The broadcast is called a "deep dive" but it is really just a longer conversation.
This is a good thing. Some "deep dive" conversations seem designed to make the guest feel uncomfortable or to prove a host’s pet theory on a small, inconsequential, on-off situation.
I prefer the conversational style. Sometimes, putting a guest at ease with a natural flow of conversation can lead to a deeper exposition of the guest’s expertise.
One of the things that Ali does right is keep his personal situation questions to just the right percentage of the show. Enough so that we can tell he is listening instead of racing through his questions, but not so much that the show become Deep Dive with Ali, starring Ali.
Still a little sad that he is not coming to the USA. The media of the USA is unrelentingly negative when compared to other countries so I’m not surprised.
