Jesse always manages to make interesting and enlightening shows even when I have no idea of who hus guest is. Friendly and funny, always sympathetic and informative.
More magic from Maximum Fun.org
As if dulcet voice and undeniable like-ability of host & creator, Jesse Thorn, weren't enough this show will keep you up to speed with what's current and upcoming in entertainment and celebrates what is too incredible to be forgotten from its past. I smell a Peabody!
Sound of Young America: A must-listen
Jesse Thorn is an exceptional host, he has the ability to make you interested in artists and personalities you haven't heard of before, as well as expose new sides to guests that you are already a f*n of. Thorn walks a fine line between serious interviewer and comic banter-er. Guests always seem to be at ease, which helps them open up for great interviews. No matter who the guest is, the show is always entertaining, or informative, and most of the time it's both. It's a fantastic program and comes highly recommended to anyone who is a f*n of people, things or even just general concepts.
