What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Love this podcast — I have listened to and read Andrew for years. Brilliant, with much heart. And I’m a former democrat, a flinty yankee centrist. Ease up with the arguing though — gets to be too strident

This is a great source of information on where the center right is! The guests are amazing, the discussion engaging, and I always appreciate Andrews take on things. I just wish that the ball interview was available without having to pay, and instead we had to suffer through advertisements to gain access to the rest of this otherwise amazing show.

surprise: it’s women I don’t blame him for this because it’s a common experience among men, sometimes especially gay men who don’t recognize that sexism is still pervasive, but I do wish he would not express so much doubt at experiences of so many of his female guests, even when they appear in multiple episodes. He really just doesn’t understand the experience of women, and when they tell him, he doesn’t believe it. That said, he does have some really interesting discussions with a diverse group of people and I appreciate hearing his take on a number of different issues. I hope he takes some time to learn in this topic. Overall I do recommend the podcast with that caveat.

I was thankful to hear a reasonable voice - Peter Staley - on trans issues. His empathy toward families with trans kids is sorely needed in our society. I urge Andrew to have parents of trans kids on his show to challenge his prejudices.

Kewaunee Gal · Jul 2022

This show has terrible audio quality. Andrew Sullivan is soft spoken, what you’d call at Low Talker on the old Seinfeld show. Andrew doesn’t need to shout but he does need an audio engineer to help improve the sound quality and sound levels. It’s a shame that a usually thoughtful show has such poor technical support.

Free Rider007 · Apr 2023

Please hire an editor/producer. What promised to be a fascinating interview, was instead a chat between two friends with lots of cross-talk, name dropping, unexplained references, insider jokes. It was like being invited to a get together over coffee and then being excluded from the conversation,.
