  • Outstanding show!

    Not only is Mr. Alda a national treasure, he is an amazing example of how to stay relevant and continue to thrive as we age. His character, intelligence, wit & heart shines through with each episode. Even the ones I didn’t think would be interesting turns out quite entertaining. Just hearing his laugh makes my day a little brighter!

  • Fascinating and a rewarding listen

    Not all actors are good interviewers - it’s a completely different skill. But Alan Alda really is a thoughtful and perceptive interviewer, who quietly draws information from the people he interviews. Plus he has an engaging personality. Plus, of course, he’s Alan Alda.

  • Thoughtful conversations

    I’ve been a fan of Alan Alda since my teens when I was obsessed with M*A*S*H. How delighted I was to discover his podcast featuring thoughtful discourse with people from all walks of life. Alda’s intellectual curiosity is palpable in the way he asks his guests questions, and the ensuing conversations are invariably fascinating and engaging. What a calming oasis amid the chaos of the times! Alda is a national treasure!
