Tavis Smiley

Hello Tavis and all his listeners, I remember fondly Tavis from his PBS days and was one of many who has missed him beyond measure ever since. I didn’t know about this podcast or else I would’ve written this a long time ago. I always enjoyed his interview style and his energy, so I am thrilled to know he’s got a podcast! I already KNOW that his previous episodes I have yet to listen to are EXCELLENT, as I spent YEARS watching this man every single weekday listening and watching him in action. I am incredibly thrilled to know that I can once again enjoy his presence (watching or not) and his precision interviewing acumen tackle important issues. In this era of a trump 2.0 regime, we need important, experienced voices that can have relevant conversations that can pack a punch. Tavis delivers. Consistently.

Tavis Smiley is a great way to hear what the networks aren’t telling you. I used to listen to Ezra Klein; then I learned about Tavis when he interviewed my seminary’s president. Now Tavis has my ear. He does his work with dignity for all and an appreciation of the worth of each person, just because they are human. I can’t put it like Tavis does, but he does it superbly. Not that Ezra Klein doesn’t do that too, but I find Tavis’s perspective and his guests more helpful.

Great podcast. But I have been having trouble downloading all of the ones from 2024.

Haven’t been able to download an episode for over a week. It keeps saying the episode is temporarily unavailable. I am able to download all other podcasts I listen to.
