Listener Reviews

At 19:05 -19:22 So all those hundreds of J6 people in jail that he lied to are there because of his lies. So sad.

Lex has the right questions for the right guest. Unlike Joe Rogan, Lex Fridman does ask the correct questions and that makes the podcast interesting. Also, it helps to remember that Lex Fridman’s guests are amazing

I recently listened to the podcast episode featuring Cenk Uygur. While I don’t agree with Lex’s political perspective and find some of his views to lean toward misogyny, I do appreciate his ability to host guests he seemingly disagrees with and still give them the space to express themselves. One thing I value is that, despite my reservations, Lex remains fairly neutral in his interviews, and it’s often hard to pinpoint his own views, which allows for a more open and balanced conversation.

Why don’t people talk anymore? How boring it must be to confine your thinking to just one side or another? I don’t have to agree with someone to appreciate learning more about their thought process and gaining their insights into life. Over, and have no clue 68 years there have been plenty of times I have been influenced by people I never expected to impact me. I don’t trust the youth today. They are so shut out to ideas that do not conform to their politics or social stands. It is amazing they can be so strident and ignorant at the same time and have no clue about how dangerously stupid they are.

Don‘t be surprised if an episode here is longer than 3 hours. The record #348 is almost 9(!) hours… It started as a podcast on topics related to AI, but then developed into a much broader set of topics, including but not restricted to religion, politics, various science topics, and martial arts. Lex gets important people to talk with him: Elon Musk, Eric Schmidt, Benjamin Netanyahu, Garry Kasparov, Bjarne Stroustrup, and many more; scientists, politicians, entrepreneurs. Lex succeeds in asking deep and often unexpected questions, from seemingly unrelated angles, but still enlightening the listeners. Pick your episodes, binging 400+ loooong episodes is simply too much. But highly recommended!

Lex is amazing, the platform is irrelevant. Great podcast.

One of the most beautiful, graceful women in the world! And I absolutely loved your clothing line when you had it. Beautiful dresses! Miss shopping for them!

I’ve listened to literally every episode Lex has produced. I have learned more here about life & reality than any other source. Thank you for sharing & be willing to talk to a range of people in and out of your sphere with love. Cheers

Anyone new to podcasts, this is the best place to start. If you’re a centrist, this is likely where you’ll start to regurgitate your opinions from. Nothing but love for the Lex Friedman podcast

Love to Kevin Spacey ❤️

Eye opening episode. Worlds within worlds. Thank you. And the fact that you were out in the Amazon in your signature suit?!?!?

Loved episode with Kevin Spacey. One of my favourite actors! Love from Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Not every one of his podcasts interests me, but I enjoy most of them and the guests

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!

I have learned quite a bit listening to your podcast. Interesting guests and you do a great job interviewing them

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.

Want to “save” the planet? Donations to this cause is a great start! Thanks to Lex for sharing this adventure with us!!

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.

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.

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.

<like super loud farting noise> That is all.

🎙️ 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. 👏"

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.

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.
