Listener Reviews

Please talk more about the elephant in the room. 2.5C is coming this century and the kids are in despair. And the adults are ignoring this reality with the flashy distractions, including AI, social media, culture wars, political wrangling, entertainment, short term economics. Too big a topic?

Climate discussion with Bjorn and Andy was brilliant.

Rogan might be the most “powerful” interviewer in the world, but Lex has got to be the most effective interviewer in the world.

Lex does an amazing job of finding interesting guests from all professions and all ideologies. One thing all his guests have in common is passion. It is very interesting and educational to listen to a well educated, well spoken person be curious about what the other person finds to be interesting and why they are passionate about their subject. It’s obvious that Lex spends lots of time prepping for each interview and knowing the right questions to produce good answers. His long-form discussion interviews are among the best in podcast today, in my opinion. Lex asks questions from opposing as well as supporting views —that is what makes his discussions honest and 100% worthwhile the listen. Keep up the awesome work Lex!

I’m just happy that there are spaces like this where people can just talk. A space where you’re allowed to fail and be wrong and learn. I just listened to Lex and Sam chat for over four hours and it was so lovely. No one is perfect, but we have to have spaces where we can think out loud, together, honestly.

Get the best out of each guest. Lex is wise beyond his years. Thanks for all the effort. Sam Harris is full of himself. He was always right about Covid, even when he wax proven wrong. Same with Twitter, Twitter was great when it was censored, but as free speech it’s a waste of his time filled with useless information.

Thank you for uncovering and pointing out (to us) Sam’s narrow blind spots that can only be qualified as his hidden religiosity.

I , at 70 years on this planet, have come to the conclusion that words are fluid and should not be confused with actions. There are words I will not use in the public domain. There are words I know are triggers. But words should not be the sole property of a group because the words are there like a conversation bubble in a comic strip. We should be civil in public interactions and we might connect with a person that might enrich your life. Your words are like doors to people minds, hearts and souls. There are doors meant to the opened and doors meant to remain closed. You are the key.

Lex has such a wide range of interests and does a great job interviewing his guests. He is well-prepared and has extensive notes to refer to when interacting with his guests. His guests are usually articulate, and Lex doesn’t pick them for woke or political reasons, which is rare these days. I like his book summaries particularly as well as his self-discipline.

Amazing quality of guests, smart host, scope wider than the title makes you think.

When I wake up in the morning and remember this podcast exists, it makes me excited about life again.

May the romantic realists always prevail.

Brilliant.

We need this podcast. Talk like this will generate the ideas that move us towards a brighter future

This podcast has really opened my mind, I’m obsessed with it.

Lex, please pull together your brain trust and help the USA get intelligent, competent leaders. So tired of same old partisan-disrespectful-selfish politics. Recently heard a governor say on national TV that Americans have two political choices, “normal or crazy”. Ugh!!! Help !!!!!! Tough times ahead with wars, environment, aging, poverty/wealth gap - need young minded brilliant people to lead us.

If you listen to one podcast this should be it!

Excellent podcast!! However, I recommend listening to it as opposed to watching the YouTube version. Lots of things are edited out on the YouTube version. Just the audio is far more authentic.

Lex is not presumptuous; he’s curious and willing to step out of his comfort zone in order to learn and grow. He has a logical and profound approach to crucial conversations. Great show, you’ll never feel alone on your journey.

Terrific podcast, broad variety of topics, excellent guests. Only criticism I have- or maybe just an observation- is guests often speaking VERY quickly. Seems like Lex speaks in a slower way but they don’t follow his lead. Still- my current favorite podcast for the content and terrific in-depth interview style.

great highly intelligent knowledgeable guests 99% of time. respectful, fun, interesting conversations

This podcast is good! The interviewer is great, the only downside is that it is too long.

But the part that that shoots needs to be completely disabled. Also this civil war episode is so one sided it’s insane. Union soldiers also raped and lynched. Abe Lincoln was a politician not a saint. First he wanted to ship all blacks to Liberia hence the flag 🇱🇷. He also forced the blacks to fight for him he even killed 250 ppl in ny because they didn’t want to fight. Uzis aren’t even big guns “uzis and tanks”. And we need guns to fight against the government or at least be a real threat. Everything has two sides which is why I like your podcast. This episode specifically is too one sided.
