Having been an avid fan of Guillermo for several years, I was very pleased to hear this podcast. However, the 'amazing' comment by the presenter after every answer by Guillermo during the Q&A was really annoying...

Women authors - can you try and find some? I think there are some. Can I suggest Margaret Attwood for starters. She's just brought a new book out. thanks

The Guillarmo del Toro q&a session was entertaining but could have been a great insight into the author if the host was less star struck & more objective. Congratulations on getting this session, it could have been "amazing" but not quite.
