Bad Host, Good Guests
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 unnatural. Her guests are all high caliber and interesting but she almost always stumbles and seemingly has difficulty truly engaging. I listened daily for more than a year hoping she would improve but she has not, I’m sorry to say that I wish they would replace her. At the very least please stop taking call ins! It’s painful to listen to and I now turn off WNYC when she comes on and return to listening when her show is over.

Meh
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.

it’s all surface. Interview questions are mostly fluff and obvious. I never learn anything from time spent listening. I expect more from public radio.
