Customer Reviews
Sanity
This forms one of my necessary doses of sanity, as a Brit living in America for the past 2 years. Great show, brilliant guests and emphatic questions.
Some amazing interviews in here
Great insights and entertainment
Good Interviews; could live without the comedy
The interviews are engaging and interesting. I'd give it five stars for the interviews.
The humour segments at the start of some episodes, and especially the impressions, border between mildly interesting and excruciating. Cut them.
Also the sound quality is poor on some of the live episodes, which really detracts.
