Only questions, no answers to a show that is prefaced on what if.

She is always well informed and prepared for a thoughtful interview

I have listened to this show whenever I can catch it over the years. I am amazed at the thoughtful questions and environment that Krys creates for her guests and audiences. I learn so much in every interview and walk away feeling inspired. Thank you for your hard work!

This podcast is good for an overview of a subject but they tend to slant the information they give leftward. They will leave out accepted facts that get in the way of the narrative. That said, it depends on the subject and they often give pretty good talks on politically neutral subjects

…actually bad for you? I listened to the whole episode waiting for the answer to this obvious question and never got one.

Kris Boyd and her team are the best of the best and are in the same league with Terry Gross and Meghna Chakrabarti. What a league to be in.

The recent “kids aren’t weak unless…” show was one of the most harmful podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Please do not allow guests to go completely unchallenged as they cherry pick studies and promote harmful views of healthcare. I love the show, but this was blatantly irresponsible.

Great guests, great questions from Kris Boyd and team. This show has provided me so much knowledge and information about various topics like economics, sociology, psychology but most about my favorite topic of healthcare. I always look forward to learning more and seeing who is next on the list! Enlightening show for sure!

I love mostly the time devoted to deep dive into topics…many I would not have considered otherwise :)

I enjoy the depth of discussion on a wide variety of interesting topics. Always a place to come to hear a fun conversation relevant to my life.

Fantastic show. Krys always knows the right questions to ask. Thank you!

Thank you.

I don’t miss many things about Texas, but I do miss hearing this program on the radio. Kudos to the podcast platform for easy listening access to my favorite program from my time in that odd state.

Ms Boyd is notorious for being prepared for her interesting guests’ in depth, interviews. I can’t imagine she has time for anything but preparation. She and her staff’s assurance of a good opportunity to learn something new, draws me to her podcast frequently. Thank you “Think”, bravo!

The pod lacks structure. Often follow up questions are lacking balance. Episodes turn into a echo chamber.

I listen to almost every episode. Krys Boyd is one of the best interviewers I’ve ever encountered.

I discovered NPR and Kris Boyd while serving time on Hobby unit in Texas. I'm a parolee now and still listen. I learn so much about our world, how to speak, how to ask open-ended questions and now hold worthy conversations with others. I appreciate Ms. Boyd, thanks!

Krys Boyd plays 21 questions and lets the guest stutter and ramble for an hour. There’s no sense of flow or storytelling, simply Krys Boyd listening mindlessly to the “uhhh’s” and “uhhhhmmms” and continuing on her next question that is hardly relevant to the guest’s last point. This show needs a serious rework because it sounds like taxpayer funded high school radio.

This series has brought so many hot topics, new discoveries, and deep subjects to the masses to consider this podcast as anything short of essential listening would be a great injustice to not only the staff but the world of individuals who where able to use this platform to further human understanding. If there has been anything work talking about or THINKing about it has been on this Podcast! To those who would detract or devalue this dialog I shutter to THINK what you would or could replace it with. Far to many positives to be held back by the occasional error of guest or technical mishap. Honestly it’s those very things that bring levity, and personality to this podcast. I maybe drinking the Keys juice but I sure have improved my rationality, internal

That is the last straw. I chose to forgive the flaws because of the talented host. but in these crucial times of climate change, allowing a guest to peddle complete lies and deceptions without calling out the blatant lies on energy storage is absolutely disgusting. just embarrassing and shameful. I will be telling everyone I know on every platform I have that this show is no more reliable than the worst tabloids. on a personal level i’ll remind you that millions will suffer and die early from this type of disgusting turpitude. I hope you are the ones to reap what you have sewn.

YES! Kids desperately need to learn that they do not always come first. In fact, in their adult lives, they will hardly ever come first. We have generations of adults now who think that they’re supposed to come first or else there’s something wrong with the world and they get depressed or resentful. They become unable to adjust and adapt to every curveball that comes their way. They think no one else is even worthy of (maybe God forbid) stepping ahead of them at some point. They have to learn that they are stepping into not only a competitive arena in the work world, but also a world where everyone else matters just as much or perhaps more than they do.

Feb 14th eoisode it sounded like they were interviewing highschoolers, if they were kudos I mustve missed it. The first lady stuttered which was stomachable. The second man they interviewed about afghan starvation stammered his was through; he sounded uniformed on the subject and kept making cringeworthy noises. Topics are interesting 2/5

The quality of questions depends on how Krys relates to the topic. This interview occurred a week after Alice Sebolds alleged rapist was released from prison after 16 years in prison after a wrongful conviction. Not one question or statement about the situation. And no mention of how African American men a routinely misidentified as rapist by white women.

Aam is a word that means common in Hindustani. My grandfather’s poem using a play on this word - Jis phal ki guthli bhi poore daam bikay, us phal ko hum aam kehte hain. In English, the fruit whose seed you can sell at the full price, we call that fruit common. Incidentally, my hometown is Kanpur and our prized local mango is the chausa.

I used to love the show because it was journalistic and informative but seems to have a slant now so no thank you

It’s a wonderful show but better listened to live. The levels are very low in podcast format.

Thank you Krys for bringing the topic of Raunch Culture to the forefront. Very interesting history how society changed, side effects of pornography, and ways to rethink of our personal value.

Love the podcast but unfortunately I can’t listen at work. This is the one podcast where the noise at work overpowers their voices. Still a great show but I miss most episodes due to low recorded volume issue. Funny part is when it comes on npr it’s louder and I can listen but I have no reception most places at where I work. Update I have unfortunately unfollowed due to unable to listen…. So sad. Turn up the volume

Think is by far my favorite podcast and kris Boyd one of the best interviewers I’ve heard. So I am distressed to find that the padcast has been shorten from a full hour to closer to a half hour. Please remedy!

Krys is always well prepared and asks such insightful questions. I have discovered so many writers and stories from her podcast. The best podcast in my library.

Another great NPR show.

Unquestionably leaning far left, and tries to hide it, which I find pathetic and hypocritically insulting to listeners’ intelligence. But Krys Boyd is a pretty good interviewer and occasionally non political episodes are worth listening to.

Topics I didn’t even know about end up enthralling me. Khrys has a deft way with guests that brings out interesting stories and insights. And her guests are comfortable rephrasing a question to reflect their insights on the issue and Khrys listens and respects and learns with the rest of us. Smartest couple of hours on the air everyday. Well done.

I love think! I’ve been listening for several years now - in the beginning mainly in the car. But lately I’ve been listening to the podcast option and it has been great! Keep up the great work Krys!

Great podcast - always well prepared and thoughtful.

That Yale professor made the history of epidemics soooo boring. Not that I seek to be entertained by the suffering of others, but I was legitimately interested in learning more about past responses to epidemics. He was given too much time to go on and on and on to answer a question in 5 minutes instead of just the 1-2 minutes it needed. Reminded me of awful lecturers I had to sit through in college.

Excellent in every way. Krys Boyd is such a great host. She interviews guests thoughtfully and her preparation for those interviews is clearly first rate. She is great using her guests’ answers and listener call-in questions to enhance the depth of the conversation. I binge listen because an hour just isn’t enough!

I used to love Think. Kris was one of my favorite interviewers. There used to be a lot more variety of issues. When appropriate, Kris would ask tough but fair questions. It seems like the last year or two the topics have become overly focused on ‘social justice’. Kris seems more interested in signaling to her guest she is ‘woke’ than questioning anything. It feels more like the oldest person in the studio is 29. Go back to making people ‘Think’ and stop telling everyone what to ‘Think’.

Krys Boyd has kept me company on my lunch break for years. Her thoughtful show is a rarity in this media environment, and her respect for ideas and in-depth conversation is inspiring.

One of the best podcasts! Krys has so many interesting guests. And she’s prepared with thoughtful questions, which indicate how thoroughly she researches the topics. How does she find the time to read the books written by all the authors she interviews? And then her smooth, reassuring voice....

Krys Boyd is the most talented, fluid interviewer I have ever listened to. I used to listen to Think when I lived near Dallas where it is broadcast and was always struck by her the insightful and smooth way she carried the conversation, free of fluff, bad jokes, or irrelevancies. While not everyone she interviews is always wonderfully articulate or captivating, I believe she and Think create riveting podcasts that are always teaching me new things.

I listen to a number of podcasts, but always check Think first and almost every day find another one or two new interviews on topics I’m interested in. Kris Boyd is an excellent interviewer and I learn so much listening to these shows. Thanks!

The format and I guess having a female host reminds me of Fresh Air. But it might be that both Kris Boyd and Terry Gross ask a lot of insightful questions. More educational on many topics I’d say than FA whereas FA has more involving the arts and politics. But Think has sometimes to me some very interesting guests and topics.

The reasons I did not give "Think" a 5 Star rating, despite its overall excellence, are twofold: 1) Many author interviews are the same as those done by Terri Gross, usually within the same week, on "Fresh Air" from WBAI in Philadelphia. 2) The other reason is that the producers are unwilling to have guests on who are edgy, who challenge the status quo in regard to Western foreign policy, who openly criticize neo Conservative ideology, US support for Zionism or the narrative Western audiences have been given in regard to Syria, for example. I blame these omissions not on the hosts such as the very thoughtful and intelligent Krys Boyd or her equally excellent substitutes, Lauren Silverman and recently, John McCaa, but on the cowardice and/or biases of "Think"'s producers who are probably frightened of offending their major donors and thus, losing much needed money and/or, they, too, are unwilling to put on the air a person who challenges their own biases. I continue to listen to NPR and watch PBS, including, "Think" because it is a very good show. I continue to financially support KERA but, unfortunately, I cannot afford to contribute on a level that will get my voice heard. If more small donors contributed, we could drown out the conventional, mainstream views of the huge donors and, en masse, demand genuinely unbiased news from our public stations.

Krys is one of the best interviewers on public radio and consistently has fascinating, thought provoking guests. Highly recommended.

The host is a superhero among radio hosts. She is shockingly intelligent and humble. Unfortunately the producers suffer from a classic Texas problem. They seem to think texas is the center of the universe. About 1/3 of the shows are right wing conservative and not worth listening too. The other 2/3 are extremely well done and in plentiful supply.

I live near Washington DC and somehow found this podcast years ago thru NPR. Krys Boyd is an excellent interviewer and covers very interesting subjects. She should go national, just as Diane Rehm did.

I’ve been listening since the beginning post-Glenn Mitchell. It’s simply the best current affairs program out there

I read both Nature and the economist magazines and I often find the latest books reviews there also presented in Think! Style is fresh, EQ is high and empathy is honest. Keep the good work

Almost every topic is super interesting and she lets her guest just speak and seems genuinely curious about what they have to say. I saw a review that complained about the fact that she "won't call people out for their BS". I don't think they understand that this is not CNN or FOX where people fight over opinions . They are just here to tell their story and what they know and she lets the listeners make their own decisions on the matter.
