Description

Interrogating current events, challenging assumptions, uncovering facts, and exposing realities that the government and the media would rather not talk about. Reason’s "Just Asking Questions" is a weekly show for honesty and open inquiry. We're skeptics of unexamined power. We don't want to be told what to think. But we do want to know which questions to start asking. Hosted by Liz Wolfe and Zach Weissmueller. Produced by John Osterhoudt. Just Asking Questions is published by the Reason Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) research and educational organization based in Los Angeles.

Great Content

This show had great content and great guests. The only detractor was that the hosts tended to interrupt themselves and stammered often.

Liz Wolfe

Liz Wolfe’s voice is like butter. No, I will not be taking questions at this time.

Um, it's uh...really good.

As with most Reason shows, the content and ideas are excellent. Sadly, the hosts are not well-spoken. I'd be so happy if they could learn to speak wit...

Almost there

Good topics, angles, guests, discussions, but the hosting is unbalanced. Zack's a strong interviewer... asks good questions and seems genuinely curiou...

Segment US on income

Alone and you’ll get a clearer picture of the electorate. All the gender/race/education segmentation clouds the picture. Go with income. Conclusive.

★☆☆☆☆

El Phantsmo 2025/05/10

Foolish

Interesting conversation about the failings of the Democratic Party in the context of Trumps appeal, but anyone equating antisemitism with antizionism...

★★★☆☆
