  • Sandy Hook

    This episode was the best one yet, in my opinion. For that young woman to be so open about being wrong, it was refreshing. I hope more people are willing to listen and be open minded like Kate. Kate should be proud of herself and be rid of any shame.

  • Essential for RIGHT NOW

    It seems like there’s a podcast for every issue and taste, but Question Everything transcends personal “interests.” It’s a dive into how our communication and understanding of the world is taking shape, through media, through politics, through sophisticated manipulation, see: social media companies. Brian Reed talks us through these complicated details with an enormous amount of investigation and fact finding and we have the opportunity to be wiser by the end of each show.
