Magnifique!
Leo asks the right questions and he allows his guests to complete their thoughts (unlike some other podcast hosts). Most of all he chooses very interesting people to interview. Absolutely invaluable podcast!
Leo is a great interviewer who manages to attract my attention for people I’d never heard of before but who have clearly meaningful things to say.
Leo Sidran is a truly gifted interviewer and conversationalist. I loved the talk with Daniel Lanois. The long stretch of silence, which some would label “dead air,” when the subject of the death of Lanois’ brother was mentioned, was an unusual gift to the subject and the listeners of the awareness that words aren’t always called for or necessary.
Keep up the good work, I am a professional musician myself now for 50 years but it is always interesting to hear anecdotes from other musicians especially during the last two Covid years.
