I like Josh and appreciate his reluctance to drift off into conspiracy land but I find that it’s often not that he thinks the conspiracies are wrong more than he himself is uncomfortable with what some of the information within the conspiracy might suggest to be true which would upend some of his...Read full review »

Listening to interview with Clementine Ford & agree with other review that commented succinctly- Josh is clueless & good on Clem for sticking around and explaining something pretty obvious. Hopefully he learnt a phew things here! Enjoyed the conversation & will try more episodes but...Read full review »

This is the best pod out there. Josh is fair and challenging with his guests. The premise of the show is that difficult conversations serve an important function, and with his skill and commitment to these values, Josh is uniquely able to demonstrate how productive dialogue can be. I always leave...Read full review »

My jaw dropped to hear Mawunyo Gbogbo say so much of what she said. She was shocking, rude, and did not present good arguments. I would not want to listen to another word of her on ABC or anywhere else. She seemed offended that you dare go to HER birth country of Ghana (that she left when she...Read full review »

One of my favourites. Almost didn’t limit it to Australia. A treat every time there’s a new episode.

As long as it fits his own personal biases, the host doesn’t push back on his guests when they say dumb or questionable stuff. Overall, a very one-sided show despite the relative diversity of guests.

At first I feared I’d found Australia’s Jordan Peterson, but no, Josh isn’t peddling a prescriptive worldview or meat-only diet. I appreciate Josh’s careful poking at wobbly arguments from both mainstreamers and (imho) super duper fringe dwellers . I appreciate that he respects his guests and...Read full review »

I encourage anyone with an open mind (or hoping to have a more open mind!) to listen. Josh is witty, clever, open, and direct. These are all important conversations.

This is good stuff. The kind to nuanced discussion of issues that most of the media is completely lacking.

Good work Josh. This guest is so confused and incoherent but you remain patient and professional.

I was listening to the latest episode “The Next Civil War” and was ready to turn it off until you pointed out the disingenuousness of the title. The author has some very interesting things to say but the obvious sensationalist headline nature of the name is eye rolling.

Love the whole idea behind the series. Josh is also so lucid ,smart and easy to listen to .

Finally found where the ABC has been hiding their intelligent journalists! I really enjoyed Josh doing the Breakfast show and very pleased to find these podcasts!! Keep up the great work and great research !

This podcast is an antidote to extremism and polarization. Josh is a thoughtful and nuanced thinker. Listening to this podcast feels like having a deep conversation with a good friend. Well done!

I am a new listener to Josh’s podcast and I absolutely love Uncomfortable Conversations. A wide range of issues discussed with enthusiasm which prompt critical curiosity for myself as the listener. The length of the podcast varies which is great. I like to listen to an entire episode in one go...Read full review »

Love Josh and his guests.

I appreciate the freedom Josh takes to look deeper into current issues. I feel like he’s on my side and educating me as I need to be educated!

Great podcast

Having listened to the Clementine Ford conversation I was amazed at how she continued to work hard to remain engaged with the conversation. Josh’s conversation is uncomfortable because he lacks the self awareness of the privilege that comes with being a white man. If you value lived experience...Read full review »

You’ll like this podcast. For me, his monologues and interruptions became tiresome. He seems to want to create the impression that he is clever rather than bringing out the best from his guests - who in the end just become part of his audience.

I miss seeing Josh on ABC Weekend Breakfast, so searched him on the podcast app hoping he’d appear. Thrilled to find this podcast and enjoying every episode 😊

Heterodox, non-partisan and intellectually honest. Essential listening in these times of polarization.

Yank here! First heard Mr. Szeps on The Fifth Column and had missed him in podcast form in recent years. Glad to hear that adorable accent once more.
