Black on the Air continues to be such an entertaining show. I just finished listening to the Tiffany Cross interview and it was such a delightful and warm episode. A true meeting of two curious minds with differing yet complimentary perspectives. I hope that you and Tiffany can work on a...Read full review »

You are so knowledgeable and a pleasure to listen to you. I think I first saw you on different shows & on Bill Maher. You are one of my favorites. Love your spirit. Thank you for sharing

… but it really needs an editor. Larry’s gifts and his presence as an interviewer are not being well-served. Removing the pickups and the stammering would make the pod amazing! Good editing makes a HUGE difference.

I don’t listen as often as I should. It’s always fantastic, but an hour is longer than my commute time. I can’t just sit in the car and finish the episode, can I? (Just kidding). The interviews are always interesting and are not centered on one polemic viewpoint. The host honestly wants to...Read full review »

The Nightly Show was one of my favorite shows. It ended when we needed it most! Thank you for sharing your voice with us.

Oh my goodness THAT was the best movie Mel Gibson ever made! When Larry referenced it, I wanted to jump through my phone (like The Matrix! 😂) The Film Festival episode was great! I LOVE movies! Period! Keep up the great 👍🏽 podcast !!!

Thanks Larry for another great episode. Wendy Zukerman is not a typical guest on an interview style podcast. Your openness and enthusiasm for all your guests, including Wendy, is what I most appreciate about your work. Cheers

Thanks, Larry, for this podcast. I love you. 🥰

Great interview with Sally Jenkins. The stories about athletes, performance, and the connection between the body and mind were endlessly fascinating. I look forward to reading the book. However, the comments about Dak Prescot, Naomi Osaka and other athletes regarding triggers and suggesting...Read full review »

Larry is one of the most facinatimg people in show business. Great podcast. Positive, well rounded subjects and really good guests. He is a really terrific interviewer.

I have been a fan of Larry Wilmore since the daily show, then the nightly show and many of television shows he has written for. The before said anytime on this podcast when he interviews a guest with a series, movie, play, book, podcast, his recommendations are right on. My world is changed for...Read full review »

I’ve been a fan since his Daily Show days. I love it that he’s about my age, so our memories of world events and people sync up nicely. Witty, pointed, fun, informative, and a voice I’d listen to for any purpose. 🥰

Hi Larry, love your podcast, listen all the time. On your recent podcast, I was so glad to hear you mention the PBS show “SOUL”. That was at the time, when we were starved for Black media. It’s the show that introduced me to Earth Wind & Fire! It was unapologetically black, even back then.
almentra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/23
I enjoy the podcast. Easy listening. Love his perspective on current events. Sad the app is down now 😞
Atir500 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
I have a long daily commute and cycled through many podcasts that, in most cases, can bring my internal temperature up, increase some angst, and has me playing along with how divisive our world’s become. Those pods have their place but right now - this pod is what I needed. Beyond Larry’s...Read full review »

Your discussion with Tracy McMillan was enlightening and and incredibly helpful. The two of you could easily do a advice pod together, except you shouldn't because you should be talking to all the great people you do interview on your pod! I love your take on politics, on history, on...Read full review »

Larry Wilmore is smart, funny, and talented. I love his guests and the way he discusses important topics from a perspective not always heard. I’m really enjoying the podcast.
KetoGuy2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/23
Just wanna say that LADY SINGS THE BLUES was released in 1972. Diana Ross was nominated for an Oscar in 1973. That’s 50 years ago.
michael_weho via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/23
Larry does and has it all. Podcast now part of my life. Thanks, Larry. Muy suave!
trying2Brational via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/23
Larry is the best interviewer out there! He’s able to add his own personal stories and insights without detracting from the interview and always focuses on the subject at hand without making it all about him. It’s a fine line to straddle, and Larry does it expertly. He also seems non-judgmental...Read full review »

What a great conversation. It should be a class. That was a great treat! Thanks Larry!

One of the few podcasts I listen to start to finish.
Tefera Simera via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/23
I loved Larry on Comedy Central and when I heard he wrote on the Bernie Mack and other shows it made me like him all the more. His podcast is interesting and lighthearted, yet done in a way that makes you think more deeply about a subject. He is a master of his craft. I love this podcast and look...Read full review »

Great interview. Love Van. Listened to his The Wire podcast. He keeps it real. Thanks. You, of course do a great interview.
DocLouIowa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/23
Always loved Mr. Wimore’s humor, intelligence and the way he mixes the two! The Jon Meacham episode was outstanding, much appreciation to both for the thoughtful and interesting podcast ❤️

I really miss him on tv but this is great. I enjoy his interviews a lot more long form on podcast. :)
Qwstffguhfxcvh b via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/22
When Larry’s late night show was cancelled, I was devastated! His genuine, empathetic, thoughtful, and thought-provoking approach to current events is something our society needs a lot more of. So happy to have found this podcast - I love to listen!

Thank you

Love Larry. I was a big fan of his TV show, so when it was canceled I was happy to see that he has a podcast. He usually starts the show with commentary about current events, which I love. Then he will interview someone. Nice variety of guests, all interesting. I enjoy his sense of humor and...Read full review »

Mr. Wilmore I usually find your comments interesting and inspiring. However, your perspective on the January 6 committee hearing was disappointing. It is important for us to have a record of the traitorous activities of the last president for historical preservation. It is also important for...Read full review »

The critique on billionaires is not that they made something from something. It’s that they and their supporters have been telling everyone that anyone can be a billionaire if they just work hard. We are pointing out that this is not true. You need access to resources, networks and capital that...Read full review »

Loved the way Julia broke down the russia-ukraine current situation, she made it so understandable. Plus pinches of comedy from both her and larry.
Loca44ever via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/22
A great conversation. I learned more than the many interviews she is doing now. You’re the best!
LRMH2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/22/22
Larry has for years been a fantastic enriching voice. He’s honest and doesn’t talk down cynically to people on mic that I have heard ever and that is amazing for me since he makes points.

I’m just a middle-aged white suburban mom but I am really enjoying listening to this show.

The W. K. Bell is outstanding. Loved it wish it went on longer. Brilliant
mama hart77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/22
Always enjoy Larry’s perspective. This discussion about Kamau’s documentary was so good, I sat in my car in front of my office to finish it. I didn’t want to wait.
Happier in Florida via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/29/22
This show is like hanging out with a smart, interesting, funny friend. Larry has a soothing conversational tone, he interviews a wide range of people, and his decency always shines through. I miss the Nightly Show, so I’m glad I found him here.
JMCnSmudgie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/22
In times like this, you just need to hear intelligent conversations. It is as simple as that.
Growngirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/22
I love Larry’s perspective and it makes me think about things differently. I love his intros even more than his interviews. I do like the questions he poses to his guests though. I learn something new every time I listen.
OrangeB123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/07/22
Larry gives listeners his own thoughtful commentary at the beginning of each show, about a particular current topic- just as if you were across the table from him. His guests aren’t the same celebs you hear pushing a project on so many podcasts- it’s people associated with something Larry is...Read full review »

Larry, you always share interesting thoughts and have thought-provoking people. I was therefore surprised on the Bob Costas show to hear you conflating Darwinism and Social Darwinism. One is a scientific theory and the other is a scientific theory misapplied to economics as a justification for...Read full review »
