  • Unique interviews, talented host

    The host Margarita has a really great interviewing style that makes her episodes flow like a super organic conversation. She has a skill to really listen to the guest, and direct conversations in a very productive manner. I appreciate the unique subjects, from politics to culture, and she even invites controversial guests with whom she disagrees. The conversations are always respectful and immensely informative, and entertaining.
