Longer is better
I find the shorter podcasts -- less than 1:20 -- almost worthless; even frustrating. The topics are always quite interesting but too complex for brief treatment. The speakers are (with few exceptions) well informed, cogent, wonderfully articulate: a joy to listen to. But a one-hour (or less) format means very few points on each side ever get raised, and none properly rebutted. So what, with more time, could be a satisfying intellecutual exchange ends up a frustrating collage of quips and sound bites.

I like the ones with one-on-one interviews and lectures the best. The debates can be fun but not very informative.

I love listening to this podcast when I'm not busy or even just relaxing after a long day. IQ2 deserves five stars!Read full review »

Well prepared experts debating on big topic ideas. A refreshing podcast that does its part to satiate a hunger for knowledge.
