Mixosaurus ,

Highly skilled interviewer with interesting guests

Thanks, Ben, for your podcast! Always a joy to listen to your interviews which incooperates the general thoughts and ideas of your interviewees as well as questions on their game, work and design philosophies. Well-prepared and excellently executed interviews - really love it! And this is praise from a crumpy and very critical German ;-)
