This tends to go overlooked because of the partisan/ideological divide, but Megyn Kelly has always been a top tier interviewer and broadcaster.

PG doesnt host interviews much, and doesnt have a podcast, but I remember really loving this interview bc: 1) He asks stuff that you can tell *he* personally really wants to know 2) He thinks about whether the person gets asked that a lot 3) He will question things that diverge from his opinion, without feeling argumentative https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGsalg2f9js

Check out Ben Thompson’s interviews on Stratechery. They don’t go viral but always have crisp framing + hard questions
