What a joke
A short history of Trans fighting for equality in 2019 - Ted Talks has gone down the drain. Just embarrassing 😂

Blue church theology
Stale progressive orthodoxy. Superficial and shallow. Avoid!

Amazing
I had a really bad pain but this was amazing and enlightening and distracted me. This is great.

Not about what it says it’s about
The boredom talk is concentrated on *how to get bored*, about 5% is about why boredom’s good. Misleading premise.

Stop with the “Mary” adverts.
I love listening to these podcasts and very grateful that they are a daily occurrence! But of recent weeks, you have been advertising “Mary” with her NatWest business thing. And that’s fine....but please please stop this advertising happening at the beginning AND end of EACH podcast. We get it...it’s new! But I don’t want to hear it all the time. I listen when I drive and it’s not like I can skip it easily. Thank you!

Too much ad/promotional content
I find ~3 minutes of advertising/promotion on a 12-15 minute podcast excessive and distracting and has now become annoying and repetitive I've unsubscribed. At the moment it seems all episodes start with a 30-60s promotion of another podcast and ends with a 2 minute promo of the same podcast. It was okay the first fews times but after the tenth listen it's made me hit the unsubscribe button.
I understand the need for sponsorship and funding but maybe try and moderate it a bit, or at least vary it? "A short message from our sponsors" is one thing, but "we're going to allocate a 5th of this podcast to our sponsor" is something else.

Rubbish
Bunch of boring people talking about feminist agendas. Talking absolute rubbish couldn’t finish an entire podcast.

Daily dose of sanity
I love listening to these podcasts. So much variety of topics!
2017-12-10
Insightful
I appreciate these are the views/research of one person but I find some of the topics are quite bias. I really appreciate all the themes and views in the talks but there's no discussion or disadvantages to them which I can think of many to some views on the talks.

Fantastic
A varied selection, just the right length and very informative.
I've ended up listening to some I probably would have actively downloaded as well!
Highly recommended

Less Repeats Please
I really enjoy the TED Talks but just wish the totals had a distinction for repeats. I keep finding myself listening to an episode I have heard before and when driving I can't easily skip the episode because this has to be done on the phone. Please list repeats separately on a repeats podcast or at least mark them so I can just delete them before setting out.

Short, Sweet and thought-provoking
New, balanced views of the world presented in short, sweet streams.

Powerful, encouraging and awakening. Cheers.

Great but for one thing...
I love listening to these TEDTalks. They are interesting, inspiring and entertaining. I listen to them while I am driving to work, while I am cooking in the kitchen, when out in the garden and elsewhere. As a result of the mobile nature of when and where I listen to these (audio) podcasts, it is infuriating when some of them start "This TEDTalk contains powerful imagery. Go to the TEDTalks website to download..." blah, blah, blah. If the talk involves powerful imagery which is crucial to the listeners appreciation (and indeed understanding) of the content, don't use it for an (apparently) audio podcast, please!

Great
I love it

Quality audio - as good as the shows
Brilliantly edited for radio and a fantastic way for us radio heads to gain access to the TED talk content. All credit to NPR and Guy Roz...

Brilliant
An amazing podcast and a great way to expand and learn more about the wonderful TED talks.
2016-03-04
Often Unmissable, when not, just Great.
Love the range of themes and how this podcast’s editors delve so deeply into the TED Archive to tie all the talks so well together. Sum of the Parts definitely creates a greater Whole. Keep it up Team TED, thanks for the hours of fascination!!

Actual talks are great but has issues
The content is probably the best thing u can get on pod cast HOWEVER there are 2 issues that need addressing
A) reformat titles so you can actually READ THE TITLE
B) some of the talks rely on video and these should not be on podcast
2013-03-10
Title FLAW!
Love TED talks but hate the fact i cant scroll through and choose what i download since i can only see TED on the title and not the topic!
2012-04-25
Great but with a small flaw
These podcasts are great, I live having them with me in the car. The flaw is the titling that another user has also mentioned.
On my iPhone I can only see the TED Talks title and part of the name. I can't see the topics at all unless I download them. Please put the topics first so I can select those of interest.
Not sure if the fault is with TED or Apple but please can you look at this tiny flaw.

Powerful Images
I love TED talks and I was excited that there was an Audio cast. But it is SO FRUSTRATED that most if the audios I downloaded have POWERFUL IMAGES (as announced by a sultry female voice) that makes the Audio so frustrating to hear. I have SEEN several of the Videos where there is only a speaker and no visuals. Why can't they curate it, and publish in Audio only those lectures that don't need visuals?
Maybe for the same reason they don't fix the titles???? Could it be that such innovative institution is really set on their ways and doesnt wast to change to adapt to a new format????
2011-02-27
Inspiring!
Makes you feel a love of knowledge. TEDTalks encourages discovery, creativity and learning reminding you that anything and everything is possible. Thank you.
Please would you change the podcast titling to be readable on the iPhone as currently it is pot luck!

Mr
Great podcasts Please please change the formatting of the titles. Soo frustrating.

Great!
Simply great!!

Great
Such a great idea.
But one criticism that I hope they can pick up on - when you download them as podcasts for your iphone, the titles are impossible to navigate due to the screen size. Miss out 'Ted talks' and the speakers name, just go for the subject first. Sorry, I realise this is boring, but it's very annoying when you're out and about.

Amazing
TEDTalks is an amazing podcast. Full of interesting topics and speakers. Download now!

Thank you TED
