More from the comments

Great debate-style episodes on amazing topics (such as "Should the west engage with Russia,") mixed with interviews of book authors. Must listen!

For examples of how to conduct this style of debate a great podcast that follows this format is "Intelligence Squared".

There are interviewers out there that are far more knowledgeable than him and conduct genuinely interesting interviews with smart people. For example, check out Intelligence Squared podcast.
