  • Mixed at best

    I find these podcasts to be perpetually confusing. Of the three I’ve listened to, I abandoned 2 in disgust and held one to the end. more

  • High level interviews from a range of political theorists and democracy experts. Inevitably a US perspective but covers writings, authors and case studies from around the world. A fantastic way to get an overview of big thinkers on democracy.

  • For anyone interested in democracy, especially democratic theory, this is an excellent podcast. Mostly interviews with academic authors, but always with people who speak the language and have lived in the countries they study. Historical perspective as well as current events.

  • Insightful every time

    Insightful conversations every week. A great resource for political scientists.

  • It’s fine

    Brings in good interviewees and conducts fine interviews. But the host has limited understanding of social science research, which was most on display in the rather shallow “democracy measures” discussion that did not touch on the basics of measurement validity.
