I wrote about the Silmarillion and my admiration for the Noldor in my successful UChicago application essay 7 long years ago so the episode about that was a real joy. Love agora as a network and the collabs really speak to its spirit.

A great and informative podcast. The episode on philosophy was truly inspiring and, dare I say, nearly brought a tear to my eye.

This podcast at first appears to be a random hodgepodge of things until you realize it is a real behind the scenes look at the Agora Network. What these interesting and educated podcasters talk about in their spare time, the gabs they would like to fill in on their own shows, and their motivations in podcasting. If you are the type to listen to How Sound you will definantly enjoy this.

I'd really like to give this a higher-rated review, because the topics covered are quite interesting and relevant. However, I should have been expecting that, despite the protestations of the invited podcasters, the comments and viewpoints of these panelists was patently the same leftist pap that one could easily find if one were to find oneself (hopefully unintentionally) on MSNBC, which parrots the increasingly-delusional left around the world. Of course, such viewpoints are considered standard-issue and very enlightened throughout the typical academic circles and eddies in which the fever swamps develop as of late, but are just the center-left equivalent of the just-as-delusional Birther movement that developed in the US during the Obama administration. That was, of course, condemned by the "mainstream" media then, but now this new Russia-oriented conspiracy is wholly embraced by those poor sufferers of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Nevertheless, I will continue listening, as painful as it may be, because I am not the close-minded hater of free speech that the typical university administrator might be. Also, my gentle encouragement would be to at least make an honest effort to find more diverse views -- it is likely you might have to venture outside the comforts of your varied academies and establish a foreign office in that netherworld you may snidely refer to as Flyover Country!

This network does an excellent job of presenting topics related to history but would not be covered in the individual podcasts themselves. My only regret is that the recommendations have filled up my iTunes podcast subscriptions to the point that I cannot keep up with new episodes coming out. I only have so many hours in a day with open ears!

This feed is a great way to be exposed to a variety of interesting podcasts by some of the greats.

Shows what a lot of work goes into this, it's great to get a 'behind the curtains' of many podcasters -- but it's also great what Agora is doing for them and the podcasting community!

Shows like The Exchange give me a new appreciation about the hard work great podcasters put into their work. Keep up the great work!

Its been a long time coming but finally there's a show like the Exchange that lets listeners peek behind the curtain and hear podcast creators speak off the cuff about their subject matter and talk about how and why they podcast. There are a bunch of other really cool collaborations too, definately worth checking out!

It's excellent to hear all these history shows come together and give us such collaborative efforts! Keep up the good work, and don't listen to haters like NYC...

This is just a podcast about another podcast.
