Recent Reviews
  • Mitja
    for privileged successful people only
    Episodes such as "An alternative to the midlife crisis" etc. are extremely superficial, and do more insult than encouragement, for people who may actually be in the life stage as explained by the speaker, but may not be as lucky as to afford or have any such options as the speaker seems to imply would be easily available to all. This podcast doesn't sound left- or right- leaning (as some fundamentalist ideological comments seem to denote), it's more that it's for "mainstream privileged successful people" as the only considered audience. Bad, unfair, and hurtful things happen to people in life, and TED talks are ... just talks, helping not one bit to those who suffer.
  • Harsh But Fair
    Unsubscribed after the Ken Chenault infomercial
    TED used to be great, but the quality of their speakers has declined greatly in the last few years. They also appear to be completely uncritical of the claims that get presented, even when there are obvious inconsistencies in the guest’s narrative. I honestly should have given up on them when they removed commenting from their site, because it was clear at that point that TED was no longer interested in the exchange of ideas.
  • Bonsallz
    4 day work week
    Does every talk have to touch on climate change and racism even when those two subjects have nothing to do with the topic. Enough of the woke mentality.
  • ElwoodBlues
    Boring inculcation podcast
    I am ok with the hard left bias, but the topics are no longer interesting and are just regurgitated left wing talking points. These may be good ideas, but they aren’t worth spreading because they are already out there. Also, they are trying too hard with the diversity and have overshot and it’s a bit awkward when they pass over the obvious expert in a field just to pander to identity politics.
  • Hehhehehehtyr
    Good job
    Can’t thing of anything negative but you guys are hilarious and it feels like your talking to us not throwing facts at our faces.

    Ted Talks
    Ted Talks sponsored by Rolex is the absolute Best Site for amazing and informative, educational and overall A+++ for being beautifully produced, filmed and presented by some of the most Brilliant Minds of our times. Changed my life as it is so unique! Like having all the Encyclopedia's in the World rolled into 1. Knowledge is hard enough to come by but TED Talks is superlative.:-)))
  • soaponapope
    There's something for everyone, but I do worry for TED's future
    TED is one of those things that is precisely what subscription digital content is really good for. by now everyone knows about the quality of TED talks so I'll spare you the superlatives. since its humble beginnings TED has only gotten better over the years, but even as it has expanded in range it's still Science and Tech at its heart and I do deeply worry that political innuendo, social sensibilities and religious tribalism have begun to infiltrate what has been and should be a glorious celebration of free thought, science and innovation. in my mind, there is no place here for climate change deniers, anti-Science Bible thumpers or Edward Snowden. There's something here for everyone and 5 stars isn't even remotely enough. Let's make sure it stays that way and, in fact, continues to grow by keeping this thing what it has been for years which is abastion of science, education and intellectual inspiration.
  • Fedexo
    Washed out
    I used to watch these regularly because they would increase my knowledge, but now they're getting tougher to watch for many reasons. In generalNd in my view, the opinions expressed in these talks are lopsided and presented as "fact" and "science" and the alternative ideas are shouted down (albeit quietly). Many messages (not all) have an agenda to tell you your way of thinking is wrong.
  • KG6EAR
    NOTHING ELSE COMPARES!
    This is the most educational, interesting, and far-out lecture/presentation/talk podcast/video series out there.. Bar none! Hands down, the best. Trust me on this, you want to watch every episode of TED talks. It will make you a better and more interested person in the world around you. Things you don't understand, once TED talks, you will!
  • DRMDMM
    Content
    Very interesting!!!!!
  • AAC 1
    Where are my pod casts!!
    The videos are great! love them but Why haven't I been getting videos since 8-16????
  • Big Dawg RC
    Some great ideas and a few boneheads
    Definitely, some of the ideas presented are great, but some are not. Watching them will make you feel like you are an intellectual elite, even if you aren't.
  • Oxford-commas-n-Oxford-shoes
    Dumber by the minute
    I feel lied to by all the idiotic positive reviews. None of these ideas are remotely intelligent and it's a total waste of time. For instance there was one on an electric skateboarder as "ideas worth spreading". Ummmmm it's safer AND cleaner AND cheaper AND healthier to just walk, or do the people at TED not know what walking means because they are fat and old. Electric skateboard is just about the most idiotic thing you can come up with and TED decides to feature it; what does that tell you about the people working there? Then there's one about an artist criticizing xia gang, laid off workers in china. Well DUH that's what happen when you go from communist to capitalist. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Full employment under all communist regimes, and massive lay offs of useless people in all capitalist societies. I'm not saying communism is better--there's poverty and low standards of life but yes everyone has a job. People working at TED really have no brains, but the people watching these and feeling enlightened are no better if not worse for propagating stupidity. This is the gross problem with America, really: a program like this "blows" someone's mind. I'm about to barf.
  • reynoldsfamily77

  • fojoye
    Educative
    This podcast is best ever, informative, educative and more. These presentations are food for mind. One can not be better informed. How can a clip be forwarded, maybe censored and aired. I have made this podcast from TED my daily food for thoughts
  • zpetkovic
    Won't Play on iPod Classic
    Let me get this straight. I absolutely love TEDtalks, and I've been watching them for several years now. All of a sudden, I can't play them on my iPod classic, and I can't figure out any reason why this should be the case. I'll still watch them on my computer, but I really hate not being able to have them on my iPod!
  • Alexander Snogglefork
    Why is there no Snogglefork TED talk?
    Personally, I think TED should invite me to give a talk. But until they do, I guess I'll make do by watching the other speakers, most of whom are brilliant, insightful, witty, and (probably) hygienic. I love science, art, architecture, literature, technology, and philosophy. TED manages to cover all bases.
  • KebbelTunes

Thank you, thank you, thank you for making these free to the public.

    Inspirational
    My language arts teacher was teaching us about spoken word poetry, and showed us a video of some poetry. Not only did the video display some of the poetry, but the poet told us about her journey through the process of writing. I was so inspired by the 20 min. video that I watched it twice more when I got home! I have watched many other Ted Talks videos, but by far, Sarah Kay was my favorite. It was actually the one I saw that day in school. Now every time I feel confused or defeated, I can just go to my downloaded video section and hear the beauty of Sarah's words. Please listen to Sarah's words-they really do change your perspective!
