“If I could give this podcast a rating of zero, I would, for the simple reason that none of the episodes are available to play. Why does this podcast even show up if it is not available? Aaaaaaarrrrrggghh!”

“Enjoyed this. Low key, no agenda pushed. Just an interest in hearing other thoughts around the current state of America. Respectful of different views. Worth a listen.”

“All topics, even ones you think you won't be interested in, are fascinating thanks to host David Brancaccio who is fantastic (who knew the Marketplace host was so well-rounded, thoughtful, and engaging?) My first issue is the female reader. Her voice irritates me and virtually all the stories are...”Read full review »

“This is probably favorite podcast, interesting stories; non-invasive production; great host, David Brancaccio, and great readings by Cindy Katz. I'm very disappointed it's been discontinued. I learned so much by listening. Very sad.”

“I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to each installment of the Esquire Classic podcasts. I thought the format was intriguing with an interview of the article author or knowledgeable source that went side-by-side with a reading of excerpts. I've been a fan of David since his early Marketplace days...”Read full review »

“You'll notice "loved" is past tense. There's a new editor in charge and I really dislike everything he's doing -- from the design changes to clearly trying to appeal to a younger audience. Some of the best stories that the magazine ran were when David Granger was in charge. However, I love the...”Read full review »

“Most of these stories are insightfuyl and well written. Interestingly, they're all by men but narrated by a woman, though she does bring that New York edge to things.
One niggle – they repeat episodes quite quickly, which is disappinting when hungry for more.”

“The archives of Esquire are a treasure-house of great nonfiction narrative writing. How to take some of that value and translate it for audio? I suppose you could have hired a reader to just narrate the old pieces, but that would have been pretty useless without context and commentary. The...”Read full review »

“Some great highlighting of sometimes forgotten classics. Very well executed and I like the format. Almost all eps so far have been top notch. Some thought went into this.”

“Obsessed with Podcasts and always always on the look for new ones -- usually disappointed. But this one was fantastic. Smart, thoughtful, engaging discussions on interesting people and subjects, as told through historical esquire articles. Great job. Really enjoy.”

“I’ve read Esquire since the 1970s and always appreciate the magazine’s tone and artful writing — and its willingness to explore. Now Esquire is bringing these same excellent attributes to a new medium. And its free!”

“In a world over inhabited by good media, I think it's easy to lose track of something that's not in the current cycle. I appreciate Esquire's efforts to bring iconic pieces to modern readers. Big fan of the podcast and I hope it continues.”

“The first episode with Tom Junod was powerful and well edited. I thought the balance between filling the listener in on the story while going behind the scenes was executed very gracefully. I look forward to hearing more.”

“An iconic photograph, a brilliant essay, and a great host come together to tell an emotional story. Why doesn't it work? The artifice of having someone read sections of the original article should keep the narrative moving but the abrupt change in tone and delivery is simply too jarring to be...”Read full review »
