Listener Reviews

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 podcast on a wide variety of topics

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.

Unbelievable conversation. Thank you Alex!

I started following for the science, I keep following for the comassion

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.

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.

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.

So glad to have discovered this pod. I’ve only listened to 5 so far and they’ve been excellent! 👍👍😎

Nice lengthy, insightful podcast with amazing guest. It’s my favourite

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lex has a knack for getting guests to go deeper in their thought revealing the true person.

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.

Lex, thanks for your excellent approach to conducting interviews!

Rfk is a very layered person with a ton of his family’s spirit talking through his words and reason because it’s natural to fallow in the path of great men.

Great guests love the way lex let’s them explain instead of butting in great interview technique also nice in depth podcasts top class content keep it up

I typically avoid listening to podcasts that exceed an hour in length. There are two exceptions though. And this particular one is among them.

Best podcast! Love how Lex can make insight conversation with very relevant questions in such a vast array of topics and genres. Please keep up the great show

I just listened to the “Jan 17: #352 - Omar Suleiman: Islam” episode and I am amazed at the eloquence, dignity, and tranquility with which both Lex and Omar conducted this interview. I could have listened to another 3 hours of this, it was that good. New subscriber and fan for sure!

This dude is fricking awesome
