First Class Content

What we have here is a gentleman, Willie Geist, who is a great pleasure to listen to. He's wholesome, well spoken, and the kind of guy you would enjoy sitting down with for some great conversation.

Willie has interviewed some of the finest celebrities of our time. We get to hear personal thoughts and anecdotes from people we all love. What now could you ask for?

I know ... Willie ... How about a sit-down with me?

Can I go with you to every interview?

There is not one interview that Willie has done that has not been fantastic. He asks the questions I would want to know the answers to. He is so patient with the guest and allows them take as much time as they need to answer. He does not rush them. What a sweet man Willie seems to be. I often send his podcasts to my friends. Recently I so enjoyed the interview wtih Jon Favreau. What a kind, curious, interested, and interesting man Jon seems to be. Who knew?

What about an interview with Mike Rowe, Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, Chris Stapleton, Harry Connick Jr, Maria Shriver....I could go on and on.

Lucky you to do these interviews. Lucky the ones you get to interview. Keep it up. I love the podcast so much.

Wonderful as Always

I love Henry, and listen to all of the Podcasts but this was very hard to understand with all the background noise from the restaurant. I loved what I could hear.
