“This podcast is an interesting idea and could be great. But the editing is not good and the hosting is hard to stand. Pleases get a voice coach or you should change the host. Very irritating and ruins the podcast.”

“An update after listening to more. It’s half of a great podcast.
Topics are terrific. Deep Fakes and Gene Drives had excellent details and insight. Unfortunately, half of the program is dedicated to wokeness, so objectivity and science is forced to leave the room in favor of how racist and...”Read full review »

“I enjoy the content of most episodes and can’t fault the choices made for content or the research but the host’s voice annoys along with his plugging for his foundation and his repeated calls to talk about a particular issue at dinners with friends.”

“Still learning at 74, I took Prof Lander’s “The Secret of Life”, the best course on EdX. Top scientist, Nobel class, but not above teaching the course himself - and so captivatingly.
I am delighted he is also doing the broader Brave New Planet, knowledge is borderless. An invaluable true public...”Read full review »

This is just a taste thing but the presenter Eric Lander’s style isn’t to my taste. He comes off as if he is...”Read full review »

“Eric - 3 stars for trying and getting some discussion going. Try having a guest who’s older than 30 for balance. Your Pollyanna appeal to do the right thing is incredibly naive. Most people already are doing fine on the internet. Your audience should be those not participating well with others...”Read full review »

“Noah needs to not let his emotions get the best of him when his interviewee expresses viewpoints different than he holds. Yelling at the judge was so tacky. Might as well been listen to a FM radio shock jock. Unsubscribe. I love Pushkin Ind podcasts but this one is not worth your time.”

“Excellent podcast! Thank you. The content is fascinating. My only recommendation is to perhaps split it in a couple of episodes (you already divided the content in chapters anyway). 1 hr was a bit too long and I had to split the listening over a couple of days (I listen to podcasts while I run...”Read full review »

“First episode’s guest: Malcolm Gladwell, a charlatan only invited there to ask questions to the pretentious Host. Really? Absolutely scripted and boring. This is not what people of the XXI century need. Somebody else will have to do the job.”

“First episode stars the charlatan malcom gladwell. Second is about how ScArY deepfakes are, which has been talked to death by ten thousand thought leaders in podcasts and YouTube. It’s also somehow an hour long even though it has nothing new to say.”
