The interview has been a powerful form of entertainment and revelation since long before podcasts came around. There's little as compelling as listening to an in-depth and intimate conversation between a skilled interviewer and someone with a story to share.

This is a fantastic podcast

Excellent episode. There were many glitches during the playback involving jumps and skipping time etc. so it was difficult at times to follow the interview. Very frustrating and I hope Audible fixes their playback issues.
