Best Interviewer
- Tyler Cowen — Conversations with Tyler
The most prepared interviewer working. His guests say so themselves, over and over: nobody else has read everything. The signature questions — “What is your production function?”, what’s underrated versus overrated, what has he changed his mind about — do more work than most interviewers’ entire prep docs. He talks less than any big-name interviewer and gets more out of people: no monologues dressed up as questions, no performing curiosity for the audience. Same rigor whether the guest is an economist, a novelist, or a chess player, and the follow-ups land fast enough to prove he’s listening instead of working down a list.
