I love everything about this podcast. The fact that Tris researches (or just knows about) the interviewee leads to in depth and inciteful content which you don't get with off the hoof interviews. He gets the right balance of being respectful without blowing smoke. Boxing people seem to open up to him because he has no bias or ulterior agenda.
