I think there is a balance every podcaster has to find between pushing back and being a gracious host. Also, between number of topics to cover and how thoroughly to cover each topic. This is especially true with a hard time limit. There is no right answer and I think you have to just go by feel. I am frustrated at times when he doesn't dig in his heels and push back, but I have seen other hosts do that and the conversation gets bogged down for an hour. I guess the upside of less pushback is it gives us a lot more room to be original in the comments section.
