Love his show. Prodigious memory! Would be nice if the interviews were not broken into smaller bites on the same topic, because I have to open up my iPod for each section. Keep up the excellent work !
Excellence in Broadcasting

John Batchelor should wear the Crown for excellence in broadcasting. No one has the range, the topics, the contributors …science, history, events all around the world and home, absolutely superb. Do not know how he does it 7 days a week but there it is unfailing and smartly done. Stay the course, its perfect.
My favourite podcast

Excellent guests and a host that is very well prepared and ask the most important questions. I look forward eagerly to seeing the next set of podcast episodes in my feed. Guests include Bob Zimmerman, Andy McCarthy, Richard Epstein, and Salena Zito.
A show for the reflective thinker

A most excellent show. Very impressed with John Bachelor’s ability to weave a narrative whilst interviewing a wide range of guests. This show is a rare gem: purposefully taking a reflective and thoughtful look at current events despite the frenetic pace of news in the age of the virus.
Love the show

The best current events show. Period. John Batchelor is a thoughtful, balanced and objective host, and always engaging.
Sublime. Exemplary. And the host is a consummate gentleman

Everything is splendid about this painstakingly-assembled, Swiss watch of a radio program and podcast. It is a product of highly professional and brilliantly orchestrated teamwork to which I have listened for about four years. I have nothing whatsoever to do with this show, bit simply recommend it most highly. It is clearly a well-crafted, superbly engineered, and professionally planned production that always appeals to the listening mind. That being said, without the grace, generosity and elegance of the host, the James Bond-like John Batchelor, I am not sure that I would tune in quite so very reverently. Batchelor is, to put it mildly, an irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind host the likes of whom it would be surprising to see again in this new, palm-staring world of information-sharing. I hope for my own purposes that Mr. Batchelor and his fine correspondents (who always show up ready and rarin') continue for years and years again.
Addictive!

Long the regular guests. They always bring up points that challenge my pre-existing beliefs. Something worth tuning in for every day.
too short

I'm a fan. But there are too many 20min bits, it's hard to keep track. Perhaps a "long form" edition?
