“There is a good show here without crazy politics. I have been a long time follower but had to stop. Crazy not open minded. Sad I can no longer recommend this show.”

“Steve, you are a great interviewer. I always enjoy your show, but was surprised by your recent interview with several comments disparaging American soldiers after WWII and for describing German as having strength you haven’t seen in American women. I was really struck by these statements and was...”Read full review »

“When the Freakonomics podcast first debuted with Steve Levitt as the occasional host, I always looked forward to those episodes though they became fewer and fewer over time. Levitt always said he didn’t see a future for himself in podcasting but then he embraced it and PIMA is the happy result.”

“Anyone who actually suffers from perfectionism knows (at least subconsciously!) that Curran’s definition of perfectionism (that is, not simply an adherence to high standards, but an insecurity around one’s one “deficiency” that causes one to chase perfectionism as a feeble attempt to compensate)...”Read full review »

“This is one of my top favorite podcasts ever! I am delighted by the selection of guests as well as the host’s authentic curiosity and interviewing style.
I look forward to every episode and hope that you eventually return to the original weekly format — it’s hard waiting two weeks between episodes!”

“It is inexcusable that Levitt gives any time to a notorious patent troll like myrvold. Yuck! I actually started to listen to it and found it to be revolting. The preponderance of white guys is disconcerting.
The new show from Zachary Crockett is so less than Bepu. Dubner, if you don’t change...”Read full review »

I’m really impressed how Levitt obviously has an incredible mind but approaches...”Read full review »

“Overall this show has been good and I’ve enjoyed several episodes. Putting Norman on here though? Come on. There is nothing to (mostly) or (at all) admire about a man who called chopping off the limbs of a reporter “….we all make mistakes…”. That, along with taking loads of money from such...”Read full review »

“Steve Levitt’s interviews/conversations with his formidable guests have been a total delight and nourishing! After many episodes, I’d further research either the topic or his guests to learn more.

“Sincere analysis of big range of ideas from a big spectrum of first rate guests. Always interviewed and challenged from unapologetic but respectful scientific and atheist perspective. Same as mine. There is always straight connection with the guests and a deep love for discovery and truth.”

“Steve Levitt is a hugely unique interviewer - he asks questions that tend to be (beneficially) different that anyone else. He’ll also push back a bit more on a guest that gives a fluffy answer.
Often in the podcast landscape, if you’ve heard a guest interviewed on one podcast, you can skip their...”Read full review »

“Fun perspectives and interesting guests. Steve Levit doesn’t think like most people and I like that. I think he doesn’t fit into one box and I like that too. It doesn’t feel like a one sided agenda but it is filter through him and his thoughts. Morgan nicely checks him from time to time.
