“Why does this show exist? Unclear! What is it about? Unclear! Conspiracies? Gaza? UFOs????
Interviews with Maggie Haberman and Vivek Ramaswamy were amateur at best. But that is because Ben and Nayeema are not journalists. I am not sure what they are. Maybe that is a good question for the show...”Read full review »

“It’s encouraging to see a show examining the media—long overdue given its role in shaping our understanding of the world. Ben and Nayeema are each terrific, and terrific together as co-hosts.”

“Through three episodes I love the way these two hosts (an Max!) explain different stories and how they were covered, but I feel like the interviews are extraneous and less informative than hearing what Ben and Nayeema have to share as far as experience an analysis. Lose the interviews and make...”Read full review »

“For anyone interested in the media biz, this is unlike any other show or podcast. It’s by media insiders who don’t give you the conventional wisdom or media line. It’s unfiltered and honest. And that is refreshing.”

“You seemed to have started a conversation whilst your guest had not yet completed his answer to a question posed. Was that a technical issue or an expression of disdain for your quest’s views? Please clarify. Great show, second episode.

“This held so much promise since Semafor Media is stellar at reporting the underreported news but this horrible “how clever are we” talkfest is like overhearing college kids trying to outsmart each other at the back of a lecture. Unless this podcast offers something beyond dissecting the same...”Read full review »

“Nayeema and the other guy’s interview with Vivek was a model for main stream media interviewers. Also, to Vivek, giving unsolicited career advice to an accomplished woman is very on brand. Never stop.”

“In an age where reporting of the news can be so heavy, it’s refreshing to have a new concept that dives into weekly media stories through the lens of a refreshing media concept. Ben and Nayeema have great organic chemistry as hosts and are a joy to listen to. I especially like the end of each...”Read full review »

“I really enjoyed the dynamic between Ben and Nayeema, their conversation was pleasant to listen to. Most importantly, though, they did not accept false or inflammatory statements from their interview guest, Vivek Ramaswamy. They pushed back and explained the context of his misleading statements.”

“I’ve been a fan of Nayeema’s and it’s great to see that she’s hosting her own show. How the media explains the world to us is a big and complex challenge and we’ll all be better for her efforts.”

“Smart hosts and interesting guests for their first episode. The hosts definitely held their own with the feisty (perhaps a tad bit arrogant) Vivek. And I loved the and interesting facts mixed with fun banter at the end during the “blindspots” segment.”

“Ben and Nayeema bounce conversation off each other like old friends catching up. This podcast is easy listening and I feel like I take away a new view on topics I deeply follow that I would not have thought about before. The media is a strange place, born to make money but left for dead in its...”Read full review »
