Their relationship with one another which carried over to their guests A tremendous amount of comfortability

There was nothing that I disliked—only that it is over…can’t wait until the next round of interviews

Loved every second

This is a great informative podcast, I’ve learned so much in 50 minutes of listening- the storyline is intriguing, excellent questions are posed allowing us to take a closer look at the person behind the public persona.

Loved Every Minute!

When your theme song is from Public Enemy, you hooked me in. Thank you for interviewing the unusual usual suspects. Thank you, Malcom and Kenya, for giving me hope where each day headlines bring me down. Thank you, Dr. Dre for reminding me and teaching me that the best days are head of me. Keep these interviews coming because my heart and mind need them.

Interesting and loved the podcast format

I liked the music aspect and all the guests including Malcolm Gladwell and Kenya Barris. There were times during interviews the guests were interrupted or the hosts assumptions were inserted before the guests could share their answers or input. Overall I’d listen to this again and would recommend it to others.

Great perspectives!

I've always enjoyed Malcom Gladwell and his interesting and insightful books. this collaboration was wonderful and the choice of interviewees was enjoyable and informative and fun. great listen.

Finding self

I started to listening in the beginning of my morning workout, and could not stop listening, I avoid talking to people so I can continue listening, Kenya and Malcolm were extremely entertaining I truly enjoyed how they both include themselves into the questions they would ask, I can’t wait to share this with my daughter’s and friends.

Content and presentation was great!

Really captivated my interest. Enjoyed the range of guests. Easy listening to Malcolm and Kenya's banter on subjects including, challenges people of color and LBGTQ persons face.

Stories to help reinforce YOUR voice!

I loved every one of these interviews. They were people who I knew of but I didn’t KNOW. I love Gladwell’s interviewing style and Barris’ curiosity and both of their abilities to connect with each guest. Their connection makes it easier for the reader to connect with the guests as well. Gotta hear more from Gladwell, Barris, and each one of their guests.

cursing interrupted my empathy; music was hard on my ears--disruptive but maybe that was the point

really like the unusual individuals chosen to visit. learned something from each. honesty of interviewers and guests made discussions very relatable.

Pretty good

Did you know? Malcolm Gladwell is part Jamaican. If you didn't know, he'll keep reminding us throughout the 7 hours. The show could have been called 'A race podcast: did you know, Malcolm Gladwell is part Jamaican?' Jokes aside, enjoyed many of their guests. Often Kenya would talk far too much about himself, especially when he liked the guest (I'd like to hear what the guest has to say?). One guest, a film-maker, embarrassingly repeatedly tried to brute-force pitch herself on the podcast and secure some work, resulting in some incredibly cringe-worthy and awkward moments. Overall, almost gave up early on but listened to all the episodes and generally enjoyed the discussion, thanks. I found Malcolm's questions and observations very perceptive. Also, did you know - he's part Jamaican?
