  • Works when…

    …the interviewer gets out of the way, stops pushing Indy Pass and just lets these legends talk.

  • Outrageously high quality

    The interviewers here are just outrageously high in quality. This will make you realize a lot of other podcasts are just talking/creating content. The prep work, interview caliber, polish and flow are top notch. Not softball questions but thoughtful interviews with good guests. I’m blown away.
