I thought the episode was very well done. The only thing that I think was left out and should have been mentioned was the estate tax. This episode made it sound like very wealthy people could just have their assets grow and when they die with the step up in basis, there is no tax. While that is true, anything they leave to heirs is subject to estate tax which can be very high.

A fantastic deep dive. Great topics and super thoughtful. Sony, please clear your throat.

My curiosity has been somewhat satisfied regarding the subject of AI after listening to this episode. I plan to share it with others that I think may benefit. I have been reading 1440 for about a year now and have gained knowledge on some subjects. I plan to continue and look forward to listening to more podcasts. One thing more… I agree with another’s comment regarding a less NPR “feel” would do well!!!

The readers are 1440 can handle a higher level thinking podcast flow out

A podcast form of what used to be referred to as the, “Reader’s Digest version”. It gives the reader enough information to understand some important concepts regarding the subject matter and often times inspires me to dig into it a bit further. Contrary to other’s reviews, I find the narrator’s voice very easy to listen to. She has a soothing voice but provides enough inflection and intonation so that one doesn’t drift towards slumber.

Interesting but there is way too many loud sounds effects on top of people talking. It’s incredibly distracting. I won’t continue listening.

Already re-listened to a couple episodes

A little less of a NPR vibe would be nice.

Kept me engaged the entire pod

I like 1440 in print. It’s obviously well-intentioned, and you never know what the site will focus on. But I was immediately put off by the girlish narrator on this podcast. She has the cutesy, faux-intimate manner that makes NPR so cringe-inducing. (And speaking of cutesy, I didn’t need the sound of peeing at a reference to urination. These childish sound effects dumb down the podcast and reinforce its overall condescending tone.)

Informative and concise

I love 1440’s podcast. Great information and easy to listen to.

A lot of interesting information. Sound effects were a little much though.

I grow weary of political podcasts. Too much complaining and doom and gloom. Great just to listen to some informative and interesting information.

I’ve been reading 1440 for two years now. I’ve always appreciated their unbiased reporting with cited sources. I listened to their first two podcast and really enjoyed them. I look forward to seeing what they come out with next.

Apparently evolution exponents believe that civilization and farming began with drunk primates. Funny. Let’s be clear that true science is defined by observation of phenomenon (a subject) and the testing and proving of theories based on observation. Evolution has not been observed and has many, many holes, making it as much of a faith-based belief system as any religion. So my “faith” in 1440 has been undermined a bit.

The podcast on Credit Cards was a disappointment because it missed a big reason customers are being pushed back to cash transactions - that businesses are adding 3-4% to any bill paid with a credit or debit card to pass charges back to us - on top of raising prices to compensate for fees.

I already read 1440 everyday so I am delighted to have 1440 explores to learn more. I don’t have time to deep dive into all the topics and this gives me the opportunity to learn without reading. Can’t wait for the next one!

I listened to this podcast today and first of all love Sony’s voice, I love the sound effects, the music and the content. I love how thorough the research is. I feel like it would be great for kids to listen to as well. Good job keep up the good work!!!

Nice change from what else is out there.

Informative in an easy and engaging manner.

Can’t wait to hear this Podcast. Sounds very interesting. They have a great newsletter.

You are in my email so this was an easy progression..I'm taking a break from music and I'm listening to move my brain...and this is good!!

I’m excited about 1440 Explores podcast! I will be listening every morning during my hour long drive to work!

Really love the topics in the trailer. Excited for the episodes!

News right down the middle for those who want to know
