I have the privilege of being on Billy’s show. I found him to be an excellent interviewer in all the best ways. First and foremost he does his homework to find out who you are. Secondly, he listens. Which is huge because in that listening, he hears the nuances and shadings that bring out some of his best questions…this makes for a lively interview. He’s simultaneously respectful and unafraid to throw out a provocative question. All in all, it’s no surprise that people love to be interviewed by Billy and that he gets such good people to be on his show.
Michael, I’m humbled by your kind words. Thank you. I’m glad you had a positive experience on my show. I try to make every guest feel the way you do. I’m so happy I succeeded in making you feel that way.
