  • Kris Boyd for the win

    My mother came up with Terry Gross; much as I love her, Kris Boyd is my Terry Gross. I love her every interview. Boyd brings a perfect balance of intelligence and empathy, cutting to the meat of a story with sharp questions and building a rapport with her guests that is deeply impressive. She elevates my week and enriches my mind, in a way that feels like entertainment rather than work. Thanks to KERA’s Think I am constantly learning about subjects way out of my normal range of interests, and th... more

  • great podcast, horrible audio

    Can you get a professional audio engineer to oversee your production? The podcast sounds as if the host is under water or speaking into a pillow. Really hard on the ears.

  • Always one sided conversation

    I listened 100s of Episodes. Kris is extremely talented on formulating her questions and dissecting a topic and make her guests explain their books or their knowledge to the point where the whole episode could be considered as intelligent book summary. BUT she is always one sided especially anything Palestine anything Gaza anything white vs black anything LGBT anything Democrats over Republicans. She favors blacks over whites, Israelis over Palestinians, sis-man (in her terminology) over queer m... more
