Thoughtful & surprising
Few interviewers in the world are as adept & patient with guests as Debbie. She asks beautifully crafted questions and patiently gives her guests the space to answer instead of rushing to the next point. Also her research on guests always uncovers the most interesting little known moments to pull on.
