“I’ve been faithfully listening to Talk Easy since Sam had a conversation with my friend Morgan Parker. The art of conversation is, admittedly, difficult especially in a country where listening and thinking thoughtfully isn’t encouraged. Sam’s conversations every week remind me that being engaged...”Read full review »

My time is precious and I want to spend it with those who know and care about their own humanity enough to know ours. Thank you Sam, seeing yourself and your guests is a...”Read full review »

“Every episode I’ve listened to, and I’ve listened to a lot of them, has been wonderful. Sam gets the best out of his guests by his empathy and thorough research. The interviews are always interesting, even when I didn’t know the guest to start with.”

“I love the vulnerability and honesty that Sam is able to have with his guests. So often artists are marketing something, but these conversations live outside of that and instead spark introspection and act as inspiration for listeners.”

“Sam hosts such tender, intimate conversations with some of my favorite artists. I feel like I learn something about the world from these conversations. If I'm not familiar with the guest, I usually walk away from the episode watching or reading their works. Like I watched Dan Levy's new...”Read full review »

“I come away from Every. Single. Episode expanded in some way. Sam’s conversations distill the best thinking his guests have to offer—and that’s saying a lot considering the staggering insight and breadth of experience they bring. This show is kind of like its own universe.”

“Caught your interview with the one, and sadly only, David Remnick. If they are all this good, winner winner chicken dinner. You really hit all the right notes. I’ve heard too many podcast interviews that don’t say anything, or get at anything, with the same guests that cycle from podcast to...”Read full review »

“Sam Fragoso is a truly phenomenal interviewer. I’m a longtime listener of Talk Easy, and the time and care put into these conversations week after week is unmatched. If you’re looking for a new podcast to listen to, I’d wholeheartedly recommend this one. The Rupi Kaur episode is one of my favorites!”
