Customer Reviews
The expiration date on a new idea?
These are good if they are under 10 minutes. The interview with Malcolm Gladwell was lacking substance and too long. I'm a big fan of Gladwell's early work. What happens when an author starts to sound the same after the first two books?
Fascinating
Fascinating subject matter & a charming interviewer. I look forward to these every week!
Informative and fun
Great short interviews perfect for short drives
