Customer Reviews
Older Shows Were Better
When Jad and Robert first started the show, it was incredibly refreshing, provably the best show on radio. Complicated ideas were presented in accessible bites. Even though Jad probably came up with most of the good ideas from day one, Robert provided a common sense counterbalance. It told a lot of important stories that people needed to hear. But then the show, especially since the new hosts took over, just got really self-conscious, and have become more like psychotherapy sessions. I’m all for psychotherapy but there are excellent podcasts for just that purpose. Not saying the new shows are all bad… can we just stick to telling good stories about science or social issues and less about the hosts. Still a great show but the older shows were better.
A wealth of inside an information
David Remnick is a brilliant fair minded interviewer and this program is a wealth of inside and information. One of our favorites. Thank you.
Conflicted
I’ve been enjoying this podcast but recently did further research into the publication and read questionable press coverage surrounding Clare Malone and The New Yorkers journalistic integrity. Rating low since it’s painful to read how this publication interferes with poc narratives that amplify our issues and pave way for representation. Host David remnick is great but it feels morally wrong to support the New Yorker now
