    Latest episode about setting boundaries
    Although this is a great conversation, I swear I’ve heard this a dozen times. I wish the podcast would not have seen us on repeating the same information and they could coordinate better.
  • Tim from Santa Fe
    Ad fatigue
    Interesting people, interesting topics, but the ads are just too much. The one I listen to was about 1/3 ads, ridiculous.
  • Nico Barraza
    Ian Bremmer
    Holy cow… you guys have this dude an hour long show?! Is it not obvious how bias he is when he speaks about geo-political issues? This guy got 60 mins when some brilliant humans have 10-15min Ted talks on here. At least provide someone who will hold the guy accountable in a balanced interview. I am all for different opinions and thoughtful discourse, but this guy is so blatantly bias it is mind-blowing he is able to believe he is giving legitimate reporting on these issues 🤣🤡🎙️
  • TheyHaveNoNicknames
    How to tell a story
    I’m writing a review on the most recent episode of telling a story in under a minute. I thought the episode would be insightful, but it was nowhere close. I usually like this podcast channel but this episode was laughable. The speaker had NOTHING to add. It was awful.
  • Sorryicantseeubcicanthear

    It’s a nice podcast but it’s just ads that i don’t like.
  • Betsy & Ari
    I love this!
    Amazing podcast
  • GameMaster1021
    AMAZING
    This podcast focuses on many interesting concepts and this podcast have opened my eyes to all of these concepts.
  • Beyekindonetoanother
    Wide variety of interesting topics
    Hi. I like the show because of the wide variety of topics. Please, when you have a guest that has good content to share but cannot help saying “um” every sentence, could you please edit all the “um”s out! Please!
  • balisridhar
    Wasn’t the mission of Ted to have infectious generosity?
    Then why charge? Are the speakers even getting paid for their content?
  • William87734
    About
    This is a cool podcast .
  • Kevin O'L
    Trudeau love fest
    Wow, it’s Trudeau a narcissist! I think I finally listen to someone who loves himself more than Trump loves himself. And the man interviewing him was so infatuated with him that it was totally obnoxious.
  • Wendy 1975
    Not what it used to be
    I used to love listening to these until they started putting a political agenda in it. I’m so sick of people force feeding me their opinion. Let me do my own research without you handing me something that favors your opinion.
  • loubna25
    Profoundly relatable
    I’m a long life learner. I seek learning and insightful aha moments in everything I do. This is one stop that gets me there quickly. Each episode hidden behind hours and hours of practice and preparation. Highly recommended.

    I like it..
    Sometimes it's a little boring but I love it. ☺️😊
  • Honest-Feedbackk
    Low quality podcast for such a big name
    Host is underwhelming, content isn’t that interesting and you can get the subscribe info for free online. What is the point of paying?
  • DonQ69
    Twitter? Really?
    Posting to the former Twitter during a period of antisemitic support by its owner isn’t a good look. I loved Ted Talks, but have to say no from here on out.
  • texchiu
    Something is broken
    Like the show, but something is broken with the feed- every episode for the past couple months has the same segment with a guy talking about kids being discouraged in school. Really annoying. Please fix this or I’m going to take Ted talks out of my automatically queued list of shows.
  • Dc171296
    What once had substance
    Piling on here but feel the need to…sad to see what this podcast has turned into. The content will hopefully return once the pendulum does. Until then, stay far away from this nonsense
  • Waywardbridges
    What a Joke
    Seem to remember people saying Ted was all about having the difficult conversations that have to happen… I guess they were wrong. Y’all should try again. What a joke! Just another one sided bias machine
  • Memememememenemene
    Awesome
    Love Ted Talks!
  • Yorgos voulgaris
    Free content has dramatically decreased in quality
    Ted’s episodes used to be engaging
  • muffin-man22
    Ted has become an echo chamber
    This platform has strayed a long way from the path of open minded conversations.
  • Billy from Philly 1
    Disappointed, this is no longer a marketplace of ideas
    We all should be open to hearing ideas we disagree with. Ted used to be a place for the intellectually curious. The response for things we disagree with should be well reasoned responses. Hearing ideas we disagree with is not a physical threat. That is sad. I used to love Ted’s diversity of thought.

    What you need everyday
    Just the best podcast to listen to everyday! Always inspiring, informative, and interesting. Thanks TED Talks Daily!
  • Slow down lease
    Speed
    Please slow down and enunciate! You are so fast and I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about!
  • Justin800
    Not perfect, but still great
    I love listening to experts in their chosen fields talk about their passions, or people with interesting perspectives who share the other side of their experiences. I think it’s telling how the majority of poor reviews claim a bias that the reviewer simply doesn’t agree with… not the content itself lacking truth or thoughtfulness, but that their feelings got hurt. Imagine being so arrogant and ignorant that, when faced with an insightful, thoughtful, well-delivered message about things like climate change or actions from the leading minds of research and intervention, you double-down on dumb. Their brains and thought processes are impenetrable and at the first whiff of disagreement, they cast it away as liberal, leftist “echo chambers” for fear there may be some substance behind a well constructed presentation. I don’t agree with all Ted Talks, but I see value in expanding my mind in areas I’ll never experience or fully understand, and who better to share it than the bright minds behind such fields? Then there are the snowflakes who disagree, using their own virtue signaling with their dismissive claims of “leftist”, “liberal”, and “social justice warriors”. It seems the intolerant right is so woke.
  • fst327
    Left wing ?
    Every podcast I listened to has some propaganda. The last podcast I listen to blamed all global warming on capitalism. This person must have never visited a socialist or communist country. Not worth the time investment, unless you need some brain washing.
  • BP Writer
    Fantastic content, great guests, gems galore!
    Came across the TED Talks Daily podcast and it’s so good! Loved the episode with Alexandra Horowitz about Why All Dogs are Good Dogs! So many great takeaways! Can’t wait to listen to more episodes! Thank you!
  • Fraudulent Promotions
    Until..
    You find out this is a progressive-liberal echo chamber, you will never understand it for what it is.
  • Jhansenj
    I used to love this podcast
    This podcast used to be so interesting to listen to. Now it’s become another echo chamber for social justice. If I wanted more of that I’d go watch a streaming service or a news channel.
  • Bike Hop2
    Ted used to be great
    Ted used to be great but all too often is just an extension of the major news media. Don’t waste your time. There are many other better podcasts.
  • nmv1588
    Ted Talks has become much too “feel good”
    Ted Talks used to be filled with interesting content to LEARN about our universe. It has slowly but surely become about being social injustice warriors with little else. I used to be an avid listener and loved the new to me information. Now I can’t find anything with science or substance.
  • Mighty Good Stuff 42
    Used to be good diversity of topics
    I find these shows quite interesting covering a wide range of topics. Of late, that scope seems to have narrowed. I don’t mind hearing opinions about climate change, for example, but it feels like show after show is about that one topic. Maybe it’s not so much a problem of the show but of finding people that want to give voice to other viewpoints or topics, so I get that, but I just wanted to give you that feedback. Not giving up yet, will hang around for a bit more.
  • kevin0483
    Leftist idea store
    I just checked to see the subjects you’re covering and they are tremendously dubious causes. Fossil fuel nonproliferation? Returning lands to indigenous peoples? Maybe I’ll listen when you’re not pandering
  • Bergenps78
    Bad news sources
    All the news sources Christiane Amanpour lists as “trustworthy” are the ones lying to us and can’t be trusted. Not surprising, since this is coming from a CNN reporter. She barely scratched the surface on what is really going on in Iran and Ukraine. The tragic killings there are horrific. Where’s the in depth reporting? Climate change is not a global disaster, the policies being used to “fight” climate change is what’s causing the catastrophe on humans.

    Different arguments every day, sometimes more interesting for me then others. Thank you!
  • speck on a speck
    Learning how to listen to others…
    I enjoy learning what other people are thinking, and why they are thinking that way. It provides me context to hear what they are saying! Then I condense their thoughts into a summary statement. That way I can remember and share the mindset with others when circumstances allow me to do so. I would encourage others to try this…It enhances your appreciation for Ted talks!
  • Digit00
    It was great but then 2018-Now happened
    I use to really liked Ted Talks. I started listening to it on NPR in 2011. It was educational, scientific, inspiring etc. However it became super political, extremely left leaning, and more about racism, social justice, and just really biased. It stopped becoming scientific and inspiring. It is slowly becoming something…else. It’s like when TLC was the learning channel but is now the complete opposite. It was great they shed light on the issues at the time but come on. There are other things to talk about.
  • Jonny leano
    Another echo chamber
    Just listen to 10 episodes and you’ll figure it out. Diversity is important except when it comes to ideas here.
  • jas123
    Boring
    Another woke podcast. What happened to TED?
  • amotherslove6429
    Where’s the heterodox ideas??
    Be a bit more courageous about picking more heterodox ideas on just about any of the current narratives you present.
  • junior chomsky
    Shorter Speeches Are Best
    Sometime a little over-the-top (like a million speeches on climate change and diversity - OK, we get it already!), but overall excellent presentations.
  • ParBran2022
    This is a science question
    Hey I got one question Can a lightbulbs be recycled?
  • russ8989
    More mental programming
    Used to love Ted Talks but just within the last 5 years it’s been hijacked, like most media, by progressive and woke mobsters that complain about their victim status while doing world tours and cashing checks. This new age ideology is cancer.
  • MJO 007
    Good Sometimes
    This can be really good, and I want some climate change content, but it seems like half of this is about climate change and there’s not real diversity in the content.
  • happyhappydays12345
    Sooo good.
    Inspiring. Thank you.
