DealBook Summit - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I think the concept and the nature of the series is great at getting to the core of what we, the public want to know from these consequential leaders. However, Sorkin’s abrupt and interrupting style grates. I also think the way he needles at guests’ attempts to skirt direct answers misses just asking the real question. He seems to be easily misled down the sidetracks guests take him on when avoiding answering the hard questions. Instead of being combative, and getting frustrated when they don’t answer, use a little empathy and less obvious media speak. Take a hint from Terri Gross. Use the approach of empathic humanizing, instead of these ridiculous headline questions that lack true substance.
