What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Moynihan has two special talents: he is interesting to listen to, and he makes the people he interviews interesting. Not a slouch, either, in how widely he’s read. His ability to be both funny and irritated is charming, too. A terrific podcast.

Joe29Smoe · Aug 2025

Really enjoying this podcast. Interesting topics with interesting guests. Moynihan is great; my only suggestion is that he interrupt his guests less. It can make the exchange choppy. Otherwise, great.

TC-14 like 6/10 · May 2025

I like how you’ve stayed pretty much the same all these years I’ve listened. I’ve lost faith in many podcasts I used to like. You have a great even-keeled style that a lot of the distortion in todays media personalities can learn from. Keep up the great job and fantastic interviews

AFX_TWN · May 2025

Great long-form discussions with great guests so far. Blends humor and serious discussions well. Production quality has some issues, but it gets a pass because it’s done live and it’s a new show.
