“I truely believe Josh is doing something special. The ABC has become so tiresome and tone deaf and the right wing stuff is often tribal, shallow or behind a paywall. There is no need to get cranky when Josh describes disagreeable ideas because alternatives are given voice and have to stand on...”Read full review »

“Just when I was lamenting that no one even pretends to be open-minded anymore, along comes Josh Szeps who actually is. So refreshing to be stimulated by genuine debate and sincere exploration of contrary viewpoints. Ditch the algorithm, exit the echo chamber and breath the fresh air.”

“In this landscape of social and political minefields with thousands of voices competing for attention, we need to find those few that hit a perfect balance of unbiased but hard hitting, fearless commentary on often uncomfortable topics. Josh is one of those voices. Highly recommended!!!”

“Usually Josh reins in his far left bias which makes for interesting conversations. But his bias and narrow minded views on colonialism during the Nigel Biggar interview was extremely disappointing and a real turn off. It seems you can take the boy out of the ABC but not the ABC bias out of the boy!”

“One of my favorite podcasts. In a sea of outrage media, UC is a welcome vessel to help navigate the thorny issues facing the world. Josh is highly intelligent and witty, and although he certainly has a healthy ego, it manifests in confidence not boorishness. He will deftly feign ignorance on a...”Read full review »

“While I think Josh had a lot of really good, solid moments on this podcast, I think he simply can’t get away from the fact that he is in fact, a leftist. Every time he hosts a progressive on his show, he crumbles like a cookie, always failing to push back on the assertion that nothing is...”Read full review »

The Spanish conquest was nothing like Britain’s Victorian empire. The latter brought peace, medicine, education, law, trade, technology. If people stopped...”Read full review »

Look for yourself, interviewer and guest are lying, or haven’t bothered to verify whatever social media post they got this from. Can only assume the rest of the show follows the same partisan...”Read full review »
