“As others have said, Paul asks the same scripted questions and it sometimes makes him seem to not listen to what has been said. For example, the interviewee may say that a walk helps to clear their head, then later he’ll ask them what they do to make themselves happy.
On a positive note, there...”Read full review »

“Tried this podcast for the first time today. Paul is a really great host: engaging and insightful. He listens to his guests and asks wonderful follow-up questions during the discussions. I’ll be listening to more episodes while I’m working from home. Thanks, Paul!”

“Paul McKenna is a great interviewer and a genuinely nice person. I’m a big fan of his books and his contribution to NLP and hypnosis. My favourite episode so far is the one with Jon Ronson (No 30).”

“Really good guests with often similar answers to Paul’s set of scripted questions.
I find because of the repeated questions to each guest I got bored. Occasionally a big character would deviate after being asked a question which would be interesting because it was a much more natural dialogue...”Read full review »

“McKenna is a surprisingly terrible interviewer, very wooden and he actually reads from scripted questions where you can clearly see the clumsy join. But the guests are good and interesting despite of McKenna’s style so 4 stars.”

“Only found this at the start of 2021 and have spend the last couple of months catching up. Ultimately it’s the same set of questions asked to people of interest. That is 78 (so far) different sets of answers. Different peoples perceptions and opinions are fascinating and I believe PMcK brings out...”Read full review »

“I really enjoy listening to each episode and find it so interesting to hear how so many of the guests share a similar mindset i.e. stop caring about what other people think, believe in yourself and just go for it! I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Learning so much that I can apply to my own...”Read full review »
