“I appreciate interviews with creative people, but I am really missing the old format of the show. I really liked hearing from individuals in a wide range of jobs that I didn’t even know existed or couldn’t imagine how they did their work. I think the old format had both a depth and breadth that...”Read full review »

“Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy having artists here and there on the show, but the best part of this show was the variety. You could feel like you got to experience more that life has to offer through varying perspectives. I held on for dear life after the format change, hoping it would find its...”Read full review »

“Just listened to the interview about James & Karla, the photographers documenting New York Storefronts. Really fascinating, but, it would have been wonderful if James was allowed to finish a sentence without Karla taking over the conversation. Perhaps directing questions at the individuals,...”Read full review »

“I was enjoying the show up until the hosts started bashing former presidents. I didn’t sign up for this podcast to hear politics. It’s amazing that the hosts and producers automatically assume their audience shares their political beliefs. Please remember you have a diverse audience and stick to...”Read full review »

“The interview are great, but the chat between the hosts becomes tedious and overpowers the guests. I really don’t think the interviews require explication; they speak for themselves.”

“I’m a slate + member and I have road tripped AND flown to attend live broadcasts.
in its early years I used to look forward to this show. No more.
1. it’s almost always a New Yorker who is being interviewed. Even post Covid. Yes I know there was that one season in Detroit.
2. Lately the only...”Read full review »

“I listened to the latest episode, and then went back and listened to what has been referred to as the “old format.” I loved the episode about the nun. I’m not Catholic, don’t know anything about Catholics, but I loved it. And then I listened to the latest one. Some guy with a Pulitzer. It was...”Read full review »

“This show, which I've subscribed to for years, used to compellingly interview ordinary people working for a wage. The recent pivot to interviewing creative people about the creative process, is an already saturated market that is far less interesting to me. Sorry to say that I've...”Read full review »

It’s always fun to listen to even the professions we think are normal jobs. They also make series with several people who work at the MoMa or at the government....”Read full review »
