Would prefer more science oriented shows. Host interrupts guests often. Too many political themes. Done with this, unsubscribing.

Origins would be a much better podcast if the guests were allowed to speak more. The host is constantly talking over his guests. It’s very annoying not to mention rude.

I was a bit astonished when I listened to Mr. Krauss interview Sabine Hossenfelder then Cormac McCarthy.He acted with Sabine (her book is Lost in Beauty)as if it was rare to hear talk of beauty re mathematical equations in physics. He sounded somewhat sceptical of her premise, while admitting...Read full review »

Great guests but dimmed by the host’s unrelenting need to hear himself talk.

Let the guest speak, do not interrupt all the time. RE: Carlo Rovelli’s interview. Great guest btw.

Talk into the microphone’s properly please.

When you speak of “woke” you sound like old men out of touch with young people. Do you ask why they are so sensitive? Do you talk to colleagues about how to address this with students? What steps are you taking to make young people tougher and more resilient and curious. Believe me, it is not...Read full review »

Fascinating guests, and I welcome the robust debates between them and the host, I just wish that Krauss would learn to let guests finish their sentences/thoughts instead of constantly speaking over them. This makes it difficult for guests to give the best expression of their ideas, which should...Read full review »

There are some great guests on this show but they become minor characters as they are dominated by Krause’s inordinate interest in himself. It is called perorating. What a shame. Krause does not know how to ask a simple question and let his guests shine.
redtail-hawk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/04/23
Feels as if Krauss is constantly using his guests as a platform to express his own ideas and opinions instead of guiding them into revealing what they have on their minds.
TheRestIsSound via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/23/23
Great guests and topics, but host does not know when to shut up. He prefers to read back what guests have written to themselves over having them speak. Saddens me to say I cannot bear it any longer.

I do actually like Lawrence Krauss - his books and his outspokenness on a variety on societal subjects. But being a good scientist and a good debater doesn’t make you a great podcaster, which is a pity. His guests are great, as he knows whole academia, but as they never get to finish a sentence...Read full review »

Before listening to the Woody Allen episode, I recommend finding out more about Allen’s background in Pulitzer Prize Winning Journalist Ronan Farrow’s podcast, Allen vs. Farrow. Slow clap for one of the greatest dirtbags in Hollywood history and pop culture!!! Lawrence Kraus was removed from his...Read full review »

Can’t thank you enough for the Woody Allen interview. That was a treat and a blessing. Please do it again ! Really appreciate it.
yassijiro via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/23
Ask Questions and WAIT until they’re answered to make a comment. Otherwise a very good podcast.
Moccamaster246 via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 07/08/23
We need to know what are the realistic mandates accomplished by different academic institutions worldwide and what are the new mandates modified according to need of the societies and how well is the world moving ahead in this his regard.
Harsharoger via Apple Podcasts · India · 06/30/23
As many have already mentioned, he constantly interrupts guests mid-sentence. Either by steering the conversation to himself or with annoying "oh yeah", and "umm yes", "I know, I know". It is his personality so it is something he won't be able to fix any time soon....Read full review »

This has the potential to be a great listen if only the esteemed guests were allowed to speak. As things stand this is a long monologue by the host
all do cm dj via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/14/23
…but Krauss does not give his guests the necessary time to answer them. Instead he interrupts and poses a new question, or intrudes with a personal opinion. It is hard to listen to a podcast who’s host is not a good listener. Great potential, but definitely room for improvement.
e_lion via Apple Podcasts · Switzerland · 05/30/23
I had very high hopes and I truly respect the host and guests but the conversations are so meandering and tedious (Douglas Murray episode for example) before getting to the meat that I just can’t take it. Sorry.
Muthahumpa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
Dawkins asks the guy other guy to explain Deutch’s many worlds interpretation and the and we don’t get an explanation just one of the uncertainty principle. They don’t know what they are talking about re physics
hfjfhfuuf via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/24/23
It’s crystal clear the host is an accomplished scientist, but I wish he would ask more questions and let his guests speak. Nevertheless worth listening.
Viezerik2 via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 04/30/23
Would have loved to have heard Bill Shatner express his opinions, finish a thought without constantly being interrupted, cut off. I’m afraid Lawrence Kraus will lose listeners if he doesn’t learn to listen and let his guests speak… what a shame, it could have been a very interesting podcast.
jillk2 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/29/23
Severely let down by poor quality audio. Why did Krauss record this in the bathroom?
tjhb27 via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 04/28/23
When a guest is able to carry the conversation then, for me, having fewer and shorter interruptions and shorter questions would be better.
The Ungerator via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
Krause has great guests, however his interviewing skills leave much to be desired. It’s as if he is is compensating for his insecurities by interjecting uhs, and yeah, yeahs, as well as referring himself. And PLEASE leave out the politics and stay with the science.
shhdhxhesg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/23
Hey Laurence, shush! Shhhhhhh! Shushhh it. Shhhh. Shush up. Shush. Shhhhh!
zormble via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/11/23
Host is irritatingly vain; the topoi are of exceeding interest & importance, but it's unbearable for me to listen through another hour of how great his insights are, whose work he knows so well yaddayaddayadda.Read full review »

Lawrence K - Encourage you to listen back to your podcasts. You’re talking way too much. You’re smart, you have some good thoughts. You should be judicious in sharing them and talk maybe 40% of the time. Not 90.
Marissa Jr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
Interesting topics and guests. The host is knowledgeable and has respectable background, however is a terrible interviewer (talks more than his guests, interrupts them constantly, espouses his views rather than focus on the guests point of view).
BlueVeggie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/15/23
Truly an important far reaching conversation. Thank you for it.
Peter the Poet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/23
More ideas, less ego please.
Burned By Adobe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/20/23
You’re really batting a thousand here at the end of 2022, Dr. Krauss. You’re a national treasure.
Rememberist via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/22
Please leave more space for the guest to talk. You never stop interrupting . I feel you love the sound of your own opinions and viewpoint. You create an atmosphere of competition and ego. The conversations are so interesting, but I’m frustrated by your lack of interview skills. Please stop trying...Read full review »

Lawrence Krauss if you could only shut up! I had high hopes but what a joke.

More please
Chaim K. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/22
Interesting and enlightening content from host and guests. Lawrence frequently interrupts and argues, which sometimes makes it less of a smooth listening experience than many other podcasts. However, his passion, knowledge and energy usually brings out the best in his guests, providing engaging...Read full review »

Great content and guest but hard to stay with it due to the constant over-talk and interruptions.
davidianni via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/22
This lady projects her theories based on her own experience which seems to be quite privileged. I listened to the podcast because I do agree that man are ignored in this current. But it was a total disappointment.

As a white heterosexual male, I guess I should feel terribly aggrieved by the oppression of those scary feminists, at least according to Professor Flamengo’s worldview. I don’t know, I seem to be doing just fine, as are most of the other men I know. The whole “anti-feminist” pose just seems a...Read full review »

This is all about the host rambling, interrupting, halting, jumping around. Torture.
prahkatakuno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/22
Lawrence certainly knows his stuff when it comes to physics, and the rating should be higher but he’s a terrible interviewer. Just bumbling through questions, taking an age to even make a coherent point. And then his stance on climate change in episode with Matt Ridley was final nail in the coffin.

LK is an excellent interviewer who spars energetically but politely.

Lawrence Krauss is a brilliant insightful and gracious host in this excellent podcast. He clearly does his homework to make the most of the interviews with some of the most important and interesting guests you will find it in any podcast. Highest recommendation!!!!!
ghhjvdee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/05/22
Krauss is a brilliant polymath who engages in very insightful conversations with fascinating guests.
Carneades via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/22
It was great however it would be good to listen more to the invitee.
hgwtf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/22
This is the first review I’ve written on here but I was terribly unimpressed with this podcast and interview skills (or lack thereof). I could barely make it through 15 minutes of this and I’m surprised the guests could either. Would not recommend to anyone.
