A Million Man and A Million Woman and A Million Transgender and A Million Immigrants and A Million with at least two years of community college booing Trump at his “ Sworn In” and his parade. No need to hold signs or violence . Form peaceful groups and BOO him relentlessly. Pass the plan, Alex.

I started listening to this podcast because I was interested in Jonathan Tetelman, and I thought the interview was unique and interesting. Alec was engaging, funny, and self-deprecating, which allowed this great opera singer to tell his story entertainingly. Since that day, I have been a fan! I wish Alec the best in his endeavours

You are candid, and what could be deemed as sorrowful, pre-election angst, resonated with so many people. And, of course, the unfortunate ultimately temporary disappointing outcome. But your honest worry and concern absolutely validates those of us who think the same way, so thank you.

I’ve recently and happily stumbled on this podcast! I’ve been a fan of Alex Baldwin from elsewhere, but this is yet a new facet of his talent: turns out he has a great voice, and agile mind, asking great questions, on salient issues. Thank GOD someone is focusing on critical issues other than politics. Climate change—AKA Climate CRISIS! We have SO far to go to address the problem and SO LITTLE time! For a long time, I’ve felt a bit like “chicken little” alone in my angst! I so welcome the company of Such great talent as Mr. Baldwin! THANK YOU! Trains! You mentioned trains—could we ever possibly transition more deliberately from reliance on the automobile to TRAINS? Yes, keep the cars for local use when needed, but load them onto trains, along with their passengers, to travel long distances. There’s a precedent for this: for half a century or more, wealthy New Yorkers have traveled by train to spend their winter vacations in Florida. Those who own cars have transported them by train! What a brilliant idea! Are you aware that automobile travel is extremely dangerous? Look at the statistics! The chance of dying in an automobile crash—the lifetime incidence is one in 104! Airlines have an incidence more like one in 4 million! Yet what do we fear? Flying! While it is the automobile most likely to kill us. Just goes to show, familiarity breeds complacency—as well as contempt! Don’t even get me started on the “motorcycle” which in the ER (I’m a retired doctor) we refer to as “donor-cycles.” State law should REQUIRE all motorists, whether by auto, motorcycle or bicycle, to be organ donors. (Bicycles are reasonably safe. It’s when they share space with automobiles that they become dangerous.) Did I mention I’m obsessed with safety? …Rachel Scott, septuagenarian author of “Muscle & Blood,” c 1974, Dutton, a muckraking book on the many causes of death in the workplace, fueled of course, by corporate greed.

So grateful to get to hear Alec Baldwin on the regular! Not only is he probably one of the best interviewers out there but I just love hearing him - honestly he doesn't even need a guest because he’s just so entertaining to listen to. I know he probably hates regular show business now but I still hold out hope that he will return to film because he brings something that no one else has. He’s a huge talent no matter what he does. Please keep them coming. 🫶🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Alec does an amazing job with his interviews. Always find them interesting!

I have been listening to this podcast for years. Alec Baldwin is an erudite and articulate renaissance man with an inquiring mind and a sharp intellect. He explores a broad range of topics with insightful questions and always allows his guests to answer completely. I am also very happy to hear that today the judge dismissed the charges against him in Arizona. Various officials kept trying to stack the deck against him. Plus some of the people in the district attorney's office, and also some of the reviewers of this podcast, clearly have zero knowledge of how things work on a film set. And the gratuitous, hateful comments about his wife and children are ugly and unnecessary. I am happy that Mr. Baldwin will now be able to get on with his life and the wonderful work that he does, as an actor, a podcaster, and in many other diverse pursuits.

I’m looking at the mixed bag of insightful vs hateful reviews. I don’t find Alec arrogant or egotistical any more than the rest of us who think there so very smart. I am tired of hearing people weigh in about his ongoing legal battle. I find it interesting that a sanctimonious Republican indicted him. I really liked this podcast and I think the Baldwin are inspiring in these dark times. Thank you for this podcast and let’s all try to a little kinder to each other.

The guest is always allowed to expound as much as possible, unlike many other podcasts

Jackie said I wanted people to see “what they did to him” She knew who the “they” was

I’ve been binging this podcast and find myself singing along! Some of the interviews are with musical theater. Not only is it wonderful to hear their journeys, but the interviews end with a song. I’m loving it! I also appreciate that these aren’t fluff interviews. Guests cover the highs and lows— which the podcast does a great job of reminding us that even doctors can have lows and struggles getting their work seen.

I’m a long time listener. Alec’s knowledge and information never ceases to amaze me. I am currently listening to “Ben Steele, American “. A bit of a departure from the usual “Here’s the Thing” interviews this is a fascinating and informative verbal documentary. Outstanding work by Baldwin and staff! Kudos!

After being in the spotlight once again this week for being an advocate for violence, it makes perfect sense that Alec Baldwin has his own podcast, no one loves the sound of their own voice as much as he does. He excels at bloviating there is no one better at it than him, just ask him. He thinks he is better than everyone (a perfect example is the many well documented times he has assaulted people for simply daring to speak to him!). Why he is not in prison for murdering Halyna Hutchins is a mystery. I especially love when he pontificates on the polluting of our oceans. The man who has at least 3 gas guzzling SUVs to take his VonTrapp amount of children and spanish impersonating wife all over NYC while owning at least 3 homes (2 of which he rarely spends time in), not to mention all the single use cups you see them using on their social media accounts. He has no shame, he killed someone yet he feels it's perfectly fine to keep his (& his dopey wife too) social media public where everyone can see the nontent they deem interesting. Most people would lay low and not attempt to draw attention to themselves but not the Baldwins. To them, all attention is good. Even his loser brothers are just about as insufferable. The entire family should just go away.

I just can’t get into it. AB comes across as sanctimonious and harsh. Maybe he needs to go back to acting because being his “real self” isn’t working.

So the loaded gun in your hand just went off and fired itself? Come on Alec, you and your wife with the fake accent have destroyed all credibility. Almost as ridiculous as a Long Island boy pretending to be a cowboy in a self produced Western .

Great episode

Love this podcast! Alec Baldwin is an excellent interviewer and the people he interviews and subjects covered are most interesting. Thank you thank you for the interviews with Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart!!!! ❤️

Here's the Thing is a podcast that excels on multiple fronts. With a Renaissance man as a host, I have enjoyed the shows I thought I would like based on their descriptions and shows I was sure I would have no interest in.

Great conversations. I’ve listened for years.

Don’t murder anyone

Listened to this podcast for years, and am happy it continues. Alec brings warmth, enthusiasm and empathy to every conversation. We got your back

I’ve just discovered this podcast and I think Baldwin is utterly fantastic: his knowledge, appreciation for his guests and their art, and — despite what some reviewers say about his habit of interrupting — interview skills. Also, I see Baldwin has been doing this podcast for a decade. Unbelievable.

I have been a fan of this podcast for many years. I loved Alex’ choices for guests and he really did a great job. Elaine Stritch and Tony Bennett’s son - totally loved from years ago. Then I lost touch with the podcast. I am so glad it is back as I never listen to podcasts. I will definitely listed to Alec. He has that old school excellence and love for all things artistic with environmental and current events thrown in. He really gets it. Saw him in a music video of a tribute to Buddy Guy - “I’ll Never Go Blind” sung by Beth Hart with bass played by Jeff Beck. Excellent clip - he was in the audience and first to begin a well deserved standing ovation. Alec is a keeper people. He is a cool cat like Tony Bennett and the whole podcast releases a cool, sophisticated vibe. There is no one like him. Soothing late night voice.

Great podcast. I enjoy his interviews but wish he wouldn’t interrupt his guests so much. His guests will be answering his question and then he’ll interrupt them and ask them another question. Please let your guests talk.

He and Chris Cuomo should compete as to who could speak over their guests more often.

You should be in jail, you arrogant, alcoholic pig

Used to be a favorite podcast, but has lost it’s quality edge and just become one more podcast.

Just listened to my first interview of Here’s The Thing. Great podcast, I have always been a big fan of Alec Baldwin. Brian Hamill’s story, history and experiences left me wanting more, I could have listened to him for hours. Movies, pop culture, history, social and political times, Brian and Alec touched on it all, in a very elegant and engaging manor. I will tune in again.

No matter who the guest is, I end up loving these interviews. I would love to chat with Alec Baldwin, he seems to ask the best questions, and to be genuinely interested in his guests’ fascinating lives.

Tim Dillon has a really funny take on these poor people.

Where’s the zero star option?

I like Alec Baldwin, and I admire his passion for the arts. Having said that, I wish Alec would let his guests finish their own sentences and thoughts. I wouldn’t mention this flaw in his interviewing technique if it didn’t happen quite so often.

Why would I want to listen to an arrogant has-been actor who, for many years, peddled a lie to help his equally narcissistic and wannabe celebrity wife gain followers, becoming a momfluencer with lots of sponsors marketing the story of “the Spaniard-Latina WOC / ESL super mummy” ?? They’re both racists: Hillary for still affecting a fake Spanish accent and Alec Baldwin for supporting and mocking her delusional fantasies — White-privilege at its best

Alec, have you ever considered interviewing Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of the band America? One of the great bands of our time growing up, still touring and sound fantastic. Thank you.

I really enjoyed the episode with Cheryl Hines. I love stories about people who start out as “normal” like most people, who do amazing things and become extraordinary. What a delight she is! Such a talented, yet humble soul. I truly hope she becomes our First Lady, as she is a fabulous role model and inspiration for women and girls…and people in general.

Alec is a straight-shooter that really kills it

Alec had become a part of our family, my 9 and 12 years old boys are regularly inspired by Alec. He had fundamentally affected the way they understand how a serious rational well-mannered and articulated exploration of a topic is properly conducted. He had truly captured the interested of our family, and his podcast has become a way we measure time: “how long until the next podcast from Alec”. He is surely the next standard on how you explore topics and people in a very human manner. I really believe he captured himself and what he does when he asked Barbra if her mother was ever interested in how she felt as a person and artist; I believe he’s one of the most articulated journalists (thought he may not consider himself as such) out there, here is a human being honestly and deeply interested in other human beings. Keep it up, Alec. PS: you may have “worked double to come only half way” compared to people that have had “an uninterrupted boulevard of green lights”; but you have a human quality that is TRULY UNIQUE. Our family is thankful for having then privilege of listening to you.

I COULD LISTEN TO HIS CALMING VOICE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING. Love all of the wonderful interviews and intelligence. I listen to the show when I paint, it’s a great combo.

Add "radio" broadcasting to Alec Baldwin's strengths and you have another whole dimension and it perfectly complements his portfoilio of talent

Alec is trying really hard but he’s just missing the target and it’s killing me too

Through life’s ups and downs, Alec has emerged as one of the best humans on the planet, imho. He is an exceptional interviewer, game show host and actor. Here’s the Thing is one of my favorite podcasts. Thank you, Alec!

Good interviews. There are so many adds it’s unenjoyable. Adds break in mid sentence. It just ends up being a tedious experience.

Alec is great interviewer and a great conversationalist. He’s interested in everything and his guests are top shelf. Thank you for carrying on with life.

Alec is my favorite podcast interviewer! Every episode I learn something and it’s fascinating. There have been times when I read who was gonna be on the show that I am like that sounds really boring. But it never is! Alex knows the questions to ask and he’s interested in the person or subject matter. Every episode is a delight! I look forward to every one.

I just want to hang out with this guy. So interesting, so interested.

Alec never disappoints

If he hadn’t accidentally killed someone, I’d probably still be a fan. He kills people and his fake Spanish wife (aka Hillary from Boston) keeps on birthing them.

Alec Baldwin’s broad interests and insightful intelligence bring out the best in any guest he interviews. Alec’s breadth of knowledge on a wide range of subjects is only matched by his keen sense of interest he has in his subject. Plus, when he’s doing this podcast his wife can’t get pregnant. The poor lady needs a break.

Great podcast, Alec. Please keep interviewing!! Interesting, entertaining, & fascinating! ❤️❤️❤️

Love This podcast! I find Alec”a interviewing style to be warm and engaging. I’m so impressed with the amount of knowledge Alec has about so many topics. He has a way of making everyone of his guests seem interestiing
