“Thanks for taking time to find the right person to take over the main NYC culture spot. This is how I decide how to pick the performances, films, concerts, series, podcasts, books etc that come flying towards me as an ever growing deluge. Necessary, interesting, well done.”

“I see many others have said this, but I usually find myself tuning out of this show on the radio. Allison is not a good host or interviewer. I find myself most insulted when she attempts to empathize or sympathize with guests. It’s generic at best, fake sounding at worst. She also regularly...”Read full review »

“oh how I miss Leonard Lopate. At least he could interview with some depth. This show is boring, unoriginal, and tedious. Ms. Stewart is probably a lovely person but this show is not her thing.”

“Seriously, I can’t stand this dimwit who seems to be only in her element when talking about food. She should go back to mtv or the food network. This is where she belongs. Bring back Jonathan Capehart. And please save NPR.”

Alison clearly does her homework, and never upstages her guests. She has been a...”Read full review »

“Alison Stewart invites people to call in to the show and then she ignores what they say completely saying “thank you for your call” and she moves on to the next caller right away. At times it’s awkward at other times it’s insensitive. In addition to this her interview style is stilted and...”Read full review »

“Not for me. After years of listing all day, the addition of this show has me turning WNYC off until 2pm.
I tried to enjoy it but it is too “lite” on subject matter and interview ability to listen to.
Maybe improve content and depth of interview skill and I would reconsider.”

“Been giving this show more than its share of chances, particularly because I’m a sustaining member of WNYC. But this tripe doesn’t measure up to what I expect from NPR. The intro “music” is simply atrocious. Secondly, the host Allison trips over her words. Her thoughts are disjointed and, more...”Read full review »

The guests are just not that broadly interesting and the host does not do a good job asking questions that reveal why the audience should care about their work....”Read full review »

“When it was the Leonard Lopate show it was the best. They unjustifiably removed him and turned the best two hours on radio to amateur hour. Occasionally there is a good host, but basically the show is terrible. Do yourself a favor and listen to Leonard Lopate @ Large on iTunes.”
