TRIGGERnometry - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Francis and Constatin are wonderful hosts. They do a great job asking interesting questions. They invite on a wide variety of guests with varying points of view. This is true diversity-diversity of thought. I’m a devoutly religious conservative but I appreciate hearing from a variety of thinkers and influencers. I listen to most of their interviews.

This podcast is just amazing. Each episode becomes my favorite episode until the next episode. I look forward to each episode and I am just amazed to be able to listen to really well thought out discussions. I enjoy listening to well-thought-out educated perspectives without yelling or screaming.They talk with fascinating people that me,living in the United States, have never heard of and wouldn’t have heard of except for the show. Thanks for the great show.

Very interesting guests across many topics. Hosts ask insightful questions and, importantly, allow guests to speak!

Very listenable show with lots of interesting and highly conflicting guests speakers. Not sure why the Norman Finkelstein episode was even aired, he answered none of the questions asked and kept speaking over them if they tried to ask for clarification or remind him what the question was. I know they’re extremely fair to speakers on the other side of the aisle, sometimes even more so than to the people that agree with them but that was just too much for me. They could have tried harder to keep him on track and called out some of the blatant lies and Hamas propaganda he spouted, other than that the other dozen or so episodes I listened to were pretty well put together.

The boys found fame by standing against the “woke” mob and as time went on they’ve subtly edited their definition of woke, having learned a trick or two from their ideological opponents, to mean anything that pushes against their philosophy of Anglo-centric jingoism. What was once a show that interestingly and intelligently discussed controversial issues has transformed into an advertisement for and defense of neoconservatism, which they’ve rebranded (quite wokely) as “the west” or “western values”. I find both hosts to be as uncurious and obstinate as the people they made a name for themselves by criticizing.

Too many ads in the middle of the episodes totally disrupt the flow. Unsubscribing. Lex Fridman is the only podcaster who understands this and does it right.
