I always learn so much in the deep dives that Niala provides!

This is one of the best interview podcasts covering global issues. I listen to be informed about neglected issues that really matter.

Always current and informative

I’m enjoy how the team digs into a topic and provides a thoughtful discussion. Excellent!

I wish everyone listened to this podcast. Thank you for being honest without judging & thorough without overwhelming.

Niala is a great interviewer and the format of the show allows for a deeper look into the news.

I so appreciate One Big Thing for giving me more depth on topics I care about as well as those I needed to know about. Thank you!

As an avid podcast listener, I've come across countless shows over the years, and I’m always looking for a good long form show that will teach me something new. 1 big thing stands out for me in the new year, new podcast thing I’ve been trying out. What sets this podcast apart is Niala's sincere interest in her guests and what they’re passionate about—which effortlessly draws me into every conversation. It's refreshing to experience such genuine engagement in a sea of middling podcasts. Instead of rushing through topics, Niala delves into the heart of the matter. This approach not only provides a more comprehensive perspective than other ‘speedrun of the news’ shows I’ve come across and have burned me out, but the weekly topic becomes a slow burn for me and I’m often thinking about the show’s guests afterwards. Check out the episodes on dancer Misty Copeland and the one on addiction. It's rare to find a podcast that not only entertains but also challenges and enriches its audience.

Seems to be getting worse. Hope it turns around

Wanted to flag that the piece on evangelical MAGA vote isn’t journalism. It’s one sided and surprisingly the questions were all softballs and no pushback. It’s an opinion piece and not reporting, which is different than what Axios does. I’m not sure if this podcast is intended to be journalism or not. But so many things like this go by without being called out. If you want it to be opinion that’s cool, but suggest you label it so to distinguish this from other Axios content so as not to dilute the brand. I really like Axios as journalism when it is.
