Jonna is truly an amazing woman! Her life stories that she can tell are truly awesome! But just imagine the things she can never tell anyone 😱 She’s probably the most courageous woman I know of, and I know for sure that I’d never have been able to do the kind of job she did, especially not during those times. She’s truly a real life Wonder Woman. It’s humbling listening to her when you just live a quiet life as an average world citizen and your only experiences with “her world” is from watching James Bond movies. With this I want to thank Jonna and her colleagues, and current agents for all the hard work they’ve put in and still put in, to make the world a safer place for us all! All the intel, actions and counter actions have likely prevented many full blown wars from taking place, and for that I am forever very grateful!

I know Pat has his own thing going on, but he's seriously one of the best interviewers I've ever seen. He asks biting, challenging questions that steer the guests to answer in an interesting manner. He predicts what the audience wants to know next, and asks the right question to get a good answer. His follow-ups are the most amazing I've seen, he engages with the information and follows up whenever it's prudent. The world needs more journalistic masters.

[@bennymoshe9919]

I absolutely agree! In my opinion, P. B-D is one of the very best interviewers out there! He is truly gifted, a younger Larry King-esque style I might even say.. You can even see him usually make notes or alterations on his prepared document, most likely an outline of questioning for the interviews. He is extremely adaptable as an interviewer. Regardless of any post editing on the part of valuetainment, his adaptability creates a sense of flow during the interview and beyond that, he has the ability to skip over points for the sake of the direction in regard to the answers to his inquiries, then manages to circle back around to a topic or question while maintaining coherence and continuity throughout. And his capacity to do it across the board with such different and varied personalities also speaks towards his skill as an interviewer.
