“Professor Cowen has the best interview approach. Great diversity of guests and topics and yet an undertone of classical liberalism often shines through.”

“I don’t usually read economists, so I didn’t know anything about Tyler Cowen, and from what I gather from listening to most of the episodes of this pod, I probably won’t, because he seems like a typical economist douche who rushes to simplify any situation into quantifiable terms while missing...”Read full review »

“No one he interviews matches or exceeds Tyler’s breadth of knowledge and his knack for asking pertinent, interesting questions that get to the essence of the interviewee. He is a real polymath.”

“Mistakes in the judgement of character were made,
“But not by me".
Incredibly knowledgeable host *****, five stars.
Great interviewer and communicator, *****.
Yet, Poor judgment, and preparation in depth of the
alleged fraudster SBF.
Would be fair to expect that Tyler C. would admit...”Read full review »

“Fast paced, original questions, never boring. Tyler draws on knowledge from almost every field when coming up with questions.
If you like a rapid format with no faff in between questions this is the best podcast out there.”

“Tyler, the host, is incredibly knowledgeable and personable. The show’s title contains the word “conversions”, but the format is more ‘rapid fire 20 questions’ than a true conversation. The stream of questions aren’t always the most organic, but they are thoughtful and interesting.”

“Not sure I’d want to have this kind of conversation with Tyler myself, but I sure do enjoy listening to them. I admire and appreciate the variety of guests and eclecticness of the questions. Not all the topics catch my fancy, but sometimes I’m surprised by the ones that do, which to me is extra...”Read full review »

I’m always learning. It would be good to see a list of sources, references, book’s mentioned in each...”Read full review »

“I’ve started to listen to a lot of Tyler’s podcasts lately. I love the style of interviewing, bang bang bang with the questions, gets so much information out of the very wise and experienced guests. I have learnt so much.”

“Think Tyler is one of the most interesting and thoughtful thinkers alive today. I think he is a great interviewer and asks loads of outstanding questions. However, far too many of his guests are just either ill informed or purposely wrong. They make claims that can easily be disproved and it...”Read full review »

“Tyler is a Renaissance man for our times. A true polymath! And great guests, pithy questions, an extraordinary range and depth of knowledge.
But…Ray Dalio?? Why did Tyler let this uninteresting, quasi-ignorant, totally arrogant individual onto his show? Dalio is an interesting guy for his views...”Read full review »

“One of my favourite habits in listening to podcasts is finding the best hosts with whom I often disagree. Cowen is always open minded, curious, but very focused. He does not stray off on tangents like many a polymath podcast host. He is also fair to his guests and probes their ideas impartially....”Read full review »

Tyler begins the interviews without giving much of an introduction or background information on the person he's interviewing, so the listener doesn't have much context for what's being talked about.
