  • Very worthwhile

    I really like this podcast. Excellent guests and well thought out questions explore a wider array of topics. Concise and not too chatty. scripted questions that the speaker is obviously prepared for (which is fine) however some follow up questions for particular answers during the interview might add another dimension

  • Pass

    I only listened to one (because of the profoundly dumb takes) so my sample size is limited. But I was surprised by the surface level, lazy tropes disguised as “investigate reporting”. I didn’t feel like they were trying to provide facts and teach listeners anything, but rather shove a premeditated agenda disguised as Q&A. There are many better options out there.
