A DDEP BOW
Your interview with Peter C. was most enjoyable. My wife and I listened to it this morning.
Peter was open and forthcoming and we both felt we got to know him through your excellent questions and your own sharing.
You engender trust. Your many years of experience interviewing came through in the episode.
I could relate to some of his experiences growing up with a dominating father and mother who was not seen as being equal. Peter’s range of experience from creative writing to acting to becoming a Buddhist teacher is impressive and yes, a little intimidating. You handled that so well and found areas of common interests.
Not having read any of Peter’s books, I found his sharing to be fresh and interesting. You had to at times interrupt his monologue. You did that with respect and finesse.
Thanks again for the interview and your ongoing excellent podcast.
thanks, Ralph. Not sure when that happened but it’s there now!
