  • Okay

    Sometimes timely and relevant topics sometimes random interviews that Don’t really hit the mark. I have decided to unsubscribe — there are so many other Adventist podcasts to listen to with more relevant content.

  • Needs improvement

    Podcast has tremendous potential but is suffering from a couple of things. Carpenter is a poor interviewer who needs to shorten his questions and focus on the guest. His monotone style does not generate interest and enthusiasm for the audience. Certainly Spectrum could find someone with a stronger presence that matches the quality of the guests. And the audio quality is terrible. Carpenter sounds like he’s in an echo chamber and his lack of energy and clear intonation don’t help.

  • Quality Independent Adventist Journalism

    Thoughtful short interviews with a variety of leaders in Adventism and Christian thought. I especially appreciate the open position this show has in discussing controversial topics that are often avoided by other publications.
