Keep the Channel Open

This is my favorite interview podcast. I have encountered so much new art and so many new perspectives from listening to this compassionate and introspective series.

It’s rare that people really prepare for interviews, and it’s rare that people are both incredibly smart and incredibly generous, and so it’s only right to say that this is a rare show on several counts.

I've been reading Mike's tinyletter for a whiel now and then learned about his podcast. Mike's interview with Celeste Ng got me hooked. He knows the art of thoughtful conversation and better yet, knows how to listen so that we get insights not just on craft but on life from artists we admire or just discovered. This is great. I don't listen to many podcasts but I'm adding this one.

As the host of a podcast myself, I always gravitate toward other literary and arts shows where the host likes to grapple with questions of craft, and where you can feel the host has a facility at establishing rapport with their guests. Look no further than Keep the Channel Open.
