Corey Brettschneider lied when he said Richard Nixon ordered the Watergate break-in. You let him lie. C-SPAN should know better.

I listen to many of the C-SPAN podcasts and I enjoy them, but Booknotes is my favorite. I especially like the tilt towards history. Many of the topics are interesting, but particularly useful to have historical perspective when we’re going through such turbulent times.

Excellent interview with Dwight Chapin. We need stories of this caliber especially regarding Watergate. Bring Dwight back for a part two interview. I was in high school during this Watergate episode and I am more convinced that Dwight Chapin had no business going to jail. Hello, John Dean are you listening!

It was maddening to listen to the “disingenuousness to the extreme” and “down right phony, hypocritical Kirschber. I barely got through this episode due to his palpable hatred of President Trump. He is all in for the horrid election interference and political persecution by his injudicious procedures to remove the current leader for President by willfully circumventing the Constitution. He was an absolute galling outrage with his diabolical disregard for truth. He screams justice, justice! He is absolutely disgustingly unjust by his incredibly contemptible fabrications.

Brian’s the best!

Just listened to the interview with Dorian Lynskey, author of Ministry of Truth. The interviewer didn’t seem to have read the book. He acknowledged that it was NOT an Orwell bio, but then asked all his questions as if it was, ignoring most of the content of the book. It also sounded more like he was going down a prewritten list of questions, rather than listening to the interviewee and engaging with him. Maybe this was a one-off. I’ll try giving it another chance sometime.

I love this podcast! Brian Lamb seems to read my mind, asking the very questions I’d like to ask. His interviews are laid back and engaging — the way he draws out the person he’s interviewing is so enjoyable, I always want more. Thank you Brian Lamb, your absolutely wonderful!

Brian Lamb is one of the best TV interviewers I’ve ever come across. He has a Socratic type of interview style: no gotcha questions, or show-off what he knows attitudes. He constantly has the viewer in mind & asks the questions that the viewer might have. Keep reading, Brian, & keep interviewing.

Brian Lamb, creator and guiding spirit of C-SPAN has a gift for selecting and investigating and interviewing authors of a wide variety of nonfiction books. His age is only a number as he shares his curiosity, reporting skills and conversation with us. It helps that topics that interest him are usually ones I would select too. While I have enjoyed many podcasts, this one really educates and stimulates my brain. Thank you, Brian!

Great conversations, really interesting topics.

This is just the best I Missed Brian Lamb so much and have been influenced the buy several books from the knowledge provided by his interviews.

Novak is a dirty little greaseball. he should have been prosecuted for outing valerie plain. he sleazed out of that. that probably is why kristol disconnected from him which was a smart move. blahhh

Thank You for bringing Mr Lamb back this is a great Podcast and very enjoyable and entertaining
