“Every episode of LA is worth listening to. There’s always some really interesting insight to take away. Always something to change how you think about the world. Can’t recommend it enough.”

“This pod is a wonderful case study in group think and the narrowing collective mind of the liberal Left. This pod starts from the presumption that the politics of its listenership are woefully underrepresented and increasingly under siege. Empirically, the exact opposite is in fact the case, but...”Read full review »

“Neil Denny simply has palpably zero ego. he invites really good guests and asks them sharp and incisive questions. it has run for a really long time now - more than 10 years and it remains in my top 3 pods.”

“Books, music, and science I would never know about otherwise. Well interviewed, but some of the audio is very bad -- even the alleged studio pieces. If you can get past that, they're worth the time.”Read full review »

“God only knows (and He’s dead) why Neil thought the repetitive intro music needed to run on for sometimes minutes at a time. But Neil just does what Neil does and that is part of his quirky charm. A very interesting podcast.”

“This is a fantastic podcast but is let down massively by its poor audio quality. The interviews often sound as though they’ve been recorded in a potholing cave and one has to strain to hear what’s being said. It seems a terrible shame that such great interviews are let down for the want of...”Read full review »

“If you ever felt inclined to a more sceptical worldview, little atoms is your place to go. There is only one problem: after most episodes, I find another book on my pile of must reads. And as they are a weekly podcast it is difficult to keep up.
Go and subscribe, you will not regret it.”
