Now my favorite podcast

Michael first has a knack for finding provocative authors to talk about their stimulating books. He then draws out the most interesting nuggets from them, invariably making me want to read the book. The breadth of Michael’s knowledge and interests and his ability to lead the authors makes for wonderful discussions.

Michael's interviews are always well researched, thought provoking and interesting.
It is so refreshing to listen to a podcast where you know the interviewer has definitely read, reviewed and fully understands the subject matter and yet allows his guests to shine. Thank you
