The entire podcast did not include what happened to the horse 😭
If there was a sixth star, I’d give that one too
Mar 11
It is as it describes, a collection of exceptional TED presentations added in with extra insight and breakdown. I haven’t once walked away from one of these without having learned something and be inspired or at least greatly informed that in turn allows me to approach the days ahead differently. Thank you to all who make it possible, you all should be proud of what you deliver, truly amazing.
Contents and explorations
Jan 17
I love most of the contents . Also great ways to explore new books and writer .
I love how our relationships are changing in the age of artificial intimacy

It was so good. I loved it so much my dad does not like it but I listened to it for two days today and yesterday. It is one of my favorite podcast.
Greenwashing
11/16/2024
Typical corporate media take on climate issues that biases toward capital and imperial powers. To celebrate Noor and similar developments that robbed the indigenous communities’ sovereignty is ignorant to say the least, hypocritical if the team has done their homework.
They have now destroyed Ted Talks.
09/15/2024
It’s sad really. The host has these childlike reactions to the guests. The show doesn’t need a host anyway. They have too many commercials. The talks they have now are very one sided, it’s repulsive how “as matter of fact” they are. The political nature of the show has ruined this one. Unfollow.
Meh kind of boring and not interesting
08/25/2024
Much prefer 99% Invisible or Throughline.
Downhill recently
08/23/2024
If I were not subscribed in the past I would absolutely not subscribe now. It’s annoying how the new host gasps/has childish reactions when guests say interesting things/reveal their points. I could really do workout the melodramatic reactions to basic statements. It’s also annoying how the host seems to not know much about their guests’ work. Maybe the host is too busy to properly research guests, but it’s been particularly bad recently. Additionally, it’s ridiculous that the host would receive criticism about the way her voice sounds and then get on Twitter to complain about the criticism and frame it as sexism. Unbelievable that criticizing a nasally voice is now sexiest lol.
needs fact checking
07/21/2024
Perhaps this is a review on TED as a whole, but I would feel much better about the show if there was reliable fact checking. Sometimes smart people mess up numerical facts (and facts in general) in interviews and those slip ups shouldn’t be broadcasted. Even if confirmation bias lets them fly by most of the TED audience. As an example, saying 1000 cities reusing/refurbishing goods would reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 63% is insane if you look at a graph of what sectors worldwide emissions are coming from. In fact, in all the episodes I have listened to I have never heard them correct or clarify a statement made by an interviewee. You can’t control what people say in their talk but this podcast offers the perfect opportunity to fix things in post.
Horrified
08/03/2024
Grossed out and horrified by the legitimate entertainment and promotion of people who are suggesting that artificial intelligence can replace legitimate human connection in any way. I find the fact that is being at all entertained to be completely nihilist and genuinely horrifying and as close a thing as evil as can exist. I’m repelled.
