“This guy is a joke and a pig.
A want to be knock off joe rogan. Lame and boring. Reminds me of all the pathetic boys who finally got access to a microphone and get off to the sound of their voice and any minuscule amount attention. TOMATOES”

“This podcast inspires me daily as a creative and artistic person. It also gives me an unrealistic hope to one day be interviewed by such a compassionate, thoughtful, and smart interviewer, such as Sam.

“Absolutely love Sam’s interviewing style. He manages to really peel back the layers of his guests so that you often feel like you are getting a glimpse into their hearts and souls and what drives them. Thanks Sam for introducing me to such a varied group of interesting people.”

“This guy gets great guests and I don’t know how. His questions are often quite unique and always informed, but sooooooo judgy. Maybe it’s just his tone, but he comes across as they guy who thinks he is the smartest person in the room. Or wants to be.”
