Amazing Guests. Frustrating Hosts.

“I listen to this show and I think that this is probably how I would act if I hosted an interview show. This is not a good thing. Listening to Thorn interrupt his guests or otherwise dominate the conversation with his tired "routines", stories, or catch phrases (e.g. "We have fun, don't we?"), I assume that he's just an ambitious guy who has kept abreast of "cool" culture and comedy. People probably always viewed him as clever and witty. But when you put him in front of a microphone, he severely overestimates his charm while trying to force some weird sense of rapport with the guest. What's most frustrating is that the quality of guests is often amazing, so listening to the host attempt to draw the conversation back to himself usually makes me want to fast forward until I hear the guests get back to what they were talking about, usually after offering some bored response like "Oh, wow" or "Really? Huh…". There are countless times where I shake my head and think, "Please, just let the guest finish this thought." Ultimately, I think it's great that he's doing the show and is able to get great guests, but I can't help but feel like I'm the same clever kid up there desperately trying to upstage everyone else.”Read full review »

“TSOYA is always time well spent. Jesse Thorn is a fabulous interviewer and consistently has guests on the show that you might not necessarily recognize by name, but by the end of the show you are researching how to get a hold of more of their work. It's smart, funny and interesting without...”Read full review »
