justin thomas kay ,

best interviews

ncb is the best interviewer in the game. mainly because has participated directly, not just observed. he brings his own knowledge to the table that helps him get the best out of his guests. can’t recommend this show enough.

This is by far one of the most thoughtful, inspiring, and insightful podcasts I have ever listened to. For anyone interested in music, entrepreneurship, fashion, pop culture or more - this show is both the ultimate entertainer and informer. The host, Noah, has one of the most unique and diverse perspectives on culture - and when that is coupled with bringing in some of the most influential and ground breaking guests on the planet — it makes for podcast magic.✨
