4.7 out of 5 stars from 826 ratings
  • Love this podcast (but…)

    Really love Evan and his interview style (no changes needed there), but whoever is in charge of editing the podcast, a couple things:

    - The ads (especially the one that starts with “Great news!”) are sometimes literally in the middle of questions. Can you fix this?

    - This podcast has a much quieter sound than other podcasts on the app, so when you’re on the subway or walking in the city it’s hard to hear, even when it’s on the highest volume.

  • Amazing

    Every single interview I listen to, I catch myself thinking “what a really great question.” Evan is so good at what he does. Thoughtful, sharp, and genuinely curious in a way the conversations hit deeper than most podcasts. ❤️

  • Good content but poor sound production

    Great content that sometimes comes across as celebrity fawning/worshipping but Evan can get the most reluctant guests to open up, so maybe it works? My main issue is the sound levels are not even and oftentimes I will have to adjust the sound - it can make the show unlistenable or annoying at times.
