“Interesting guests, terrible interviewer.
Tyler begins the interviews without giving much of an introduction or background information on the person he's interviewing, so the listener doesn't have much context for what's being talked about.
Additionally, as the title of my review implies, they're not exactly "conversations". Tyler usually just asks a series of questions to the guests and rarely responds to their answers with anything more than "Why?" or "How so?" Very often the questions are not related to the question he asked before or the response the guest gave - there's no transition between topics. It often sounds like he's just reading off a list of questions that he had written down in advance. This is not the way a good host conducts an interview.
If you want to hear actual conversations, listen to EconTalk instead.”Read full review »

“Tyler chooses guests he's genuinely interested in and it shows. He's always well versed in guests' work, often asking unexpected questions about fairly obscure or off-the-beaten-track things that they've done. These are delightful interviews.”Read full review »
