> twisting himself into pseudo-impartiality doesn't make someone interesting.

TBH my impression is that his interviews come off as a couple of college guys smoking joints and talking about the meaning of life. I never got the appeal. Yes, he does get some really great guests, but I wonder why some of these people would agree to these interviews?

I don’t think you’ve heard too many of his interviews then. He will sometimes go into pot-mode meaning-of-life stuff but that will be for a few minutes in a several hour long interview.

If someone is an expert in a niche technical field and would like to talk about it for several hours to a large-ish general audience, what other show would they go on?

He's currently the 12th most popular podcast. Great exposure for anyone to go on his podcast.
