  • Highly recommend listening. It is often said that the mark of intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing views simultaneously in one's mind. This podcast embodies that notion. While the host is a skilled interviewer, the value comes from his ability to recognize his own biases yet still approach each conversation with genuine curiosity and respect for the interviewee. In a time where every topic seems to be polarized, a source of open-mindedness is both refreshing and healthy.

  • Really good

    From a person who rarely takes the time to write reviews, but should, I have to complement the podcast. Specifically the episode that is little over two hours on Israel-Palistine history. The guest was very well informed very well educated very well spoken, and not jaded just by personal opinion. Very objective. Excellent podcast I have referred to by entire family now I think it should be mandatory listing for anybody. Interested in the subject right now. Excellent podcast.
