“So sad the show ended. Past episodes are still a treasure trove of timeless great explanations. Don’t assume you have special prerequisite knowledge but treat you as being smart. Hosts are good at staying objective and have a witty dynamic between them.”

“Good show. Good analysis. Just an FYI, the quick Arabic lesson from the July 29 episode regarding how to pronounce the Islamist party Ennadha was incorrect. It is not an aspirated “h” sound (ح), but rather an aspirated “h” sound (ه). Just FYI.
Other than that…good show and good content.”

“Wonderful female leads. The dead weight of uselessness is Zack. When will Vox learn to elevate the ideas and opinions of the most capable and limit the mediocre to the corner”

“The female contributors to the reporting and discussion are outstanding and make for compelling listening. So it’s still worth it in spite of the battering headwind that is Zack. If you’re activated by college-kid-level intellectual narcissism, maybe give it a pass and follow the journalism of...”Read full review »

“I was interested in getting an in depth and critique of events happening around the world from the perspective of Vox employees. But it’s hard to listen to after a while when they can’t stop giggling or laughing at themselves, maybe because they’re not confident in how they present the info, but...”Read full review »

“The topics are interesting and the hosts are thoughtful.
However, the conversation often seems to ramble. I often get to the end of the 40-50 min long show and am unsure of what the “point” was - or what about the analysis I need to walk away with.”

“I love the Weeds but these hosts are just kinda annoying and think they are more clever than they are. (Please stop saying “sort of” before every clause. Hard to listen to for more than a few minutes.

“I’ve been having a really hard time with this show lately.

“I enjoy stepping away from the politics of the moment and hearing about things that are more conceptual. That being said, one of the big challenges in news these days is hearing about what’s going on around the globe. So probably a mix of both current news and conceptual framework‘s is helpful.”

“The world is a big place. No one can truly understand the nuances of every part of the world. To pretend as such is a Trumpian approach to the world. Yet, at the very least, you could conduct proper basic research for basic facts before you start your show. But you don’t. And you should be...”Read full review »

“To think I listened to this to get informed. The justification of Australian special forces war crimes was OFF the charts, swept under a rug. The first 10 minutes of this episode is completely devoted to “yeah but China is worse” and “look at what China does” and “don’t believe anything that...”Read full review »
