Customer Reviews
Great Host and a Unique idea to televise radio interviews
Jian Ghomeshi is obviously a very intelligent and approachable man. I think it is great how he blends discussion of higher topics along with pop culture references. I especially enjoyed the interviews with authors such as Salman Rushdie and Malcolm Gladwell. Jian Ghomeshi is a great host also in the respect that we deals very well in unexpected situations in the studio! Way to go, and keep on being a classy guy. We'll keep watching/listening!
great interviews
This podcast is great. Learn more about the artist you love. I suggest this podcast to anyone wishing to broaden their artistic inputs. I would give the podcast 5 stars if they contained performances.
What a great listen (and he's easy on the eyes, too!)!
Listening to Jian makes me wish I lived in Ontario just to gear his broadcasts or that I had a subscription to Sirius radio (almost, but not quite on this one). I love listening to his gorgeous voice and his obviously well-researched insightful questions. I thoroughly enjoyed his 3/24 interview with Canadian songwriting/singing legend Gordon Lightfoot. Being a big RUSH fan, I also loved his interview with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson. I guess I will just have to suffice with a subscription to Jian's podcasts. Long sigh...it's better than nothing! :-) You have to listen to Jian Ghomeshi and his show. (P.S. He is really is quite handsome, too!)
