The interview has been a powerful form of entertainment and revelation since long before podcasts came around.

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.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
