“I used to only listen when my favorite artists were on Bullseye. I couldn’t help notice how often they would say, “what a good question, no one has ever asked me that.” I’ve since learned to love Jessie’s interview style and enjoy learning a tiny bit about him, and volumes about his fascinating...”Read full review »

“The number of times I’ve heard a guest say “wow an interviewer has never asked me that” or “thank you so much for noticing that” is insane. Jesse has a skill for connecting with his guests that really gets the best out of the conversation, without being prying or insensitive. He comes across as...”Read full review »

“The variety of artists and scope of talent presented is unlike any other in this format. Jesse has a unique lens from which he asks his questions. His courage to ask in depth questions can yield the most touching responses. I always leave this podcast with a strong positive emotion and food for...”Read full review »

“I came to Bullseye after being a long-time Judge John Hodgman listener. It snuck up on me that Jesse Thorne is the second-best interviewer in the game right now. (Terry Gross is untouchable.)”

“He doesn’t seem to have the ability to deeply listen. Very often he will ask questions that are too similar in succession. Some really annoying bad habits:
- he will ask questions like, do you feel A? or do you feel B? Instead of just asking How did ____ name you feel.
-at least twice per...”Read full review »

“Always thoughtful and insightful, often funny as well. Jesse asks unique questions that somehow get at something I did not yet realize I always wanted to know! Jordan, Jesse Go! and Judge John Hodgman are also great Maximum Fun Podcasts Jesse makes.”

He doesn’t let up when guests try to dodge or cop out, but constantly maintains a high level of kindness and respect. I think the interviews get deeper than a lot of...”Read full review »

“I don’t think Jesse is a very good interviewer. He makes too much of the conversation about himself. He’s also so woke it hurts and takes any chance he possibly can to remind the world that he grew up poor. He also slips into a weird lingo when interviewing certain black people..?”

“Great guests but Jesse Thorne makes every interview about himself. I don’t think he was fair to Mitchell and Webb and it was unprofessional to keep pressing a point when the guest asked him not to and told him he didn’t want to talk about it. Agree or disagree with guest but when they ask you to...”Read full review »

“The American’s are forcing their strange language-fanaticism upon the world.
The interviewer has an almost psychopathic lack of humour and faux conviviality towards his guests.”

“Light-hearted chat to plug a sitcom turned into a hatchet job based around a tweet from years ago that Webb clearly was not expecting to have to talk about. Very awkward, wholly inappropriate and I take my hat off to Webb for how calmly and politely he dealt with the attack.”

“Shocked at how Jesse Thorn conducted himself in the interview with Robert Webb and David Mitchell. Two exceptionally talented comedy writers and he wastes their time with an emotionally manipulative rant violating his own children’s privacy in order to effectively “cancel” Webb. Shamelessly...”Read full review »
