First of his podcasts I've listened to, and very impressed. Difficult to interview someone the stature of Pacino, but he absolutely aced it. Respectful and not fawning. Great questions and just let him go. Excellent stuff

Willie, your show today (April 12) was great! I love how you kept the entire show positive and uplifting. In these difficult days, we need the encouragement of news personalities who are honest, forthright, and keep even those who attempt to put a negative spin on the Coronavirus and the government responses in check. Great job today! Thanks for all you are doing!
