The Gray Area with Sean Illing

I appreciate being able to listen to a conversation where everyone is being honest. It’s a crazy world out here. Thank you!

He gets the most thought provoking authors. He is a generous interviewer. Most of my book purchases are inspired by Sean.

I love the topics and the guests but find every episode has a very tragic outlook. In a typical episode, I find myself very interested and curious only to be hit with the host super doomsday outlook on most topics.

My only issue with this podcast is I end up buying every book after hearing Sean talk to the author. My entire frickin’ book budget goes to this podcast. But I’m so grateful for the excellent reads and thought provoking conversations.

I enjoy Sean’s calm, thoughtful style of interviewing his reliably smart and interesting guests. This is one of the two Vox podcasts that encouraged me to become a Vox member. Ad-free podcasts are the best podcasts!
