Featured Article: The Best Interview Podcasts to Listen to Right Now


The interview has been a powerful form of entertainment and revelation since long before podcasts came around. There's little as compelling as listening to an in-depth and intimate conversation between a skilled interviewer and someone with a story to share. Interviews can teach us about ourselves and the world; introduce us to new ideas and ways of thinking; offer insight into smart, fascinating people; provide new perspectives, and so much more.

Love this podcast! It's not for everyone as some of the humor is dry, and the hosts have quick wits. I find it hilarious though. So many "funny" people are so obvious today. These hosts are clever, smart funny. Interesting, diverse guests and conversations. Wonderful repartee. Makes me wish we were all friends having dinner

Interesting and funny

What a great surprise!’ I usually listen to Howard Stern, but I felt his show is getting played out and boring guest since Covid 19. I loved the show arrested development and gave this a listen. Great chemistry and Will Arnet is hilarious. Love these guys.

Best radio show

Oklahoma listener.... not just Wisconsin! Could genuinely use two episodes a week. Even the ads are hilarious. I sent the manscaping “jingle balls” ad to friends because it’s just too perfect. Three idiots that are smart way deep down, and make me laugh out loud in the car.

Side note, my four year old and sixteen month old laugh and dance to the theme song every time it comes on. Family fun, guys.

Yes

Awesome in so many respects! Hillarious hosts who are great company and interesting and fun high profile guests.

This is such a fun and feel good show!

This podcast always feels like I’m eavesdropping on three people having a conversation with someone while sipping coffee or tea in someone’s kitchen or patio. So fun! A welcome treat in this pandemic where 99% of media are obsessed with negatively slanting events and highlighting mostly the downside and not even mentioning wins and gains.

The Trio and George were a welcome treat
