Question Everything is unlike any other podcast I listen to. Brian Reed takes ideas that seem simple on the surface and explores them with remarkable depth, curiosity, and humanity. At a time when it's easy to become cynical about journalism, the show is a reminder of what great reporting can accomplish: holding people accountable while remaining genuinely open to complexity and surprise.
Apple Podcasts5TheliaJUnited States4 months ago - Good topics
Not a long time listener, only started in 2026. It’s a fun listen, usually become selective with ~60 min pods, but I have become a consistent listener because the topics (at least for 2026) seem to carry more relevance.
