I'm new to this show and I must say it made a very good impression. The interviewee is allowed to talk most of time, which helps us understand the topic better and lends an atmosphere of calm to the whole interview. There's another show out there which is pretty good, but the host asks such lengthy questions and at such high speed that it's hard for us, let alone to the guest, I guess, to keep up (I won't name names! Lol).
