighting that creativity often thrives when individuals pursue their own interests (like golf and fly fishing) while also contributing to a larger musical legacy.
#1,109 - Ann Coulter
Q: Which network and show would you pick if all three queried you to appear right now?
MSNBC, because it provides a platform where I can engage in substantial discussion and challenge perspectives in real time.
