If you must....
I spent several months listening to every edition of this podcast. I stopped. Leonard Lopate is NOT a brilliant interviewer. He is, on his best day, half the interviewer Terry Gross is. He jumps around from question to question with little to no segue. He seems so impressed with himself and any knowledge he might have on whatever subject he's covering that day that I can't believe his guests don't get more frustrated with him than they seem to. That doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to this podcast--you really don't have any other good choices for this kind of interview show on podcast. Just don't let yourself think this is as good as it gets.Read full review »

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 than come flying towards me as an ever growing deluge. Necessary, interesting, well done.

Hari Kondabolou is super sharp, not afraid to gently challenge his guest (see Amy Chua interview) and is legit funny. I feel like I learn a lot by listening to him. Really hope WNYC will make sure to lock him down in a regular spot!

Lopate is the brightest of interviewers, no doubt. You're constantly scratching your head at how he's so knowledgeable about every topic he discusses. He's liberal, so we don't get the conservative side from his show. That's my only real complaint.Read full review »
