Refreshingly honest
I didn’t really know what to expect but I’m totally hooked. I love that there are a range of guests and views discussed. But the thing that I really like is that the interviews are totally free form. It doesn’t feel like a ‘journalist’ asking someone pre-prepared questions to try and trip them up. Tom as a host is very authentic and I think often brings out the best in the guests. I really like that sometimes Tom admits that he didn’t know how to deal with a particular guest or argument, and I always sympathise because I don’t know that I would do any better - and this is the appeal. It feels like you’re there with them having a casual chat. The conversation is free to go in any directions that it wants to, and the interviews are long too which is great. Can’t recommend highly enough!
