I think the biggest thing that Lex “needs” (that’s a bit strong wording because I do like his podcast) to change is that professional interviewers tend to drive the interview towards the benefit of the audience and the guest (the interviewer very well may have a hidden agenda but the good ones hide it well), Lex’s style is more about his own personal interests and anecdotes his uses this interviews primarily to benefit his own curiosity than to the benefit of the of viewership which why he tends to go on so many tangents I think.
