Amanpour - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Thoughtful and wide ranging discussions, Christiane and team bring different perspectives to play across both contemporary and historical topics, covering current events through to arts and culture. The diversity covered makes this a refreshing alternative to mainstream contemporaries who tend to surrender to the repetitive topics dominating today’s media. Thank you for doing what you do.

Your interview with Dr. Monica Gandhi was more informative than any COVID discussion I’ve heard. She quoted from well-respected research in international medical journals and revealed that the recent guideline confusion was a “messaging” error rather than a scientific one. Unfortunately, her microphone did not amplify her voice clearly.

Christiane leans into the hard questions. She speaks to the whole person and puts the moment into a wider context. More often than not, she has lived that context through interviews she’s had on the subject in another time and place. She uses a vernacular of words and facial expressions that minimizes the distance between her, the guest and the viewer. For me, she’s a keeper.

Well researched and up to date, never shy to correct guests if they offer incorrect or outdated information. This program provides excellent coverage and insight to the most pressing issues.
