Customer Reviews
Great show
A really great show. Love the in-depth take on things. Great stuff Dave. And the guests are brilliant. Gets one thinking.
Interviewer needs a lot of work on affective and tonal range
Tried listening to the Sirota episode. The interviewer is either monotone or ends his? Statements with? An upward querulousness? Which is infuriating. Needs to work a lot on his delivery and ability to engage the subject - and listener.
Stuff
David really knows his stuff , turned me on to so many books . Thanks so much . Jamie .
