Best inteviewer in Seattle

Steve Scher is the best interviewer in Seattle, and perhaps one of the greatest in the country. His casual, informed, curious style gets famous people, thinkers and authors talking more deeply than they normally would on the book tour circuit, or even in life. Great storytelling, smart discourse, at the right length so we can really lean richly into a topic. Well done!
