Fridman gets his guests to open up, which is valuable, but yes he does that by being uncritical of basically all guests ...
For example, I didn't know who Vivek R was before a month or so ago, and I watched the Fridman interview with him. I actually thought he came off very well ... He got to hit his high notes
Vivek got challenged a bit there, in a good way. I saw a lot more of the holes and inconsistencies
(Ezra Klein seems to be a reasonable centrist, more like the reporters of 20-30 years ago. After reading NYTimes since the 90's, I stopped taking at least half of NYTimes seriously maybe around 2015. They were/are literally trolling in their Op Eds for clicks, and greatly expanded that section. But there is still some stuff worth reading)
I also watched parts of Fridman's interview of Milei, and didn't form a strong impression, maybe because of the translation.

Then I watched this Ezra Klein interview, and I got a better picture - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY6NGom3gvU
