Customer Reviews
Fascinating host and guests!
I love the way Gates relates with her guests. So many amazing stories. I hope she continues with a new season. This really is a special thing she is doing that doesn’t just copy others’ styles of interview podcasting. Bravo to such a multi-talented and intriguing person!
Like meeting up with (my) old friends!
I love the rapport and story telling on this show. All of Gates’ guests are familiar and fun! They are authentic and brilliant and their stories are a testament.
Every guest is a person I’ve enjoyed on the screen and then hearing them in this setting only reinforces the feeling that I would feel very comfortable just having a conversation with them! (No small talk though!)
Thanks for this. I’m all in!
