    The bell sound needs to go
    I love the body of the work, but the bell sound is extremely harsh and disrupting. I hope Lynn will reconsider this choice. I’ll get my takeaways somewhere else until then.
  • James888NJ
    An endlessly fascinating podcast
    Few shows provide such expertly insights into various domain of knowledge in a compact and engaging format. Absolutely an enlightening and informante podcast. Highly recommended for anyone that wants to get glimpses of the frontiers of civilization’s evolution.

  • Dtmflee
    Terrible Audio / Great podcast
    Lynn needs a new microphone. Rage Against the Machine audio but great content.
  • Mb38295
    Great Podcast
    Informative and an interesting listen.
  • a Proud Monkey
    Boring and dry
    The host brings nothing to the table. My takeaway is that she lacks awareness of her audience.
  • RaFa my dogs name

    Amazing podcast! A must listen.
  • Max9366
    Favorite podcast
    3 Takeaways is an excellent podcast that covers a wide range of interesting topics every week. The interviewer is knowledgeable and always prepared with good questions, but she doesn’t feel the need to talk over her guests unlike some others. 5 stars.
  • 2021podcast

  • I am a bowling ball
    Amazing Listen!
    This podcast always has new insight for me to learn and develop new ideas! I listen to it on my morning commute almost everyday!
  • SerenaB128
    Great podcast, really informative!
    One of my favorite things about 3 Takeaways is the diversity of business and thought leaders and academics. Each episode is so different from the next but equally as interesting. I love that one week I can learn about how all senses affect taste and the next I can learn about how to stop AI from taking over the world. 3 Takeaways really makes you think and expands your worldview. Would definitely recommend.

  • bopjkgfxvhjmm

    great guests and stimulating conversations!
  • nfarahan
    Amazing podcast, engaging, warm, thoughtful
    Three Takeaways with Lynn is an absolute treasure. Really interesting guests, deeply insightful questions, natural conversational tone, and even-handed treatment of the issues. Couldn’t recommend more highly!
  • My very favorite podcast
    I’m happy this podcast exists
    The 3 Takeaways podcast is a consistent delight. I’ve been a regular listener for many months and am not surprised by its popularity. The people interviewed are the crème de la crème in their fields and always (always!) share interesting, topical, useful information. Lynn Thoman asks the right questions, then gets out of the way. Three cheers for 3 Takeaways!
  • Gpooley
    Great content and questions
    It’s a pleasure to listen to your podcasts. Great questions in a calm tone.
  • abcsjdic
    Compelling interviews!
    Lynn Thoman offers a refreshing format - simple yet mesmerizing. She engages each guest with insightful questions. Surprised more people don’t know about it (yet!). And the length is just right!
  • Zvbxrpl799
    Sound quality doesn’t match interview quality
    The interviews are informative and to the point, and they would be perfect to assign for classes… I only wish the sound quality was better. Please invest in a good microphone or a recording equipment so the quality of the audio matches the quality of the interviews!
  • robertbob45ok
    A great podcast!
    The podcast features f ascinating discussions with extremely knowledgeable people. I learned a lot from listening to these podcasts, and strongly recommend them.
  • PDX MJC
    Amazing
    Great questions for big-league interviewees who have fascinating things to say: CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward, Monty Python’s John Cleese, Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman, ClassPass founder Payal Kadakia, former Prime Minister of Australia Kevin Rudd… the list goes on and on. And all interviewed with thoughtful, insightful questions by Columbia University Professor Lynn Thoman. She asks the questions I wish I had the wit to ask.
  • Bluelion44
    Superb Podcast
    When you combine fabulous guests with excellent and topical questions, the result is this 5 star podcast. The hostess is knowledgeable and probes deeply rather than acting as a fan/groupie. Great content. Time well spent.
  • margaretmolloy
    Must listen
    Lynn clearly does her homework. Great questions. Great guests. Great listen. The Goldilocks podcast!
  • JHT_newyork
    Content is a differentiator
    The podcast brings in more of the highest-profile speakers (Bill Gates, Larry Summers, etc.) than any other interview-based podcast I have listened to. The structure is both to-the-point, but lets the speaker elaborate on his/her thoughts in a free form style. As someone considering entrepreneurship and in the process of articulating my mission, I find the content to be informative and encouraging.
  • Many Takeaways
    Asks the right questions
    By asking the right questions, Lynn Thoman covers a lot of ground over a short period of time, but she never skimps on the details . With fascinating topics and knowledgeable guests, this podcast might be titled 3 Takeaways, but you’ll walk away with far more.
  • Ella Dado
    awesome guests
    Lynn has scored awesome guests for this podcast, it’s fun to see who is interviewed each week
  • izzy hook
    Look forward every week to this podcast!
    I learn something every episode of 3 takeaways and Lynn does a phenomenal job letting the guests tell their story.
  • Ezzy Rae
    Always informative!!

  • Kelly Aponte
    Great for young professionals
    I recently graduated college and have been looking for podcast to help prepare for this next chapter of my life. It’s intriguing to hear from top leaders and learn from their experience as I step foot into my professional career. Very insightful podcast!
  • Wes-ATX
    Awesome Podcast!

  • Biz Pod
    Awesome Variety of Content!
    This podcast is awesome for anyone interested in learning from true change-makers in today’s world. The variety of content is my favorite part - no guest is alike!
  • Robert Cialdini
    Dr.
    Lynn did a superb job of preparing for my interview. Her questions were insightful and allowed me to share what was most important and useful for her audience from the new edition of my book, Influence. Lynn's genuine interest and enthsuiasm for my work was palpable and made our conversation even better.
  • WhomEyE
    Informative, Entertaining, But…
    I’ve listened to all the interviews in the 3 Takeaways podcasts series. While the Topics and guest are terrific, the glaring lack of diversity -not a single person of color- is unforgivable. The overwhelming if not all of Lynn’s guests are successful, white, higher academia, left leaning individuals Personally I have nothing against members of the aforementioned groups but I feel like they only served as an echo chamber and self confirmation for Lynn’s biases and interests. I wish there were more critical, dissenting views and opinions to provide the listener with a more comprehensive/balanced point of view - Lynn is very doting and never challenges or offers opposing views to her guests Overall the show is worth listening because it contains more advantageous information and advice than ‘fluff.’
  • Snick1002
    Too few women
    It’s ridiculous how few women are featured on this podcast, especially since the interviewer is a woman! She’s also a boring interviewer and the episodes feel a little too edited. There’s no personality to it.
  • Anonymous1195
    Wonderful podcast
    Great conversations with a wide range of experts — I learn something new every episode
  • Buckwheatdog
    Fantastic
    Highly recommend. Each podcast is like having a memorable dinner conversation! I look forward every week to new insights on such a wide range of topics. These podcasts keep me thinking all week long!
  • Anonymous444
    Great Podcast

Anyone who listens to this podcast will be able to learn something new and use the 3 takeaways in their personal or professional lives. I recommend that everyone should listen in. Keep the episodes coming, Lynn!
