I think Aarti Shahani is a very talented interviewer, and she gets her guests to reveal more than I think I have ever heard from any other interviewer.

Engaging interviews with an interesting, diverse cast of people.

Can’t stop listening to this podcast! The guests have excelled in wildly varied fields, but Aarti keeps each episode focused on what is teachable from their journeys. She’s a warm but probing interviewer who can elicit new info from familiar figures. My fave guest so far is Audrey Tang, who blew...Read full review »

I rarely save podcast episodes and I’ve saved four so far from Art of Power—the interviews with Sal Khan, Robyn Arzón, Audrey Tang, and Daria Kaleniuk were particularly moving and superb. Thanks for a tremendous body of work so far, Aarti and team.

A podcast for those who created their own table to sit at. Interviews with current impresarios and activists who seek to empower their fellow human family instead of themselves. If you have ever wanted to get to know former "Roe v. Wade" attorney Gloria Allred or Hollywood script scout...Read full review »

What an inspiring episode 😊
Scbubaby via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 03/31/22
Often has guests I’ve never heard of, but offers insightful perspectives on amazing things these people are doing. This is becoming one of my favorite must hear podcasts.

Hmmm…great challenge WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO FIX THIS BROKEN WORLD? …starting a few months ago I bring a plastic bag on my morning walk to pick up litter…it’s a start…

I really enjoy this show. In this crowded podcast space, it’s refreshing to have a women leading the conversation who is also a person of color, and who is knowledgeable about both immigrant and working-class lived experiences. I suspect these are just some factors in what helps drives...Read full review »

The most recent one was about a black community organizer who had started a movement to help black girls. As a white woman, the biggest insight for me was how the community protected men who had abused black women and girls. The interview also covered other topics including how this woman...Read full review »

This is a great podcast with down to earth lessons from a variety of guests who are honest to talk about their failures as well as their secrets of success. I always take away lessons from each episode. Thank you Aarti!
Vickwigg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/21
I love that this show focuses on power as a tool for change, not a whip to use on others. I’m surprised at how rarely activists and communities talk about power — power is central to community and social justice organizing. This podcast highlights that.
ClevelandJoel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/08/21
By far the most engaging podcast out there. I loved listening to Aarti when she was on NPR, and she’s even better (if that’s possible) here. What an interviewer! And what guests! I particularly love her summation of three takeaways at the end of each show.
Bach lady via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/21
Aarti is whip smart and deftly holds her own with the best of the best. Whether it’s deep thinkers or deep emotional dives, she asks great and insightful questions that elicit great and insightful answers. I always learn something about the person she’s interviewing, even if I think I already...Read full review »
LindaVee002 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/21
I’m only a two episodes in, but this has already become my favorite podcast discovery in recent memory. The interviews are intensely interesting with the show’s unique focus on “power,” how it manifests and how those with their own feel about it. Aarti Shahani’s approach to interviewing is very...Read full review »

I love this podcast. I look forward to it every week and whenever I get a chance I listen to it with my kids in the car. It’s educational to me and it is inspiring for my kids. Authentic, sincere and to-the-point. Keep up the good work!
ParMo123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/21
Soooo in love with your podcast. So far my favorites are Girls who Code, Khan & Mean Girls. First off Thank you for putting this together and thank you for speaking your truth!
Kel9255 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/21
This is a fantastic interview podcast! The host is confident, fearless, and so so smart, along with having a great “radio voice.” Her questions are probing and thoughtful and seem to bring out the most interesting parts of her guests. Her bullet-point-style ‘lessons learned’ at the end of the...Read full review »

Loved hearing my first episode on NPR’s Consider This and have since subscribed. President Obama shared great into his life as President, father, and storyteller. Excited for future episodes.

Loved the episode with Sal! Khan Academy saved me before and during the pandemic as a teacher. Was great to hear his perspective on education and learning. Awesome host that asked really great questions!

Aarti’s interview style is familiar and disarming. You can sense her guests exhale and relax as she explores their story. She’s a rare talent.
esheff6868 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/21
Her interview style is smart, zero obsequious and challenging — the definition of empowered
Tomvvd via Apple Podcasts · Colombia · 05/17/21
I am absolutely blown away by Aarti’s interview bada$$ery. As she was asking really meaningful and probing questions, I kept thinking wow, she is talking to the former President of the U.S. and she is FEARLESS. She just exudes poise, confidence and owns her place in the conversation with no hint...Read full review »

If you want to learn about power from the winners and sometimes losers, this is the show!!!! I am loving it!
Morena 75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/21
The interviews are in-depth and reveal the unique approach of each interviewee on how they became a leader, even though that was not why they followed the path they did. It was their passion that directed their journey.
cgsystems via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/21
Wow. This is great. Original interviews with people I really want to know about. I’m learning so much and I love the hosts friendly but so insightful questions. I can’t wait to see who comes up in the weeks to come. They changed the world - so can I :)

I just discovered your podcast with the MARY Trump interview. I’m impressed by your mindfulness and insightful interrogatory style! It’s not easy to do what you do, and while I recognize that edits are de rigueur in the industry, your podcast flowed seamlessly and seemed effortless. I know...Read full review »

I love Art of Power! Aarti is a fantastic interviewer and she talks to a wide range of intriguing subjects. It is honest and always leaves you feeling inspired and more powerful.

Aarti is such a master storyteller and interweaves the political and personal so movingly.
Sonya Soni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/13/21
In the words of the host: Hey, this is quality, this is worth your time! Excellent food for thought, creating better understanding and making humanity better one step at a time.
ImpIrecal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/21
The people featured have accomplished a wide range of incredible things. But they’re shown as real people with their own challenges and vulnerabilities. And that is what makes each episode powerful and really valuable!
Ju-kay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/12/21
Subscribed! Really enjoyed the deep dive into the story and development of those who shape our world!
Mimia24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/21
Very well presented. Story telling makes a simple message reverberate- “no human-being is illegal”
Enjoy-World-News via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/21
These first few podcasts are WOW 🤩. Aarti interviews these people who have had profound impact on the world with refreshing candor, and grounded in their stories — the tactics and the strategies. Let’s go!! 🔥
criech via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
I love the take away ‘power’ lessons that Arti Shahani summarizes at the end of every episode.
AI Sri via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
Love this podcast... just subscribed! Fascinating conversations about how people choose to use their POWER. A unique perspective on CHANGE and INFLUENCE. Everyone in this position (and those who want to be!) should be listening.
econ podcast junkie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/21
First episode shows the thoughtlessness of the host and editorial team. It's never ok to deadname a trans person, especially without even acknowledging that's what you're doing and why. Did they have permission from Isabel to deadname her? No one knows because they didn't address...Read full review »

(Literally) sounds like a master storyteller has assembled an ace team for this podcast.

Aarti Shahani is NPR’s rising star for a reason, and it really shows here! This is already a must-listen podcast.
Kautilya's Disciple via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/26/21
Episode 1 has set the bar for Aarti and Art of A power: inspiring, emotionally moving, reconnecting us with the humanity within us all. Great conversation! So very much looking forward to more this season 🤗
