Two-time Peabody Award–winning comedian Hasan Minhaj talks with politicians, public figures, and experts from finance to psychology to astrophysics. In a media culture dominated by certainty, Hasan leads with curiosity, doubt, and a commitment to keep his guests laughing no matter how dark the subject matter. The result is that no matter the personality or topic, we all learn something we didn’t know.

I’ve been working my way through this podcast and keep finding myself pulled in by guests I never expected to enjoy. One example is the conversation with ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero. I went in with low expectations and ended up deeply engaged from start to finish. The questions opened doors I didn’t know I wanted to walk through, and the exchange brought out perspectives I hadn’t considered.
If there’s one area that could elevate the show even further, it is allowing guests the space to complete their thoughts. Hassan brings real curiosity and sharp questions, and I can tell he is already thinking ahead. I think the conversations would grow even richer with a bit more room for the guest to land their point before moving forward. That level of active listening would match the quality of the topics and guests and take the whole experience to the next level.
Overall, it is a compelling, surprising, and worthwhile listen.

Can’t lie - I love me some Patriot Act, but this definitely helps fill the void. I don’t always get the guest choice, but Hasan always delivers thoughtful questions, witty jokes, and helpful insights. Still my fav is his interview with Mr. Wonderful - but I digress. Great live show with Ronny in DC, and keep up the great work Hasan!

Good podcast overall, informative guests. But Hasan needs to let his guests finish their thoughts before he interjects with the next point.
