“For obvious reasons, this subject is hugely important, not to mention heartbreaking in terms of how we treat animals. So why do the women — both interviewer and interviewee — laugh throughout that segment? Is there some weird need to lighten the mood? I know a lot about this subject but was still...”Read full review »

“Interviewers fall into neoliberal ideological traps and often fail to understand their guests. Basic climate podcast, check out Hot Take if you want actual climate reporting.”

“Factory farming needs reforming but this series has chosen to separate it from the growing research on the negative effects of grains and sugar on humans in the form of obesity and diabetes that are epidemic now. I suggest a series on the ketogenic diet and also on regenerative agriculture. The...”Read full review »

“Factory farming is a matter of workers’ rights, consumers’ safety and, of course, animal welfare. It all remains sugar-coated in this podcast, but at least the many challenges to true reform are being acknowledged. No one wants to hear that they have to really change their buying/consumption...”Read full review »

“The Paradox on Our Plates ended on such a blandly positive note that I actually feel alright about my choice to keep eating meat. I try to buy “ethically raised” stuff — organic, free-range, grass-fed, etc etc — but I know that this isn’t truly possible at the price I’m paying (my brother runs a...”Read full review »

“What do we have to do to get mainstream media on board with opposing/exposing the meat industrial complex? Why are people so afraid to touch the topic of meat?
Have loved Future Perfect in previous seasons and am excited to keep listening. Keep challenging us!”

“At around 11:20 there is a glitch in the episode “Your PTA va equality” where it skips a big chunk, at least that’s how it is on my end and I’ve checked in 3 or 4 times! I’m super interested in the topic please fix.”

“This podcast used to be about how to most effectively improve the world. But in 2020 it changed directions. It stopped discussing evidence-based methods for improvement and turned to so-called spiritual figures.

“The first episode of the new season was a bit disappointing. I don’t think that Valerie Brown answered most of Sigal’s questions and so much of interview was hoisted by Sigal’s own insight, interpretation, etc. She could’ve done the thing by herself. I hope things get better. I’m a such an avid...”Read full review »
