"What Now? with Trevor Noah is the perfect mix of important discussion and entertainment, as Noah’s comedic nature complements his serious side. However, this podcast is not for those looking to unwind. Turn it on in the car or listen during breakfast for a highly stimulating listen."

"Here, his version of a “great conversation” is an hour-long festival of fawning and flannel...It is one of the advantages of celebrity-led podcasts that the hosts can bring in big-name interviewees. But it’s also a blight because the ensuing conversations quickly descend into chummy love-ins...if he keeps up this simpering style of interviewing, he’ll be lucky to have an audience at all. …"

"...in his first episode, the conversation was far from difficult. Noah could have asked Johnson why he and Oprah Winfrey didn’t just fund the Maui fire relief themselves. Instead, Noah merely asked Johnson how the criticism made him feel, without following up to get into how much should be expected of the rich and famous versus the rest of us."
