United States5 months ago One of the most insincere sounding hosts I've ever heard. I don't think it's his fault but definitely tough to listen to. Saying the interviewees name just a touch less frequently would go a long way.

Al is surely one of the best / most informed interviewers in the biz

United Kingdoma year ago - The Best Interviewer In the Game
Hands down the best. Al’s questions and observations are always sophisticated and resonate with audiences expert and novice. I especially appreciated the September 5 interview, which was handled with much more nuance and acknowledgement of the ongoing issues than I could have been. I may have no sympathy for Palestine and their barbarian tactics and culture, but I appreciate that the interview was conducted to sway in nether direction, which is essential for journalism.
Apple Podcasts5ArethaBoomUnited States2 years ago - Please Stop.
I have listened to and loved this podcast for years. I come here to escape the world news media insanity political opinions of every one etc… and now this is slipping into that and out of the purity of scripts, film and writing.
We don’t want ANY of your ideology or narrative pushed on us as subtle as you may think you’re doing. It’s not. Please keep it neutral on point and welcoming to all people.
