Lex is one of the best! My favorite podcast 😘
Very engrossing
I love listening to this podcast as I sew. Lex has a profoundly heart-softening quality to him. His gentle curiosity and melancholic hope makes me feel like not all is lost and also that I am less alone. These qualities of his make for an excellent host. The shows are wide-ranging, meandering dreams. Definitely one of my favourite podcasts.
Great podcast! Listening daily!
Lex has a great podcast and a great outlook on life. He’s very compassionate when it comes to a lot of things. His guests are great and I get a lot of enjoyment listening.
Beyond human life
We love you Lex
Yuval Noah Harari
For such an intelligent person he should know there’s no “r” in “idea” and I’d like to see him build a house or fix his car.
Top Notch Content
Even though much of the subject matter is new to me and hard to get my head around, Lex has a way of making these topics accessible to a person, like me, who has no background in mathematics or computer science. On a personal note, I have found inspiration in these conversations to expand my knowledge on these topics, and I thank you for the light your podcast has shone in this world.
Makes you think, speculate, wonder, and realise things you never even though of!
Lex, you’re an amazing host! Some of the thing you and your guest say go way over my head, but that’s the best part about it! Thanks to the this podcast I’m more curious than I’ve been in years! It’s an extremely humbling experience!
Informative
Informative podcast on a wide variety of topics
What a superb interviewer
I have been so thankful to Lex for a long time for his work on this podcast. But with the last three interviews, including the one with Israel’s Prime Minister, I’ve found myself being simply hypnotized by the depth of Lex’s questions. Thank you Lex.
The interview of Yuval Noah Harare
Unbelievable conversation. Thank you Alex!
Learning
I started following for the science, I keep following for the comassion
Good long form program
The long conversations go interesting places, though I often find that Lex fails, even in a long conversation, to press points with interviewees, that are already criticisms of them or their ideas, or to identify obvious fallacies in their arguments, that could make the conversation even more interesting and enlightening.
Keeping it simple
I’m not as smart as Lex so I’ll keep this simple. Lex has a curious and open mind, the kind inexperienced by most of the World. He is unique. If the answers to Life’s mysteries comes when asked, then Lex Friedman asks the right questions. Just listen to his podcast. You’ll be a better person.
Keeps getting better
I appreciate Lex very much. There have been episodes where I have been frustrated with Lex’s interviewing techniques; but he is getting better (and this isn’t to say he isn’t already good). He is getting more diverse with his guests but my favorite episodes are still the ones centered around technology. Jim Kellers for example is a masterpiece. I hope he continues to tell us what he thinks and keeps these podcasts as a conversation. Not a script. Keep doing what you’re doing. If you ever want to interview a normy by influence standards. Hit me up.
Brilliantly interesting 👍
So glad to have discovered this pod. I’ve only listened to 5 so far and they’ve been excellent! 👍👍😎
Good job
Nice lengthy, insightful podcast with amazing guest. It’s my favourite
Dennis Karpf
An excellent interviewer with provocative guests who cannot name antisemitism yet can identify Islamophobia. Hear and compare episodes 352 and 389 and their respective indices.
Outstanding!
Lex, excellent job of interviewing. Being a good interviewer is a talent which you have obviously honed! I’m really enjoying your podcast. Thank you.
76 applauses
Yes Lex I am now 76 and I just started listening and watching your podcast for the past few months. You have opened my mind to several things one of which that youth like you can and hopefully save the world. Your mild and tolerant style of interacting with your guests is so refreshing. I do not understand a word of your discussions on Maxine language or AI but I try. Your interviews on philosophy, politics and life are very informative. I hope you will continue your effort to stay open to all but dedicated to truth and love.Thank you for all your effort. Patrick Reynolds.
Consistent in tone . . . which is important.
Although I hate the fact that he gives a platform to conspiracy-machines like RFK, what I do appreciate about his long format interviews is that he never slips into outrage mode. I think most of us are fed up with outrage culture.
Intelligent Interviewer. Asks great questions and listens to guests,
Lex has a knack for getting guests to go deeper in their thought revealing the true person.
Deep and unassuming
Lex cares about the topics that he brings into his podcasts. He respects his guests, yet challenges them in a unique way. His natural way to go about understanding different points of view, enables conversations to flow well. Sometimes from the very deep, to the lighthearted. A tasteful sense of humor is present throughout. Well done Lex.
Great Podcast
Lex, thanks for your excellent approach to conducting interviews!
