Factually! with Adam Conover

The topics are always fresh and interesting. I love the way Adam Conover has reverence for facts and his audience but gives his nuanced takes on complex issues honestly. Adam is an excellent interviewer, advocate, and an all around amazing entertainer, but more importantly this show has integrity, openness, and useful insights. Listen, learn, & laugh. As a teacher, I highly recommend this series and Adam’s other work to explore the difference in the way things are and the difference we can make in the future when we use facts and critical thinking skills along with ethical humanistic values!

I normally love Adam and this show. He often delves into topics that not everyone is talking about and his guests are normally experts in their field in some way. However, I really hated the prison abolition episode. As an abolitionist myself, I felt it barely scratched the surface of what the abolition movement really is and misrepresented the ideas behind it. It’s an odd choice to talk about abolition with someone who is not a supporter of the movement nor an expert on the topic. There are plenty of folks who would’ve been more authoritative and unbiased in this discussion. Many of whom are both scholars and former prisoners themselves. The guy you had on was not it.

Loved Adam’s show and love this podcast. Listeners who rate it low should read the summaries and pick the topics that interest them. Although occasionally I’ll listen to one I didn’t think I’d like and it keeps me interested.

Adam has thought provoking conversations with exceptional guests. Some of the most informational podcasting on the internet
