    1479 D&S: Don't Need Your Voicemails

    They told me to use that title but they were crying when they said it, kinda like Steve Martin in The Jerk. It's really not pretty hearing two grown-ass men cry like that, could somebody please leave them a voicemail just to shut them up?

Emotionally Intelligent Host Interviewing on Emotional Intelligence

Doug really stays focused on the guest, but it’s more than that. He improvises questions that get into where the guest is coming from and digs into what human needs drive the guest’s point of view. That’s next-level podcasting.
