“Thank you for your delightful interview with Will Butler Adams. I bought a Brompton in February so I could bring the freedom of riding a bike with me to every city I travel to by train (from Bern). Brompton seemed to me to be the simplest and most comfortable. Now I know all the care behind the...”Read full review »

“I have enjoyed this podcast until the episode on Hong Kong, has RSA joined the propaganda wars against China? I am sure Mike Pompeo is delighted… perhaps MT should interview him too?”

“I saw Matthew Taylor at the Wilderness Festival and of course he’s regularly on UK radio. His combination of knowledge, optimism and enthusiasm is infectious. He brings those same qualities to this podcast bringing together informed guests who have something interesting to say.”

“Want to feel ‘nourished’ and ‘across’ current thinking? This does it for me. Spent all day idly wondering if democracy was dead in India (sorry boss).
Matthew does a brilliant job of drawing out some pretty complex themes from his guests and challenging them.”

“I am so happy I come across this amazing podcast. Matthew is deliberative and intelligent; his guests are equally brilliant and thoughtful. I have learned a lot in the last two years.
(oh can I also add how much I enjoyed Matthew’s blog post series on coordination theory).”

“Many very interesting episodes but too many white men guests. Gives a narrow perspective.
Surely there must be more women, people of colour and young people to speak to the topic Bridges to the future.”

“This is by some way the most serious of the podcasts that I listen to and sometimes it’s quite hard work. As another reviewer says, sometimes my mind wanders off and that’s usually because it’s analysing and trying to internalise one of the points made. Nevertheless it’s definitely worth...”Read full review »

“This morning I drove from my home near Lake Tahoe California down to a small town near Santa Barbara to attend to my parents affairs. (The sadness that is Alzheimer’s disease has flooded both of them and turned their reality upside down).
It’s a 300 mile drive, no better time than to catch up...”Read full review »

“This is great. Proper considered discussions about the situation we all find ourselves in. The noise and confusion on traditional and social media are not at all helpful- making it difficult to filter for sensible information. Difficult times call for grown up conversations and solutions.”

“I enjoyed the podcast with David Miliband. I am under the impression that Miliband never took the trouble of having a look at the whole Agenda 2030 and hence talks of the UN Sustainable Development Goals as 17 lonely aspirations. Behind these 17 goals sit 169 targets and 232 unique indicators, we...”Read full review »
