“I’m ok with taking political sides, but spending 45 minutes calling all republicans authoritarian seems to be a bit much for me.”

“I have to ask if I Have to Ask is aware of the existence of a pool of potential guests who AREN’T successful white men. Dry as dust and just as appetizing - I tasted, considered, washed it down with a bit of good wine and left the rest on my plate, unfinished and bound for the podcast dustbin.”

“This perspective, though often in depth, is thoroughly a white cis male perspective. If you’re looking for reasons we maintain the status quo, it’s a good show. If you’re looking for interesting insights that are inspired by PoC, women, non binary folks... not here.
It feels like the white...”Read full review »

“My boyfriend likes this podcast so much he made me leave a review because he refuses to use Apple products but wanted to leave one because they keep asking. He loves his show, likes Isaacs manner, thinks interviews are great and had been getting better and better. Good work guys!!”

“Chotiner is a cringe-inducing interviewer. He confuses intelligent dialogue with pointless querulousness in nearly every episode—see his recent boorish conversations with Laura Kipnis, David Frum, and Katie Roiphe. He thinks and talks with the clueless liberal arrogance that makes...”Read full review »

“Your mileage with this podcast will depend on how much you can stand Isaac Chotiner. Since he constantly interrupts his interviewees and is very opinionated (the hardheaded type), I’ve really liked some interviews and hated others.
It’s something to have as a backup interview with a certain...”Read full review »

“This podcast has quickly become a favorite of mine. I find Mr. Chotiner’s interview style very appealing- he’s personable while asking thoughtful, deep diving questions. I’ve gained a great deal of insight from listening to the variety of guests interviewed here and would recommend the podcast to...”Read full review »

“I look forward to the release of this podcast every week. I enjoy Isaac’s interview style. He has a clear direction but he’s willing to “dance” with the subject when necessary. And the caliber of guests has been impressive. Keep up the good work! It’s appreciated.”

“Listened to the Mark Lilla interview. Interviewer couldn’t corral his college dorm room debate style long enough to conduct a thoughtful interview. He was constantly challenging Lila’s thesis in ways the betrayed extreme unwillingness to see the Dem. problem at a higher level of discussion.
His...”Read full review »

“Keep up the great work! I re-listened to the George Saunders episode today after learning that he was awarded the Man Booker Prize and loved it all over again. Thoughtful questions, interesting people and some great insight. Thanks! Just what I needed on my commute!”

“I appreciate Chotiner being willing to push back against his guests' claims, but he comes off as too self-absorbed and petulant. Instead of seeking clarity, he wants to dominate the conversation. In his talk with Lilla, he makes a lot of excellent challenges which add nuance to the...”Read full review »

“I disagree with Musicology man. I thought this was excellent, one of Chotiner's best. After hearing Lilla being interviewed by NPR and the New Yorker, I was predisposed to see his side of the argument: Democrats have caved into identity politics and, because of this, have lost their way. Yet...”Read full review »

“I just listened to Chotiner's interview with Mark Lilla. While Your Host closed the interview by thanking his guest for debating him, it wa hardly a debate. Rather, Chotiner consistently missed Lilla's larger argument as well as a number of subsidiary points his guest was attempting to...”Read full review »

“Chotiner is simply a wonderful host. He knows how to have engaging, probing conversations with his guests that feel anything but pat. I even enjoyed his conversation with Andrew Sullivan, whom I find mostly intolerable. My only gripe is that it feels too short, I would love for the show to be...”Read full review »

“I'm a huge fan of Isaac's Slate interviews and really looking forward to this podcast. He's funny and sharp and asks thoughtful and probing questions when most in the media are looking to either fawn or score points. Schumer interview was great and I look forward to the next episode.”Read full review »
