“Nick Gillespie is a great interviewer. His conversation with Wesley Yang a few years ago will be perennially relevant.”

“Outstanding interview. If I were 18, I’d have U Austin as my top choice. What an education those kids will get”

“For some reason, when I finish listening to one of these interviews, I get another older podcast that I’ve already listened to and really like hearing again. Is Reason using AI to make me more libertarian?”

“Between the reason interview and the round table I have found such great company. Nick and the others at reason provide the kind of clear, humble and entertaining perspective and interviews that you just don’t really find much elsewhere. Perhaps it’s part parcel of their view points, but I just...”Read full review »

“The war in Ukraine is due to decades of meddling by both Russia and the West including the USA.
Russia was the aggressor and Ukraine is justified to fight back against Russia.
The West and the USA shouldn’t be involved, but as a libertarian, Ukraine is who we should be rooting for.”

“A friend of mine once called Reason Magazine the “gateway drug” to libertarianism. But I don’t listen to the Reason Interview for a libertarian take on issues – heck, I’m not even sure if Nick Gillespie considers himself a libertarian. But he is a very good host with an easy-going style, and his...”Read full review »

“Gillespie is one of the better podcasters. He’s prepared and very well versed on topics he explores with his guests. He is VERY witty. He asked for comments and suggestions, so here’s mine: maybe reduce the personal anecdotes in each podcast? I know his age, his grandparents’ ethnicity, lapsed...”Read full review »

“This has been in my rotation for a long time but the subject matter has become less interesting, more conspiratorial. Nick either interrupts every guest or takes over the conversation and makes it about himself. Seems like a show that is less ‘Reason’ and more ‘Nick’ which is unfortunate as many...”Read full review »

“Nick is disarming, funny, consistently kind with his guests while getting interesting interviews out of them. I subscribe to fewer than a half dozen podcasts, and this is the one I look forward to the most every week.”

“Not sure why reason has decided that standing up for all libertarian ideals isn’t necessary. I have it two stars because the education podcast was fantastic but after listening to last podcast with Ben Smith I’m was severely disappointed. It’s not just the last one that shows bias. Buzz feed is...”Read full review »

“Nick isn’t as interesting or articulate as his guests. So he should keep quiet more often and when he does talk it should be to ask clear questions not to ramble with “kinda” “you know” throat clearers.”

“I agree with others who have made the same observation, stop interrupting your guests. He gets even worse when he disagrees with the guest, I had to shut off a recent one about 10 minutes in—the dude he agreed with the tone was: “ok, he can talk, some.” The lady he didn’t agree with couldn’t...”Read full review »

“Overall Nick Gillespie’s THE REASON INTERVIEW is an informative and engaging podcast with some amazing guests. My only suggestion is that the host needs to allow his guests to finish their thoughts. He has an irritating habit of cutting his guests off mid-thought to ask another question or make a...”Read full review »

Nick is not only an expert writer and seasoned journalist, he’s also a thoughtful and genuine interviewer who does a great job in the audio/video medium (i.e., articulate, nice voice/elocution, likable personality, easy on the eyes). That said, I might be inclined to knock off...”Read full review »

“Has on some interesting guests, and is not afraid to politely probe a bit. A lot of podcasters are just plain lazy, don’t do their research, and let their guests just ramble on continuously (lookin’ at you, Joe Rogan), so we only end up hearing a singular, very biased perspective. Gillespie,...”Read full review »
