United States2 months ago - Tracey interview terrible
Coleman is usually intellectually curious and sensitive to logical fallacies, but he allowed Michael Tracey to assert all kinds of fallacies without any pushback whatsoever.
It is one thing to dispute the most outlandish conspiracy theories, but Tracey went way too far the other way. Tracey almost seems to make Epstein and Maxwell out as the victims. He threw out any victim claims just because of inconsistency in some of Virginia Guiffre’s past statements.

Apple Podcasts1DB-K7United States3 months ago - Epstein Interview Was Disappointijng
I was disappointed at the lack of pushback from Coleman as Michael Tracey went on a rant about the Epstein story is really just a moral panic and that Maxwell’s trial was shambolic. Tracey offered a few facts (largely insignificant in the grand scheme of things) and then extrapolates from them that Epstein et al. did nothing wrong. Tracey’s defense of JE and GM was very flimsy, highly speculative. Coleman had lots of chances to push back but never did.

Wide ranging and thought provoking discussions. Greatly enjoy the candid and honest discussion. Coleman exhibits a natural curiosity to understand all points of view, regardless of whether he is aligned with them. Being fully informed requires openly hearing all points of view and Coleman really is adept on hosting a discussion that very informing.
