a comment complaint about Crob is that he doesn't do enough research / ask good questions - and while there might be an element of truth to that, I feel people underestimate the host. Interviewing people aint easy, the people that are good at it are talented. And of course preparation is important, but equally as important is creating the right atmosphere - allowing the guests to relax and tell their story. My impression is that the 9 Club is getting better and better - they have done some tremendous interviews of late, barring the 1010 fiasco, but that was a rare mis-step. I though the 5 hour Mike V was top notch. Keep 'em coming.
