Improved interviewing since inception

I’ve been listening since first episode and agree with the interruptions breaking the flow of conversation, but I also enjoyed the ease and sense of camaraderie. Just listened to two most recent interviews back-to-back and found the topics and host/interviewee thoroughly informative and engaging. I like the interjection of personal stories.

Entertaining & erudite

I never thought I’d become so mesmerized by espionage, intelligence gathering, the Cold War, diplomacy, and everything in between before picking up this podcast. There has been a wide variety of interview subjects on a host of topics and all of them have ended too soon for me. I get so enthralled with the easy banter between the guest and host’s in-depth discussions that before I realize it, 45 minutes has passed. It’s obvious that Mr. Valley has done his research and knows his material. This podcast is already great and can only get better. Looking forward to many more from this one.
