  • Puff piece.

    Remnick’s interview with Steve Hilton offered very little pushback at critical moments — and to the minimal point that the host did, he just came off whiny. Hilton is running on “Caldoge”? Hilton (successfully) manipulates Remnick with the disingenuous (and laughable) comeback that it’s just a name. Using the name of an effort that has caused and will continue to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of less-advantaged people (i.e. without the advantages of host and guest) is not worth menti... more

  • Steve Hilton

    Usually one of the best interviewers going around but unfortunately this interview became more about his dislike of Trump. Would have been beneficial to hear what Hilton’s plans for California are rather than continually harping on Trump.

  • Transcript is useless!

    The transcript for The New Yorker Radio Hour is useless because it does not stay in sync with the conversation, but keeps running several paragraphs ahead. One has to be vigilant to manually keep them together, making it difficult to listen attentively.

  • Frequent editing errors

    They don’t seem to bother to listen to their own episodes before publishing. Having several multi minute loops per episode is a poor showing for a reputable magazine.

  • John Lithgow

    I am in a floating state of euphoria having just listened to John Lithgow.

    I first became acquainted with him in “The World According to Garp”. Living in Australia I don’t get to see him on stage. I relaxed completely listening to his mellifluous voice, his political views confirming my admiration of him.

    Thank you, Dianna.
