Listener sentiment
Listener sentiment toward "We're Out of Time" has turned sharply negative in the most recent reviews, with a consistent run of low ratings centered on host Richard Taite's on-air conduct. Reviewers repeatedly describe him as patronizing, self-centered, and prone to interrupting or talking over guests — several note that episodes featuring knowledgeable experts or compelling subjects were undermined by the host inserting personal opinions, offering unsolicited advice, or steering conversation back to himself. Positive reviews from earlier in the window still praise the show's mission around addiction and mental health, its willingness to tackle taboo subjects, and specific guests whose stories resonated deeply, particularly with listeners personally affected by the fentanyl crisis. The divide that characterized earlier ratings — admiration for the content versus frustration with the host's delivery — has narrowed toward frustration in recent months, suggesting that Taite's interviewing style is increasingly outweighing the show's topical appeal for new and returning listeners alike.
