I was looking forward to the interview with Dr. Saree Makdisi, whose books I very much enjoy, but all the host did was interrupt him, cut him off, and offer counterfactual hypothetical questions. Perhaps the host shouls go to journalism school and learn how to conduct an interview, instead of treating his guests as a screen for his biases.

The topics are consistently interesting, from all over the world, with knowledgeable guest experts. The host is respectful and sounds like someone you’d love to have a yarn with. I just wish he’d stop interrupting his guests when they’re talking.

I am a big fan of LNL, but why has P Adams been replaced by Jonathan Green (on Wednesday and Thursday)? I understand that Philip’s health is possibly waning, but Jonathan Green? He giggle snorts his way through Blueprint for Living - which might be ok for a marshmallow take on life, but - HE IS TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE FOR LNL. Find someone better!

This show is always an exciting listen. You never know what the subjects will be, but they are always interesting. The host is smart, engaged and knows what he’s talking about. Sometime he’s a bit TOO measured though... I tend to put the speed at 1.5x :)

I’ve listened to this wireless show for years, first on short wave, now on line. Phillip Adams is a national treasure.

Phillip Adams has a wry and playful approach to every topic. He is never shy about telling you where he is coming from on any given issue and yet never comes off as dogmatic. As an American its fun to hear about Australian politics and his reports about things here in the U.S. with reporter Bruce Shapiro always go places that the American media never does. I am addicted to this show.
