I got to this late but he is interviewing people who are taking/took guanfacine.

This is still going on. The barbarian guy is a good interviewer—very methodical—but slow.

Seems like responses to guanfacine are mixed.

These folks have so much Long Covid fatigue that the show is now going on for four hours—still going.

This program is still going on—closing in on five hours now. One person estimated that the guanfacine response rate might be 60-70%.
