Actor Greg Kinnear has starred in dozens of roles on film and TV from his breakout role in 1995’s Sabrina, to his Oscar nominated role in As Good as It Gets alongside Jack Nicholson, but he actually got his start in broadcasting.

Director Nia DaCosta’s new film Hedda is a daring adaptation of the 1891 Henrik Ibsen play Hedda Gabler.

Elvis knows the business well enough to give ideas and input to his subjects. He should be required listening for anyone wanting to become an interviewer.
I agree with all the other reviews that regail Elvis' great interviewing prowess, but I also want to recommend this podcast to all the other folks out there like me whose local Public Radio affiliate doesn't broadcast The Treatment. The shows are insightful and highly entertaining! I'm glad I stumbled upon these broadcasts!
Elvis is a great interviewer because he really cares about the person he is talking with. His style is laidback but passionate. Because he is so trustworthy his shows are very insightful. My only complaint is they need more episodes!
