Customer Reviews
I’m here for Lex
Lex is one of most intelligent people on the platform. Guests are interesting, but the show wouldn’t be even half as interesting without the CONVERSATION with him!
Nice but Lex lacks basic interview skills
He gets good guests,
But he doesn’t know how to criticize, and seems ignorant of the subject matter, letting the guest spin his own narrative uninterrupted.
This is embarrassingly apparent with controversial guests like Netanyahu, who gets no push back whatsoever when plowing through his demagoguery: as if Israel is “a stellar democracy”, the protests against him are senseless, he “has no news channels” (he actually had a handle on most of them), he “raised the gdp” (but the cost of living skyrockets).
And not a word about millions of Palestinians under a brutal and lucrative military oppression.
Lex ignores all that…
My default podcast
I’m listening to many podcasts, Lex Fridman’s podcast is my default.
Tier 1 guests, interesting and thorough conversations on huge variety of topics.
on top of that, Lex is a great person.
