“I came across this show when I was searching for Tim Minchin podcast interviews.
I am very surprised this has never shown up in my recommended podcasts. Good guests, good interviews. Well worth listening too.”

“I appreciate the questions and it’s good to bring a different perspective but it’s really annoying when he talks over the guest and steamrolls them. It disrupts the flow of conversation and I wish he’d just let them finish their thought before he interjects and then changes the topic. It’s a...”Read full review »

“The only uncomfortable conversation you will hear if you have a functioning brain that is not polluted by most woke agenda, maybe every 10th show is somewhat not dogmatic, but overall total garbage.”

“I’m so relieved that I discovered Josh and this podcast. He takes an open-minded and reasonable approach to so many interesting topics, but most importantly he’s not afraid to ask the confronting questions that need to be asked. Since social media there has been a terrible change in society...”Read full review »

I held on for a full hour and just when they were really getting to the point of the piece but it abruptly stopped. You have to pay to listen to the whole thing on a website. ...”Read full review »

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.”

“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!”

“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 »

Can only assume the rest of the show follows the same partisan...”Read full review »
