  • The Elon Musk interview!

    I’m full of admiration for Mishal generally but for this interview she was brilliant. She showed so much grace and courage to face up to one of the most powerful men in the world. Never once did she lose her cool. Highly recommend. !

  • Good Interviews

    I’ve listened to a few of these. Good relaxed conversations. Dropping her resume and her kids achievements is a little annoying and unnecessary

  • Excellent interviewer

    I always feel as though I have a better grasp on things after I hear Mishal. Her research is impeccable and you feel as though you’re sitting at dinner with some very clued in people but never feel put down.
