Customer Reviews
Triumph And Disaster
Don"t let the bombastic opening fool you.Cam is a thoughful and literate host with a sincere love of the arts that is borderline contagious. Treat yourself to something better and give this podcast a listen.
Authentic
Great, great listen. The time just flies by. Cam approaches each episode with an authentic quest to learn more about his guests while quietly sharing it all with his listeners. It's amazing how before you know it, you're many levels deep on a subject that you didn't expect. The conversations are so genuine and not the cookie cutter template that dominates our culture right now. Calling them interviews feels like a slight and certainly an inadequate description.
Simply Brilliant!!
Cameron has a way of engaging his guests in conversations that go beyond what you would expect from a podcast.
He has a such a natural way of asking questions, bringing up a topic, and letting his guests talk, all the while never losing the feeling that he is there connecting with them.
In addition, these conversations go beyond what you might expect from simply seeing who the guest is.
Jeff Dowd is a perfect example. There are of course mentions of "The Dude" but the way Cameron leads the interview and engages him, you get to know Mr. Dowd, and the same can be same for other guests, in a new way you didn't know, in a nutshell, you get to meet the human beings behind the names you already know.
This is hands down the best podcast I have heard in years.
All of this comes together with the knowledge and passion Cameron has of art, film, the world, and his guests.
