+1 on Rory Stewart- as well as being the President of GD, he was the Secretary of State for International Development in the UK, has started and run his own charity (I believe with his wife) in the developing world, has mentioned EA previously, is known to be an enjoyable person to listen to (judging by the success of his podcast), and has just released a book- and therefore might be more likely than usual to engage with popular media.
Also +1 David Thorstad, assuming we are interested in the best critiques of longtermism/X-risk reduction existing out there. I don’t see anyone remotely as appropriate as him on the topic.

Rory Stewart is always a good time, surprised he hasn’t been interviewed already!
