The Louis Theroux Podcast

I’ve been a huge fan of Louis Theroux docs forever. Love his new podcast format, please release more episodes!

In his attempt to be less exploitative of his guests and more caring Louis has lost the thing that made him so watchable. He made his living finding weird people and being near them. He as a normal slightly boring English boy contrasted against his odd guests. A foil to their wild world views. His current format of finding celebrities that are long used to interviews and asking them questions they’ve heard many times before is as you might think boring. It doesn’t work at all. Sorry.

Wonderful pod!

..the hosts interview manner varies so vastly dependent on the guest. I’ve never heard of Jennette McCurdy but was disappointed at how flippant the host was with her (‘oh you’re actually a good actor - I watched your shows this morning’) in comparison to the borderline sycophantic interview with Nick Cave.
