“Peter has some really interesting guests on and covers a great range of topics. But too often he shows his lefty political leanings via full conversations or random sidebar comments, and he tends to come across as pretty smug. Would be better if he stuck to the facts and straightforward...”Read full review »

“Great conversation! It was both refreshing and encouraging to hear a CEO be honest about the motives of a new company. I hope that other companies recognize that industry does not “have” to be stymied by it’s business model objective. At this time, it’s so important that a company be nimble...”Read full review »

“I hate writing a title like that but Peter Kafka is so weak. I find him impossible to listen to and I really would like to listen to the topic and the guest. Today, I psyched myself up to listen to the De La Soul episode and he just sounded like a fool. For example implying that getting...”Read full review »

“Peter Kafka’s Recode Media has been one of my weekly podcast ‘must listens’ for several years now. His knowledge and insights into the media/tech industry is top notch, and most importantly, he doesn’t come across as a know-it-all douche. 10/10!”

“The best podcast for covering media businesses, hands down. Excellent interviewer. Knows what he’s talking about (which is rare) and has guests who do too. Don’t listen to the negative reviews here. Not exactly sure where they’re coming from. Maybe from some other podcaster “stars” who are not as...”Read full review »

“he’s mostly a jerk to everyone who comes on this show and it’s baffling anyone even bothers to agree to it. All for investigative journalism but it’s unnecessarily adversarial the way this guy handles the interviews.”

“Covers everything from Netflix, to Twitch, to tech billionaires and elections. Really fascinating and intelligent discussions. Quite hard hitting - but fascinating. Entertainment news in there too so there’s levity - I love it!”

“The guests and topics are at the very top of what is driving media. These are the true movers and shakers. The host annoys the heck out of me. He’s very snarky. And interrupts in a rude way. Not to get better answers. Overall, if you work in media it’s a must. But I just wish the host was better....”Read full review »

“Love Kafka and his podcast but he whiffed it hard when he had YT Sue available to answer questions. You could hear in his voice how he got amped up and biased because a coworker of his was teased.
He pushes the agenda to limit the youtube upload freedoms, as well as some more crazyness, while...”Read full review »

“I’m a big fan of Recode Decode so I gave this pod a listen. I listened to the ep where Peter Kafka interviewed Keach Hagey about her book on Sumner Redstone. Peter Kafka acknowledges Keach Hagey as a Redstone expert (wrote the book on him) but Kafka proceeds to interrupt Hagey repeatedly. Why...”Read full review »

I'm not a huge defender of Facebook or anything, but it really isn't necessary to be offensive in order to be challenging. I'll avoid episodes with her in them in the future.”Read full review »

He’s not always right but he’s always knows where he is mentally and physically, and he knows...”Read full review »
