Reviews
- Incredibly Informative Interviews
I've long loved Jesse Thorn's unabashed fandom and enthusiasm for his interview subjects on Bullseye. Here, Jesse brings that air and professional curiousity for his craft to this podcast. It's equal parts a revelatory search for what makes the titans of the form good at their jobs, but also a warm and personalized look at how varied these people treat their subjects and end products. I'm never going to be a radio or podcast personality, but I loved every minute of this show. more

Insightful and tremendously entertaining for anyone, not just those who do interviewing.

I just started a new podcast and have gotten TONS of value and encouragement out of these interviews. I often listen to episodes on my way to see a guest, or when I've had waves of feeling discouraged. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Apple Podcasts5JasonBlissUnited States3 years ago - Terrific Guests Make This Show Invaluable to Podcast Interviewers
Whether you like or dislike show host Jesse Thorne, (see other reviews for the pros and cons about him), you can’t fault his choice of guests for this limited series about the art of interviewing. You’ll find the expected big names (Ira Glass, Terry Gross, March Mohan), and unexpected choices, too, like Werner Herzog. more
Apple Podcasts4Mac PrichardUnited States4 years ago If you strive to be a better interviewer, this podcast is a virtual master class. Every episode features a stellar interviewer and Jesse Thorn does well to bring out their unique approaches and craft. Indeed, nobody is born a world class interviewer so it requires putting in many hours to develop one's own style. Ira Glass, Marc Maron, Audie Cornish, Larry King, Anna Sale, Terry Gross, Katie Couric... this is really good stuff. They say that you should always leave your audience wanting more. Br... more
