Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 76 ratings
  • This is not “Hard Fork”, that’s an NYT production

    These guys have cynically and parasitically named their show after a legit podcast, trying to draft on its success. This grossly inferior product isn’t worth listening to. Stay away. (and note the preponderance of one-star reviews - I am sure the five-star reviews are bought and paid for)
