Interesting, data rich but leaning left.

“It’s getting more politically biased. A recent episode w a CNN host showed strong left bias, esp against Trump. Well, no shocker, it’s CNN. But even the hosts failure to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration was not what I expected. A previous episode on immigration reinforced this; must be an election year.
Too many good shows for me to just drop it. But it’s feeling like it’s run it’s course. We’ll see.
[old review]
Nearly always interesting and based on good research rather than just anecdotes or unsupported opinions. Old ones like the one on nurses, gluten and visual effects were terrific. But now new ones like google search and personal finance were even better. A few like they were mailed in, but those are mostly in the past. I have to comment on the Roland Fryer one on black america. How can you do this? You must know that any speaker who says anything against what BLM, WAPO or the others are reporting is going to be crushed. Whether I agree or not with Fryer, you and he are courageous. Good for you. Too many on the left and right have given up on journalism and objectivity in order to cater to their tribe. The ones on nurses, gluten and the visual effects industry were terrific; objective, surprising and fun. But every once in a while we get a Larry Summers (plodding and biased) or Trevor Noah (Larry without the plodding). Early on there were a few back to back that were just being mailed in and I considered unsubscribing, but they've gotten better and now this is one of my 7 go to podcasts.”Read full review »

“Their books are great. Their Podcasts are not. What I liked about the books is how they used data and statistics to show interesting and unexpected trends. Cheating by teachers, behaviour of realtors... On the podcasts, they pose the same kinds of alternative ideas, but only provide speculation....”Read full review »
