All Of It - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Alison is in the know about almost anything cultural. I appreciate how much I am able to learn about our city and culture at-large thanks to her show.

Love Alison Stewart and this show. She’s a great interviewer and makes even the most mundane-sounding subjects interesting along with her well-chosen guests!

Wonderful interviewer, Alison‘s questions are fresh and thoughtful. She brings a lot of energy to this time slot from Get Lit to I Need a Minute. Keep up the good work!

I just listened to Alison’s five-part interview with James Birdsall, author of “James Beard: The Man Who Ate Too Much.” I have some his later cookbooks, and will pull them out again, trying NOT to eat too much! Alison clearly does her homework, and never upstages her guests. She has been a terrific addition to the WNYC daytime hosts!

Alison Stewart invites people to call in to the show and then she ignores what they say completely saying “thank you for your call” and she moves on to the next caller right away. At times it’s awkward at other times it’s insensitive. In addition to this her interview style is stilted and unnatural. Her guests are all high caliber and interesting but she almost always stumbles and seemingly has difficulty truly engaging. I listened daily for more than a year hoping she would improve but she has not, I’m sorry to say that I wish they would replace her. At the very least please stop taking call ins! It’s painful to listen to and I now turn off WNYC when she comes on and return to listening when her show is over.

I see many others have said this, but I usually find myself tuning out of this show on the radio. Allison is not a good host or interviewer. I find myself most insulted when she attempts to empathize or sympathize with guests. It’s generic at best, fake sounding at worst. She also regularly screws up guests names. A lot of the topics feel pretty lowest common denominator but I think if there was just a different host it would be a much better show.
