Customer Reviews
Love Body Electric
I love TED and especially love Body Electric! I really identified with Dana’s story and look forward to feeling better, more human.
Need improvement
This used to be my favorite podcast, not anymore, too many repeated episodes, many episodes are only available to paid subscribers, the content is biased, narrow, not like real TED talk. Need some serious improvement!!!
Surprised People Hear Same Thing
I haven’t listened to this cast since 2017. I stopped listening because it was heavily politicized and loved to bash God. I had told a group friends that the other day and then decided to give it another chance to prove me wrong here in 2024.
I’ve listened to Manoush on her old podcast back then too and I think she is great. I have nothing bad to say about her. She’s clear and to the point and has a gift of sounding like someone you want to listen to very much like Guy before here.
Still, I am refreshed by seeing so many reviews that are not here for having politics forced down their throats. I thought TED was about science folks. I’m going to go ahead and not waste my time listening cause time is too precious.
