Don’t let people tell you how your podcast “should” be
This is an excellent podcast. Lex is such a genuine curious person. Letting the other person speak, possibly even stupid ideas is he point. To people that give one star and then try to tell you you need to moderate better or ask more questions… these are the people that aren’t really here to listen. And I’ve heard plenty of pressing from you in the past. Pushback per se isn’t really the point here. It’s exploiting other people’s ideas. And to the person who complained about 8 minutes of ads and gave it one star… just wait till I tell you about the concept of fast forward. It’s gonna blow your stupid little smooth brain away!

Keep doing you
Screw these haters, Lex! Your podcast has brought joy and education on a variety of topics into my life for years. The range of guests are interesting and you do a great job at asking through provoking questions that you make understandable to listeners. I hate seeing haters write negative comments - don’t listen to those fools. Keep doing you and spreading your positivity and curiosity throughout the world.

Fascinating Insightful Educational - expand your world and your thinking
Lex is a master and bringing together the most diverse range of people who are the best in their field, or who have an interesting take on the world - you won’t agree with everyone and all they have to say, but that is the beauty of this podcast. To get lost in different ways of looking at things and learning so much about human behaviour and the world we live in. A word too about Lex. What amazes me is his ability to listen so intelligently to each guest, to understand their subject at a level that allows for deep insightful questions. Some of these scholars go deep on their specialism and Lex has the intellect to keep up and take the conversation forward, exploring, prodding to get the most from each guest - a rare gift and talent. And he doesn’t interrupt but lets them relax and talk so we can learn. My hours in the garden wouldn’t be the same without this podcast. I love it.

Great brain food
Love this podcast. I stumbled across Lex through you tube. His intellect, fairness, openness and voice drew me in. Lots of interesting topics and relaxed conversations with interesting guests. Very satisfying for anyone that enjoys listening to podcasts and learning new things who is open to new thoughts and various opinions.

Hamas war debate
This is an excellent podcast. Norman Finkelstein, braggart and pedant extraordinaire, his voice, the aural equivalent of metal shavings in one’s underwear, cannot entirely destroy this discussion of thoughtful men on a very complicated subject.

A refreshing blend
🎙️ I absolutely love his work and always look forward to each new episode and the fascinating guests he brings on board. 💫
One thing I'd like to mention is that while the discussions on quantum, black holes, politics, and AI are mind-blowing, it would be great to see a bit more balance in the mix. It would be awesome to dive into more real-life topics like relationships, work, personal growth, and finance. 🌱💼💰
Don't get me wrong, I'm still a huge fan, but adding these everyday topics would make the podcast even more relatable and engaging. It's all about exploring the human experience, right? 🌟
Keep up the fantastic work, Lex and team! Can't wait to see what exciting conversations lie ahead. 👏"

Done with love
I always feel more educated and a better person having listened to a one of Lexs’ podcasts. The questions asked by Lex appear to bring out the best in his guests and allow the audience to gain significant insight in to the mind of those being interviewed.
Lex seems a genuinely nice person and having listened to hours of him interview amazing guests, he has gained my trust and respect, as have many of his guests.
I enjoy listening to opposite sides of a debate and having my mind changed. At one point in my life. I would have fought vigorously against this, but now I embrace it. Thanks Lex.

Outstanding Podcast
This podcast opens new horizons to the listener. Even in the longest episodes I’ve never felt compelled to stop listing or to fast forward. Excellent! Thank you so much, Lex for doing this.

The Guests! The Host! The Suit!
World class guests interviewed in long format by Lex. Lex is a Russian born American citizen and huge nerd. Honest and vulnerable with a friendly style. Great and interesting.

Episode with Annie Jacobsen…
…was outstanding. I like it’s more a conversation rather than just an interview.

Makes long commutes enjoyable
Lex as one of several podcast hosts I listen to as I drive to work. I appreciate his calm curiosity, rational approach to interviews & fascinating people for many different areas of experience and life experience that he brings in to interview. Also, Lex has one of the least irritating voices to listen to out of many podcast hosts so 2-3 hrs with him is not only bearable but enjoyable.

Great interview, great insights - some bad assumptions
He does really phenomenal interviews that are thoughtful and complete. My only complaint is that he makes assumptions or sometimes accepts assumptions of others and uses them as the basis for his questions so they go unchallenged. EXAMPLE: He asked Sam Altman how to overcome the liberal bias that is rampant in tech (paraphrasing). With Musk, Ellison, and many other tech leaders aggressively on the Right, I don’t think we have actual data showing the bias is to the left. That’s his opinion. This kind of question with an erroneous assumption built into it happened a few times and it distracted me from the otherwise great interview.

Get Over Obama
Lex, great interview with Tulsi. But please do your research on Obama and his ability to be a “uniter.” Try asking someone who wasn’t a democrat during his presidency how they felt he was an Uniting the nation.

Arguably the best podcast - love the long form - love the thoughtful listening style where you can actually get to know the opinions of guests

Intellectual potency
Lex’s capacity for sincere curiosity and depth of thinking is rare and must be cherished. A product of being made in the USSR yet designed in the USA offers a rare potent combination of great intellectual possibility and perspectives for questioning.
