I’m Dutch, listening to you from Amsterdam. Love this show. Thanks so much for making it and offering it here for free!! Have been listening for quite a while now and thought I’d let the world know what a great podcast this is. Also, I like the music. Particularly the song at the end of the recent doomsday episode with the eighties kind of electronic vibe was a great fit for the subject.
Too many ads

The subjects they discuss are very interesting. Only the whole podcast is drenched with ads.
Keep explaining!

This could very well be the best podcast out there. Sean’s voice is very clear and he speaks foreigner friendly English, so it’s easy to follow. Keep it up you guys!
Great, but…

A must listen to podcast. Concise and balanced, Today Explained gives quick, relatively in-depth coverage of important global topics. Great for brushing up with what’s happening during your commute. But please, please, please, Vox, take the ‘Island of Explained’/kids episodes to a seperate podcast 🙏 They are truly awful. Update: Please also kill the propaganda ads for US dairy. Talking about how “we love cows”… honestly, by now, we’ve seen the footage, we know how the industry works. And we all know what they do to get that milk. You love cows? Give me a break. I listen because I value the integrity and honesty of the reporting here. Those ads undercut that completely.
