“I have enjoyed this podcast for several years. It is thought provoking and informative from a platform that is based on learning. The majority of episodes would get 5 stars. But the NEXUS Part 1 podcast ended with a strong political bent that was disturbing. The last few minutes could and should...”Read full review »

“Used to love all the great book recommendations, but Casey Means? Really? You should be ashamed spreading health misinformation. Now I have zero trust in any of your future recommendations.”

“I’ve been listening for awhile now. The longer I have listened, the more Rufus has interjected the interesting guests with his left leaning agenda. It’s become more of a “I’m Rufus and this is what I believe”, and less “here’s my guest with interesting things to say”.”

“Interesting that the show had an ad at the end referring to non fiction writers.
So in the brave new world, seems like non fiction writers will vanish. As will much of the creative arts. Or it will receded into a niche, much like steampunk today. Only created and accessed by a nostalgic few.”

“Huge fan here, and this is one of the only podcasts I stay up to date with. I was struck by the introductory statement by Caleb Bissinger that, "convinced that he (Abraham Lincoln) would abolish the thing that they (the South) held most dear, slavery." That is a very simplified (for...”Read full review »

Not like most podcasts that are more or less opinion shows where the hosts love to mainly hear themselves, in this podcast it this is all about diving deep into one book per episode with the author. The books...”Read full review »

“Huge fan of the show. Always an interesting conversation and topic, but have especially loved the episodes where Caleb has hosted. I feel like the topics are generally more meaty and less “thought-leadery.” I would suggest all listeners to make sure you don’t miss an episode where he’s leading...”Read full review »

“This podcast is so well researched and features some fantastic interviews. Sometimes I feel like the producers are reading through my search history and thought as they seem to land on subjects that have been floating through my mind and then explore them in a new and exciting way.”

“I listen to a lot of junky comedy podcasts. I love them, but sometimes you feel like you need to eat a salad, ya know? This podcast is that salad.
Great podcast for a morning walk and always good for finding the latest and greatest in non-fiction.”

“Rufus, I had a great time talking to you and your wife Alisa at our neighborhood park dinner a couple of months ago. I started listening to your podcast after that and immediately got addicted to it. I will not single out any specific episode, as each of them evokes different ideas and emotions....”Read full review »

“First time I listened to this podcast and its a home run. Annie’s take on the importance of quitting a job, a relationship or any other endeavor is eye opening and forces us out of our comfort zone and onto a richer life.
So timely in my case.
I am now hooked!
Thank You

“The next big idea is well curated, thoughtful, and intelligent the interviewers always make the guest shine and sound better than they would without them. And the guests are always interesting and not your typical pundit, CEO, or leader of the moment.”

“I never, ever leave reviews but I love this podcast and book club.

Unfortunately, as a law...”Read full review »

“I just listened to the last episode on Musk buying Twitter. Literally both guests and the presenter had the same random anti-Musk views, what is the point of three people talking if they recite the same nonsense, and the podcast is called the ‘big ideas’!”

“How could you do an ENTIRE episode on Musk’s acquisition of Twitter and not even touch the topic of censorship and deplatforming? That’s poor journalism, and all that was said was basically “Ew, how annoying” and “I just don’t think he can manage it.” Where are the facts? Where is any kind of...”Read full review »

“If you need to keep up on the latest fade in sociology or management this is the place for you. All the ideas are supported enthusiastically with zero critical examination. It’s just a gigantic ad factory. I usually look at the guest/book and go research it elsewhere.”
