“To be honest, a number of To the Best of Our Knowledge podcasts aren’t in my interest range, but the ones that are have been among the best I’ve heard anywhere, like the most recent one, on death and dying (I’ve already listened twice). Ann and Steve have an ear for depth. They’re steadily...”Read full review »

“I’m a long time listener. Like, since before podcasts. I hate leaving this review. In fact, I held off for about two years thinking the pendulum would swing back towards a TTBOOK package with lighter production levels, but it hasn’t. It seems to be getting worse, if anything.
The Radiolab...”Read full review »

“Every episode I see makes me so excited to listen to, but invariably I finish the episode extremely disturbed and upset by the predominantly white colonial view. Every episode speaks about Indigenous people, but often in the past tense and/or with distorted explanations and views that reduce...”Read full review »

“This podcast doesn’t overlook the small, incredibly important stories that we might have otherwise missed.
Delicate movements are what the major events are made of. This team brings the beauty (joy, sadness, thoughtfulness) to the air waves in stories that will stay with us.”

“For years, TTBOOK has been one of the most insightful, forward thinking, inspiring podcasts that exists. It’s a high level, deep dive course about a fascinating idea told from the voices not typically found in the mainstream. It amplifies marginalized voices that expand thinking and vision for a...”Read full review »

“I tried to like this podcast. I really did. However, the first story right out of the gate was about race and how bad society is. I’m getting tired of this Woke stuff. NPR has infected everything.”

“Eula Biss confessing to the original sin of white guilt. Lifelong liberal here who used to enjoy this podcast. I found this nauseating. The phrase “white privilege” is absolutely absurd and outdated. But wow, it makes the npr dems comfortable to go to confession. They are then absolved from...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a loyal listener to TTBOOK for decades, way before it came to podcasting, but it’s very hard to listen for the past several years. So much of the content always funnels back to the topics of racism, pandemic, or climate change. I know that those topics have dominated our culture’s...”Read full review »

“I used to be so excited for every episode of this show to drop. Then it went woe and anti-science and lost its way. As a lifelong feminist, I find this show hostile to women’s rights. As a mom of a trans-identified child, I ‘m horrified that they are encouraging sex-change and medicalization of...”Read full review »

“As a life long NPR listener I have loved hearing TTBOOK every week. I had to be around a radio every Sunday morning so as not to miss it. Now I have it in my podcast que, but I still listen to it on Sundays. It is always entertaining and informative.
Really, for me, is the best weekly listen....”Read full review »
