United Kingdom2 days ago - Lost Their Way
We have listened to these podcasts for several years, but it seems like Steven Dubner and the team have lost their way and started doing shows that are just not interesting to my demographic. Maybe that is intentional as they target a different group, but they certainly lost me as a regular listener and subscriber. more

United States2 days ago I learn so much about the world through this podcast. Thank you, Steve!
Podcast Addict13 days agoroslyndjoy- If I could listen to only one podcast, this would be it (apologies to Preet Bharara)
Of all the podcasts I listen to, this is the one that is most likely to leave me thinking and the most likely for me to bore people with “I heard on a podcast that. . . .” I listen to every episode because I have learned that I enjoy even the ones that don’t sound like they will interest me. We need more interviewers like Steven Dubner. He presents experts on both sides of an issue, presses both with hard questions, and is invariably kind and polite.
