Thanks for taking my suggestion a while back about letting the listener know that you were going to break. I’ve been listening to you for quite sometime but I believe that there was a time when you did not do it. that way . Anyway, you are doing now doesn’t really matter it sounds excellent. Good Tom Alison Schuback

Listening to many podcasts, but Tom’s news update remain my favorite. Tom and Drew balances each other so well! We need more of him to give us a balanced perspective on all topics!

I disagree with the onslaught of 1 star reviews for Tom. Contrary to other reviewers, he is not an Elon Musk fan boy nor a Trump devotee. He’s bringing on people like David Pakman to have conversations. To be honest, my biggest issue with Tom is his love affair with Chat GPT and excitement about AI. He’s made his money, and doesn’t acknowledge the destruction AI will have on tons of people, and just human connection in general. I’d advise him to listen to Esther Perel’s thoughts on AI. She talks a lot about us losing the ability to work through problems in human relationships / romance due to AI satisfying our every need and emotion. I still appreciate you Tom.

Impact Theory is where I go to for brain growth. I fully enjoy listening to Tom and his thought process. Although Tom says his IQ is low, he is a brilliant thinker. I enjoy the show fully no matter the topic because it’s about inductive and deductive, evidence-based THINKING. The only listeners who would be closed off to any topic in the format in which Tom presents them are those who may be closed minded. Thank you, Tom, for providing such substantive shows.

… until Tom started getting into political topics he knows nothing about based on the content she’s sharing. Unfollowing for now… Peace

Tom has lost sight of the values that matter (compassion, human rights) and is now a problematic conspiracy theorist who licks boots and peddles pseudoscience.

I used to love this show!! Now, too much politics, and as the primary media I consume, I find that my mind is more anxious listening to all the new content. It’s interesting and worthwhile for sure, but it’s not why I became a listener. I do appreciate the throwbacks every now and then, and I have started only listening to those.

I once was a diligent listener of Tom’s and his guests. I appreciated his inquisitive nature and search for the truth. Since the Trump election, Tom has turned into an Elon Musk fanboy. In lieu of his intellectual rigor, he now resorts to specious arguments and fallacies. It’s actually quite concerning that such a smart guy has abandoned all of the brilliance he once cultivated to embrace bottom of the barrel shortcuts.

I had started to listen to this podcast thinking that there were truly independent and unbiased viewpoints put forward on any topic. But I noticed that after Trump win in last election, this show has slowly aligned with Trump’s blind followership. And the Feb 5 show was that straw that broke camel’s back for me., particularly when Tom justified the military intervention to remove Palestinians from Gaza… the phrase he used, “if it achieves complete peace, use of lethal force is good”!!!! While justifying this, he even gave example of native Americans getting cleaned out and how America is currently enjoying peaceful life!!!! Tom, sorry to say but I don’t agree with this. A strong man is the one who protects the weak; not the one who wipes them out and says “Finally, we have peace!” I hope this mentality doesn’t catch up with the rest of the Americans. Drew, I always enjoyed the balanced and honest viewpoints from you, probably the only semblance of fairness left in this show. Kudos to you! Good bye and good luck!

Used to be amazing, now it feels like a political show.
