Reviews

4.1 out of 5 stars from 2.4k ratings
  • Interesting guests but horrible host

    David Marchese is a remarkably poor host and interviewer. I stopped listening to this podcast because it is a distinctly uncomfortable listening experience. Lulu Garcia-Navarro is good though (hence two stars rather than… zero?). Please, NYT, get a different host!

  • Eh, not what I thought.

    The Senator Alex Padilla interview was…whiny. I’m not sure if it was the interviewer or the senator that was more cringy. He interrupted her multiple times and came across as a poor listener. This is what’s wrong in our country. Jamming agendas down throats, both sides. Hope he gets better at his delivery and interactions because I would not vote for him after based on this interview alone.

    I’ll give it a few more tries but definitely better interview podcasts out there right now.

  • Reese Witherspoon Surprised Me

    Ms. Witherspoon came across as an articulate business person who knew how to use her voice and mind to become a savvy leader. Her comments on parenting rang true, as did her reflections on maturing as a person. Great interview!

  • Bold, insightful questions

    The Cameron Crowe interview was fantastic and the first episode I heard. The questions demonstrated deep knowledge of Crowe, and the interviewer asked boldly critical questions toward the end rather than just softballs. I will listen to more episodes.
