Incredibly Informative Interviews

I've long loved Jesse Thorn's unabashed fandom and enthusiasm for his interview subjects on Bullseye. Here, Jesse brings that air and professional curiousity for his craft to this podcast. It's equal parts a revelatory search for what makes the titans of the form good at their jobs, but also a warm and personalized look at how varied these people treat their subjects and end products. I'm never going to be a radio or podcast personality, but I loved every minute of this show. [2022 Update: This show still rules. Ignore the haters.]
Must-listen

Insightful and tremendously entertaining for anyone, not just those who do interviewing.
Inspiration for Interviewers!

I just started a new podcast and have gotten TONS of value and encouragement out of these interviews. I often listen to episodes on my way to see a guest, or when I've had waves of feeling discouraged. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Great
