This podcast has taught me so much already and I just finished listening to my 3rd episode.

Ray Suarez is one of my favorite radio journalists, beginning with Talk of the Nation on NPR. His ability to juggle multiple sides of complicated topics makes for a good listen. I am so happy to find him here!

It’s a disgusting trend that no words are good enough. Now there’s at least a drum. It’s gross! Please stop it! I would listen if not for this.

Really like the podcasts. In my opinion Ray enjoys listening to himself too much. Has excellent guests so please don’t talk do much yourself. Thanks, Dr, GC

I’ve listened to this show every week for over a year, it’s an excellent way to stay informed of important issues and a great alternative to short-form news stories. The guests are always highly qualified and dialogue is always thoughtful, nuanced, and non-emotional. Each story acknowledges the...Read full review »

I was excited to start listening to the episode with Caroline Hickman as climate anxiety is something myself and many of my peers are going through. SHE was amazing.

I would give this podcast a 4 star if the host would stop doing "mmhum, mmmhum, mmhum"over and over. Sound unprofessional. If she would stop doing that I can listen to the podcast without being annoyed. ThanksRead full review »

I enjoy listening to the speakers, and the topics are often interesting. If the introductory speaker/moderators were better, this podcast would go from good to great.
