“I cannot listen to this actually. It is so stuffy and uppity. What this podcast needs is an actual human being with common sense and without a law degree. And what I really mean by that, is a Dan Savage type to breathe some life and reality into these responses, while talking circles around all...”Read full review »

“Not sure why this podcast ended but I thought it was interesting. I liked comparing my thoughts on the topics to what the panelists might say. Perhaps the topics could have been more interesting but I still looked forward to each week.”

“I will miss it. I don't know who decided to cancel the podcast but if it was based on bad reviews...boo to them! I loved to hear the different opinions. I wish that there were more "advice column" podcasts out there.”Read full review »

“Half the time the questions aren't ethical. Do the producers know the times has another column called Social Q's for etiquette and manners? Panel has terrible chemistry, seem to always try to agree, with the result being a muddle.”Read full review »

“Sometimes this podcast lapses into whiny liberal finger pointing. Also, they occasionally make comments/opinions regarding areas where they lack expertise (eg medicine, medical ethics) which is suboptimal. I really enjoy Kenji the most.”

“Unlike some other reviewers, I found this iteration of the Ethicists thought provoking and interesting, until... The lack of knowledge and perspective shown by all three members of the podcast on the issue of the financial collapse of 2008, and the willingness of the panel to cast shame on an...”Read full review »

“I’m trying not to compare this podcast to Randy Cohen’s columns, or even to Klosterman’s attempted remake. The point-counterpoint format was a good idea, but fails dismally in execution. Too often the panelists have nothing relevant to add to each others’ rambling commentaries. Most often the...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened to every episode... I’m glad Jack is gone; he seemed like he didn’t want to be there. The new guy rambles on a bit but at least is more personable. I wish there was a bit less on the law front, and like other commenters, wish there were more chemistry between them. It feels very...”Read full review »

I like Yoshino and Bloom, but without Shafer it just becomes a liberal circle jerk.”

But then two things happened: the hosts started actually addressing the ETHICAL implications of the topics under discussion instead of taking the “Here’s what I would...”Read full review »

“I can’t believe all the negative reviews of this podcast! It’s true that the podcast has a weird format where it seems the hosts are taking turns reading pre-written answers instead of reacting to what each other is saying. There isn’t even a word of explanation when one of the co-hosts is...”Read full review »

I like listening to other people's standpoints, even if I don't agree with them. It makes me think about my own. I feel like a few reviewers are...”Read full review »

It's mostly just opinions from three people who have absolute no stake in evolving the ethical zeitgeist. The Lawyer...”Read full review »

“I was a fan of Randy Cohen and would like to enjoy this one as well. I think it has potential. It needs to be simplified: have people ask a question, then provide an answer. That's it. As it is now, you hear a lot of babbeling after the question: people on the phone who didn't hear...”Read full review »

“I listened to the old Ethicist on occasion but didn’t find it as engaging as this version. What I like about this new iteration is the following discussion, and how the debaters follow up their opinion with short examinations and reasoning. I think it could be even more interesting if somehow the...”Read full review »

“I listened to one of the podcasts, then read a few more of this trio’s debates on day-to-day ethical questions. Dubious ethics. Far more “what’s been my experience” point-of-view, than a discussion of the more interesting ethical notions behind the questions. Asking three random people how they...”Read full review »
