Great topics horribly biased interviewer questions from Michael Barbaro
I’ve been listening to this podcast for years, have recommended it to countless friends, and generally enjoyed the topics and people being interviewed. I don’t always agree with Michael Barbaro’s point of view but am open to other people’s perspectives. But recently the interview questions from Barbaro have become so biased and ridiculous that it’s painful to listen to a whole podcast. The most recent one that comes to mind is the one on laïcité in France. Why is it ok for Barbaro to question an entire country’s motto of separation of church and state and purposely say it’s discriminatory against Muslims when that isn’t true? Instead of championing France for being much more welcoming to immigrants compared to other European countries and giving the audience an unbiased overview on laïcité and how these laws can/should be applied equitably to everyone in the country his questions come off as under researched and belittling a set a of laws that have been in place to promote equality since the French Revolution. Believe it or it, yes your prejudice is showing when you think it’s ok to tell an entire country to change their laws for the sake of immigrants that they’ve kindly taken in and not the other way around. This is just one example of the many troubling podcast episodes I’ve listened to. Please stop these judgmental questions and give us back interesting educational podcasts on relevant world topics.

Just heard your first episode - 15 mins every weekday is perfect - allows you to go deep on a topic but in a brief format. Thank you!

A remarkably in depth daily news podcast that I can listen to as I am commuting, exercising, etc. Love how it straddles the line between formal newspaper reporting and the more informal tone of a podcast. I'm glad the Times is getting on board with new ways of consuming the news.Read full review »
