This podcast is a huge help for getting my life together tbh. Not only has it made me a better person but it’s interesting enough to keep me committed to my goals without dying of boredom. Thank you for introducing me to so many amazing people. Thank you for keeping me entertained on my daily walks and when I’m traveling. You’re successful for a reason don’t listen to haters.

I have been listening to DOAC for a few years now really became entranced in his podcast after seeing Steven Bartlett on the Colbert Show (which I deeply miss these days). Steven is absolutely brilliant, kind, thoughtful with his questions and super insightful with his follow up.
And there have been so many other topics that have been so intriguing, topical and like a great book, just hard to put down, or this case, stop listening to. You’ll never regret following this podcast if you even a remotely curious person. You’ll always learn something, get insight on things you had no idea about, and time after time - MANY aha moments.
I recently listened to the podcast about the EX-CIA agent: What Spies know about human nature. The last couple of minutes are bone-chilling. It makes you realize we are not as safe as we think we are and we are always being listened to, at least potentially. That’s scary because I post a LOT of stuff politically because I absolutely despise our current administration. And apparently all or any of it can be used against you if someone wants to do so. Does that mean I’;; stop speaking out? Hell no. I’ve been an activist since 2003, prior to and during the Iraq war. And that’s not likely to end anytime soon.
Just listen, you’ll love it!!

This podcast has become one of my favorites!! I love the variety of topics that are so relatable and relevant. There are so many to choose from that I am encouraged to walk longer, drive further, so that I can continue to listen. Thank you for the variety!

I don’t recall how I stumbled upon this podcast, but I’ve been listening to Steven’s interviews for at least a year. The sheer variety of topics and INCREDIBLE guests is why everyone should subscribe! Listen on your commute, during a walk or while working. You are guaranteed to learn something.
And Steven, thank you for always asking the clarifying questions and never assuming your audience knows what you’re guests are talking about (acronyms, terms, etc). Keep up the good work.
Your Photo Fairy · Jul 2026
This is the second British podcast I regularly listen to, and I have to say, the repeated framing of America as a country in decline is getting tiresome. Your pointed questions about the “fall of America” often seem to come from a strangely pompous assumption that Britain somehow knows better.
America certainly has problems and deserves criticism, but so does Britain. We settled our differences a long time ago, built our own country without British intervention, and have done rather well for ourselves.
I enjoy the podcast and Steven’s interviews, which is why I continue listening. But challenging America is one thing; repeatedly approaching it from a position of British superiority is another.
That version makes your criticism much harder to dismiss as simply “an angry American.” It tells him exactly what bothers you while also making clear that you actually listen to and value the show.
Meewhom · Aug 2026
I was a big fan of this man and his thoughtful approach to his podcast as an in depth conversation to explore nuances of complex topics when he started. But it has veered into clickbait with anti-science flavoring and misogyny to my great disappointment. In the quest for rapid revenue, he has given up the core of what made him exceptional at the beginning. And the subtle and not-so subtle bashing of women by making men’s problems women’s fault is maddening. While there are still nuggets to be gleaned, the nonsense you have to wade through to get to it is not worth it. Such a shame.
