When I listen to podcast hosts like Lex or Rogan or Cowen, I'm partly listening because the interviews are great. But they're entertainment, after all.

The real reason I'm listening is because I want to understand how they ask questions, why they're so good, how to be that good.

Rogan is great because he makes it okay to feel dumb. He makes it acceptable to be the beginner— the audio version of ELI5. But he's so charismatic and good at getting people to "take their mask off" that you get the real person, in a way I don't think anyone else can do.

no prob! if you have any thoughts on it would love to hear too :)
