    Technical problems decent content
    This podcast never plays in Apple Podcast when released. It play on other platforms on which I listen to podcasts. That’s the main knock. Minor knock is many of these are with same think tank or compatriot think tank chums. While I agree with discussions and points made this seems like the kind of interviews Kamala Harris has had in 2024. Nothing challenges the assumptions of Kevin’s employer for this podcast.
  • Elray Hub
    Good flow and useful insight.
    I find the work history of people very interesting and helpful in appreciating all the influences that shape us all.

    None of these people work…
    This show is a misnomer. You won’t learn how things work

    Leave it to Kevin Williamson to find the most well read employee at any airport in the world.
    Amazing conversation.

    Work matters
    The first thing recorded in Scripture is God working to fill a void. Our work to meet our neighbors’ needs can emulate His when done rightly. I can think of no better inquisitor than Kevin to poke around the nooks and crannies of how people do what they do. No notes, highly recommend.

    Great show!
    Kevin Williamson is smart, entertaining, and dry. It’s fun listening to him interview a wide range of guests.

    Oct. 24, George Weigel interview
    For some reason I, a Protestant, have always loved books by and about Roman Catholics. And of course it was great to hear two of them in dialogue. I’d like more discussion on how we can improve education. I’d particularly like to hear some experts in the field of learning styles and disabilities and neurological anomalies as they affect early and lifelong learning. I’d strongly suggest Temple Grandin, who’d make Kevin a great match in terms of honest straight talk. Love you Kevin, you’re the best Mary S.

    How the world writes
    Gotta give it five stars because it’s Kevin Williamson and he’s a clever dude. Gotta laugh because nobody he interviews on this podcast works at a real job.

    Williamson Delivers.
    I am an avid Kevin Williamson reader/listener. This new effort is an entertaining take on work. The first two episodes were very strong. I’m sure it will continue.

    Great podcast
    So happy to see you back in the podcast world Kevin. Love the writing and your previous podcasts. Look forward to many more

    Second podcast
    Kevin is great with questions; however, the guest Bryan Caplan was terrible. He spoke so fast it was difficult to understand what he was trying to say. He said his speaking fees have earned him a great deal of money. I’m surprised that any organization would pay him to speak!!!!
