Kind Words

“As great a podcast as there is. Because of Sam Fragoso, as good and kind as they get.”

— Ron Perlman

“Sam’s great at his job. I feel like I’m on some hip, FM channel. He’s a throwback!”

— Jeff Garlin

“This is a great authenticity moment in our country—it’s what America wants as all these years of scamming and misbehavior suddenly comes to the surface. The sorts of podcasts that carry the next wave are going to be the podcasts that move past the middle-aged media professionals trying to sound perky and natural, and that actually connect to listeners, especially younger listeners, by giving people room to actually be themselves. Talk Easy is that podcast. It’s a generational mediator in an era that seems desperately to need one.”

— Nathan Heller, The New Yorker

“Sam is by far and away the most careful, thoughtful, and best prepared interviewer I’ve ever had. Also, now that I am losing my memory I’m definitely calling him up when I need help remembering.”
