I agree with much of what you say, but in particular I find his interview style is hard to listen to. Multiple questions in a row, musing out loud after asking the questions and interrupting. When Lex isn't speaking, they can be pretty good.

To his credit, the guests are regularly notable in their credentials or important public figures, sometimes both. Zelensky isn’t that surprising. The other thing I can appreciate is that for better or worse, he has guests with some very different perspectives. On Ukraine he's had John Mearsheimer (sp?) and Oliver Stone crying for poor victim Russia, also Fiona Hill and now Zelensky providing good counterpoint, among others.
