#105: Guy Raz, Host of Weekends on All Things Considered




The Conversation Hub show

Summary: Genuine and authentic. Two words that describe my guest this week. Guy Raz was on my bucket list of people I wanted to interview.  I was so excited when he responded to my request on Twitter and took time from his busy schedule to join me in conversation! If you haven't listen to his show, I highly recommend you tune to NPR on Saturday and Sunday at 5pm (or 4pm depending on your market) - it's an hour you'll be glad you spent in his company. PS - If you enjoy our podcast and liked this episode, visit us on iTunes (link to iTunes) and rate/review our show. Thanks!
