Alan Alda is a great actor, a wonderful conversationalist, and a beautiful human who cares. It comes through in every episode.

I’ve supported Alan Alda’s work for years. In fact I still have the recording when he recorded my voice mail! 😀

Alan has great guests, asks interesting questions, and the show has a wonderful conversational tone that will have you feeling like a fly on the wall. Myriad topics and loosely themed seasons make for a well-rounded series where there's always something to keep you interested. Catch one here...Read full review »

Alan is always prepared and listens carefully to his guest. Charles Duhigg’s insights into communicating with others and Alan’s experiences created a fascinating conversation.

Could there be two more incredible minds in one place at the same time? 🤯🤯 GIVE IT A LISTEN! Thank you, Mr. Alda, for ALWAYS being such a beacon of reason in an ocean of static. You seem to always deliver the goods with this podcast; bringing us a civilized and thoughtful dialog on the state of...Read full review »

Alan has fascinating guests and does an outstanding job of interviewing them.
glimadoll via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/28/24
It’s so refreshing to listen to a beautifully produced podcast that is equally informative and entertaining. Alan is an excellent host and asks questions that the normal person is thinking about. Also I appreciate the guests aren’t the usual Hollywood people but scientists, writers and all...Read full review »

Loved this conversation. Much to process. Wish I had been bright and courageous enough to have these insights when my family was young.

Brilliant….my favorite podcast!
Pen4321 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/23
I highly recommend this podcast! Alan Alda’s interview style is brilliant. He asks intelligent guests questions that receive fun, surprising answers. Opened doors of my brain that I hadn’t realized were shut. Take a listen!
RespectisGood via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/23
If you only listen to one podcast, this should be the one. Alan Alda is an engaging interviewer (of course) with a variety of guests and compelling topics covered in a pleasant conversational style. Very clear and vivid indeed. I learn so much listening. And I love the 7 questions!
mittsykat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/23
The producers of this show put together interviews with people I’ve never heard of, about complex topics I can barely fathom - yet somehow in the skilled hands of the one and only Alan Alda it’s captivating, fascinating, and fun! Each episode is a painlessly enlightening nugget that makes me...Read full review »

There is nobody like Alan Alda who can conduct interviews with philosophers, scientists and authors. He engages with the topic and makes me question my world. I usually laugh out loud—The interviews are delightful even though the topics are quite serious.
katep3000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/23
So often thought provoking and on topics not usually within my realm of reading.. I love being challenged by the guests, topics and Alan’s questions. I am frequently amazed by how extensive his knowledge base is and how well-prepared he is for each episode. An absolute joy and wonder.. Thank you!
Cbandjack via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/26/23
I love this show by Alda! In the latest episode, Alan Lightman said nobody has been able to describe consciousness but this is not true. Scientists live in their own bubble and don’t realize there is a whole body of work on the study of consciousness. The great transcendence of the mind is to...Read full review »

I have enjoyed the podcast immensely. It has helped me to see things differently and to relate in different ways. I especially love the questions at the end that Alan asks.
Mediaman44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/23
I so much enjoy clear and vivid! I’m enlightened by many of the conversations, especially science based subjects. The conversation about the mice and the stomach-brain connection!
knitmaniac via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
Clear and vivid, bring stories that are educational, as well as entertaining. Alan knows how to ask the right questions to keep the conversation going. It’s just an excellent production, and I enjoy it very much.
benton798 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
What’s there to say except that Alan knows his audience. Thank you for the laughs, for making us think, and for advocating for clear communication and the sciences for all these years

That’s all.

Science is my favorite subject and I’ve had a “You tube” channel called “Gravity Max” since I’m 10. I teach people about astrophysics, astronomy, math and science with my videos that I research, write, produce, and create the graphics and music for myself. I would love to be a guest on your show...Read full review »

I recently found this and wish I would have heard it sooner. It is so wonderful that Alan is doing a podcast that is entertaining and educational at the same time. If everyone would take a few minutes every day to work on communicating better, this world could be so much better! Thank you Alan...Read full review »

Alan Alda is a national treasure! This podcast is as comforting as any of his movies, and as informative and inspiring as anything on NPR!

This is sooo informative! It’s Alan Alda so the delivery of information IS SO CLEAR AND VIVID!!!!! He needs to get Matt Parker on the podcast! I’m dying to know the answers to his questions!!!
schlenky1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/17/22
I think you should interview the co hosts "Paul and Sasha" from "Community News with Paul and Sasha" podcast. Their satirical, serial, episodic, comedy for the past 4 years is a kind of communication I would love to hear you interview them about. They have created so much great...Read full review »

Every time we listen to Clear and Vivid usually while walking on our amazing Sunshine Coast QLD Australia beaches, we are not only highly entertained but often stimulated to by ‘the Book’ or discuss and research the topic further . Sometimes we go back over the Podcast a few times with a notepad...Read full review »

I love animals and Alan ! I’m so happy he started this podcast.there’s nothing more attractive and interesting than a person that keeps seeking knowledge.
??inky via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/22
I have yet to find an episode I didn’t find deeply interesting. I was somewhat disappointed that the conversation with Ken Auletta didn’t include Woody Allen when they discussed whether reviling Harvey Weinstein means rejecting his work. It’s much easier to separate the person from the product...Read full review »

Alan Alda a wonderful interviewer -his endless curiosity is very refreshing!

Love this podcast and love Alan Alda! I have always liked science and The topics are all very interesting, but my favourites are the space ones (the Chris Hadfield ep is my fave). The science-y terminology and language that is used is somewhat simplified and this is a podcast that everyone could...Read full review »
