Great guests- terrible host

Love the guests and questions, But this interviewer is TERRIBLE!! Talks over them, puts words in their mouth. No idea how he got to be the one that interviews this calibre of people!! Another middle aged white man rising above his natural talent?
emboadi

Mr

Fantastic
nanzpeace

SOOO GOOD!

Just what I was longing for—intelligent, informative, thoughtful and unbiased interviews with brilliant, accomplished, interesting people.
Mezzie Buckley

Great content well delivered

James strikes a good balance between incisive questioning and empathetic conversation, especially in the more recent interviews.

Plan B made me do it. And Akala.

Cheers from Austin, Texas mate. Walked in to see my therapist today, headphones on (as one does). Asked what i was playing, I tried explaining Mystery Hour. Apparently I was far from the first to mention the show. Keep on man, a voice of reason resonating. Nibblets.
