needs fact checking

“Perhaps this is a review on TED as a whole, but I would feel much better about the show if there was reliable fact checking. Sometimes smart people mess up numerical facts (and facts in general) in interviews and those slip ups shouldn’t be broadcasted. Even if confirmation bias lets them fly by most of the TED audience.
As an example, saying 1000 cities reusing/refurbishing goods would reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 63% is insane if you look at a graph of what sectors worldwide emissions are coming from. In fact, in all the episodes I have listened to I have never heard them correct or clarify a statement made by an interviewee. You can’t control what people say in their talk but this podcast offers the perfect opportunity to fix things in post.”

“Older episodes were great, but the new approach - apparently to copy Radiolab - has basically rendered this podcast unlistenable. The whole point of TED is to give a stage to people with something important to say, not to show off how clever your producers are. Please. Stop.”
