“The messages you selected in the mailbag episode articulated most of what I have felt. I appreciate the three of you, the conversations, the company for so many years. I will miss you every Wednesday. Good luck.”

“Thank you all! The hosts themselves have incredible books/projects/podcasts. I would read the website nightly and devoured the curated pieces as a special treat. The authors interviewed of course were also excellent and I bought so many books from this podcast- and they were all 10/10 life...”Read full review »

“You’ve been a favorite podcast of mine. I’ve felt like I’ve been able to keep up with good long form stories and writers without having to do all the work of reading them. Maybe you’ve made it too easy. Anyway. Best success in your future endeavors. You are excellent interviewers.”

“A really thoughtful podcast. The hosts are adept at interviewing, and seek to tease out not just how people reported a particular story or find out about their journalistic process, but attend to the ways of thinking and feeling that underpin the desire to tell a particular story, the things they...”Read full review »

“Half the time I listen to a longform episode, I don’t even recognize the name of the person interviewed. But within 5 min, I’m captivated by their experiences, their writing career, and totally inspired to work harder on my own reporting projects!”

“I think Ms Chalabi does some great work. I have followed her for several years and I am always impressed. I do wonder though. I did not see any graphics on the massacres that just occurred in Darfur. Arabs killing nearly whole Masalit villages. Not a great interview. I did not see any...”Read full review »

“I’m a long time listener of Longform. I think the journalism is generally fantastic and while all the hosts are excellent Mac Linsky is especially great- up there with Terry Gross in terms of interviewers.
The Mona Chalabi episode was not good and I’m hoping this was an unfortunate misstep of...”Read full review »

“They’ve obviously run out of interesting people to interview. For the past year or so it’s like their guest selection has been “I guess this person will do”. They sold their souls to the devil when they stopped the Longform recommendations and partnered with Vox media.”

“1) Hosts are skilled at asking follow up questions that take their guests ever deeper. 2) No host egos on display; focus is exclusively on the guest, and what he or she has to say.”

“I love this podcast and look forward to new episodes. I’m frustrated that women writers are featured significantly less than male writers. Sometimes listeners have to wait nearly two months to hear a woman speak on the show. I choose not to listen frequently because I want to hear the...”Read full review »

“There is too much mouth noise and I can’t listen even tho I really want to hear the interviews. Can you use different mics or mix it differently or sit back from the mics? Idk what would help but it’s tough to listen to with all the mouth noise”

“This podcast is thoughtful. The interviewers sometimes ask difficult questions, questions I would never have thought to ask and go deep. Sometimes this is laugh out loud entertaining, sometimes deeply emotional. 97% of the episodes hit the spot. It is rare that I stop listening to one once I have...”Read full review »
