“I’ve been a fan of this show for a while. As the title says, Misha is a thoughtful guy who lets his guests do the talking. He brings unique perspectives of his own, and even more from his guests.
Again, I was a big fan, but Misha really gained my respect when his show went quiet…only for him to...”Read full review »

“Misha pulls in thoughtful, insightful high profile individuals. Listening to former PM tell stories of MI5 agent and legal battles with the UK government. Battles within the liberal party and rolling off poetry like it’s just ever normal in every day conversation. Well worth it.”

“There’s something about the podcast framework that allows the interviewers to get so much more out the guests than you usually would from a typical “to camera” interview.
This is one such podcast, couldn’t recommend it highly enough.”
