The world has never been more connected. Yet never more divided. We yell at each other from inside our echo chambers. But change doesn’t happen inside an echo chamber. It’s time to get out, to stretch our legs, to step on some land mines. It's time to have an uncomfortable conversation with Josh Szeps.

Customer Reviews
Australia
Australia is probably not a real place, so you should assume that Szeps is just as fake as anything else about it. An otter with a duck bill? A anti-woke gay commentator? Obviously fictional creatures.
always worth the time
josh is one of the, if not The, best interviewers in my podcast feed. such good questions he’s not afraid to ask! & a personality that gets guests to open up.
i love the breadth of topics he’s willing to touch (although, will he venture to risk an uncomfortable convo with someone like diana rodgers, aka host of sustainable dish, the nutritionist that challenges the all-around moral superiority of vegan diets with… facts?)
he’s kind, frank, funny, patient, smart. a bit full of himself, but in the best way.
i love the genuine curiosity he brings to discussion with folks, whether he seems to be generally on the same page as them or far off. and, even more, the generosity with which he approaches others’ views. well worth a listen.
I ❤️ Szeps
Josh, from one gay Jew to another, I love you madly. Keep up the good work, and please don’t be a stranger from The Fifth Column, where you always steal the show.
