I used to look forward to this each week - The old format was a podcast I would enjoy first thing Saturday morning as I relaxed at the end of the week. The new format isn’t worth listening to, let alone getting excited about. I miss industry news, author interviews, and hearing a group of reviewers present what they read recently. I felt like I was in conversation with other book lovers and always came away with more titles to read. This format is forced and shallow.

A bit better - I did enjoy this week’s episode, with the return of various editors talking about the books they are reading. I hope this will be a regular part of the podcast in coming weeks. I appreciate that Gilbert Cruz let the editors take the lead in the conversation. The podcast still needs to be longer and especially needs to bring back interviews with authors. Nevertheless, this is a step in the right direction. I hope this means that the podcast is still a work in progress and we can hope for better things to come.

NYT Book Review slips - Hate to pile on, as Gilbert seems like a nice guy. But the show has gone from sublime to nothing special. Whose idea was it to have the boss “interview” subordinates each week? That makes no sense in terms of production or journalism. He talks as much or more than they do, for starters. This was an ornament of the NYT; now it sounds like something mashed together on deadline with a minimal budget. As someone else noted, you have so many great people on staff — not to speak of all the authors out there. What a loss. ... Is Alexandra Alter at all interested? She seems to have real literary strength as well as towering reporting skills.

Miss the podcast - I loved the podcast and I’m looking forward to its return. I loved the interviews, the publishing news and especially enjoyed hearing about what everyone is reading. The reruns are ok but I’ve basically stopped listening and I just check in to see if it’s something I haven’t heard or don’t remember. So the new content is ok as far as it goes but we are only getting %. So sad

Shorten A Podcast But Make It Seem Twice As Long - I was missing this Pod so much during its hiatus. Couldn’t find any info on when or whether it would return after the loss of the inimitable Pamela Paul. Was so excited to see new episodes appear in my feed. Was so disappointed to listen to them. Is this the final iteration? Because it’s terrible. Really- NYT. Just kill it- don’t make it languish in this painful state. Such a loss to my pod library.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 14:22:32 GMT

Not a fan - The new format is a big disappointment. I miss Pamela Paul with her witty, relaxed interview style. Guests were interesting and the longer format allowed for penetrating discussions. We now have brief reviews of current literature told by NYT staff and not the authors. Not worth the subscription. Will drop unless real changes are made. Replace Gilbert who enjoys telling tales of himself, which are mostly boring and self-serving, at best.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 12:12:00 GMT

Gilbert Cruz - please stop inserting yourself - Perhaps it’s the nerves. Perhaps you just need to hit your stride, feel comfortable in your new position, get a better sense of the audio medium. It’s one thing if you have something insightful to contribute (as Pamela Paul’s wide range and recall in reading enabled her to do with such seeming ease); otherwise the host’s role is to facilitate guests’ best performance. If you catch yourself about to say for the nth time “I really don’t know much about …”, “I haven’t read much of …”, then hold the thought and let those who do know and have read do the talking. This kind of knee-jerk self-insertion that serves no purpose than to draw attention to the self sounds puerile and unprofessional. All the other regulars — the critics, editors, reporters — had better on-air manner. Beats me why NYT didn’t choose someone with more proven experience to take over. Giving this once beloved podcast a bit more time to find its feet again, but very disappointed so far. Can NYT provide a bit of coaching and guidance? Perhaps pay Pamela Paul to consult-produce? We miss you (and your grapefruit rants), Pamela!!! ———————— One month later: Please just give Gilbert Cruz a pop culture podcast already, and let people who actually care about literary culture take back the Book Review. It is painfully clear pop culture is where his heart is at. Occasionally some books might enter his pop realm, but books just aren’t really his thing.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 00:39:22 GMT

Formerly great, now a waste - This was one of my favorite podcasts. Pamela Paul is an incredible interviewer, turning dialogues with authors into conversations and making me interested in books I would have otherwise had no interest in reading. Plus, the news from the book world and what staffers are reading segments were great. I realize not everyone has the same skill set, but this show is now dreadful and I’m unsubscribing after years of listening. This is the New York Times—if the editor lacks the skill at interviewing, I know for certain the talent pool is there in the staff writers to create great author interviews and a great podcast. Right now, it’s a waste.
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 09:27:54 GMT

Where are you, Book Review Podcast?? - This ‘reimagined’ podcast is a sad, sad shadow of its former self, which was stellar. A single theme with a single guest and a host who seems to always turn the conversation back to his own limited experience (usually his words, and then we get to listen to the guest console that insecurity.) Ugh. How do these changes get approved? Did the podcasts avid following mean nothing? This new version is an unpleasant waste of time.

Y’all make me happy - Jaci and Chelsea… I am in a weird phase of life right now. I recently lost my best friends(pretty much my only friends” because they got in a big fight. My parents and sister are spending the year in Mexico, they all work remotely, so I couldn’t join them. So I’ve definitely been feeling lonely. I’ve listened To the podcast since it started, and I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to every single episode twice now. In the car, at the gym, my daily walks and even at work. It makes me feel like I have some sort of community, which is so vital to me right now, so thank you times a bajillion. Xoxo I wanna share some of my fav moments from the pod: . When Jaci smelled her belly button king . The last mins of Chelsea’s gender reveal episode, I relisten to that specific part any time I’m feeling reallly down, it slays, you both just spat facts lol Anyways I love you guys, you’re helping me through a hard period of my life and I’m beyond grateful.

Tiger Queens - As a fellow GHS Tiger (‘), I found this podcast by accident and have been listening for a few years now. I also live in Southern California, with family still in Gilbert. I loved my experience in both the school and the town and enjoy hearing your perspectives. Your insights on life, what your learning, and reflections are wonderful. I wish I had this as a resource in my ’s and ’s. I wouldn’t have felt so alone in these everyday common struggles. Keep up the good work!

love them, but out of touch! - I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while and I truly believe that the girls don’t mean any wrongdoing, but lately I’ve been noticing that the things they say are very out of touch with the reality of many people. The girls live a very privileged life with lots of flexibility and prosperity which isn’t a bad thing, but they need to recognize this! Things like trying out new workout classes, finding time to go to the gym, eating clean, going on daily walks, etc., are things much of the country simply don’t have access or ability to do. Things in life become a lot simpler with money and it’s important for the girls to recognize this on the podcast!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 13:12:19 GMT

- i love the podcast, the best thing to listen too. i couldn’t even tell you girls how many times I started dying of laughter bc of how funny it is - and then i have my AirPods in so people be looking at me like im crazy and you know what i am but this podcast keeps me sane, i love the confessions episodes those get out of hand every time you all never let us down also if you could do any episode pop culture

Self improvement episodes… - Like many others have said, the “advice” and self improvement episodes are getting SO repetitive. I find myself almost confused when listening because it’s like they’re talking in circles about nothing. Walks, a self care routine, changing up your wardrobe, and elevating your daily tasks and routines is apparently the answer for everything. I actually agree with that, those are great tips for most things in life. But we’re sick of hearing it over and over and over!!!
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:08:09 GMT

One L after another - Honestly, I tried to look past the privileged, white girl, Mormon mentality for soo long but honestly it’s been one disappointing episode after another. They are full of ‘conspiracies’ until it’s about celebrities that they worship then they ‘can’t be sure’. It’s not just that example but ’s of others. I can already hear them say “if you don’t like us then don’t listen” - well, here’s to hoping you grow like you said you would and this is a warning to any potential new listeners!!
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 13:40:35 GMT

Getting tired of it - I’m an OG listener and used to LOVE this podcast. I used to listen to every episode because listening to it felt like hanging out with friends, but the pod has gone very downhill. I see a lot of complaints about the ads, but I can handle the ads, I’m all about getting that bag. What I can’t stand is the repetitive topics and life updates that take up half the episode. I’ve shifted to only listening to the story episodes and I’m not sure I can take it much longer. I’m so sorry, but I don’t want to listen to minutes of Jaci talking about how she thinks Uber has gone downhill. Vapid is definitely a good description.

Jaci has turned into a mean girl :( - I’ve always loved this podcast, but I feel like Jaci has changed over the last year and has turned into a mean girl. I used to think she was so relatable and fun, but now she seems disconnected from reality and really disingenuous. I feel like she’s even rude to Chelsey at times. I saw them live, and it made it seem even more like Jaci is insincere. :( I still love listening to and following Chelsey because it seems like she has stayed authentic and kind-hearted. Maybe it’s just me that feels like this, but I did stop listening because of it. :/
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 05:59:08 GMT

stars only always - To give these two any less than stars is truly an abomination. The humor, the convos, the relatability is /. I love listening every week and if I ever forget (which is rare) then I’m stoked the next week when I get to listen to two instead of one. It’s not their job to tiptoe around topics that some people might have strong opinions on or sensitivity to. It’s a listener’s personal choice whether to tune in or not, but to give them less than stars based on reasons totally unrelated to Chelsey and Jaci, seems like a personal problem… VVGs get stars from me always
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 18:55:02 GMT

Full of contradictions? - Edit: I officially stopped listening in January as it was becoming extremely materialistic and not meaningful at all. I even stopped watching vlog uploads which I used to love but drew the line when it was said that “I got my spray tan and now all my problems have gone away..” that was the tipping point. I hope you girls are truly living fulfilled lives deep down and not distracting yourself with the insignificant and superficial aspects of society. —— I don’t understand…you girls encourage young women to be confident and to love themselves but then you guys self-criticize your own looks and aesthetics physically? How are girls supposed to feel confident and beautiful when you are looking to fix everything on your face and what essentially makes you, YOU? I am not shaming Jaci for the plastic surgery but there are so many inconsistencies in your content and what you girls encourage vs what your actions say. Also you are encouraging this new standard of beauty that has been set where girls with waxed/threaded eyebrows, lip fillers, and voluptuous hair etc is what is seen as true beauty. Again, I am not saying these things aren’t ok. We should feel every right as women to be pampered and take care of ourselves…but not be dependent on it to make us happy and feel whole. Please understand that to a certain extent you are directly contributing to an unrealistic and saddening standard of beauty that makes other young women and girls feel extremely insecure.

Ash and Alaina sold out - This used to be my favorite Podcast. I started listening pre Covid and I couldn’t wait for the next episode to come out. Sadly this is no longer the case. The stories used to have so much care put into them from the research to the telling. I couldn’t wait to find out what book or doc Alaina recommended that she used in her research. But they farmed that out now the stories lack general depth. Ash and Alaina get off on random tangents now that take you out of the story and my the whole show generally unplayable. If you want your listener take read on the podcast you had better make sure it’s PDF format and the first paragraphs have to be relentlessly praising ash and Alaina or your story won’t get read. The guest host episodes are excessive and quite frankly dumb and are a blatant cash grab and clout chasing. It’s very disrespectful to the victims and their families. Also if I hear Alaina say “ as a mother” one more GD time I will claw my own eyes out. The early shows were great, when it was just and aunt and a niece hanging out taking true crime and spooky stuff, now it’s just hackey and overwrought ( like Alaina’s book)( oh I almost forgot if you leave a bad review they will say you’re the hater and are wrong, and Alaina will go on a min rant about it on the show), it’s worth listing to anything pre really. But that’s what happens when you sell the thing that makes you wonderful and unique to wondery, they ruin it. If you want a good TC pod then listen to crime junkie, Ashley and britt at least advocate for the victims and aren’t trying to blatantly make money off someone else’s tragedy.

Unsubscribed today. - I remember when I first found this show years during their second year. I fell in love with the banter, and way of story telling. From the full morbid to the mini morbid, I was hooked. Somewhere along this pass year, I stopped being able to finish episodes. Too many guest episodes where the host sickly-sweet gush over them to the point of nausea. Too many listener tales that clearly are creative writing exercises vs actual listeners. Too much holier-than-thou-as-a-mother-I-would-never from hosts who have never been in the victim’s shoes. Glorifying killers and joking while detailing gruesome victim deaths. Or completely leaving out horrific details that while terrible, truly are part of the story. I do not understand how one episode can be full on minute detailed and another episode telling the listeners they are going to have to google that themselves. As I said, I slowly stopped finishing episodes. Then I slowly stopped starting episodes. After nearly months of unplayed Morbid sitting in my queue, it’s time to let a bad thing go. I’ll miss Morbid. Or, I’ll miss what use to be Morbid, not the self-glorifying, hyper-yet-bored production that this podcast has turned into. Keep it weird. But not so weird you sell out.

Used to love this - I used to be a long time fan of this show having listened since when it was really good storytelling and minor chit chat intermissions but I had to stop listening months ago. I tried to get back into this podcast again this week but between the JVN episode and the most recent where the first minutes were about some reality tv show I could care less about I think I’m done for good. There is so much side chatting and making little jokes and silly ness through it feels disrespectful to a lot of the victims here. That was what I used to love about this show is that it was one of the few without that disrespectful air. Very sad about this but I was SUCH a massive fan that I’m sad to see this shift
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:08:04 GMT

Hoping things get back to normal - I have been a Morbid listener for years. I was hooked by the enthusiasm and well-researched storytelling. Lately the enthusiasm and research done by the hosts has hit a low. They spoil the outcome of the story too early, “Don’t worry, she survives”. I hope the reflect and get back to the roots that made the show great- deep, in-depth research by the hosts. And an enthusiasm, less dramatic approach.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 10:31:19 GMT

Old Morbid Good, New Morbid not so much - I just hate how content creators are OBVIOUSLY milking their fans. These subscriptions are unnecessary and I wouldn’t mind if the quality of the product went up but instead it was the exact opposite. The guests don’t add much of anything to the episodes. I turned off the “Jonathan Van Ness” episode off minutes in because it was literally the worst banter ever.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 09:51:49 GMT

This podcast has jumped the shark - Apparently, now it's Time Vander pump Rules rewatch podcast. Nobody cares... The hosts have gotten so far away from telling the story and are more interested in judging the people involved. Yeah we get it, men bad/women good. The guy hitting women in the head with a hammer is a bad dude but the woman that's running around killing people was driven to her killing spree because she was mistreated by men (the poor serial killer)
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 09:04:16 GMT

Disappointing & exploitative - As a small gossip podcast, it’s fine. As a true crime podcast, it’s disappointing and exploitative. They make light of very heavy cases. The cases and victims are no longer the focus of their episodes. This “true crime” podcast is very apparently a way for the hosts to exploit people for money and promote other celebrities. Just another marketing scheme disguised as an informative podcast.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 09:04:05 GMT

Stay Focused - I tried to start this podcast as a fan of morbid and creepy things. The episode was twelve minutes of them talking about going to DisneyWorld and then an extremely rude story about the staff. Just seemed like a very mean spirited group of people that wanted to talk about themselves under the guise of a creepy podcast. I’m not a huge fan of Disney or anything but if you want to just complain about something then find a more effective way.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 01:58:52 GMT

Stop what you’re doing and get weird (but not that weird) - This is my favorite podcast, hands down. I stumbled on it when I was kind of down in the dumps; it was the perfect thing. It’s hilarious— but still respectful, with a “come as you are, we’re all family here” vibe. I especially love the “spooky” episodes — forests, roads, lighthouses — but if Ash and Alaina are the weirdos behind it, it’s good stuff.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 23:12:35 GMT

Updated Review - I am glad that they are cutting back on the amount of episodes and are focusing on quality over quantity. I’ve also increased my rating because Wondery’s ads are a bit better placed now than before (would be mid-sentence/poorly thrown in). I like that guests on the show aren’t frequent. … Also, you guys don’t have to give as many disclaimers about your opinions (the real listeners know you’re kind-hearted gals with no negative intentions).
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:06:55 GMT

Is it arrogance? Bring back Friday listener tales - Lister tales on Friday was the episode I did not miss. Now that it’s monthly I will listen only monthly. I have listened since day and can handle change however it’s insulting to hear them say they made these changes due to listener feedback. I have turned many people on to this show. They are mostly turned off. If you want feedback like you say don’t have your groupies attack those of us who want to see you succeed. Who asked for celebrity guests? Your egos? Maybe you would have time if you didn’t sidebar and chit chat so often for so long that us as listeners lose track of the case. Is it arrogance that makes them think we want to hear their random personal tangents? We don’t care. A little was cute as it gives some personality however it’s been too much lately. Read your reviews. I am speaking for the collective.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 23:37:37 GMT

Love it! - I love this podcast so much I have been a long time listener of about - years and I seriously can’t get enough of it. The only thing I kinda dislike is them cutting down how many episodes and listener tales they’re gonna be doing now because I can get through these episodes so fast and I hate waiting for what feels like forever for new episodes plus I really really love listener tales. But of course I understand why and I wouldn’t want them to get burnt out.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 23:16:30 GMT

Easy to listen to - I like the detailed information and their storytelling style. They’re the most empathetic true crime podcast hosts I’ve listened to. It’s obvious they really put themselves in the shoes of the victims and their families. I also really enjoy the spooky and supernatural stories. It sets them apart from other podcasts that are strictly true crime. There are plenty of serious true crime podcasts out there. If this is too silly for you, move on.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 19:23:29 GMT

My fav gals in the whole wide world - I don’t even know what to say. It is perfection in a podcast. I literally exist for this show now. I wish I could have an episode everyday. But the queens of morbidity must rest thy blessed souls. They are so funny I literally want to listen to them and laugh with them instead of hanging out with anyone I know or love. I can’t stress enough how badly you need them and want them, even if you don’t know it. These gals are the GREATEST FUNNIEST GOOFIEST SMARTEST COOLEST HUMANS ON THE INTERNET. And they always remind me to keep it weird which I like a lot. Weird is good fun. GO LISTEN NOW!! Stop reading and go listen. Also Alaina wrote a book go read it, Butcher and the Wren (hope I spelt that right ok bye)
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 22:44:19 GMT

I love this podcast - I have been listening for a while now. I think that Alaina and Ash really have a lot going on between Alaina writing a book and Ash getting married. They have lives outside of this podcast as well as other podcasts they are doing. Nobody is perfect, if you don’t like something a podcaster does then don’t listen to it. I have listened to multiple podcasts and I couldn’t stand how one person would talk or how they breathed in the mic BUT I never wrote a nasty review over it. I just turned it off and tried to find something different. We dont constantly have to put our input in every single thing. We’re human. If you don’t like their style you don’t have to listen to them. I love this podcast, Alaina and Ash. They’re doing great and are back on track with more true crime. Give the ladies some slack
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:48:56 GMT

Love it!!! - I’m a little confused about some of the reviews talking about religion bashing- I’m a Catholic and have literally never been offended by these two ladies. It almost feels like a coordinated effort for a handful of internet trolls to leave some bad reviews that all sound kind of similar. The excess use of the word “woke” is a big red flag. I absolutely love this podcast. The ladies have such great conversations and cover stories so well. I love the banter at the beginning of the episodes. I really look forward to listening to new episodes every week. Also love the listener tales!! Keep up the great work, you’re doing great!!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:47:14 GMT

Increasing my rating to stars - I had stars, then star.. back up to stars. It mostly due to your hate towards Christians.. your last podcast, you told people to stop judging. But you both judge the church so much and the people who go to church. It is hypocritical. However, I’ll just laugh at you both when you make those comments as ignorance. I do enjoy how you do tell the stories. You still crack my up when I laugh with you and not at you. God is real.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:13:56 GMT

Funny and Smart Podcast - I love this podcast, these awesome ladies make me laugh and tell me stories in a way that I haven’t experienced from a podcast. I love listener tales and I look forward to exercising so I can listen on my walks. I truly do not understand the bad reviews I see, instead of leaving a bad review, just move on. These ladies are working hard and they are obviously beautiful and sensitive souls that only have good intentions. Their sense of humor’s match with mine, so I love their hilarious banter. I honestly feel like if I got to meet these ladies we would be fast friends. Keep up the great work and keep being who you are, please don’t change for the mean spirited people that leave bad reviews. Came back to say how much I love you discussing Vanderpump Rules! I seriously love you, please stay exactly the way you are!

Too Many Guests/Listener Tales - This last episode with JVN I just fast forwarded through min of annoying banter about irrelevant tv drama that I don’t even follow. If I wanted to hear a TMZ episode I would watch the shows myself. I come here for the great storytelling of true crime cases. Not this. Have been an avid listener for the past year or so but lately all the guest episodes are annoying.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 13:01:32 GMT

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya - I’m not sure why everyone’s being so negative about a show that they’re getting for free when it takes less time to find something else to listen to than it does to whine on a review. Like, there’s the door- don’t let it hit ya where the good lord split ya. If you love the girl talk aspect of true crime and demand a show that honors the memories of the victims, then Morbid is for you. I’ve been listening for years now through several changes and keep coming back. Love the true crime and supernatural stories alike. Some of y’all didn’t watch Mr. Rogers and it shows.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 01:29:26 GMT

my thoughts - they talk about super interesting cases but they’re kinda insufferable. . they seem to repeat the same thoughts over and over just in different ways and they just copy what each other says. . i’m here for true crime not minute tiktokker recommendations. if i wanted to hear about tiktok i would download the app. . alaina is kind of condescending, i’m sure she isn’t meaning to come off that way but it’s very off putting. . in the JVN episode it felt like half the episode was them just chatting and not a true crime podcast. hopefully they can lose some of the “silly” banter or tone it down a tad because idk if i can keep listening if not.

So fun, such sweet hosts, great research - These absolute sweethearts have such good podcasts. They have a really lovely way of approaching dark materials and I appreciate how much of a point they ALWAYS make about the worth and humanity of the victims. Solid research without making me hear ten million disjointed facts. Just a solid narrative or the crimes. Love this pod. I will admit I don’t listen to the guest episodes or the listener tales but tbh they’re so gassed up about them that I’ll just happily skip eps that aren’t for me. The girlies are having fun and making good content.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 21:38:37 GMT

Love these girls! - These wonderful women are the perfect balance of psychotic, hilarious, goofy, and wholesome. I love how they are able to bring knowledge to these horrid cases and subjects while not traumatizing all the viewers. I’ve had lots of trouble finding the perfect podcast for me, but Morbid really does it. I’ve always been kinda twisted and had a dark sense of humor and it’s great to find people who get that without being serial killers. Love these girls sooo much!!!

Randomly so funny - I love all of these guys, so I thought I would take a chance on listening to the podcast and I just absolutely love it more than I even thought! The fact that they don’t discuss in the beginning ahead of time what they are going to talk about is very fresh! I also already after watching just two episodes, have a list of shows and movies to watch again because I forgot how funny and good they are. Keep going, guys, this is so much fun and refreshing to the boring normal stuff in daily life.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:53:47 GMT

Above average, not the best - I like these hosts but they OFTEN overshadow their guest and talk louder and much more than the people they’re supposed to be interviewing. Also, this hour-long podcasts has as many commercial breaks as a TV show, and they’re even more annoying. This is a show that doesn’t need as many sponsors as other, better podcasts, especially given how rich these hosts already are….

These gents are getting me through a recent tragedy, one laugh at a time! - I have been listening since day ! I recently lost my fiancé in a very sudden, tragic accident. I cannot thank the endless talents of Sean (personal fave), Will and Jason. Maybe if Jason hadn’t done Teen Wolf - just kidding! I would like to listen to some more scholarly subjects such as the time bending chap who claims time travel could be possible….as it seems lately it has been more actors and director pals. However, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the ways you have helped me and I am sure, so many others. You are the very best!
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 20:52:07 GMT

Great material for wannabe’s - I’ve listen to every single one of your shows, and I’ve learned so much about what goes on both in front of & behind the camera. I’ve done a fair amount of background work, and Atlanta, and find it all so interesting. I wish I was younger! The honesty, the humility, the personal triumphs and various disappointments, the humor, and the banter are what I appreciate. Obsessed as I am with HANDMAIDS, the interview with Lizzie Moss was especially poignant. Having been obsessed with OZARK, I especially enjoyed the conversation regarding Jason’s work there. Now looking forward to hearing your conversations with Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, and others like them. Thanks guys! In the meantime, seriously considering getting up to New York to see Sean on Broadway.

Best Friends and Famous People - I love this show. They can make almost anyone fascinating and funny. One thing I wish they’d do is three episodes, one dedicated to each of the hosts so we can learn more about them as individuals. I need more info about the curriculum on the massage bus Jason Bateman graduated from, what Tracy was like as a kid and how she used to fight with Sean, and more about how Will Arnett moved from Canada to become one of the greatest voice and expert dialectic actors of all time. I’m begging you!

Good lord, this is bad - Imagine if People magazine were a podcast and you have a rough idea of what Smartless is all about. Each week, one funny guy, one snarky guy, and one additional warm body (all three celebrities in their own right) kiss up to whatever A-list actor happens to be promoting some new film or series they’re on. And boy oh boy, do these guys know how to kiss some serious celebrity butt. But they don’t stop there - there are tangents of pointless stories of living that celebrity life! Oh, how nice it must be to be a wealthy Hollywood semi-elite! So, if what you’re looking for is three rich guys who don’t have the slightest idea of how to interview someone and proceed to sing the praises of how amazing and nice and wonderful and skilled and talented some celebrity is, this is your podcast.

Dudes - Did Jason really tell Natasha lyonne who almost died and had open heart surgery from her drug misuse disorder that he felt his partying gave him some depth of understanding as an actor? What is even happening dudes? That’s like. So categorically awful to say to her, in that context. Do you really not know anyone who’s had misuse disorder? It’s not the same as partying. She lost a whole decade of her life and almost died. You lost a listener

I want to love this. - Look.. The problem is that the guests are drowned out by the hosts all clamoring to make their own bad jokes and tell their own stories. Just shut up so we can hear what the guest is saying. Also, the interviews are dull. Just blindly staggering down someone’s resume isn’t interesting. It’s why we never read headlines about their interviews. Nothing revealed. Stop with the surprise element, study up on your guest and put thought into what you’re going to say. Don’t be arrogant enough to think you’re above basic decency to learn about your guests in advance.

Mean isn’t funny - Sometimes this show can be really funny and I’ve always loved Jason Bateman. But Will’s mean jokey criticisms all the time are cringey and not funny, and I just can’t listen to his obsequiousness with guests while simultaneously bringing the stories back to himself. Please stop with the mean, especially about Sean. You know it’s a pattern when Jason regularly asks Will, “Is this going to be hurtful?” before he speaks.

i listen to y’all every night - i used to listen to true crime podcasts to help me fall asleep and obviously, would have very messed up dreams. first time i listened to these fellas, i just had a dream we all went to see jerry seinfield and is was really important to jason that jerry liked me. safe to say, i listen to this podcast every single night. the three parts of my personality are all in one podcast. i don’t listen to them because it puts me to sleep but truly, their voices are soothing and the podcast is so good it keeps me engaged. if i could have a hour interview with them and john krasinki, my life would be compete. i have to make sure to not listen to that if i am trying to go into dream land because i will just be laughing my buns off instead of getting my hours. please don’t ever go away.

can’t stop… actually will stop listening - this is my update: I’ve unsubscribed. Unfortunately, the host’s interview skills have declined to such an extent that each episode is maybe % of the actual guest talking. It makes me cringe for them. They constantly cut people off and they cannot interview a female guest for the life of them. They either focus on their partner or just gawk. The Emily Blunt interview was so disappointing. there is so much potential, but they must have a bunch of Yasmin around them because no one has told them to shut up and let the guest talk and finish their own sentences. this was my old review: can’t stop won’t stop listening. one of the only podcasts where I’ve listened to every episode even when the guest isn’t interesting to me. hooked. entertaining and fun.

Happy Podcast Friends - There's a lot of charm to these three longtime friends taking turns to introduce their guest for the other two to guess at the identity. While people like Billy Crudup successfully hold their ground, the overtalking and interrupting have crept to two degrees from listenable. The Brendan Frazer interview plays like a lost opportunity. Hope the trio recalibrate the joshing and asides back a bit, so listeners can feel a part again.

Simmer Down Claudia - I love the toast but hearing Claudia scream into the microphone and cry over waking up early was obnoxious. I get it, it was a bad day. But what about the people who get up early for their family purposely or maybe :am is the only time of day they get me time followed by a really stressful day of their - jobs and caring for their family? The fact that PT and book club were the only thing on her agenda was just showing entitlement.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 11:31:55 GMT

Something Fun for the Girls! - I love this podcast! Claudia and Jackie are funny, witty, and positive. I wanted a new show that’s more upbeat than a lot of what’s out there. I’m very confused by the negative reviews because they don’t really say anything controversial. The show is lighthearted and isn’t meant to cover huge political topics. If you want to hear about the state of the world, listen to CNN. Otherwise, we will be here talking about Bravo and Kelly Clarkston!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 18:45:09 GMT

Just chill out - I used to listen every day, but recently have decided to take a break. More than anything, it’s because of Claudias aggressiveness and both of their overall ignorance. I cringe at the way Claudia has been talking lately, she has been so negative, but also elitist at the same time. I think her age has been showing much more than ever before. Just chill out. Breathe. Take one extra minute to think things through before saying them. That being said, I’m down to give it another chance in a few weeks, hoping they take a minute to get in a better headspace. Came back after a break and am enjoying the pop culture breakdowns! But my GOD please stop yelling at us. I have to skip forward so often because I am getting screamed at for things I have not done? Please please stop yelling at me.

bye ladies - Started listening in and couldn’t get enough of these ladies! They used to be so positive, hilarious, and reminded me of my sister and I. Now it seems like every story they discuss is just a chance for them to be demeaning to their listeners. I can’t stand the constant berating of their own followers. Get off your high horse, and accept that other people have different opinions than you do.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 18:40:57 GMT

Unfortunately had to unfollow - Love this podcast and absolutely look forward to it every day! But Jackie getting so heated on specific topics (like the Amber Heard guilty verdict, obsession w Elon Musk) and her obvious right-wing leanings make it hard to be supportive of her. People are entitled to their opinions of COURSE but a little less bias on divisive topics (or at least media training) will really be helpful for her. Don’t want to see anyone canceled again! Edit to my above review: after no mention of Roe v Wade and in fact a lengthy diatribe on why they should NOT talk about it, I had to unfollow. Juxtaposed w the rant on Juuls from the prior week it was just too much.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 18:32:36 GMT

It’s the simmering anger for me - Stop reading and reacting to the Reddit community. If you can’t take criticism, don’t have a podcast. The way you make veiled digs (with that TONE in your voices) at the people who don’t like you is hella uncomfortable for the rest of us. Imagine Taylor Swift doubling down on a stupid, juvenile nickname because someone told her it was offensive. Imagine one of Jackie’s new fancy Boca friends turning on her pod and hearing this mess. Get out of your own heads and either put on a podcast that’s fun or hang it up!
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 12:49:02 GMT

Best podcast ever - I look forward to listening everyday on my commute home from work- it really makes the traffic enjoyable! Jackie and Claudia both have a lovely sense of humor and bounce off each other so well. I don’t always agree with their takes but I appreciate that they’re willing to say stuff other podcasts shy away from because they’re too afraid of offending anyone. This is a nice balance of real and funny while also respectful. stars!!

Former super fan - I used to be absolutely obsessed with these two and their podcast and their content. I loved their funny and positive banter, their insane pop culture knowledge, and their recaps (they are the sole reason I’m a bravo fan today). I’m really sad how much it’s changed. Jackie is now completely clueless about all things pop culture and news, which is extremely frustrating when she’s just guessing at facts about the stories they talk about. Also, I’ve never listened to a podcast where the hosts call their listeners dumb, and these two are now doing it almost every single day. They get SO defensive about any tiny bit of criticism and they are so negative, it’s become almost unbearable. I don’t really get the point of the podcast anymore, they hardly do tv recaps, they don’t keep up with pop culture, and Jackie won’t even share one tiny bit about her life. If they ever decide to start doing more homework and lighten up and learn to laugh at themselves, I think they could be great again.

Brown nosers - It’s pathetic and very transparent that you guys are riding so hard for Katie that you’re completely exaggerating, with your hate for Scheana. brown nosers. “Katie and lala are such good friends”???? Are we watching the same show ??? Katie hates lala but has no other person to use as a life raft because SHE HAS NO FRIENDS ON THE SHOW. Keep lying to yourselves. You can literally see they have NOTHING IN COMMON BUT NEED EACHOTHER
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 19:23:23 GMT

Wiiiiickedly Talented - These two make me laugh and make me think. I love listening to them talk (& sing) about literally anything. I don’t care about reality TV or country singers but still enjoy hearing you talk about whatever you choose for the day. Please don’t stop the singing, and don’t stop giving your opinions, even if they’re unpopular opinions Also LOL that some of these reviewers can’t pick up on irony.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 23:10:55 GMT

I would die for these ladies - I LOVE these ladies so much, they’re so unapologetically themselves! I feel like I’m sitting in the room with sisters I’ve never had! I literally laugh out loud every episode and even though ppl come at them for not being “experts” on all the topics they talk about, I’m just happy to be semi informed (and can do my own research on the back end if I need to). I started listening and August, and signed up for the Patreon the same week. P.S. I love when you both sing & don’t let the haters get you down lol XX

They love Nancy grace and Pamela Geller ?

My mom friend said you girls would spank your kids long ago too? How are you besties with gay people and support such right wing anti Muslim terrible things ?? Does your audience even know

Gone Downhill - I used to listen everyday for over two years, but the last year or so the show has gone so downhill! It used to be all about pop culture, (which they barely even touch on anymore), there’s no more reality tv recaps (they used to recap all the best bravo/E shows), and there’s obviously tension in each episode. as a former toaster, would definitely skip! not worth it anymore, just a negative show with nothing going for it

I come from a conservative family. - I came from a deeply conservative family and I do appreciate both of your works as they are what I grew up watching as a kid. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your work and ability to not be super political as it tends to divide and comedy in my opinion tend to bring together. Keep up the great work. Much love to the both of you. P.S. Carvey I would love another netflix special or please come to Okc bc you have a following in the Midwest that’s untapped.

Even better than you think it’ll be… - A loyal listener since day-one, I love the interviews and the SNL alum vibe. They really do a great job of bringing an honest approach to the stories, which is the best way to talk about SNL. Great guests talking candidly… I could listen to this show forever, but will tune out if you ever have Bert Kerscher on again. What a pointless guest Kerscher was. He has no connection to SNL, he’s dull, brash, uninteresting, and he literally brings that ‘morning zoo’ energy. He ruined the vibe of the show. I’m sure you see that. I’ve listened to every show, but couldn’t get minutes into this episode. He’s unfunny, and has no charisma in front of a microphone. Thanks for letting me vent.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 02:05:36 GMT

THANK YOU - Firstly, the two of you are icons. I am in my s and grew up with Saturday Night Live, and you both are very much a part of my (and my four siblings’) young adulthood! I’ve seen all of your movies over the years, as well. Secondly, and perhaps my main message here, is that it’s such a blast to listen to you chat and crack jokes & all the things. What you’re doing is bringing me so much nostalgia and JOY! You bring joy to many of us, and I continue to share the podcast info with friends and family. It is a highlight of my week to take a long walk and listen & laugh with you, with just the right amount of nostalgia. And your guests have been amazing and I especially loved the tribute to the great Chris Farley. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! You’re the best.

More satisfaction - Hey Dana and David, Love your show, and hope it goes on for a long time! It’s really interesting to get insights about SNL from two comedy superstars who have brought joy and laughter to millions (hope I said that right David)! My question is, can you talk a bit about the process of writing jokes? Also does the feeling of creating a killer bit give you more satisfaction, than actually performing it in front of an audience? Thanks for the laughs!
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 22:17:49 GMT

I love youse, just the way youse are! - I gotta say all the “Whaah-Whaah” Critics out there really need to quit crying about how you Guys are doing on your OWN SHOW!! Do they not understand the Friends BSing premise and or who you two are?! Drives me crazy to see nit picky repetitive bad reviews. I’m here for all of it and loving it! I say thank you for another excellent episode!! Zach was a great guest, the laughs were needed. Dana’s impersonations will always kill me. Especially his Mr. Kotter era Travolta.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 13:39:54 GMT

Great,but - I love SNL and David Spade.I will cry if it ends BUT Dana’s insecurities is rough, he’s always begging people to say he’s funny and he interrupts so much and he’s a one upper. I am constantly annoyed when he cuts off people who are in the middle of a story I want to hear but never will. To tell some stupid story about himself or show off how he learns voices it’s not rocket science!
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 17:41:04 GMT

SNL - Weren't these two on SNL like years ago? Too bad that's all they did because that's all you get to hear about over and over and over and over again while they blather on and on about it. It's like listening to two people talk about working at Sears in and all the good times they had and nothing else. Want to hear a funny story about how their boss liked to drink an Amstel Light in ? Isn't that funny!? Then the guests just talk about SNL too. It's just the worst.

First review of a podcast - Never have I ever written a review of a podcast. (This is where you drink if you have.) CONaF kills me. Conan, his chill chums, the guests…all gold. My -year-old son now requests it to fall asleep to. (Who knows the amount of therapy he’ll need later as a result, but that’s a tomorrow problem.) I genuinely felt a little blue when I realized I’d gone through all the episodes and my bingeing days were over leaving me to wait for new material like a peasant from the s. Conan is going to hate all of this, since he can’t take a compliment, so I should probably just stop now or he’ll make a whole meal of this. You know what…never mind. Eff this podcast and the translucent, red horse it rode in on. There. Does that make you happy now, Conan??! Gah!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 21:05:43 GMT

Yeah… I grew up watching this guy. - I watched him in the early days and all the adventures in between up to now. Not saying I watched everything but it was a good amount. Sometimes I wished I gave more attention earlier when I was younger but I am glad to have the opportunity to not miss out on his podcast. Conan to me… I feel he’s the only modern comedian/host that is part of my childhood growing up and still kicking it in his brilliant ways. Consistent to his core and relevant in such a wonderful and special way. You are a gem. Thank you for being you and giving that part of you for all of us to enjoy. Your drive and hard work for all of our laughters is long overdue of all the thank you’s, you, could possibly receive from all of us :) I am glad to still have the chance to hear your own laughter. It’s what brings everyone here the most joy :) I hope you have enough gas in you to keep on going for many years because I would love my kids to experience you as I have, too.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 06:35:51 GMT

My favorite! - I love everything about this podcast. Conan is hilarious as always. But I think my favorite part is when Conan inevitably gets carried away and you hear Sona in the background with an, “Oooh.” It’s so simple, but I can picture it so well and it makes me laugh hysterically every time. Since getting SiriusXM a few months ago, I can say with absolute certainty that channel has been on % of the time.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 04:18:57 GMT

An easy switch - I listened to Howard for years going all the way back to Hartford at WCCC but until I heard Conan, I thought it was very funny but when you compare the two shows, Howard is humor for yr old locker rooms and demeaning and getting very old. Conan is not narcissistic and I am laughing out loud at the conversations before the guest is introduced. The Whole Foods / Dennis Miller / stroke was the funniest ad lib ever! I watch on YouTube and listen on all the time ( he deserves to be moved down to at least) . LOVE THE BANTER! Kedakai! As god made her!

More musical guests! But only if we can’t hear the music like the Neil Young episode! - I’m reminded of my college days when a couple friends were DJs for the school radio program. They had a guest they interviewed, but the guest’s mic was off the entire time so we only heard one side of the interview. The way you discussed how magical each of his songs were after we had a chance to meditate in silence was truly a gift. But you guys are still the best and I appreciate all of you!
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 00:36:13 GMT

Like a room full of my funniest friends - I was never a fan of late-night TV, but I always found the clips of Conan interacting with Sona, Jordan, and his staff hilarious. I recently discovered the podcast, and the humor that made those clips so great has been extracted and fine-tuned to fit this new format. Listening to Conan, Sona, and Matt interact feels like being in a room with my funniest friends where everyone gets the joke. I've replayed most episodes multiple times because the comedy feels fresh, and I still laugh even after or listens. And Conan being more of himself and conducting interviews in a more personal and relaxed manner is so much better than what you get on any TV show. I’m lovin’ it!
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 12:52:52 GMT

Go back to the old days—too promote-y - I have been listening to this podcast from the very beginning and nowadays it’s wayyyyyy too promotional. Conan, you originally said this would be a way to talk to guests without having to promote their stuff. Well please go back to that! Conversations with Tig Notaro and Amy Sedaris and Zach G. are fantastic because it’s just a natural chat with super funny people! You’ve turned this into a disingenuous “show” that’s just like watching late-night TV shows with a host. And seriously stop doing the live shows—it’s so overly hyper and Tracy Morgan told the same jokes he told on the - podcast episode. Colbert described it perfectly: listening to a podcast makes the listener feel like they’re in a room with you. The theater shows make it feel like I’m just listening to a forced/scripted TV show and can’t see what’s going on. For now I’ll re-listen to the original seasons and skip your new episodes.

Interesting - My name is Charles C. Cummings. I find your podcast amusing. I listen frequently with my boy: Claudius. His humor has not yet matured ,so this is a quaint place to start I suppose. Im writing to you so that you may hear my praise. I’m a very important man , and I wish to make my appreciation heard through the Inter-webs. I find your portable caster as thought provoking as it is humorous. Never in my years of existence have I been tickled so. So much so, that it’s peaked my curiosity. I wish to analyze your brain O’Brien. Find what makes you tick in hopes of recreating it. My personal physician, Clarence, has assured me it can be done. Respond immediately. I’m not a patient man O’Brien. Sincerely yours, Charles Chester Cummings

Confused - God I love you guys!! But Conan please clarify ( or Gurley. ) I thought the presidential yacht was the uss potomac ? Wasn’t that the yacht FDR made a lot of deals & diplomacy on? Please clarify. Inquiring minds want to know. Bestest Verg PS if you and Gurley go To maine to see this boat please film it as a remote. ( relent and let Sona come too.) Pss: loved all of you at the beacon w Colbert ( you can hear me. Quite literally. )

Nothing a bar of soap won’t fix - Of course I love listening to this podcast - that’s why I’m here. But I want to address something that Conan has brought up a few times now, on this podcast and when talking with Terry Gross a few years back (I remember it well, because I was listening to that interview as I ran in Japan at night in a typhoon, as one does). Conan has talked about having a nanny or babysitter at one point who washed out his mouth with a bar of soap; he claims that no one younger than him could possibly have experienced this. I’m here to tell him he’s wrong. I’m and my mom did this to me multiple times as a kid. To be fair, I grew up in Wisconsin, which is always at least - years behind the times. For anyone who hasn’t experienced this, I can tell you that that fake floral, medicinal taste doesn’t go away quickly; perhaps Conan still has a visceral reaction anytime he smells bar soap. Yours in Irish Spring, carrie.

Are you my mother - Conan? Sona? Matt? Anyone? Are you my mother? If it’s not maternal can we just pretend it is because I love you three a lot more than my mother. No this isn’t bait, but I’m writing you from a motel of sorts. I’ve left a few reviews but they never get read and I have to wonder why? I always try so hard. I think you like silly so I think you’d like my wife. You won’t hire me but I think you should hire her. She’ll work really hard. On a personal note I left you one review that wasn’t that nice and I think that’s why you won’t give me a job. But this one’s a lot nicer so you should help my beautiful wife now. She’s the female Conan but with a better behind. Her eyes aren’t as blue though. Sona, I don’t care if your six gummies into the wind I think she’d make you cocktails so you can get twisted, man. And Matt. One time I said you didn’t tell any jokes and that was a low blow because you’re funnier, more charming, and more mellow than me. You work it. But why are you editing a genius? Just let the good times roll. Thank you for making this podcast, this media reigns supreme (but my wife could help).

Swollen Taint - Absolutely love this podcast. Easily the best out there. I was listening to a podcast on Thursday // and I heard an ad for diabetes medication. I don’t find having to take insulin funny nor having to deal with diabetes. Although this specific ad had the typical fast read side effects at the end. One of the side effects being a swollen perineum. Knowing that word means taint I just couldn’t stop laughing at the idea of being part of that test study. Sitting in a room of other people participating and scanning each person from the cockaroo or vagiroo to the butthole-a-doo searching for fellow subjects with big puffy taints. Having worked for a diabetes care provider I’m fairly sure not all insulin will do this. I am thankful though thanks to this podcast I now know how to pump up my perineum when needed. Love and appreciate you all. Keep up the great work.

Always makes me laugh! - You all bring me joy and make me happy every time I listen. I hope you all realize how special this podcast is. Conan is the brilliant self deprecating host (I actually think he and I have the same brain sometimes... except he’s actually spontaneously funny) Sona is the strong willed woman, and Matt is the wise soul that keeps it together. I am like many others. I would love to work with any of you because you all seem like awesome folks... and I already have the fulfilling career and family. Thanks for making life even more wonderful. Congrats on the success. Catherine Brisland

What a podcast - I love Conan! He was the best on late night, he was the best on the Tonight Show (too soon?), and he crushed it on TBS….really gave cable the old Tokyo Sandblaster. After discovering podcasts last month, I’ve found that I can’t stop listening to this show. This podcast makes drives better, traffic less stressful, and sex bearable. I can really listen to this at any time of day. Keep up the great work Conan, Sona, and Matt!

Getting to know Conan - I’ve listened to Conan needs a friend from the very first episode. My sister and I love to listen to the show and then have debrief sessions about them, kind of like a book club. I think over the years I’ve gotten to know Conan a lot more as a person. Not sure if it’s the having multiple siblings thing or growing up Irish, but I love how passionate Conan is about food. He is especially passionate about tv show parents making a beautiful meal for their kids and the kids not even taking a bite. He has a point and it’s something more people should talk about. Also does anyone have parents who actually do that…? Anyway, love the show and thanks for making me laugh.

Listen to it for Angela! Jenna can be annoying. - I love Angela who has such a casual, fun way of talking that makes you think like you are chatting with a buddy over a glass of wine. Jenna is a whole different story. She is unnecessarily dramatic, talks in an annoying, high-pitched voice, and almost performs for the audience with over-enunciated words. At times, I find her patronizing, especially when she lowers down her voice to a whisper as she tries to create fake importance for the most basic sentence…it seems like a tactic one uses while reading a story to a child. She reads out people’s letters like she is six and is reading a poem at school. She also overuses certain weird words like “Fakey”. You are a grown woman…JUST SAY FAKE! Even though both the ladies go on random tangents, Jenna especially wastes a lot of time talking useless things such as her left boob being too big for her bra. And finally, I feel she almost tries to find information that Angela wouldn’t know so she can gloat over it (matrix reference in threat level midnight). Overall, Jenna needs to be less annoying, but Angela is fun. If you love the show, you will like the podcast.

All The Laughs! - For starters, I’m up to date with the show. BUT you know a show is good when you find yourself revisiting previous episodes for a good laugh or a trip down memory lane. I love the deep dives, random tangents, countless laughs, guest appearances topped off with so much love for the show, cast and crew and all the memories Jenna and Angela experienced. I love every minute of this podcast. “It’s like a book you don’t want to end, like Harry Potter”.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 14:59:12 GMT

Excellent podcast - This was the first rewatch podcast I ever listened to and it has ruined me for every other podcast. They are so thorough and organized and provide excellent information about who the guests were, how scenes were shot, who wrote and directed, and they answer relevant fan questions. It’s everything you’d hope for in a rewatch podcast and Jenna and Angela are funny and relatable and it’s fun when Sam or Cassie join the convo from time to time. I’ve since tried some other rewatch podcasts and been disappointed with how little information they provide and how disorganized and random they are.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:19:53 GMT

Love it! - I really like this podcast a lot! I’ve been listening since the beginning & I often relisten. Angela’s stories in particular have really been cracking me up lately - especially the one about doing the survey over the phone with the repairman for minutes and then the note on her windshield. That note absolutely destroyed me - I don’t know how many times I’ve replayed it. I see from the other reviews that some people wish there were fewer side convos & tangents and more information but I think it’s a perfect balance as is. I can’t help but think that this podcast might have far fewer negative reviews if it was called Office Men instead. If you’re wondering whether or not to listen, just dive in & see what you think! I really like the episodes Framing Toby & Dinner Party the most. Edit to add that Angela’s journal entries are just perfect - they’re so sweet & charming & a teeny bit silly. I aspire to have a journal as adorable as hers. They should be a regular segment

This is great!!! - I just wanted to say that I disagree with all of the people saying that Jenna is mean to Angela I have listened to all the episodes twice and not one have I noticed any nasty comments. I also wanted to say that I am going to be in a school play and also have anxiety about it so I feel for you Jenna. Anyway just wanted to let you know that you are doing great!!! (BTW I would totally watch the detective show that you both keep talking about it would be awesome!!!) Also I know I did not talk about Angela that is because she does not get any hate. Also as I was writing this I realized that no one is going to see this but still just wanted to say that I don’t think Jenna is bad in anyway.

I finally unfollowed - I have been listening to this podcast since the beginning. I loved the tidbits and behind the scenes info and looked forward to new episodes every week. But somewhere along the way I began losing interest. When Michael quit, they glossed that over in favor of a deep dive on water bottles. Water bottles. This podcast is no longer what it used to be and that’s fine. Between the endless, irrelevant deep dives and side tangents and no real useful info anymore, I have decided to give it up. I haven’t listened in over four weeks and I tried to start today and I just couldn’t bring myself to listen anymore. I know they have a tan base who likes what the podcast has become, but as an OH office fan who wanted to listen for The Office, this is not it anymore.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 13:16:44 GMT

Have been listening since the first episode - I was so pumped when I saw on Angela’s Instagram they were going to be doing this podcast. I counted down the days. Unfortunately it appears they never really had an exact plan which was fine for long time. Now they have chosen a path and it is not great. Have another podcast called DEEP DIVE where you discuss the origin story of random items. I don’t understand why it is in this one?! You are going to need something to talk about after this podcast ends so you should save all of that. Honestly I could still get through it until yesterday. When Steve Carrell is on, the moment we have all been waiting for, YOU ASK WHAT HIM HIS FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR IS?!?!?! Is this a joke? He never talks about The Office anywhere so I was so excited because he is on AN OFFICE PODCAST, maybe we will finally get some great questions and answers but no. I literally had to listen to you both seriously ask him some of the dumbest questions I have ever heard which half he didn’t have answers to BECAUSE THEY WERE DUMB AND OFF TOPIC. The disappointment is too strong for me to continue. Bye! Love you ladies.

The best medicine - I have been having a rough time learning how to “adult.” The past few years have been difficult, full of loss, health issues, and trauma. I’ve always managed to see this show as one of life’s little bright spots. I work in the field of Child Welfare as a Case Manager. Today was particularly hard, I tried my best to be the hardest worker I could be. But, at the end of the day, my car battery stopped working. I was so angry and exhausted. Well, when I went to shower, I heard a voice telling me to light my bright spot and turn this on…the episode with Steve. Suddenly, my heart warmed a little, and I just broke. I wanted you ladies to know how much this show really means to people, to me. Thank you for all you do.

Great podcast! (If you’re cool and not lame) - I started listening to this pod when I was going through a really hard time and I was incredibly depressed. This was the first thing that made me laugh in a solid three months. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but if you love true crime and irreverent humor you will love this pod. I appreciate the reviews of the towns and all the other little details. James and Jimmie are a match made in pod heaven and I’m excited to see them live in Portland this weekend!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:52:39 GMT

Nothing else compares. - I was not, have never been, a podcast person. I started listening to this with a friend of mine who I was commuting with, and when he pitched the idea I thought I was in for an absolute bore. I cannot get enough of this show. I still hate all other podcasts, but something about the structure of this show combined with James’ PERFECT radio voice and Jimmy’s perfectly timed interjections of wheezing laughter, really tickles my brain. The pacing, delivery, and punctuation of humor is totally unmatched, absolute gold standard. Coming in this late gives me the advantage of binge listening in the car and during my workday, and I have no doubt that by the time I catch up, I will be frothing at the mouth every week. I cannot express the quality of this show any more than by saying that it changed my perspective on an entire form of media that I had already made up my mind about. A .
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 00:12:00 GMT

Dumbaes!!!! - I really thought I would like this podcast cause I’m a huge true Crime fan but I was sooooo wrong!!! The stories were good but I didn’t like the way the host made fun of places they have never been or telling a victim’s story and mocking them at the same time. How do you mix tragedy and humor? This is my review and my opinion of the podcast. You don’t like my review that’s ok, I’m sure you won’t be the only one
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 19:32:10 GMT

Uh uh uh uh uh - The stories are interesting but the constant uh uh uh uh of the host is distracting and annoying. The comedy relies on mostly mean spirited takes on how everyone is terrible. also stop saying you’re against the death penalty when every other rant about something you don’t like you talk about how you want to hurt, punch, strangle someone, etc. To be clear - this negative review is not about the fact that they make fun of crime- I’m perfectly ok with that. It’s the aspects above that are quickly making this unlistenable

It isn’t greezy - I moved on over to YMH after JRE was getting a bit pretentious and well… old. I became an instant MOMMY and have been for the past few years. Sad to say the move to TX was a good idea for them but so bad for the podcast. Ever since the move from CA to TX the old YMH I loved so much has sadly changed and fallen off. It’s just not the same. I know nothing lasts forever but it’s a bit sad that I listen with less enthusiasm now. That place has now been taken by the almighty Bad Friends MakeJeansHighAndTightAgain
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 08:17:50 GMT

Quality has raced to the bottom - Honestly the quality of this show is horrendous. In a world where every comedian has a podcast why listen to one successful comedian and his wife that rode his coattails, “riff” on the same thing they’ve been talking about for months because they bank episodes for months at a time. There are so many better options out there than wasting your time with YMH these days. Used to be a great funny show but Jesus Christ these two have become so detached from reality it’s not funny anymore.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 12:50:18 GMT

Anti black and not funny - If you like hearing rich privileged idiots struggle through laughing awkwardly too long at their own jokes about how rich they are, you’re gonna love this one. If you remember the viral “i’M nOt BlAcK!!”moment where the ppl said that washcloths are for poor people, only black people use them and went on to further speak negatively about black ppl and washcloths- these are those idiots. If you’re gonna be offensive at least make me laugh
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 14:54:54 GMT

Jumped the shark - I loved this show when I first came across it years ago. It’s totally different now. They don’t have funny drops like they used to and Tom is to cool now. Christina stays with the same topics she thinks are funny. Trans, fat, ugly, bad teeth people. And they are giving the boys in the booth way to much airtime . Non of them are funny. They ran out of material for the show so they used Ennys “hot sauce is the best”. So lame. Get together or quit

Great podcast when with friends & not guests - UPDATED REVIEW: Morgan - please stop making every single topic about you. She will listen to the Reddit story and put herself in the position of the person. I understand what she’s trying to do but, it comes across as very self centered. She talks about Justin CONSTANTLY. As well as her wedding, girl…you’re not even married yet?? Stop going on a public podcast and forcing us to listen to you talk about your boyfriend and how amazing he is. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I love the episodes with Morgan’s friends & her boyfriend! I look forward every week to listen to this podcast. It’s creative and I find their conversations so fun! I am not a big fan of the episodes with guests (unless it’s therapists or experts on the topic). Also, a personal pet peeve that Morgan does….talks in her normal voice during the pod then when we switch to an ad read she talks different more soft and almost baby sounding. Please just read the ads in your normal voice I get such cringe…but it’s not just you Morgan I don’t like when any podcasts do that.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:59:29 GMT

Great start, then straight downhill - This podcast used to be gold, now it’s just friends sitting around being social justice warriors. Morgan talks over all her friends, while their attempting yo see all sides and really have a conversation. When someone doesn’t share her opinion she calls it “playing the devils advocate”. I don’t mind listening to opinions different than mine, but insulting your listeners is totally out of line. I agreed with most of their takes but recently they’ve been really honing in on hating men (I’m a woman) and talking about politically sensitive topics that are completely unrelated to the story their talking about. “I don’t want to get political…” in one breath to essentially saying if you don’t agree with me then you’re uneducated and small minded. I guess I’m glad you finally came out and said what you always thought. Unless you’re aggressively woke and chronically online, you probably won’t like this podcast.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:43:01 GMT

Used to be better - I used to love this podcast and would look forward to every Thursday. However the tangents have gotten to be too much. They also tend to be very judgmental of parents for people who don’t have any kids. And the amount of times they have hated on men in a story for something they had done, but yet praise a woman for doing a similar thing in a different story. It is too biased. I also cannot handle how political it’s gotten. I had to stop listening. If I wanted to listen to a political podcast, I would find one to listen to.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:32:51 GMT

“Hot Takes” is in the name - I love this podcast! I came from TikTok a while back and I can’t get enough of THT. It got me through many drives to the doctor during my difficult pregnancy and it plays in my ears when I need a break and just want to chill while cooking dinner. I see a lot of other reviews skew low due to tangents and disagreement of opinions. However, that’s what a podcast is (and “hot takes” is in the name); it’s a platform for the host to give their opinion and it’s fine if others don’t agree, but then just don’t listen. As for the tangents, I love banter and Morgan, her dad, Alejandra, Lauren, and Justin all have such great stories. It’s like you’re talking to your best friends late at night about each other lives. THT is better than just scrolling Reddit and makes my drives way more fun!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 07:24:49 GMT

This show is in decay - It really feels like Morgan is phoning it in. She’s using basically only the top posts from Reddit and I don’t remember the last time they had something I hadn’t already read myself. Constantly she is unprepared and original posts and comments get deleted. Like screen cap it, store it in a word file how are you relying on the OP or Mods to leave it alone till you’re reading it to a guest? Also the amount of self centered irrelevant tangents unrelated to the actual story has become difficult to enjoy. stars only cause my wife and I still listen to episodes with Lauren. She’s still the best.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 15:00:58 GMT

Miss the good ol times - I used to reallllyyyy love this podcast but honestly a lot of their opinions come out very one sided and closed minded. Its not the worst I’ve heard but I find myself becoming annoyed and frustrated they refuse to acknowledge other perspectives. But I guess it is a podcast about “hot takes” lol Miss the fun outlandish goofy stories that left me shocked and happy. Recently I find myself just turning it off halfway.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 18:03:13 GMT

My favorite podcast EVER - This is my favorite podcast ever. I started listening around halfway through Covid. I didn’t realize that I would get so addicted. Since then, I made it a thing to listen to every single episode to be caught up. Morgan and her crew are so real and always have the best responses to these crazy stories. I recently signed up for their Patreon because I couldn’t get enough. out of I recommend this podcast.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 17:42:28 GMT

Fun listen… usually - Listening to these Reddit stories is really entertaining! I do, however, wish the hosts would provide a trigger warning when they are going to go off on graphic tangents about bodily functions. I listen to the show primarily when I’m driving, and during the most recent episode I found myself feeling squeamish and light headed during the long and detailed discussion about women’s breast milk. I had to turn off the episode I felt so sick doing mph on the interstate and thought I might wreck if I kept listening. I’m a woman and I think our bodies are great too, but I tune in to hear Reddit stories, not graphic anatomy discussions. They’ve also done this with menstruation, feces, etc. Please, please, please provide a trigger warning for these discussions in the future.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:18:14 GMT

Please let me know when Jordan is a guest again so I can SKIP the episode - I’m not sure if Jordan is her name, but the March episode where your friend had the “amazing sunset” in Chicago…. Yea I think she said like or what probably EVERY OTHER WORD. Along with not being able to finish a sentence or even a word, I feel like I lost brain cells listening to this episode. I hate to be a mean girl but it sounds so terrible and a bit intentional, like it’s not cute to like, pretend to be like dumb…. I mean, you barely got through your usual number of stories bc she spent so much time trying to talk or figure something out. Stop playing the ditz girlfriend and get on with the show!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 11:54:30 GMT

Good show but Morgan is annoying - The podcast is funny and entertaining. Id HATE HATE HATE to be Morgan's significant other or friend. She CONSTANTLY throws people in her life under the bus! She over shares entirely too much information when she's talking about others but not herself. On the most recent episode where she said her exes entire full legal name...are you kidding me! She's over shared things about her bf her dad she just has diarrhea of the mouth. Am I the only one noticing this?
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 18:07:35 GMT

Filler podcast-updated - Update. I'm all the way caught up. I wanted to give you a chance because I was worried about my own biases. But no. I was not wrong. This podcast is Morgan being the stereotypical "woke" white girl that didn't know about the term "Mx." And can't pronounce Alok Vaid-Menon's name correctly. She is a hypochondriac (she admits to this) that pushes therapy but can't seem to fix her anxiety around her health. More therapy girl. And despite not having a psychology degree nor all the info in a story will diagnose people in the reddit story. Morgan also repeatedly complains about having to edit long videos but "does it for the fans". Hot take, you wouldn't have to edit so much if you stuck to the reddit stories and didn't go on long winded tangets. But don't worry she'll blame it on her ADHD, Or PMDD, Or whatever else she may have. Babes, I'm bipolar and I don't use it as an excuse for any of my behaviors. I take ownership of my actions and commit to changing them when they are negative or toxic. I wouldn't be surprised if she says she has that next. I'm officially done with this podcast. I have it on x speed and skip half of it because of the tangets already so I'm saving myself mins (from a hour episode. What a joke). I will continue to enjoy Jerry's podcast because he is actually very level headed. Felt like the "I needed a me day bc of all the mean comments" is very childish. This is your sole job and you are selling your product. Read the criticism and adjust. To manipulate people into leaving you good reviews bc they worry about your mental health. Let's not forget she keeps reading poop stories despite her reviewers saying they're tired of hearing about them. But yet she's too childish to fart in front of her boyfriend of years. Original review: It has good content but like many others have said, the host Morgan is really hit and miss. So much crying. I'm all for being in touch with your emotions but good lord, I'm listening for entertainment not a sob fest. She repeatedly talks about her -figure student loan debt and her messy family. In almost every episode she brings it up. I feel a lot of her suggestions are a bit childish despite her being (?). I'm a F and I can't get over how annoying some of the things are. I also feel like she's not very nuanced or intelligent, as well as some of her friends. I can't count how many time after korgan tells the story and then the other hosts interpret what they heard and it's completely off. Like what? I do find it entertaining when the guest host has a differing opinions and Morgan bickers with them, despite them having valid points. Just the white privilege showing through I suppose. She has a lot of education but many of the things she says just completely baffle me. It bugs me that she says buying a house isn't something that people should aspire to despite her living with her dad and having her grandmother's house to move into when she wants it. I mostly just listen as a filler podcast in between my other podcasts that I'm up to date with. That way I don't get too annoyed very quickly.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 10:13:16 GMT

Good show - Good show, love the hosts, all in all top podcast for me. I would have given it stars however I deduct a point because the title implies that maybe they will have interesting takes. Sometimes that happens but most of the time they go with the predictable/pandering answer to make everyone happy. Would hope that maybe they actually have a hot take every once in a while. Regardless, will keep listening.
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 19:59:07 GMT

Not the same BUT still great! - I love THT and have binged every episode and wait weekly for the new ones. I would love if the tangents weren’t as long but it feels like every episode the amount of stories is less and less. Also when y’all read these stories it is so hard for y’all to remember basic information like who’s telling the story or an important factor to their story and then you go on such a long tangent just to realize you messed up a piece of the story to start another long tangent! On the other hand I would literally listen to Alejandra all by herself on a podcast everything about her is AMAZING! Her voice, her opinions, everything! Huge fan
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 17:19:18 GMT

Brings me joy - Out of all the podcasts in the world, this is the one I’m constantly listening to. When I catch up, I purposefully wait a couple weeks so I am binge listen again. I love how they have an OG crew and how they also sometimes sprinkle a new co host every one in a while. The OG crew (Morgan, Alejandra, Lauren, Justin and Jerry) are such wholesome and genuinely kind people that look at every perspective most of the time. I also love the couple times you have your brother and Amy, his wife on!! I obviously love the long episodes but I get that people live lives. Thank you for this go to podcast!!
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 17:12:20 GMT

Fan Since the Beginning - I’ve looked forward to Thursdays since because of THT! Recently joined the Patreon as well - I’m a diehard fan of this podcast! I love EVERYONE on the show. The whole point is to listen to all these stories and their opinions - and form your own opinions! Even if I disagree with a take, it doesn’t make me love this show or these people any less! Morgan - I can tell you work so hard each week on curating the best stories and giving us so much content. Thank you for creating this podcast, and I can’t wait to watch and celebrate in your continued success!
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 16:15:59 GMT

Like the show but - That Greyson/Grayson/whoever he was episode was terrible. Maybe I’m too old but he seemed like he was years old and his commentary added nothing. Stick to the OG crew! I feel like that group has hit their stride and are great together, aside from some overly long tangents/personal stories. RUIN- not roooooon I know they’re just reading Reddit stories but come on! I also do wish they’d fact check themselves. The confidence with which they say something completely incorrect is kind of funny.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 13:10:24 GMT

This is my favorite - Absolute favorite podcast. I look forward to the new episode every week and once I’m done I’m bummed to have to wait a week. The only thing I don’t agree with is them talking about age gaps. I believe regardless of gender, once you’re it shouldn’t matter how big of an age gap you have in your relationship.. you’re an adult and it’s you’re choice to get with someone regardless of age.
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 01:27:52 GMT

Used to be better!! - I used to love to listen to the show - it was part of my Thursday routine. Lately it’s getting harder and harder to listen to the whole show. Morgan needs to learn to control her random stories, thoughts and medical advice. These squirrel moments are getting to be too much, and it’s not once or twice a show - it has evolved to - per story. Please go back to the heavy editing and remove these!!
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 14:45:35 GMT

My absolute favorite - This is my favorite podcast of all time, hands down. I love the consideration that’s put into each “take”. Morgan and the cohosts all have their own way of thinking about the situation that gives you a chance to see all sides. I don’t necessarily agree with every single take but it’s fun to hear people’s different perspectives and thought processes which sometimes helps me reconsider my own. That being said, I’m not a cry baby so when I disagree with something, I don’t go leaving a bad review because my widdle feewings got hurt so this show gets stars from me. Also love the consistency of the episodes coming out on time every week. I know that can’t be easy! You’re doing a great job sweetie.

Only listened for Heather McDonald - Wow, wow, wow… MEGAN caused a lot of damage, NOT HEATHER. Get that clear. MEGAN started this, you should call it Megangate….I only knew who Jeff Lewis was because of comedian Heather McDonald and listening to Juicy Scoop for many years. I listened to this podcast whenever she guest hosted. After hearing how Megan and Stu treated Heather and knowing that she will no longer do this show, I’m incredibly sad and disappointed with their behavior. There is a right way and a wrong way to confront someone without hurting them. Megan is a grown up, mean girl, jealous bully, it’s sad when people you used to enjoy reveal their true colors, but when someone shows you who they are believe them the first time. Done.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 17:56:56 GMT

Megan. Sad. Immature and insecure. - I hope Megan gets help. Lashing out in the way she did to Heather speaks more of her character than Heathers. We all have people we don’t like, but have the maturity and kindness to not purposefully hurt someone. Jeff, it sounds like you get it. I appreciate your show for its light hearted culture. I listen because of Heather and I’m not alone. I hope you continue to support Heather, because it’s just the right thing to do. I hope Megan deals with her demons and gets help. Grows up.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:47:36 GMT

Entertaining but effed up - From the standpoint of pure entertainment, the podcast is stars. From an ethical standpoint, however, I’d rate it G for grotesque. The last podcast with Jill Zarin and Jeff laughing and boasting about taking up space at a fancy restaurant, irritating the staff, and ordering just about nothing bc they are all (heather McDonald Patti stranger allegedly included) on ozempic, was pretty much the definition of “let them eat cake.” Thanks to grifting D listers like Jeff and Zarin, Ozempic/mounjaro and other similar drugs are now in short supply for folks with diabetes, who actually need them to maintain their treatment protocol and prevent diabetic shock. It’s sickening and dystopian that the people contributing to this drug shortage, who could easily hire their own nutritionist and personal trainer, basically just sit on air and laugh about literally poisoning their bodies while people stricken by chronic illness suffer even more. Jeff still does crack me up when he’s not obsessing over extreme weight loss, but at some point, listeners probably do have a moral obligation to stop financing these pseudo-celebrities’ grotesque lifestyles and quit tuning in.

Frustrating episode - I love Mel and find so much of her work incredibly helpful and relatable. I found the interview with Dr. Hyman troubling. There is no medical consensus on the causes of ADHD. To say that changing your diet and will "cure" your ADHD is an insult to those of us who have struggled since childhood. There is actually growing evidence that genetics contribute to the disorder. Dr. Human's kind of fear mongering around food is so privileged and problematic...
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 18:41:55 GMT

If she says “based on science” one more time. - Ok, we get it…..”science” and “research” are the new buzzwords. It’d be better if she did an intro saying this podcast is based on science. Instead Mel sprinkles it throughout the podcast which is disruptive. Get to the point, although a lot of her points are the same point said different ways. Oh well, not my cup of tea, hopefully you get something from her.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 22:25:40 GMT

Mel Always Motivates Me - Mel, I’ve been listening to you for a few years. It started during my divorce. I needed a firm, straight forward, motivation to move forward and go find me. Your free advice has been worth more than any other conversation or books I’ve read. I’m in the rollercoaster process of reinventing myself. I’m finding courage. THANK YOU for continuing to share and inspire and being You through it all. Keep Talking, I’m Listening.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 13:04:38 GMT

Please read!!! Before subscribing - I don’t even know where to start. I’ve read Mel’s books, but the first time I heard her podcast it was the procrastination episode. I don’t know what kind of sorcery happened but towards the end of the episode I started crying. (I’m not a cryer). And it was life changing. I kept listening to get episodes and now I’m HOOKED. I have never been so heard. This podcast will change your life, by changing your mindset first. Highly recommend, unless u don’t like to be confronted with truth and u don’t like to cry
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 22:15:39 GMT

Reality Check - There is a much needed balance to Mel’s messaging and thinking of people that may not have the financial backing to springboard into their dream life as an entrepreneur. Thinking of her podcast with Amy Porterfield. My guess is that financial backing and support is needed for this advice - a partner that’s able to balance paying for life expenses while the other transitions or a past well paying job that allowed you to save so you could quit. We can all be in the dream state of what is possible, which is heavenly - but to do the work, from a place of limited resources is a whole other approach that I would love to see more of (single person, female, racially different background, living paycheck to paycheck in today’s economy).
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 13:20:31 GMT

Love this and need it - Mel has become an honest voice during the most turbulent times. I read the Five Second Rule after seeing her TED Talk and it works for me in so many situations. Then, she was there during the pandemic to say calmly “this is nuts and hard and we will learn from it.” I changed jobs and moved during and it was scary. I’ve learned to keep making progress and quitting is not an option even though I wanted to sometimes. Thank you.

Great podcast but… - I was introduced Jordan Peterson by my husband him knowing that I enjoy psychological topics and educational content podcast. I have enjoyed his podcast and I appreciate the knowledge and experiences he & his guests shares in the show. Although I really wish Jordan Peterson will STOP interjecting guest speakers, and taking over their responses. I’ve watched his YouTube videos, and listened to quite a lot of episodes here. I find that he quite often interrupts the interviewees even HE ASKED the question. That leads me to think he just wants them to say what he want them to say… I often want to know what the interviewee had to say according to his questions(which are great questions). I just had to say this because it is often the case and it really bothers me when I’m listening to him. Other than that, I really like the content and the knowledge I am able to absorb from him. The world need someone like him to stand up and educate ourselves.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 20:04:01 GMT

Religions? - I would never vote for anyone that claimed everything is a religion. Just makes one look silly to say such outrageous things. Tell me this Mr President, can I get my application approved for tax exemption for climate religion? You know, just like christianity. Two completely different things. Also I hear several people say “woke” and I immediately ask them the definition of woke, never get a consistent answer, people just trying to give people that think differently than them a “jab”. It makes you sound ridiculous. This certainly wasn’t one of your better casts Jordan, I wouldn’t suggest to back this guy.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 22:51:02 GMT

Nope. - I’ve followed Peterson since very early days, and watched him turn from an engaging, thoughtful person with interesting ideas (though profound lacunae in his educational background and historical grasp), into an angry, bitter, rigid ideologue who parrots alt-right nonsense and only hangs around the worst sorts of media and academic personalities. All the fawning he receives from undereducated conservatives, which he seems to have taken to heart, is both unwarranted and sad. I fear for his soul.

I can’t do it anymore. - Jordan was a great help to me in encouraging to make an effort to improve my life, which I did starting in up to now. But nowadays it seems Jordan is only interested in presenting doomsayer after doomsayer. There’s a place for these people, for sure, but it’s not what I valued from him and I’m very saddened by the change. I can’t fathom giving a star so I’ll give . Jordan, please find it in yourself to return to being a light for the world instead of doing the same depressing crap every other guy in your business is going today.

Next level podcasting - I usually listen to podcasts/talk radio while I’m doing mundane tasks for me to zone out to and take in what information I can - this is not the podcast for that. When I listen to this I find myself stopping whatever I’m doing and either listening intently or making sure I don’t miss a single beat. In a world of junk-food podcasts, this is your superfood. Show it some respect and give it your full attention

Rolling out the best! - These are the most interesting, easy listening, yet intelligent, down to earth conversations with some pretty smooth, delightful individuals! Rich is so cool. He is one of us to the core! Within each episode I feel as if I am at the table as an invited guest conversing and taking in the valuable rhetoric. Rich is the only podcaster who holds my attention, for real! He seems to understand the “human condition” and what it takes to speak to the heart of the matter. He really cares. Rich has a solid command of the English language and is almost poetic in his dialogue and communication skills. That comes from love and is fascinating and captivating! Thank you, Rich! Praying for your back and May God bless you and your family!

I can’t get enough! - I’m always listening to the Rich Roll podcast (on runs, rides, during lifting sessions, driving, cleaning, you name it) and always sending links to my friends saying, “You’d love this episode.” I have no idea how many of them actually take me up on my unsolicited podcast recommendations, but I don’t care—I’ll keep doing it. Such a big fan of this show, it’s my favorite one out there & no others compare. Thanks for making PodcastLand so much better, Rich and team. You’re a part of my every day!

Love this podcast - I listen to a lot of podcasts, but this one is my favorite. Rich is consistently authentic, thoughtful, mature, and has the vast vocabulary that I aspire to and that I love to listen to. My opinion of the episode with Adam Grant greatly differs from another (less enthralled) reviewer here. As for my tastes, they tend toward appreciation of brilliant minds like Adam’s and Rich’s. I couldn’t get enough of that insightful conversation. Those differences in opinion are what make the world go round.

I look forward to Mondays! - I have been listening to The Rich Roll podcast since last Summer and can attribute so many wonderful changes in my life to the countless hours spent listening to Rich. As a mom to , with my newest born in October, I looked forward to Monday walks outside feeling inspired by this podcast and implementing small changes into my life. As a former mental health therapist turned create solo-entrepreneur, I appreciate Rich’s vulnerability and passion for his profound gift. My husband jokes that many sentences start with, “so I was listening to the Rich Roll podcast…” it’s funny because it’s true. Keep up the wonderful work

Rich is Great - I’ve been all over the place in my thoughts about this podcast, and have run the gamut from regular listener to unsubscribing. Rich is an outstanding long-form interviewer which I truly enjoy. He’s an obvious liberal which can get exhausting at times, but it always feels like he is well intentioned and that he’s coming from a good place. He also seems measured in his political comments which is appreciated and welcomed by those of us with somewhat different political views. When Rich is joined by Adam it always goes badly. I don’t mind them together, in fact they have good chemistry. However, Adam is an arrogant, self righteous liberal who isn’t open to anyone else’s point of view and is convinced that he’s the smartest guy in any room, apparently because he’s been a successful ghost writer. Whatever. All in all, I enjoy Rich and enjoy many of his interviews. I could do without Adam.

Interesting Wellness Content, too many ads, appreciate the different perspectives - This is a great podcast if you are into wellness and business. I love listening to the beauty, wellness, health, and business content. They bring on a lot of interesting guests with unique perspectives. There’s a lot of reviews saying they’re interviewing guests who are spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. The whole point of this podcast is to show different perspectives, and literally ANYTHING can be called misinformation if you look hard enough. I personally hate reality TV, but sometimes I still listen to those interviews because they CHALLENGE my point of view. And each guest really does have something interesting to share. Duh, some stuff stated by guests and Michael and Lauryn is incorrect. They are all human with biases. In the podcast they also tell you to do your own research and be your own advocate constantly. So being upset about hearing things you don’t agree with doesn’t make the podcast bad. The one thing I really don’t like about this podcast is the amount of ads. They have increased them over the years and the interviews are shorter too.

My favorite Wellness focused podcast - I’ve gained so much knowledge from TSC podcast! Don’t listen to reviews from people just looking for a reason to dislike Michael & Lauryn. I love how they call things out, challenge status quo and proactively bring all kinds of guests on the show. EVERYONE is entitled to their own opinion and I think it’s important to be a well rounded human being and to be aware of all options out there. If you have such a problem with someone’s opinion that reflects on YOU not the person speaking their truth. FYI you don’t have to listen to episodes you don’t agree with, no one is forcing you lol Cymbiotika, Acid Kicking Minerals and Test My Home episodes are so impactful and I’d recommend to anyone wanting to clean up toxins and increase health for your family. Also I’ve used a TON of products Lauryn promotes and ALL of them have been legit and great products. She truly promotes what she uses and I really respect that because she’s at the level where she doesn’t have to. That credibility right there. Keep it going M & L! I’d LOVE if you’d bring Coterie diaper founders on!! Mom of an month old here and I value your baby recommendations so much! Jim Carey would be absolutely killer too. I recall one of your guests wanting to have him as a guest!

Meh - I used to absolutely love this show but recently it’s lost it’s luster. I know a lot of the reviews complain about the misinformation but even putting that aside (I agree that you should do your own research), the uncomfortable sexual comments from Lauren and mansplaining/interrupting by Michael has really gotten to a point where it’s almost too cringey to listen to. Also would love some new guests that aren’t just peddling their same agenda.

Please stop preaching that vegetarian / vegan lifestyles are unhealthy… - I used to be a huge fan of L & M and this podcast and have been listening for years. I have just unfollowed the podcast and won’t be listening anymore because I have officially had it with their bashing of a meat-free diet in every episode. I don’t eat meat for ethical and health reasons and have never felt better in my life. Recently in every episode they both talk about how not eating meat is super harmful and unhealthy and that could not be further from the (science-backed) truth. It is super off putting for them to constantly spread this kind of misinformation and bash a lifestyle important to so many. It just became too off-putting for me to hear every week and I write this review in the hopes that they can see this and take it into account.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 18:36:03 GMT

Hands down favorite from the beginning - I’ve basically listened to every episode from the very beginning. It’s extremely rare I don’t receive some sort of lesson or message from an episode. There are so many subjects, topics, conversations, moods, styles, shock factors, laughs, diversity, depth, banter… I could go on! Even if I don’t think the episode relates to me, I find myself pleasantly surprised with something I pick up from that episode. The banter these two have is like non other. What Lauryn and Michael have built is so impressive. They keep going and growing and I am so here for it. Thank you guys!
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 14:22:22 GMT

Favorite Podcast - This is by far my favorite podcast. Love all of the impactful information. The episodes with experts and tangible wellness tips are a non negotiable for me to listen to. Could take it or leave it with the reality stars but that’s the beauty of a podcast you can take what you want and leave what you don’t. I’ve found experts who I love to follow now through this podcast and it has really broadened my outlook and at the same time niched down my interests. So glad that the content has evolved with their lives as I’m sure much of the audience has been with them for a while and are in the same stages of life. I’m personally in a semi parallel stage of life, happily married in our s with an almost year old and almost year old and appreciate the mom/child driven episodes as well! Thanks for being truly authentic to your lives and EVOLVING with the times.

While not “New” a great breathe of fresh air - I found “JHS” via the Dudes at the Underworld podcast and am always looking to add to the rotation of open-minded, nuanced, and deep but fun conversations on topics that I know little or some about. I have listened to several varieties of podcasts of Similar topics and layout but JHS is such an easy listen. Stays on topic with guest (mostly) and doesn’t lose the conversation in the rabbit holes as most of these topics are deep and multifaceted. I enjoy the middle of the road approach to topics that are very divisive and tough. I do wish I would have found him earlier for sure.

Jordan provides a light for a fellow attorney! - Jordan is a great communicator, interviewer, and provides thoughtful analysis on a wide ranging breadth of topics. As a fellow attorney, I love his pods on the mafia guys, undercover folks, and bizzare stories. You won’t find these topics on other podcasts. Plus, he has a witty and thoughtful banter with his guests, and always asks insightful questions. Selfishly, he also provides hope that you can find a career path you love after law! Keep up the great work Jordan. I’ll be listening

My favorite podcaster! - I was an avid True Crime podcast fan. I decided one day that I wanted to find something new to listen to that would be interesting, inspiring and that I could learn new things. I found Jordan and haven’t stopped! I have now listened to episodes. He is such an amazing interviewer. He has guests that are so fascinating, well educated, and have either interesting stories or studies. Even subjects that I have thought I wouldn’t be interested in, Jordan’s approach and guests pull me in and keep me intrigued. Super a breath of fresh air! I love what you do! Thank you, Jordan!

Excellent Podcast!!! - I love this podcast! I heard about it from another podcast, The Opportunitst, and I cannot stop listening. Jordan is an excellent interviewer! The guests are fascinating and span such a wide breadth of topics and perspectives! Jordan often says he is interviewing the most brilliant and interesting people in the world and he is not lying. I have recommended this podcast to many who have a variety of different interests.

The reality is here even if you don’t want to hear. - Really great insight to personal problems. There is usually hard to hear every episode. I would personally like to hear the truth and learn to deal than live in a lie. I have found that advice is usually best when it’s from someone who isn’t emotionally involved in your life. These guys are it. Funny and Serious. I find it hard to stay balanced with such tact and compassion, these folks know how to give feedback on a Friday. The interviews are my favorite though. Experience counts! Great work team!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 23:46:07 GMT

A must. - This show is very smart -without being intellectual. There is a topic for everybody - many topics for everybody - and JH is an amazing interviewer. He knows the topic being discussed every time, and teases out the info that will resonate to people hearing about it for the first time - while teaching those who may already know the space a thing or two. The Friday episodes are the same: something for everybody. And the balance of JH, Gabriel, and the experts they pull in feels like balanced, considered advice. It’s on my weekly rotation, has been for three years, and I share with my friends, family and colleagues all the time.

Roachissimo - I cannot say enough great things about Jordan and his show! Craft: He crushes it as a podcaster, keeping things moving, no wasted time, summarizing, articulating insights and at same time laying out new directions for the discussion; Style: friendly, bright, upbeat, principled, welcoming, humble, and engaging; Skill: makes it all seem so easy and effortless; Subjects: loads of disparate interests not all of them are for me but enough are really important to me and with episodes in the library, I’m kept busy; Responsiveness: try it! write him a note, he’ll write you back; Guests: loads of incredible guests, tops in their fields. In my opinion —and i’m not related to the guy, i never met him, i don’t work for him or for anyone who does— this is tied as THE BEST PODCAST OUT THERE (and the other one is just of a different type, so, apples to oranges). No doubt. Thanks for doing what you do.

Extraordinary Show! - Another teacher recommended The Jordan Harbinger Show to me a few months ago, and I found myself a little leery because he and I tend not to have similar tastes (in anything, actually). However. I found myself to be incorrect with that assumption. The show’s guests are intelligent, articulate, interesting, and open to sharing their knowledge and skills. I have an incredibly short attention span, and I refuse to listen to interviews of people who cannot speak without multiple uses of the word “like” and who have no story to tell. This does not happen on The Jordan Harbinger show; clearly a great deal of time and work go into carefully choosing the guests. My favorite show so far is : Ramy Romany. If you haven’t heard it, it’s well worth your time. I played it for my law-school son when we traveled recently. His reaction was the same as mine: incredible story. Great podcast. Stephanie M.

Thought provoking and entertaining - The Jordan Harbinger Show is crammed full of interesting guests, topics, and insights. Each podcast entertains and informs! The show never fails to impress me, and I find myself thinking about each podcast days later. I enjoy Jordan's candid interviews, and on the less-formal side, I enjoy the Feedback Friday episodes where he and Gabe answer listener's questions. If you're looking for a podcast to get you thinking in an entertaining and inspiring way, you should check out Jordan's podcast. If you prefer doldrum and banal podcasts that leave you feeling like a zombie, you should avoid The Jordan Harbinger Show.

Obsessed - new comfort show. - I found this podcast a couple months ago and it's safe to say I'm hooked. They manage to land the most interesting and intelligent guests who bring facts and experiences to educate and have truly taught me so much already with their platform. The team clearly does their research and prep work and each episode is flawlessly executed. Each argument or lesson is clearly and concisely backed by science and statistics lending great credibility to the narrators / host. PLUS Jordan's sense of humor is entirely underrated.

Flourishing in an Uncertain Future - A better tittle may be thriving rather than just surviving an uncertain future. It is easy to write off the way we react to events by saying that’s just the way I am or It’s how I’m wired. The reality is, we can all be rewired to some degree toward optimism and being more positive in life. Jordan and Martin explore these ideas with some real life practices that can begin moving one’s life to see things a little more hopeful. Their discussion on understanding purpose, happiness, joy, and meaning were outstanding. Jordan makes podcasting look easy by allowing his natural curiosity and humor to make the guests and the audience feel at home. He probably gets more out of the guests this way, too. Jordan, doesn’t just rely on his natural warmth, though. He does his homework which allows for deep dives on particular aspects on whatever subject that may come up. Finally, I’d pair this particular episode to episode , “The Science of Heartbreak,” with Florence Williams. references how outlook affects health and talks about the effects of heartbreak/emotions on health. Both give practical advice.

Drop what you’re doing and go listen to TJHS - The Jordan Harbinger Show has become the punctuation within my weeks, noting the passage of time and giving me something to look forward to as the week progresses. Feedback Fridays offer universally useful advice; Skeptical Sundays provide an opportunity for prospection along with a good laugh; and the long form interviews released throughout the week span a range of topics, all of which challenge the listener with thought-provoking subject matter. I appreciate all of the work that goes into creating and releasing such quality podcasts on a weekly basis - Thank you!!

Michael Santos - The episodes are always interesting and very high quality. Long form discussions about very interesting topics. Just finished the wonderful episode with Michael Santos. After years in prison his story of entrepreneurship and self betterment is just so awe inspiring. Here is someone who made himself better, and is working hard to make real differences in individual and community lives. Just an awesome individual and an awesome interview. Kudos.

Informative, useful, thought provoking and funny - I was shown this podcast by a friend of a friend and I am so glad I was introduced. This podcast gives an abundance of information that is offered in a concise and intriguing manner. Jordan does not waste your time and gives you a podcast where every minute has helpful and/or interesting information. I love listening to the casualness and low-key (but informative) vibe of a Skeptical Sunday, as well as the adventurous tales of his interviewees. Lastly, the Feedback Fridays are I love the bond Jordan and Gabe have and how they connect with one another when answering questions. Place this podcast at the top of your queue

Follow this show! - I have been following this podcast for several years. I am impressed with both the quality of the interviews, and the content of The Jordan Harbinger show. Jordan is respectful and at the same time able to ask hard questions, a great combination for an interview host. I appreciate the variety of topics in this podcast; I listen to a lot of them, even some guests that I don’t think I’d be interested in — but in the end I learn something unexpected and riveting about the person or the topic. I appreciate the diversity of the show in ethnicity, gender and age.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 19:40:46 GMT

Off beat & informational - I love this show because each episode is truly something different. The knowledge and advice shared by Jordan and his guests cover such a wide range of topics and unique experiences. I’m amazed at how much time and preparation goes into each episode and I always leave feeling inspired and a bit smarter. Skeptical Sundays are my favorite - when Jordan shines a light on commonly held practices and beliefs for critical review.

LOVE THIS SHOW - I love listening to this podcast! I love how long the conversations are because you learn so much from someone’s life story. I feel like I am sitting on the next couch just listening in. I also love all the type of people that Jorden interviews because their point of view, their life, is so interesting and I would love to have these conversations myself, but I can’t so it awesome to listen in on these interviews.

Always interesting - I continue to recommend Jordan’s podcast for its content, interesting guests, current topics and refreshing candor. News gets me down but I do want to keep apprise and Jordan does that for me. Smart witty and a bit ‘O snark keeps it real with he and Gabe on sensitive inquests. Jordan is someone you can trust to hand you the truth without shoving it down your throat. Hard truths with humor and compassion- we all need to hear it. Thank you Jordan!

You hear stories and insights from people you would never hear from otherwise. Each episode is different and there is literally something for everyone. And the new AI search helps find past episodes to share with friends and family who would benefit from these podcasts too!

Really Sharp Interviews - The Jordan Harbinger Show is one of my go to podcasts because I always learn something helpful. I know it will always keep me entertained as I learn. I found the podcast when someone recommended one of the interviews about China. My background is in knowing the threat that the CCP poses to the US and Harbinger has good perspective on the matter and asks good questions to get solid answers. I continue to listen regularly and have learned a lot of very useful information for many other facets of my life. I highly recommend listening.

Pinworm Acres - I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. The eclectic variety of guests keeps it fresh and invigorating, and Mr. Harbinger’s breadth of knowledge and preparation for doing in-depth interviews with his guests is truly impressive. His demeanor is always respectful, curious, engaged and informed. He asks the questions we all want to ask. I have been listening to this podcast for two years and it has never grown tiresome or predictable. The only thing I find predictable is that I’ll always be engaged when I tune in. I like all his formats, although lean toward his long-form interviews. Truly an enlightening and edifying podcast.

Text to speech be like - The first time you have a chance at the top is the second one you get a free pet for the second time and you can give me the money for it I don’t have to pay you for the first one but you have a good pet and I have to get a good one for you. And then you have the money for me so you could give it to me. The only reason why I’m asking you to give it back to you was to get a little money from the government to help you with the rent because you were not able and you didn’t want me and you were going through the same things that you were doing and The only thing I could think about was that I didn’t want you and you didn’t have any of the stuff you were supposed for you and you didn’t have the stuff that I wanted you and you were supposed and you were just going through with the rent so that I didn’t want it and I don’t know if I could do that but you did it or if it would just tell him you had the right amount that was what he wanted you know I just didn’t wanna be doing anything about you not having it I didn’t know that it wasn’t worth your effort I didn’t Wanna put that into a problem and then it wasn’t a good so I’m just saying it is not my business but I’m just gonna say I am sorry so you are a big fan so if you’re going out and you’re gonna come to the house you know I’m sorry but I’m just so sad so I’m just not happy I’m just happy and you don’t have any other people that are going through that is all you do that I am just saying you have no problem I’m not going through and you don’t even have a good I’m not going out of the world I don’t care what happens but I’m sorry you don’t know that you have no more people to me you are so much of me you just want you know I’m sorry and I’m just like and that’s the end MADE BY:your mom

This is a long one so buckle up… - I know that you mention that Apollo tricked Artemis into accidentally killing Orion, but there is another variation to the story. Here goes… So, Artemis and Orion were hunting in a clearing. They were remarking on how superior the other was. Well, Apollo didn’t like how close Orion was getting to his sister, and he thought of him as a threat. Apollo thought that Orion would replace him in Artemis’ life. So Apollo hid in a bush while the two hunted. He sent an animal to distract Artemis, who gladly took a chance at hunting the animal. While she was occupied, Apollo shot Orion with his arrow. When Artemis returned, she found Orion on the ground. She blamed herself and thought it was her fault for leaving. She liked him (or maybe loved) him so much, that she made a plea to Zeus to make him a constellation. And he did. Apollo eventually confessed to Artemis, who was livid.

Episode ideas - . Zeus’s wives. . Ares and Aphrodite’s love story . More tales of Circe’s magic . More on odyssey’s journey home . THE FLOOD In order to test the goodness of mankind, Zeus disguised himself as a mortal and visited the house of a man named Lycaon. Zeus told Lycaon who he really was, but Lycaon, instead of worshipping him, tried to kill him. Zeus turned Lycaon into a wolf and decided to destroy the rest of the human race with a great flood. However, Prometheus warned two pious worshippers, Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, about the impending flood. Deucalion prepared an ark and filled it with food, so that he and his wife became the only people to survive the nine-day deluge. As the waters receded, their ark landed on Mount Parnassus. Later, they had a son named Hellen, who became the ancestor of all the Greeks. (Mythology by lady hestia evens page ) . Heras wrath on Zeus’s lovers.

Story idk? - The first time you have a chance at the top is the second one you get a free pet for the second time and you can give me the money for it I don’t have to pay you for the first one but you have a good pet and I have to get a good one for you. And then you have the money for me so you could give it to me. The only reason why I’m asking you to give it back to you was to get a little money from the government to help you with the rent because you were not able and you didn’t want me and you were going through the same things that you were doing and The only thing I could think about was that I didn’t want you and you didn’t have any of the stuff you were supposed for you and you didn’t have the stuff that I wanted you and you were supposed and you were just going through with the rent so that I didn’t want it and I don’t know if I could do that but you did it or if it would just tell him you had the right amount that was what he wanted you know I just didn’t wanna be doing anything about you not having it I didn’t know that it wasn’t worth your effort I didn’t Wanna put that into a problem and then it wasn’t a good so I’m just saying it is not my business but I’m just gonna say I am sorry so you are a big fan so if you’re going out and you’re gonna come to the house you know I’m sorry but I’m just so sad so I’m just not happy I’m just happy and you don’t have any other people that are going through that is all you do that I am just saying you have no problem I’m not going through and you don’t even have a good I’m not going out of the world I don’t care what happens but I’m sorry you don’t know that you have no more people to me you are so much of me you just want you know I’m sorry and I’m just like and that’s the end MADE BY:your mom

Stories - “Ugh back to school and my bully is probably going to be in my class along with her cute handsome boyfriend but nobody likes me they just use me to do their work, and just because Clara(the bully) and James(her bf) are alphas doesn’t mean Clara gets to treat me like doo doo.” Says Phoebe. At school. “Hah looser!” Says Clara. “You won’t ever get my bf.” “Yeah I will Clara but we used to be besties until he came.” Says Phoebe. “Whatever, BABE! Please help me this girl tried to hurt me!” Says Clara. “No babe we have to protect people not just us,” Says James. “Plus she was my childhood best friend so I’m finally happy to see her again.” “I am?” Says phoebe. “She is?” Says Clara. “Yes I just wanted to see if she remembered me but i know we both knew we liked each other since I can read minds.” Says James. “Y-y-you can?!” Says Clara. “Yes and I know you’re just using me for fame and money.” “N-n-no n-n-not at all bae!” “Really then why is that boy mouthing “Bae wanna go on a date tomorrow?” Says James. “No he isn’t bae!” “Whatever we’re done!” Once upon a time a dog named Mila followed her friend Raven the cat into the woods. Then there was a huge camp where cats all lived together and in the same place. Mila was a snuggle bug and when her owners were playing recorder, she licked the recorder. When the cats saw her coming, they shrieked in a weird language and ran off. Mila felt alone more than ever. Raven licked Mila so she wasn’t sad. Then Bella the wolf came over and said, “I’ll talk to the cats for you”. Raven walked away from Mila and Bella. Then he found a camp of dogs! The dogs were powerful and could chase him off! Raven hissed, as the leader of the dogs spotted him. “Who are you to trespass in our camp!?”asked the leader dog. Raven hissed at her and ran away. He wondered why cats and dogs couldn’t live peacefully! Bella walked to the river where the cats were drinking from. “Why did you guys run away from Mila? She wouldn’t hurt a fly!”Said Bella. The cats ran across the water away from Bella. Bella snorted and walked back to her pack. Bella has to show the animals of the forest that they could all be friends. Then Bella had an idea! Mila walked out of her house and sniffed the ground. She figured she’d go and visit Milky the cow. Then she saw Bella coming from the farm with a chicken. “Hi Bella. Find a way to make the cats and dogs like each other?”asked Mila. “Yes in fact let’s go to Barker. Barker can call everyone together to show that we can all be friends. Mila remembered that Barker was a huge mountain lion. Mila was nervous around him but if it meant peace... Raven sat down next to Mila and Bella at the Gathering that Barker called. “Three animals have shown they can be friends. Raven, Mila, and Bella! Please step forward. We can all be friends everyone! We don’t need to fight over boundaries!”Barker yelled from up above. Raven felt like he could reach the stars on the rock. “But dogs chase cats! Wolves hurt the dogs! And cats attack the wolves! How can they be friends?”asked the audience. “Just as you suspected. They helped their community by becoming friends. Now you can too! We will all be united as one forest!”Said Barker. Raven calmed down. His neck fur still bristling. “Mhm...okay I guess we could try to be friends.”Said the audience. Bella took care of her sister’s pups for the day. Now that Barker fixed everything, everyone could go anywhere they wanted. “Hi Raven!”Said Bella. Raven waved and went back to fetch Mila. Then the three of them had fun for the rest of their lives THE END! -from UnicornLover’s best friend

I love cats and support - Emoji master, what u your saying is just so mean and cruel. I just don’t understand why you would say things like that. I understand that you’re just saying what you believe in but please keep your mean thoughts to yourself. And any other lgbtq hater’s out there, just keep your awful opinions to yourself. Anyway, I love this podcast and I think less adds and more dog king. Also can you please make meow maid part please? I love cats and personally I think they get a bad rap. Make more where cats are the good sweet good guys, ok?

Special Way to Bond With My Kids Every Night - My kids love this podcast, and so do I. They have their favorite episodes that we come back to again and again, but we also look forward to new episodes each week! I love how they bring in other kids’ podcast storytellers, too. It gives us a chance to try other new podcasts, but ultimately, we keep coming back to this one. These storytellers bring a variety of perspectives and types of stories, so there’s bound to be certain stories or series of tales your kids will latch onto. On a separate note, I recently saw some critical reviews complaining about gender presentation in some episodes. These stories are for everyone. If you don’t personally relate to one, that’s fine. But please don’t try to ruin something so wonderful because you can’t fathom a life experience outside your own. I would have loved to have this as a kid.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 00:50:05 GMT

Demiboy now :) - Emoji Master your Christian That’s fine. Everyone will have their own beliefs that’s ok. It’s what makes the world amazing being different. What’s not ok is blatantly making others feel bad. You can have your opinions BUT KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF AND STOP HURTING OTHER PEOPLE. Imagine if someone tried to criticize you and make you feel bad about being Christian? Have your opinions just keep them to yourself and stop hurting people. If this really bothers you then just stop listening to this podcast. Also kids should learn about gay stuff. Gay is Good
Sat, 04 Mar 2023 02:16:40 GMT

Preview before your children listen - I adored this podcast. So creative, great narrators, fun specials like the cereal brackets! but in the past years, stories have been written with a strong POV on gender that does not align with the values of all listeners. It feels like propaganda because there is no transparency in the story notes. Please give caretakers the respect of notifying them that a story will use language the introduces gender ideology. When you don’t do this, many feel excluded and pushed out of the circle. We don’t all have the same view of the world and have varying ideas of what is beautiful and true and good. I think you have good intentions. Please know you’ve caused grief in homes for caregivers who do not promote the current ideology. Instead of being inclusive with characters that exemplify gender nonconformity, you’re confusing kids and introducing adult topics about sexuality. Kids simply want universally good stories. I will sadly unsubscribe and stop paying because you probably won’t make a considerate change because of the fear of cancellation by totalitarian activists. I’m sorry to go.

I've been here since episode one... - And my rating hasn't changed. It's only my nd favorite podcast (the Story Pirates are my fav, go check them out later), but I still HIGHLY recommend this podcast, especially if you are bored or going to bed. My favorite thing about this podcast is Stories PodChats, especially the brackets (PLEASE do a Harry Potter character bracket! That would be AMAZING!). Brod Brackets ALWAYS cracks me up!

Making Me a Better Mama - I’ve followed Abbie on Instagram, read her book, and now started listening to her podcast. No matter the topic or the media she uses, Abbie is able to reframe my thinking in a Godly way. She never does this in a condescending, talking down to you manner. Instead, she relies on the word to sharpen you, her experience to guide you, and her own shortfalls to inspire you. My favorite episode, so far, is the one on toddlers. I just so happen to be struggling with a (almost year old) of my own. Abbie helped me to pivot from blaming my little sweetie for my anger and frustration. She helped me realize that, no, these are shortfalls of my own that just so happen to pop up when dealing with difficult behaviors from my daughter. These are areas God can grow and sanctify me in. What a different way of thinking than my own mind wanted me believing. I look forward to listening to more episodes and getting more doses of encouragement as I seek to be a better mama to my babies.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 05:22:13 GMT

Truthful encouragement! - This mama speaks the truth of God’s word. No sentimentalities that affirm complaining, griping or negativity. She values marriage, children and the Gospel work of motherhood. She brings the Gospel to bear on the day-to-day as it pertains to leading our children well; and, equally as important, how it transforms us as women by the saving power of Christ to model godliness and joy in our homes and to the world! Thank you, Abbie!
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 22:38:39 GMT

Real and Honest - As a new mama, this podcast has been such a source of encouragement to my heart! You hear so many scary things of, “You just wait until…” but Abbie sets things straight. Yes, raising babies is hard, but hard isn’t bad. It’s truly a privilege to be entrusted with some of God’s biggest blessings. Abbie is down to earth, honest, and so encouraging. Worth any mama’s listen for sure!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 19:41:18 GMT

Applicable and Encouraging - I am consistently surprised that this podcast has so much to offer me. I am not a homeschool mom and I “only” have children. Abbie does such a good job of pointing to Christ so I find a lot of takeaways, even from topics that don’t seem like they would apply to me. I appreciate that she points to scripture and by doing that, often speaks to broader topics as well.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:18:46 GMT

M is for Mama - More Mommin’ and More Jesus - What I love about Abbie is it is evident she seeks the Lord with all her heart in all aspects of her life. Though I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting her in person, she is absolutely someone I would consider a valuable “virtual mentor” in regards to living and loving the sanctifying mom life. I’m grateful for how she takes everyday situations we all face as mamas, shifts perspective, and turns the focus back back to Jesus which is super countercultural and so very needed. I’m thankful for Abbie’s mission and ministry and how it’s added value to my life. Hooray for her podcast!
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 14:34:11 GMT

Favorite new podcast - What a fantastic resource. Very easy to listen to. I have heard the name “M is for Mama” floating around but I don’t do much social media so this podcast is a great way for me to find out who the woman behind the name is. I have quickly devoured every episode! Abby challenges and encourages me without ever making me feel “less than.” She’s truly got a gift and from everything I’ve heard so far, she is so popular for a reason.

Outstanding - Your Sleep Train, House, and Christmas Tree episodes are just wonderful! The stories are all good, but those are my favorites. I think most any adult would enjoy them, as I do. While they are super kid friendly, they have a certain magical quality that makes you feel very at peace, entertained, and somewhat like a child again in the best possible way. My daughter has to listen to you every night, and the little hedge hog episodes are her favorite. You are very talented, and you should have lots of success!

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 02:32:19 GMT

Good podcast - I think that this is a good podcast, especially because it really draws in younger audiences and so it’s a great podcast for little kids. The stories are always child appropriate, and include characters that some kids may be able to relate to. So if your looking for a good podcast for your kids and you came across this one so your looking through the reviews to see if people like it, or if it would be a good podcast, then you should definitely check this one out. I personally don’t prefer these stories, but my little sister does listen to this podcast and cannot fall asleep without it. So overall, a pretty good podcast.

Amazing podcast! - This podcast is amazing! I find your stories very relaxing, and they always have funny characters, and a good plot! I’ve been listening to your podcast for about four years, and I often find myself listening to one of the episodes when I get anxious about something.

Anonymous - Hi I’m a biggish person and I listen to your podcast all the time! I think you should include more stories including Bebe’s mom. I think that there should be an episode where brambleton t beetle gets prosthetic wings and learns to fly! Also I love love love love love love little hedgehog sooooo much! I think there should also be a little hedgehog story where little hedgehog is having a big feelings day and gets in a fight with Bebe and one where Little Hedgehog breaks a bone and has to go to the hospital also one where Bebes mom marries little hedgehog’s dad and they have to learn how to not just be sisters but also better friends

Lala, I think you are a great human and love that you channel your true authentic self % of the time. You’re blunt and honest, and everyone who has given negative reviews clearly cannot take/handle blunt and honest opinions (that’s right, we’re all allowed to have our own opinions!) Keep it up

Hypocrite - This podcast is exactly like her character on the show, dumb & hypocritical. You can’t make yourself look good, or better yet, you get what you deserve. From “bjs on the pj” that Fofty was paying for because your husband had no money. As a matter of fact cents money created her whole lifestyle. Can’t call her a mistress, even though that’s what she was. Can’t question her about sleeping with your man because she was drunk. And please don’t ever be in competition with her over a guy because if she loses, boy o boy she gets extremely messy & demeaning. And please don’t mention what cent thought she looked like. This broad needs a shrink she’s a complete mess.

Sit Down Lauren - I’m so tired of hearing her run her mouth. She’s such a bully and spins the narrative constantly. She literally slept with Raquel’s fiancé and then has the nerve to say she wouldn’t trust Raquel around her man?? Randall was married when Lauren slept with him and even if she believed he was separated she’s still giving Raquel a hard time over Schwartz who actually was separated. This girl needs a long hard look in an unfiltered mirror for once. She’s vial and I hope her daughter doesn’t turn into the same toxic dumpster fire. I can’t imagine she’s a good mother with the way she bullies peoples.

The black kettle - Don’t understand the righteous authority police position Lala takes on S/E towards Raquel. Lala is calling Raquel out for exactly what the girls were encouraging her to do over the weekend… have fun and let loose. Then Lala feels threatened by Raquel after Lala belittles her. Saying she wouldn’t trust Raquel when she is drinking to be around her boyfriend. Raquel fires back saying good thing you don’t have a boyfriend (Boom ouch) The girls are all shocked. Seriously, Lala is a huge bully and gaslights people as her actions are beyond the most inappropriate of anyone!
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 03:36:44 GMT

Love listening to Lala, just gotta tolerate everyone else - The last episode “about Scandoval” was so cringe. Too many people trying to talk and be witty at the same time. Also a whole group bashing a Raquel for a full hour was giving bully vibes and I am SO not team Raquel but it was just overkill. I had a hard time getting through it except wanted to hear Lala’s thoughts on the scandal. In general, idk how much more I can take of Jess on the show. I’m sure she’s a great girl and an awesome assistant & friend, but she’s not cut out for podcasting! Her voice, her questions, her constantly affirming everything, it’s beyond annoying. And I know a lot of people have been saying this for a while but I just kept thinking “it’s not that bad, I can tolerate it to listen to Lala.” But I think it’s gotten worse! :/ I get excited when a guest is on so we can get a break from Jess and then NOPE there she is again chiming in on guest episodes too, why!? It’s too much. I guess I’ll stop listening and just check back every few months to see if Lala has gotten a new cohost.

I wanna listen to Lala podcast all day - I could listen to Lala gab forever! She’s funny, she has a great way of sharing her life openly and I think she brings women together in a really unique way. Obsessed with this podcast and I am waiting on each week for the new episode to drop. I really can’t get enough. I hope to god she never stops this podcast because a lot of podcasters don’t stick it out. I think Give Them Lala could go so far and I am here to see it. Love her Assistant Jessica too. She’s a good conversationalist

Love the pod but so harsh on Scheana! - I’m not a die-hard for Scheana but this broke my heart! You kind of humiliated her in front of a live audience! It seemed like you were so hard on her. Also, I don’t personally know either of you so maybe Scheana wasn’t offended by this so take this opinion with a grain of salt! But with that being said, I LOVE this podcast. I listen to it every single week and will continue to do so! We have babies right around the same way so it’s so nice to hear another mom experience some of the same things!

Lala - Girl you have the most masculine energy I’ve ever seen in a feminine woman. Maybe find your divine feminine energy again before you start dating. This is important. Life does this to people but its almost uncomfortable to watch sometimes. You puff out your chest and talk down on other women but then say you’re for women then act like you don’t care either way. People see through this insecurity and i know it’s hard after what you’ve been through but remember- by recognizing the divine in others, you acknowledge the divine in yourself.

So compelling! Love this Podcast! - I’ve bought most of the seasons on DVD (just not a few of the latest ones yet because they’re fresh in my head ) and watched all the extras, all the Ponderosa’s and I gotta tell ya this podcast has some teeth! You finally get to hear a lot about what happens from the other side of the camera and what goes into making this show so great! Thank you so much for this! Love hearing the stories and getting an inside perspective!

AMAZING - On Fire is truly lit. I have watched every episode from every season…yes I am old lol. It is so awesome to get all of the behind the scenes with Jeff and crew. What is so cool is to see how excited and enthusiastic Jeff is after all of this time and how he remembers every detail about the players and what has happened all of these years. He is the absolute best host and the show would never be the same without him. This podcast is great!!!!!

Great informative podcast - I love Survivor. If I didn’t why would I listen to this podcast? But even more than the game, I love learning how it is made. That’s what makes this podcast so awesome! From what they look for in casting to how the challenges are made ( tons of concrete blocks in the ocean!) this podcast is informative and very interesting. I’m looking forward to hearing more behind the scenes stuff. Keep up the good work!!

Take it from a Survivor fan - I am loving this podcast. Hearing from Jeff about the behind the scenes activities has been fun and enlightening. I have wondered about how the changes in the show each year come to be and all the effort it takes to get each season off the ground. Looking forward to hearing and learning more. Will we ever hear from some of the players? And really - Jeff’s hair ? I love it - leave it Jeff. I’m with you - I will never act my age!

One of the best pods around - Of course any survivor fan would love this podcast, but besides that I must say that this is one of the best produced podcasts out there period. As someone who listens to podcasts across every genre I’m very impressed. It’s so well done that it has quickly become my favorite podcast. Jeff’s voice is so easy to listen to and the information is great, you really feel like you’re getting to know the behind the scenes of survivor well. % fresh!

Survivor is the best - Survivor is so much a part of my world. I FaceTime weekly with a sister who is as much of a fan as I am. I bonded with a co-worker who I didn’t think I could even talk to but he saw my poster of Jeff on my office wall and now we talk for hours, especially about survivor. I have a friend who’s son works on the show so again, survivor! This podcast just adds survivor bonus to my world. Love this and please don’t stop!! You three make a great podcast team
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 02:44:09 GMT

Let’s me see Survivor with new eyes! - Well, not so new since they’re Jeff’s but they are new to me. This let’s me dive deeper into the show I’ve known and loved for so many years. The early shows are almost unwatchable to me to see one alliance vote off the non alliance players week after week. This podcast shows the changes to the game that end that old boredom. It’s such a better game now!

They never fail to make me laugh! - Absolutely LOVE these two quick-witted and silly humans! I have actually started watching other Bravo shows because of them. (Hope Bravo knows that they owe some of their viewership to them). I find myself saying things like “honAY!” and “I love that!” and the convos between Sandy and that dummy Norma… and of course “goddammit!!” Don’t get me started on the Padma/Gail thing. I love the s/s culture references… especially Ronnie’s (love you too, Ben, you’re just a little younger). Also love how they play off each other and make each other laugh. Lastly, these guys are so good/appreciative of their fans! They interact on Twitter and I really dig their live shows. Sorry for the long review, but it’s almost weird how much I enjoy these two. lol
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 16:31:09 GMT

Every Show is So Fun!! - Ben and Ronnie are fantastic! Their impressions are hilarious and their insight into the characters are spot on. They are completely in tune to what we viewers/ listeners are craving. Guaranteed to boost your mood, even on the gloomiest day. Shout out to Stassi for mentioning Watch What Crappens on her podcast back in . That’s how I first learned of this podcast and now I’m addicted and tell all my Bravo watching friends. Love you guys!!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:49:42 GMT

Hey Baybah! - I love Ronnie and Ben! I’m so glad I found them because I have nobody to talk to about my shows!! I love all the voices they do! I definitely watch more bravo/peacock shows just to binge their old episodes. I love the ongoing Captain sandy and Norma text conversations…(bloop) and Jennifer’s “baybah!” I say it around the house so much that my year old son even says it now This podcast makes me laugh so hard, you can tell they enjoy what they do.

YESS—Your Latest Episode - Y’all had the exact take I did lol. I thought I was going crazy. Of course I’d love to hate Raquel, but man, these girls make it hard. They are back to middle school bullying status. It was hard not to feel bad for Raquel, even knowing what we know. Love how y’all are able to flip flop (IN THE BEST WAY) and make it make sense. I sent quotes of Ronnie’s to friends to explain what I was feeling. Also I love y’all, been listening for years. Still mad at you for not responding to my instagram message lol. I’m a fellow Austinite and feeling sad over no reply. Lolol. No hate, I know y’all are slammed. Love you all the same! Keep on keeping on because your takes are on point.

Horse teeth… - This is the worst podcast out there horse teeth’s Voice is so loud and abrasive who could listen to it for more than two minutes. She has done so many things to try to be relevant. I wish Tamra would get away from her. She is choosing Tamra so that she can get people to listen to her podcast. Tamra needs her own podcast. I really want to give it - stars but there’s not a category for that.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 21:52:49 GMT

Refusing to lower the star any more because Tam is LIFE - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Teddi, STOP reading the articles/quotes. It is the same note myself and every person I know that listens to you guys have a problem with. You do not have a voice for that and we are constantly fast forwarding. We all read the quotes. Either let Tam read it or give a gist. It makes me want to stop listening. As a long time Tamara stan, I was so excited to hear her takes on a show like this. As usual, she did not disappoint. No notes, Tam. So, I have genuinely tried to like and appreciate Teddi. Admittedly, I was never a fan of her on RHOBH. I am doing my best to listen with fresh unbiased ears. Just please, whoever is managing this show, please let Tam moderate the show and read the quotes.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 22:53:17 GMT

Too Biased - Teddi is too biased when it comes to Beverly Hills. She never holds the other ladies accountable for anything and her hate for LVP she constantly brings up her name. Both Tamra and Teddi constantly talk over each other and their guests You really owe Jacqueline an apology. You need to fact check Melissa also. Teddi comparing taking diabetic medication to lose weight and having plastic surgery definitely not the same.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 11:55:17 GMT

Great podcast, terrible sound/audio - I have been listening to this podcast since Tamara was brought on—and I very much enjoy it! I think the content is pretty good and the tea is entertaining. I am giving them stars because their audio and voices are AWFUL. I almost never write a review but I am hoping SOMEONE at iHeart reads this and fixes their audio. I have to almost always lower my volume and if I’m listening in the car and my dog is with me, she is almost always frightened by their yelling (typically Teddy). It’s truly one of the worst audio set ups I have ever heard from a podcast. Ladies, please do better. I think you are fantastic and your commentary and opinions are valid, but please fix the sound. My ears hurts.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 01:49:21 GMT

Not again! - Another Melissa apology pod? I used to love listening to this pod. It was my go-to. In the beginning there was LOTS of yelling. That ended up getting better…. But it’s BACK! I voted in Teddi’s poll that they should recap scandaval… but that was a mistake. They read the whole apology we all read on insta days prior- snooze!! & Poor Justin…the yelling! He couldn’t get a word in! & AGAIN, today, Melissa is on! Also, I fast forward through them, but this podcast is / Ads. I don’t know any other that has more ads than this one. I did the math and literally close to min out of min is ads. It’s unfortunately going down hill. Maybe time for a break. Running out of things to really talk about, and when they do, the next episode ends up being a back pedal bec someone’s feelings got hurt - you don’t have to be everybody’s buddy! This is sad because I truly have listened to probably every episode. With all respect—Do better ladies, or time for a break IMO :(
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 12:35:42 GMT

I’m here for tea. - Decent podcast until you notice Tamra Grunge makes every single topic about herself. “Oh me, too…. yea when that happened to me…oh my husband does the same thing…” I mean she is RELENTLESS. I can’t tell if she’s that narcissistic or genuinely lacks social skills so she always takes it back to herself. It’s definitely a flaw that Teddi obviously notices, too. After a while of listening to her take on episodes, it will remind you of that one older colleague or annoying aunt that chimes in faking genuine interest in the topic of conversation just to be accepted or “cool”. I can’t with her. NEW CO-HOST, please!!! Yawning. Also stop acting like you two watch Vanderpump Rules.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 01:51:51 GMT

Fun podcast, terrible ads! - I was looking for something new and fun to listen to, and came across this as a new source for Housewives gossip. I’m enjoying it, and have been binge-listening while working out and just going about my day. But as fun as it is, these ladies need to STOP yelling over each other and their guests. They speak so loudly and don’t let guests get a word in edgewise, which is really hard to listen to. Please use restraint with each other and your guests, and let people answer your questions before jumping and and cutting them off. I bet guests are as annoyed as we are by the interjection and constant chaotic banter.

All the Emotions at Once - I’m not going to say this in any way that does it justice, but listening to this podcast while watching the show is a treasured experience for me. Neil and Craig, thank you so much for making all of our dreams come true with this project. To Troy and Ashley, y’all are the best. Thank you for allowing us to feel like we were with y’all geeking out on the details and insights of creating this masterpiece. It’s never been harder to wait for a sequel. Cheers and congratulations. —Patrick

My imaginary friends ! - I had never heard of the game. I am not a gamer but I love watching series and movies! Every time I watched an episode I would look forward to listen to the podcast on my way to work on Monday mornings. I was having conversations with all of you as I found a lot of my feelings and reactions to the episodes to be « in tune » with your talks! Amazing production, amazing podcast and amazing people!
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 22:28:25 GMT

Thank you SO MUCH for making this - I’ve been playing and replaying this game since about a year before the second one came out I think. When me and my dad heard that there was going to be a show for the game we were so excited. We were talking about it before the idea was even out there saying how this would be an amazing show and now that someone made it were so happy. The amazing choice of actors especially Joel makes everything way better. We listen to the podcast on the way to my moms house so I don’t normally get to hear all of it but here I am listening to it in my own. The acting is amazing along with their voices. This is just a / never seen a better show before.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 18:04:22 GMT

Entertainment, philosophy and therapy all-in-one - I started watching this show after my kids told me about the premise of the video game. I was obviously immediately hooked at the first episode. But the podcast! Such amazing commentary and background stories of love and the human condition. The closing comments on Episode were like a punch to the gut. “The fear a parent has is the most intense fear a person can have”. A mass shooting recently happened at one of my kid’s school. I’ve been struggling with the post-incident parental feelings. That comment gave words to what I was feeling and unable to describe; and weirdly made feel feel like I wasn’t losing my mind. I don’t suspect the host and show runners thought of that particular situation, but it speaks to the poignant and universal themes discussed on this podcast.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 01:01:15 GMT

Best part of my week - It is such a gift to watch and listen to people talk about something they care about so much. I love the insights into making the episodes and the thought process we’re walked through in this podcast! Troy Baker is a great host as well-doesn’t insert more than necessary and asks great questions. If you’re watching the show you HAVE to listen to this podcast as well! And if you’re not watching the show-do that!!
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 11:05:10 GMT

So insightful and a joy to listen to! - Ok I am absolutely GRIPPED by this show and love listening to the podcast about each episode. Y’all, I feel like a TV show has no business being this good!!! And hearing the show runners talk about each episode is so special. What they say about creating the show from the game and discussing the difference is very interesting. It’s beautiful and thoughtful and enhances the experience of watching the show. I never realized I could feel so much from watching tv. Amazing work.
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 16:41:08 GMT

I love this game, I love this show, I love this podcast! - I’ve been listening on Spotify but I came here just to leave a review. I’m such a big fan of the games, and I think this show is phenomenal so far, and I love listening to Craig and Neil talk because it shows exactly why the show is so good. They both have such a strong passion for this story and doing it justice. As a fan of Uncharted as well, I’m somewhat disappointed it didn’t get the same attention, but this show is just far and beyond anything I could have hoped for. It is the perfect blend of faithful adaptation, designing a story from a game to be told in a tv series, and improving the story when and where they feel it can be. I’m a huge fan of the second game as well and I hope future seasons get the same attention and love. Troy does a great job steering through the episode plot beats and asking interesting questions, while occasionally providing his own input. Keep it up, I listen to this every week.

Masterclass into story and human behavior - The Last of Us game made an immense emotional impact on me; the HBO show has only deepened my experience of this beautiful and tragic story. Through this podcast I’ve gleaned such valuable insight into the creative and character driven choices made to bring this story alive in a new medium. As an actor and aspiring writer/director, I’ve found the insight into why these characters do what they do invaluable. Its inspiring to watch the show and have my own insights, only to hear Craig and Neil affirm what I saw. Not to say I’m so brilliant, but It goes to show how what amazing and adept storytellers these artists are; their intentions are expressed so clearly in the final product. That’s not easy! The TV show is like a intricate jazz cover of your favorite song. You know the melody, it’s structure, how it makes you feel, but hearing it in a new form and interpreted through the skill of a brilliant artist(Craig), allows you to unpack and explore all the new shapes that you never knew your favorite song could become. I’d be remiss not to mention Troy Baker’s passionate and illuminating questions that steer the podcast to many of its wonderful insights. Thank you so much for taking the time each week to deepen my understanding of this beautiful story and the creative process. I’m so grateful!

this show!!! gosh dang - i have been absolutely eating up this show. i haven’t loved a show this much, probably ever. i was so excited to find the podcast a few weeks ago and i listened to all four episodes back to back. getting to hear how every choice was intentional, every piece of music has layers of meaning. ugh it’s so good. i love the show. and i love this podcast. it’s so brilliantly written. it genuinely blows my mind. anyways thanks guys. i look forward to each episode of the podcast just as much as the episodes of the show. :)
Mon, 27 Feb 2023 20:47:02 GMT

I love these - I am loving the show and also the podcasts. I think it’s quite well done the way the directors have seized the opportunity to develop characters I really enjoy—even Kathleen I feel a certain sympathy for by having been put in her shoes. She’s Joel without the redemption he’s earning through Ellie. I am very tired of the over-used trend of over-emphasis on gay love, but otherwise—brilliant.
Mon, 27 Feb 2023 14:25:36 GMT

Thank you for everything! - A game-to-show fan. I typically don’t watch a series until at least whole season has been released but I couldn’t help myself this time around. My partner isn’t a gamer and only knows from what I’ve shared over the years of playing. It was such a delight to enjoy this story together and catch his reactions as a first time viewer. Episode : CHILLS Episode : fascination, pain Episode : SOBBING I will never love poorly again. Episode : excitement Episode : triggered a new goal of learning ASL, pain part guest starring The Bloater Episode : please give us more of this couple. Baby Shimmer Dina!?? Episode: : RILEY!! Can’t wait for episode ! I can’t believe the season is almost over. It’s been an amazing ride so far! Thank you to Craig, Neil, NaughtyDog, Pedro, Bella and everyone that played even the tiniest role in bringing this together. Congratulations on locking in season !!

decent pod, but have major issues - While I check-in regularly to hear Sean and Amanda’s thoughts on topics I find interesting, I’m not an active subscriber for two reasons: . Sean can be extremely doom and gloom about the industry—to a nauseating degree. At times it seems like the passion well has run dry for him, and even if he likes a film, there’s a degree of defeatism and negativity that he just puts a damper on most discussions. . Amanda comes across as extremely narrow-minded. There are a lot of really nasty and sexist reviews here, so I’m going to try and be as kind and respectful as possible here: I really dislike the way she seems to write-off entire genres and styles of filmmaking. She comes at anything animated or that uses genre elements with extreme prejudice and derision. I get that she’s sick of soulless superhero movies and Illumination productions, and we all have our preferences, but it’s rude and unprofessional not to give something like GDT’s Pinocchio the time of day and treat it like disposable trash without even watching it.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 21:04:52 GMT

… - I have listened for a long while. I like the rapport Sean and Amanda have. They are good friends and you can feel it, which is lovely. With that in mind, in a dream world, adam nayman and Joanna Robinson would be the hosts of this show instead. They run laps around Sean and Amanda when they are guests. Adam is one of the best critics out there and joanna doesn’t dismiss/talk down on movies and genres that are outside of her wheelhouse. Food for thought. Bye bye
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 00:42:04 GMT

Love - I super Duper love these guys, I just have one issue with their Oscars recap… Every time I hear a “lack of star power” the sub text is (unintentionally) “lack of white people“. Are there young super A-list Hollywood celebrities? Yes. Are there super A-list Hollywood celebrities of color? Yes. But when we are talking about the “star power“ we’re talking at least % white people… especially considering how the cohort of A-list actors of color is only recently really starting to grow. When I hear “the death of the Movistar” I actually don’t mind. To me, it means we are no longer entrusting only a rarefied group of actors to tell our stories. It’s a good thing.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 01:53:30 GMT

Generally fun but TOO LONG - Sean and Amanda are fun co-hosts who enjoy their witty banter. They are great at discussing films in a highly intellectual way without being too academic about the subject, though they could occasionally be better served by being more like their occasional guest, Adam Nayman. The problem with these podcast episodes are that they are WAY TOO LONG. I’ve never listened to an episode that couldn’t have been just as informative in about - minutes in length.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 17:24:00 GMT

Fabelmans - Love the podcast. I bought the fabelmans on Apple after listening to your podcast and was not disappointed . This movie was best movie of the year. I listen to this podcast and the Rewatchables exclusively to find out what my next purchases will be . You have not let me down yet! On a side note I did not even know the film whiplash existed until I heard about it on the Rewatchables. Holy crap what a good movie that was. Purchased that one also
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 23:04:00 GMT

Read your reviews! We are all echoing the same sentiments - Y’all have officially shown how out of touch you both are by saying the th academy awards show was terrible. Are you both completely nuts? Neither of you seem to like anything, AD is the worst. You have a dream job Amanda and you show up unprepared and never bother to watch the films discussed. That was easily the best show the Oscars have produced in YEARS. That is worth celebrating, not whining about especially as a movie podcast that claims to love cinema!!!! So sensitive! Shots taken that you’re offended about over Ireland and babylon? Newsflash Sean and Amanda, they’re jokes. This show was so well produced, with gorgeous production design and you two just find anything you can to whine about. I’ve been listening to TBP since and at this point I’m over it the more and more rude and bitter the two of you get. Lighten up. The Oscar’s ’this year were a huge win in terms of steps forward and the changes they made to improve upon the show should be discussed by a popular movie podcast and hilighted … but no, A and S don’t seem to like anything anymore and are just so whiny.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 17:44:23 GMT

Sean is great, Amanda should watch movies - Sean Fennessy is very well informed on movies, has excellent taste but for the life of meI don't understand how that Ringer has Amanda Dobbins as a co host, she often doesn't even watch films they are talking about and just tells us what is on Wikipedia- she is supposedly an editor at Ringer, would she like people writing articles and things they don't know? Please give Sean a real co host
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 16:05:19 GMT

Please give this show to Adam Nayman - Cannot think of anything more on brand for this show than to do a watch along of a superhero movie during Oscar week. The episodes have gotten so repetitive and irksome. Sean is “living” for bad movies and Amanda is “happy for you” but they like Moneyball! Nauseating. If I were an alien, fresh off the mothership and heard this podcast upon on arrival, I would steer clear of all movies.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 01:31:06 GMT

Dobbins: An Uninformed Hack - Amanda is the most proudly ignorant film reviewer I’ve ever heard/seen/read. She’s the most easily triggered podcaster around with her thin skin and quickness to lash out. Her taste is so narrow and anything outside of that narrow scope is mocked. What she doesn’t realize is she sounds like a child in doing that. She tries to sound like she’s above genres she doesn’t like but she just comes off as profoundly stupid. Also, she owns one of the more grating voices in podcasts. Why does she pronounce every word ending in “-ing” by biting a hard “k” sound? Sean has discovered his new “I think I sound smart” word by using “rendered” far too often, sometimes twice in the same sentence as he attempts to sound posh.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 13:44:31 GMT

The time has come - Alright. I’m a long-time listener of this podcast, and I think I’ve unfortunately reached my breaking point. People often make ad hominem attacks on the hosts for petty reasons, and this review skips that. Not everyone will like every podcast host, so it’s pointless to critique since that stuff. My issue isn’t the host’s knowledge or personalities, but that the focus of The Big Picture is too diffuse. The most interesting parts are no longer featured. Now, that’s subjective, but it’s strange that Interviews are edited into the end of episodes. And the show’s obsession with list-making to replicate written listicles is just not very engaging. Movie drafts are a slog and often come off like creating content for the sake of it. Since The Ringer has lots of overlap with film and TV podcasts, and I’ve been a loyal listener for years, I get that TBP needs to differentiate itself from a content perspective. But movie drafts, halls of fame, top X film genre lists—it can get pedantic and even boring. Ultimately, a new format could save the show. Less focus on lists and gimmicks are more on conversations between Sean, Amanda, and filmmakers/actors/producers/sound editors/film editors/etc. would be so much more engaging for people who love films. I want to hear from experts about how movies are made, how scenes are shot and edited, and the skills that go into pulling off one of the most challenging creative pursuits we have—hundreds of people working on a set to create art and/or popular entertainment. While this is a break-up letter (absurd, I know), I do want to thank Sean, Amanda, and all their guests for their hard work over the years. Putting the show together can’t be easy. So while I’m out on the show now, I wish them luck and appreciate for all the free content.
Sat, 04 Mar 2023 17:13:48 GMT

Good Show - These two are good together, and have a wealth of knowledge about film and pop culture. They have good chemistry as long friends and together are much better balanced than some of the other ringer shows, which can get pedantic or frankly exhausting. Amanda is a truly unique person and has some great insights, and some of the negative reviews on here reek of misogyny. There are times when I wish Chris was the co-host, yes, but I like a podcast world with AD in it. Do I love every minute and agree with every insight? No, but welcome to podcasts. I skip almost all the marvel episodes, but maybe I’m not the one intended target for those. I listen to all the movie drafts but when they start getting negative it’s really uncomfortable.

One of my favorite rewatch podcasts! - This show is fantastic! I get to feel nostalgic as Danielle, Will and Rider reminisce and reveal behind the scenes stories from Boy Meets World and their other past projects. Plus, they always share things going on in their present lives, which makes it feel like you're a friend listening in on the conversation. I also appreciate the honesty with both the hosts and the guests in sharing the good and the bad that happened during the run of BMW. Thanks for this wonderful podcast that is truly entertaining!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 04:13:53 GMT

The best Pod in the world! - I’ve listened to my fair share of podcasts and this one by far is the best out there! Not only does it give me the nostalgic feels I didn’t know I needed, the trio combination of Danielle, Rider and Will make for such a smooth listen and pair soooo well together! Even though the year will be before we reach the finale , I will be here every pod of the way!!! I’m obsessed!
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 02:07:41 GMT

I Love Itt! - Honestly, I’ve never tried to listen to a podcast before, really! However when I heated you guys had a podcast I felt I had to listen! I absolutely enjoy it! You guys are such a big inspiration to me and thank you! I love Boy Meets world, it’s my favorite show. It couldn’t have been as great as it was to me without you guys. Hearing you how you guys honestly feel then and now helps me look at things from different perspectives which is great and increases my love for the show and you guys even more. So, Thank you, for everything.

Whoops! Forgot to review! - Well I have listened to all episodes thus far. The podcast is nostalgic and super fun. The throwback references are hilarious. Listening to Danielle, Will, and Rider make you feel like you are hanging out with your own friends from school days. Looking forward to seeing how far this podcast goes. Loved both BMW and GMW. This has my wife and I rewatching the series. I especially enjoy learning about the personal daily quirks of all three hosts. Thanks! -Steve class of :)
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 19:12:26 GMT

Love Will & Danielle! - If Rider could let anyone else talk… We get it, you’re very intellectual and have been a scholar from a young age. With your literature and poetry reading, you’re better than all of us. He talks so fast to fit all of his amazing thoughts into one sentence. He has to make sure everyone knows what an enlightened & self aware human he is. It’s his entire personality. No one can get a word in edge wise when he takes off. All gas and no brakes. Dude. Just chill. It’s not that deep. Also the Duracell commercials need to go.
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 00:01:57 GMT

Fantastic time with friends. - I’ve never listened or continued to listen to a podcast from the beginning, but I loved BMW when it was on TV, and I’d watch it pretty much all the time. This show is great. I love the recaps that Ryder, Will, and Danielle do, sharing their memories from when they filmed, but my favorite episodes are those where they chat with other members of the show and what there memories are. You definitely feel the love that the three have for their guests. The show just feels like hanging out with friends. I’ll definitely continue listening. Also, this is my first ever review of a podcast.

This is for Will! Great podcast btw guys - I have been enjoying the podcast I arrived to the USA when the local channels were airing reruns of the first two seasons at the same time they were airing Batman/Superman adventures and animaniacs. Anyway I was watching my a random documentary on the pumping iron movie about Arnold swartzeneger and one of the guys from mash was actually almost in pumping iron but i just thought I’d throw it out there to Will Friedle all I ask in return is say hi to Jorge Mendoza :) it’d be a huge honor to yours truly. Keep going guys I’ve been enjoying every single podcast you guys make me look back at one of the hardest times in my life in a pleasant way bc I left Mexico in and was one of Hispanic students in all of my middle school th grade class. So I got all of Cory’s anxieties x . Lol cheers

This is a special show, so grateful for it. - First of all, I discovered Wizards of Waverley Place fairly recently, so new content is super exciting!! Thank you both so much for doing this! I know it must take a ton of time and energy. I see a lot of people saying that you talk over each other and that Miss Stone is “rude.” I would totally disagree. The atmosphere is playful, friendly and relaxed. Because it is chill, it is not a perfect podcast. However, it is super fun to watch on YouTube. I don’t either of you need to change what your doing. It is so special to get to sit in on your fun conversations. Thank you both for doing this! I seriously love it. As a last note, there is a fair amount of swearing. I don’t mind, it just shows that your having fun, but it might be a good idea to mark it for that so that people know before they turn it on. Over all, it’s not a big deal and I am just so happy to have this podcast!

Wizards pod - I love the concept of the pod. I missed out on the first Q&A but will try to catch the next one. However, there is entirely too much overtalking going on. You both over talk each other and its to the point where you would start speaking super fast to avoid being cut off by one another. I will listen to a few more pods to see if anything changes but I would really hate to go. I hope you take constructive criticism in the right way and listen to your listeners .

Nostalgic but grown up - I do enjoy hearing these two talk. And I LOVE when Selena came on the show. I will say the title of the podcast is misleading, because % of the podcast is just about fun chat and down to earth convos. I like that because i have a childhood investment into the actors. I was pleasantly surprised because this had the potential to be cringey reliving our childhood show, but it's not! :)
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 23:55:06 GMT

Thank you for my childhood - I love this and the adhd/dyslexia/autoimmune talk is so helpful for me plus hearing the behind scenes secrets etc… Alex and Harper were great for me cause they both just owned themselves weren’t the “typical” stereotype/ very peppy : which I needed growing up… PS I loved how you incorporated the spanish/Latin american well in this show cause I could use in it spanish class

Love you guys, huge fan! - I remember watching Wizards of Waverly place when it was on tv, and having to run to do things at commercial and hurry back to not miss anything! I have rewatched the series many many times (I’m currently rewatching it now). I love this podcast, it’s so fun hearing y’all’s thoughts and feelings about the show. It would be so cool to have a reunion! Thanks for the laughs, love all the cast!
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 14:32:44 GMT

Loving it! - I am so loving this podcast so far… It has a very father/daughter dynamic that feels very homey (if that’s how you spell it lol)… but also you both have great personalities and it’s very easy to listen to, and it just brings me joy! I like that you are bringing every day life/experiences into talking about the episodes. I just stopped listening to a podcast that I listened to for a while… It’s a long story why I stopped lol, but anyways, now I have a new podcast that I love—so, thank you!

I do enjoy, here’s some thoughts - Absolutely enjoy the recaps, appreciate the details they all share. I have to agree though with a couple of other Reviews here. It feels like Joy is really the only one maintaining neutrality, asking questions and sustaining a genuine interest in seeking to understand. I’m also not the biggest fan of how long the rants or tangents get, how many ads there are and so on! I do still love this podcast and will continue to listen!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:27:32 GMT

Hmmm - I love this Podcast! I don’t understand the comments about not liking when they go off on tangents- to me that is the most interesting part. I also don’t agree that Joy is the best part, she has something interesting things to say but I feel like she is too intentional in her comments. Like she is trying to say the right thing instead of being sincere. She comes off as pretentious, especially when she talk in her quiet breathy voice. I love Sophia and Hillary, they have great chemistry.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:14:52 GMT

Love! - This podcast is a real light in my life. I feel really grateful to be able to listen to these successful women share their wisdom and experiences in the world. I think it’s really honorable of them to share their honest opinions on important issues we’re facing in this country. I’m also glad they’re calling out parts of the show that didn’t age well, and I love that this podcast seems to be helping them process and recover from what they went through behind the scenes. I commend them for sharing their stories. I love the show, but it’s important to talk about these things so we can learn and grow. Highly recommend this podcast, it’s refreshing and hilarious, and I always have a better day when I listen to an episode!

Thank you from the depths of my soul - I’ve been watching since the pilot premiered. I’m only a couple of years older than you guys so it always kind of felt like we were growing up together. I would see situations I had just been through or was going through at the time and the show, your characters, always showed me a perspective I hadn’t thought of or a classy, graceful, way to handle certain relationships, moments, and coming of age. A year and a half ago I lost my mother. Desperately trying to distract myself and self soothe I started another rewatch (the first in a couple of years and only the second time ever watching seasons -) because my usual comfort show was something that my mom and I shared and I just have not been ready to go there. I happily ensconced myself in a tree hill bubble relishing the drama and the character arcs I knew I had to look forward to. Bringing me back to my very early ’s, reminding me of what we had all “gone through” to grow up. And then suddenly, we’re adults. We’re worried about jobs and pregnancies and real things amongst all the melodrama and hyperbole. And there you all are: P Sawyer, B Davis, and Mrs James Scott my three best friends at a time when I needed you most. Joy - your delivery of Lydia’s death storyline was spectacular. Even though I was in the fetal position with my heart just shattered it was so real and ugly and nonsensical as grief truly is. It showed me that so much of what I was feeling was valid. My girls, showing me again how to cope, that it’s okay to feel, that even when we think we’ve grown up there’s so much more to learn, to share, to go through and that friendship can sustain you even at your lowest lows. This podcast is a gift that I want all three of you to know I am so truly grateful for. Spending an hour with you a week sometimes gets me through the mental quagmire and on to one more day. Given the experiences you had I am so incredibly appreciative that you are willing to discuss and revisit that time in your lives for us. In giving us your thoughts, your memories, your opinions, you make the sum so much greater than the parts. Thank you for being willing to separate the ugly memories from the beautiful ones. I’m grateful that you are able to own your art. Because it matters.

It’s getting awkward - I love this podcast but it’s starting to get awkward that Chad has not been on as a guest. Was he not invited or did he turn it down? I understand the past and all but it is a glaringly obvious omission. I was thinking the same thing about James but saw that the new episode was just posted with him. I also wanted to say that at the beginning I thought Joy was kind of boring and didn’t fit in, but she is the only one really breaking down the episodes now and doesn’t go on tangents. I appreciate her!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 19:41:32 GMT

Proud of your openness - Thank you all for being willing to share your experiences on and off the screen. We often feel as though we are owed this but we are not. I appreciate everything you share and touch on and despite it all have stayed true. Your friendship is a beautiful bi-product and I love listening to you all together. Just heard this quote for the first time and had to share after listening to the Episode from Honey Grove, TX “Your silence will not protect you.” -Audre Lorde
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 17:46:52 GMT

Love, love love this podcast - This podcast is a highlight of my week. I love that you are all so open and honest about your experiences. I truly enjoy hearing about behind the scenes information and stories from each episode. I can’t wait to continue to follow along as you knock out more episodes and seasons! I also can’t wait to see what other costars will join in on future episodes. Keep up the great work!!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 15:15:51 GMT

It’s ok - I love OTH it’s one of my favorites. I was so excited when this podcast started. However I do agree with the other reviews I have seen. I am bummed to hear all kinds of trailing off to other subjects especially politics and the repetitive conversations of “the men” on your show. We all understand what you all were put through by now, and I get it, it comes up from time to time. But I just think your viewers come here for the nostalgia of the series and to hear the joyful memories and the nice behind the scenes moments that we don’t know about. It seems like you all speak mostly negatively which is not fun to hear every week. Other than joy, she is very easy going. Also the elephant in the room, where are James and chad?? It’s been a while and to still not have them on once is a bit obnoxious. I think this has potential to go downhill soon if you don’t have the guys from the show on soon. Atleast give an explanation. Overall I do like to listen to you guys, just Some skipping forward happens lol. And for the love of God please stop pushing your views on people!!!

We love u Joy - I have started to write many reviews of this show over the last year and have deleted them all… mainly because I knew what I was getting into by listening to this podcast from what I have seen from them on social media for so many years. I eventually had to unfollow everyone except Joy. These ladies were iconic to me growing up, and I want to love this podcast so much. It has been discouraging and heartbreaking to hear them celebrate destructive behavior and lead their loving fans into harmful ways of thinking. It is wearisome to hear things discussed with seeming authority, articles, and data while remaining so narrow-minded and ignorant of avalanches of data and articles to the contrary. I know they will never hear or understand or open their mind to the other side of things from a review comment, so I haven’t gotten into this in the past. One thing I do think is worth calling out is something that happened in the latest Q&A episode. Sophia and Hilarie were openly maligning and ridiculing the beliefs of one of their own. Joy is openly Christian and bravely lives her faith and shares her faith in an industry where this is not popular or celebrated. If the other girls don’t know this, they don’t know their “friend.” I have heard little biting comments about faith-related things throughout the podcast, but on the latest Q&A episode they were bringing up and recommending books that attack and threaten her faith, and speaking of the contents of their books like they are some kind of authority - right in Joy’s face. Can you imagine if the situation were reversed and the girls were celebrating resources disputing one of Sophia’s core beliefs? This was so obnoxious and disrespectful. I hope they realized this and apologized to her.

The power of nostalgia - I love this podcast! I love hearing them go on tangents and hearing what the teen experience was like in the s/early s. Something that can improve this podcast is doing a frame by frame format. Sometimes they won’t cover everything that occurred in the episodes. It makes sense, they’re going to remember their experiences the most and not talk about the male storylines as much. I understand (although I don’t really agree) why there is such backlash from conservative listeners. I think it’s important to hear everyone’s perspectives on the topics covered in this show and how it has changed in the last twenty years, but if you see hostile and negative reviews…that’s why.

Terrible!!! - I don’t care about celebrities nor do I follow any celebrities on social media. However, I was excited to listen to this podcast - get insights and different opinions from the three main female roles from one of my favorite shows! That changed quickly!!! I had to stop listening to the podcast and stop following it on social media. These girls are judgmental, hypocritical, arrogant, immature, narrow-minded, and a plethora of other adjectives. They are unable to separate the characters from the actors who played them. They are also unable to watch the show objectively. They trash the writing - let’s remember this was a teen drama done in the early ’s and not some critically acclaimed, award-winning show. They constantly whine about the way they were objectified yet they have no qualms about objectifying the men on the show. They act as though they were forced to do all the things they had to - newsflash, you could have said no. You stayed for the money and fame - that’s all fine and dandy but shut up about it already! They are completely out of touch with reality - mainly Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton. Sophia loves to push her extreme, leftist views - she spends more time going off on her political tangents than dissecting the episodes (this is supposed to be a rewatch podcast, correct?!?). Hilarie spends most of her time repeating the same stories from her own high school experience - nobody cares about your life in Virginia anymore! I still remember when one of the girls (can’t remember who) said that acting is the hardest job in the world. Absolutely ridiculous! These two girls preach about love and kindness yet they are mean-spirited and insufferable both on the podcast and in real life. Bethany Joy Lenz is the only one who is somewhat tolerable to listen to - however, the other girls (especially Sophia) talk over her. If you want to listen to some bitter, -year-old women moan incessantly about the show that made them “famous” or have their political opinions shoved down your throat, then, this is the podcast for you. If you want to listen as someone actually dissects the episodes in an unbiased way, then, I suggest you go looking elsewhere. The only positive thing I can say about this podcast - “Drama Queens” is an accurate title because these girls are nothing but drama (and, not the entertaining kind!).

Love the show, hate the chewing sounds - I love this show so much and I love listening every week so so much BUT I need Joy to stop eating while recording. It often sounds like she is talking with food in her mouth and it’s very distracting and annoying and NOW she is podcasting while driving!!! Hunni if you can’t carve the time out of your day to record during times you are not eating or driving please sit the week out. It’s simply unsafe and a horrible example to set. Holy unsafe driving!
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 01:22:12 GMT

Disappointed - I was so excited when this first aired. I’ve loved OTH since it was on tv. The first few episodes were wonderful, but it’s since steadily declined. Sophia is very preachy, and isn’t able to see any points of view that differ from her own. She bulldozes anyone who tries to say something, whether they’re disagreeing or not. It’s hugely obnoxious. Also, she can’t separate herself from Brooke, and will make excuses for anything Brooke does, no matter how awful. Yet in the same breath she’ll tear apart other characters for their flaws, and completely write them off. Hilarie tries too hard to come off as cool. I actually thought she was the coolest ever before the podcast came out - I loved her book and the farm updates she shared online, but now she seems very forced. Joy is the only one who has kept me listening for this long, but unfortunately I’m over it at this point. Especially when the other ladies don’t even let her get a word in edgewise. Sophia dominating her sharing her thoughts on abortion was horrendous and embarrassing. Even if I don’t always agree with what Joy says, at least she’s respectful of the other ladies and let’s them finish their thoughts before replying. The podcast isn’t fun to listen to anymore, and I’ve even lost interest in the show. The ladies continually trash the show and the writing, and are convinced they single handedly saved a show they clearly hate with their “amazing” acting skills. Any time a character they don’t like (ahem, Lucas) does something, he’s horrendous. If any of their characters do, it was simply terrible writing. Again, especially Sophia. They constantly objectify the male actors they find attractive, to the point where it’s cringey and awkward. But in the same breath, they complain about misogyny when their looks are focused on or even mentioned, unless it’s by one of them. They’re so hypocritical. And please give us, the listeners, more credit: we know the early s is different from present day - many of us grew up back then, and we are able to deduce what did not age well. It’s just a cheesy teen soap, after all.

To see Joanna is to understand Joanna - I’ve been listening to this show off and on because I enjoy the subject matter in general, but I frequently find myself having to turn it off about minutes in because Joanna can’t seem to prevent herself from interjecting her inane non-sequitur social commentary “hot takes”, with the nuance of a year old girl regurgitating other people’s words. She can’t seem to avoid inserting her pandering banal woke speak in relation to any and every aspect of whatever program is being discussed, with seemingly zero awareness that her personal contribution to the world, which is essentially just offering opinions about other people’s fantasy tales, makes her a pretty ironic narrator when discussing her perceived take on other people’s marginalization. She doesn’t actually DO anything, she doesn’t BUILD anything, she doesn’t CONTRIBUTE anything. She’s the epitome of marginalized, albeit self-induced. She’s a completely irrelevant person who brings nothing to the world beyond criticism (or appreciation) of other people’s contributions. In that context, it’s fairly easy to understand her penchant for championing imaginary victims, since it’s the only way an irrelevant person like her can feign relevance. To truly have your “ah ha” moment in relation to how a woman like Joanna becomes such a font of sniveling weakness, however, one must seek out an image of her. OF COURSE Joanna lives in a world where imaginary injustices lurk around every corner….if a mess like that has no agency in her own life, how could anyone else? The plight of the imaginary victim would probably feel less compelling to Joanna if she put down her fork every once in a while, got control over her own life, and did something with it that actually matters. Save yourself, Joanna….stop using every opportunity to play faux champion on behalf of people who don’t need your help. Nobody asks a homeless person to feel sorry for them because they happen to live in a house in a state of ill-repair. No need to waste time looking for ways to feeling sorry for others, Joanna….they’re probably way too busy having legitimate reasons to feel sorry for you.

Steve—House of R Parrot—Ahlman - The Ringer Verse in general and House or R in particular exists on a weird spectrum of delivering good, thoughtful content and utterly just being a notch above phoning it in and seemingly too scared to tell the powers that be “hey, couldn’t produce something positive, going to focus my energies elsewhere”. Go listen to Derek Thompson—y’all aren’t doing yourselves favors dedicating time to this.

MAL & CHARLES ARE ANNOYING - i want to listen to a pod about the nerd things i enjoy, but its hard when of the hosts are unbearable. cant stand Mal’s over exaggerated enunciation, annoying giggling, & talking mph without saying anything of value. Charles on the other hand is a super hater who’s opinions always seem so holier than thou. like how can you always be on the opposite end of everything good? anytime dude says anything, he proves how much of a miserable hater he is. they need to pair those in one pod so i can skip that episode weekly.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 18:06:28 GMT

Wanted to like it, but I guess not for me - As a self-confessed geek and MCU fan, I tried to listen to your Villains draft. At ::, you FINALLY stopped talking about the rules and started the draft. There was nothing worthwhile before that. Maybe some fans turn out for the time-sucking silly repartee, but as a new listener it’s an awfully high bar to jump: minutes of talking about what you’re going to talk about.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 17:41:24 GMT

Great pod. Terrible editing. - For the past year especially, this podcast and others from The Ringer have had SO many editing issues, I’ve started to tune out. I love everyone on The Ringerverse and Prestige TV podcast in particular, but for god’s sake, every episode I listen to now has the following issues: cutting out midway through someone talking only to have it reverse seconds to the same segment, and cutting off the end of the pod altogether. …Why does this keep happening, and why has no one made any attempts to fix it after this long? I’m sooo sad because I love the deep dives and frank first impressions, but these edits ain’t it. Time to start finding somewhere else to get my dose of pop culture.

It’s a very comfortable laid-back podcast keep up the good work love to come and tune in every Tuesday.

Love it! - I grew up watching Laguna and the hills. this podcast is not just a amazing recap of the iconic Laguna episodes, it is a insightful discussion of Kristin and Stephen’s perspectives and reflections on the events that happened many years ago. Their reflections are very cool to hear and so relatable. I’m very impressed with them and how down to earth and funny they are. I was always a huge fan of Kristin— I love her outspoken personality. This is actually the first podcast I ever listened to regularly. Great work and it’s so cool to hear from you guys!
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 17:59:51 GMT

So fun, Stephen needs more guidance :) - Love this podcast. Kristin is so fun, she asks all the right questions, brings up everything people want to hear, and is brutally honest and open. I feel like questions are actually answered. Stephen is nice and cute and all. I absolutely agree with other reviews.. He can ramble on about boring things, it seems clear he isn't really owning up to the things he should be, he is still good at distracting from the actual evidence. He definitely seems to always have a thing for Kristin and wants to say whatever pleases her, even if it isn't all the way true. I'd like to see more transparancy from him, since Kristin has been totally transparent.

Mind boggling - Every week my then - teenage-self is blown away by all of these juicy details. I still remember talking to my friends during our freshman (hs) Spanish class about the episode that debuted the night before…. Not ashamed to admit this show was has been my not-so-guilty pleasure show to watch over the years. And of course, everything I thought I knew, CLEARLY wasn’t the case lol. Truly loving every minute reliving these memories!
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 02:21:12 GMT

Love it …BUT THE ADS ARE RIDICULOUS - The ads are ridiculous. You need to make the podcast longer if you’re going to have these insanely long ads every episode. Episode was LITERALLY - minutes of talking and mini of ads! INSANE. I know you want to make money but it’s ridiculous and greedy at this point. You need to lessen the number of ads or the length of each ad. Or increase the length of the podcast. DO BETTER.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 23:10:33 GMT

Love Stephen and Kristin: more recapping - Okay love the nostalgic element of this pod and having Kirstin and Steven back together also love the guests and hearing where they are all now. However Kristin is so much more real and I am soooo tired of Steven trying to defend and justify everything. Like yes I get it but if we took this from Stevens perspective, not a word uttered was real. Anyone also annoyed by him trying to be the good guy by constantly giving himself no bigger than a D rating? It’s not making you more likable!!

Good with major flaws - The content is well researched and the host has a good voice, but they can’t help themselves from going on long, drawn out narratives that they may think add to the tale, but really takes the listener out of the story. I’ve listened to a few and have found myself, at least once an episode, getting confused by the narrator’s train-of-thought tangents that are well-intentioned but fall flat. The end of the Bowie episode was a mess, the beginning of part of the Tupac episode with the Janet stuff was incredibly hard to follow, and on and on. The host should stick to researching and telling a story well. Leave out the over-artistic dramatizations of what’s happening; they don’t play well for podcasting and take away from the overall product.

This is the podcast to listen to! - I have been hooked on Jakes podcasts since I discovered them. His story telling is impeccable, I find myself hanging on every single word. Even if it is someone I have no interest in, he makes me utterly intrigued. I am blown away how much information he churns up about these artist, I couldn’t imagine how difficult it is to get this stuff. I cannot thank you Jake and the double Elvis team for all your hard work and the best podcast ever. I cannot wait for more!

Disgraceland Rocks!!!! - I discovered podcast by accident and I have been addicted to the series, binge listening to each and every episodes with headphones on. Its that good. As a result, I needed a bigger fix and I purchased the book Disgraceland. I read entire book in a sitting. It is well-written in a style that is captivating and vivid just like the podcast. If you have not listened to Disgraceland: I urge you to drop everything and listen to each and every episode, a true rewarding listening experience. Thanks Jake!!!!!

Binge listener alert!!! - This has to be one the most riveting podcasts I have ever listened to. It marries together my two favorite things…true crime and music knowledge. I play on a trivia team where my knowledge of all things pop culture and music gets called on regularly. This pod has come in so handy at trivia. I could listen to Jake all day long!! Keep ‘‘em coming and I will keep on bingeing!!!

AMAZEBALLS! - Mondays -my start to the work week, have always dragged until Lance and Turkey have graciously decided to make my morning commute fun. I love listening to this podcast every week and am learning all sorts of things about ’s boy bands I had never known. It feels like I’m right there in the conversation with Lance, Turkey, and the guest for the week. I feel like we’ve all become besties! Please continue this podcast until I retire many years from now, so I can keep enjoying an entertaining drive to work. Thanks so much for your effort in making every Monday enjoyable for me. Love, MB. P.S. - a show needs to be pitched to Bravo called “Real Boybands”, similar to Real Housewives. If Lance were to be cast in this show, what would his tagline be?
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 21:25:10 GMT

This is great - I think this is a great podcast, and I’m really glad someone from one of my favorite bands is hosting it. However…if JC Chasez comes back on, as a guest or a host, please…turn down his microphone. I could be wrong, but I think it was him guest hosting episode with Jonathan Knight as the guest…and I about crashed my car when JC yelled piercingly in to his microphone “Dorchester!” Please don’t yell in to the mic like that. If it was Jonathan that yelled that…turn down the guest’s mic. I couldn’t finish the episode because of how loud everyone was. But I’m really looking forward to who comes on next.

This yo Tween Girl ’s this pod! - I love this podcast so much. I was a tween in the ’s and loved all things ’s but I was SO in love with pop culture and boy bands. N’SYNC was by far my favorite (but I loved them all) and I get so much joy listening to this podcast each week. I love the behind stories and the evolution of all of the guests. I have all the nostalgia for these groups. My older sister (who passed in ) used to drive me and my friends to all of the shows and always had a knack for getting some sort of hook up or backstage adventure. We never met N’SYNC but it’s really fun to remember all of the shenanigans. I also love Lance and his husband! So fun to listen to them and hear about their parenting journey.

A Boy band lover MUST!!! - This podcast helps fulfills my boy band questions of “what are they doing now?” And “what happened to that group?” I love how Lance has his own platform to interview all of the boys who were wall papered to my bedroom walls back in the day! It helps with finding out the truth of so call rivals, how it actually all started/ended for them all, their families, and so much more. Love that it’s such a wide range of different boy band interviewing. I’m intrigued with all of their stories. Keep it coming. And don’t stop comparing their quiz answers from back in the day to today, it cracks me up remembering reading those things!

new catholic - growing up, I always believed there was a god I always believed in God, because my religious grandmother always talk to us about God. We were kids and felt like we had better stuff to do. Recently just three years ago she passed, and everything after that kind of just came very slowly. It’s been about six months since I started trying to reach out to the Lord I am currently on day nine of following your readings, and I’m very much resonating with job and how he feels because that’s exactly how I always felt and how I’ve been feeling lately. I’ve been trying to reach out to God, but I’ve always felt like I wasn’t good enough to be heard by him. But following your readings has made me feel like God is speaking back to me through these readings. I don’t feel alone anymore. I pray for everybody who is going through a difficult time and know that God hasn’t left your side. It’s taking me a while to except that God is with me no matter what. Amen.

Making my way through the Bible for the first time!!! - I feel ashamed saying this and calling my self s Christian but, this is my first time reading through the Bible from cover to cover! I love the way the Bible reading plan was laid out, keeping the plot in a continual succession, and reading prayers and words of wisdom (psalms)everyday, and closing with a reflection of mini sermon! Some of the days especially during the Old Testament there were references to Jewish culture or the language that didn’t quite come through on the translation, aspects that linguistic scholars would only know. Overall this has been great and a goal of ever day for a years breaks up the daunting task of reading the Bible with this podcast there is no excuse not to have read the Bible one, two, three…. Times. Can’t wait to start the catechism! Praying for you Father Mike, and Jeff! P.S. when can we get Bible in a year, in Spanish!?

Enthusiasm is Contagious - - I have learned so much this past year. Fr Mike’s excitement and enthusiasm about the Word of God is so uplifting! It makes me want to do the Bible in a Year . Thank you Fr Mike and Jeff C. - I am back for another year. this time I bought the Great Adventure Bible, and I am following along. My focus seems to be stronger this year. God’s blessings to all those following along with Fr Mike.

Great for Lent - I decided this year to listen to the Bible for Lent this year. Father Mike makes it easy and I am learning so many new things, even though I have read the Bible several times. Making me closer to God in many different ways. Reminds me of my blessings even when life is daily giving me new challenges. Thanks Father Mike. Thank you God for having this podcast land in my suggestions just in time for Lent.

Father Mike’s Bible in a Year: Truly Life Changing! - Father Mike takes listeners on a compelling journey that brings the Bible to life. He explains complex ideas and confusing elements in a way that makes them understandable and relatable. It is like having a personal tutor who is enthusiastic, sincere and makes learning fun! Most importantly, Father Mike emphasizes God’s enduring love for his people.

Lenten journey - I started on day as part of my Lenten journey. I listen every day - episodes, I hope to catch up by the end of lent. I am loving how much I am learning. I have tried once to read the Bible straight through, but reading the books together Genesis/Job; Exodus/Leviticus; Numbers/ Deuteronomy makes so much more sense. I’ve already encouraged some other friends and family to listen. I look forward to that rest of the year.

Can be life changing… if you let Him - This podcast can be life-changing! For real. Not because of Father Mike (Father Mike, I love you, dude!), not because of Ascension Press, not because you have a cool app that brings God’s Word right to your ears, but because through Bible In A Year, God is speaking into your heart, your mind, and your soul every day. Every single day. Just do it. You won’t be sorry. Promise!

Amazing and uplifting - I stumbled onto this after a year of my life being completely upended by becoming a long distance caretaker to my elderly parents then the subsequent death of my mother. My life was no longer my life, it belonged to them. I was searching for a Bible reading plan and found this. Fr Mike was literally sent to me by God. I listen to this every evening right before falling asleep. I’ve never read the Bible like this. The enthusiasm that Fr Mike brings is contagious and I look forward to each evening listening to his readings, prayers and discussion. I also bought the companion books to help reinforce what he has said. I can’t give enough praise. This has helped me come to terms with my mom’s death and my continued caretaking duties for my dad. And it has helped me understand why as Catholics, we do a lot of what we do. Something I did just because that’s how we do things rather than understand the reasoning behind it. Thank you, this podcast is a blessing and brings me closer to God each day.

Don’t wait - turn off everything else - It’s incredible. If you are on the fence about this, don’t be. This brings an all new understanding to the bible and why each of the sections of the bible are important. AND it helps relate that understanding to everyday life. This could be life changing for you. God wants you. Do you want him? It starts here! Father Mike is really easy to listen to and does a fantastic job with this. And I can’t believe its free!
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 14:42:49 GMT

Life changing - I have been listening for the Bible in year for more than a year and it has been life changing. I always thought that it was hard to finish the reading the Bible but this podcast made this possible. Also, the commentary from father Mike and Jeff Cavens is amazing and exciting to wait for and very informative. Also, being able to read the Bible I have been able to grow my faith more and get closer to Jesus. God bless you and keep going

Game changer - I am reading the Bible through in a year for only the second time, but doing it chronologically with the Bible Recap has brought it to life like never before! I am learning and growing with this. I am so excited to read everyday and then listen to the podcast for explanations of thing I might not have quite understood. And the “God shot” is encouraging me to look for God in what I am reading each day. Thank you - The Bible Recap is a game changer!
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 01:12:40 GMT

Love it! - I can’t say enough about how much I love this podcast! The daily Scripture is easy to accomplish, and the podcast helps me make sense of it all and see how it fits into the story line of the Bible. I’ve grown so much in my love for God and His Word. This is the first time I’ve been able to not only stick to a reading plan, but continually look forward to it every morning! (And I’m days in)
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 00:42:05 GMT

- I’ve never enjoyed to read anything for most of my life. Mainly because It was hard to understand what I just read at the pace of a snail. The Bible Recap is a game changer for understanding the word of God and I look forward to Bible Recapping every morning before starting my day. Reading the chapters for each day and then listening to the podcast while taking notes. TLC’s credibility of reading the Bible over times is noticed when realizing there’s no way I would have learned what I have, on my own. It’s obvious she is best buds with the Holy Spirit!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 20:40:47 GMT

I’m so thankful for TBR!!! - This podcast along with the chronological reading plan is truly a gift. I look forward to reading the Bible and can’t wait to learn more than I’ve ever learned before. With kids years old and younger, I’ve needed something to help me grow closer to God and encourage me. For years I’ve not known how to make the Bible a part of my daily life. For me, this is it! God is good and he is blessing a whole generation of people with TBR! God bless Tara Lee Cobble and all the people who make this podcast possible and point people to Christ!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 18:07:17 GMT

Reading the Bible in - I’ll confess, I started this study just reading the passages it said to everyday. One day (a month or so in) my friend told me I NEEDED to start listening to the podcast, too. I gave it a try that night after reading the scriptures assigned for that day, and I was HOOKED. I read the chapters, and then I go back in my Bible while listening to the podcast and take notes and make connections. It has changed my whole reading experience! I am much more excited to do my study each day and feel like I’m understanding better and getting more out of it. I’m so grateful to have this extra study tool to listen to to better understand the Bible and hear what God is saying to me through the passages.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 16:50:47 GMT

Hungry for God’s Word! - I have been a Christ follower from early childhood, but have never read through the whole Bible. I’ve always been intimidated especially by the O.T. books/content. However, since I started TBR plan, I can hardly wait for each day’s reading and TLC’s summary! Reading through the books chronologically with understanding from the Holy Spirit as well as Tara Lee’s support has made me hungry for more of God’s Word! Seeing Him and His Character on display, even through the harder chapters is such a blessing! Thank you so much to TBR team for all your hard work! May God’s name be glorified and the Kingdom of God grown through the ripples that go forth from those who are soaking in God’s Truth each day!

BEST way to consistently read your Bible - The Bible Recap podcast is the only Bible reading plan I have been able to stick to, and I look forward to it every day. It’s truly interesting and fun! TaraLeigh brings deeper understanding of what you’re reading in your Bible. She reveals new insights that make all of difference of better understanding God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. After I listen/read the day’s chapters with the YouVersion app, I listen to The Bible Recap podcast to better understand what I just read. Good to know: There is a free The Bible Recap daily Bible reading plan. The YouVersion app is helpful to hear how to pronounce all of the names. Highly recommend for you to try one episode to see how great this is.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:17:19 GMT

Bible Recap - I love the chronological order of reading through the Bible. It is a very concise synopsis of the chapter(s) read. I like that opinions or possible differences are identified. I sometimes don’t listen if something has already gotten my attention, so it’s nice that the today’s episode isn’t dependent on the previous day. It has been tricky putting their numbered days to a journal with calendar days but that doesn’t take away from the content. Not a fan of the content of the company that provides Bible videos, but watching the hand draw the pictures is fun. Five stars because it has kept me reading for three treads through the Bible.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:42:33 GMT

Amazing resource! - I started this plan in Oct of after a friend encouraged me to dig into the Word more due to my life circumstance. I had a newborn baby ( weeks old!) and my husband was deployed overseas. I was sad and lonely and searching for joy. I have listened every day since then (today marks days)!! I’m now on my second time through the Bible and the joy is overflowing! I’ve had “read through the Bible” on my New Year’s resolutions for years and this is the first plan that I stuck with! She has an amazing way of clarifying scripture that may be hard to understand and I’ve found myself yearning for more, and subscribing to more podcasts to dig in deeper to other areas. This has changed my life and I’m so thankful for this podcast!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:26:29 GMT

Brings so much extra insight into the scriptures! - I’ve read and listened to the Bible several times through, but many times have had lots of questions about what certain passages meant. Having the scriptures broken down & explained, especially with the difficult & super confusing texts has been amazing! I’m so thankful I had friends invite me on this journey through the Bible Recap! Everyone should go through this at least once, but I’m sure this won’t be my last time.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:10:05 GMT

Truly a God-send - This podcast is so helpful and so needed. The insight that the host draws out of sometimes confusing or tedious scripture (not from her own opinion) point to God’s character and who He is. She adds teaching about the culture of the time in reference to the scriptures, which is a game changer. She draws connections to other parts of the Bible and underlying, repeated themes that I don’t think I’d recognize on my own. The podcast actually makes me want to read my Bible!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:08:51 GMT

I love The Bible Recap! - This podcast was a game changer for me in my life. It has helped me set up great habits and connect with God in a way I never thought possible. I have always wanted to read the Bible, but always start and quit cause I don’t understand or get discouraged cause I fall behind on reading plans. Not this year! I am so happy to have found this podcast to help me in my journey to read my bible!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 12:13:00 GMT

Perfect early morning routine! - This is the second year I am reading through the Bible, but the first year on the Bible Recap plan. I was a little wary of the fact that reading is required daily with no weekend breaks, but so far I haven’t missed a morning with TLC and it has turned out to be even better doing it daily. Thank you for the reasonable lengths of the reading and the podcast episodes and for the great insights in helping me understand. I am loving it!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 12:10:51 GMT

Love how this program is laid out and delivered - I’ve always wanted to read through the Bible, but felt very intimidated in my lack of understanding of biblical law and some stories. Tara-Leigh actually walks you through each day what is going on with such accurate descriptions and correlated videos that I actually feel I understand and retain better than I ever have the stories that I’ve been hearing my whole life. So thankful for this amazing podcast!!

Ready to Grow - After years of listening to the Bible in the Year with Father Mike - I am looking forward to walk through the catechism He has a great way of explaining the concepts Already with the pre launch sessions I am excited for the guest speakers and experts that will support the podcast I have grown leaps and bounds thanks to Father Mike”s podcasts and talks and think the catechism will help take me to a whole new level
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:05:59 GMT

Episode question - I am learning a lot from following catechism in the year. However, this episode referred to the presentation in the temple. I recently heard a meditation that said the offering of the turtle doves was for Mary’s purification. The meditation said that they did not offer the lamb for their first born, Jesus, because Jesus himself would be the Lamb that was sacrificed. This is different than what Father Mike said. I wonder where I am misunderstanding the actual happenings during the presentation.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 20:03:09 GMT

What a time to be alive! - Father Mike, I cannot thank you enough for this series. I entered the Church from a background of Protestant faith years ago this Easter, and my wife and I listen to this around the house, in the car with our kids, at work, and all around. As other members of my broader family move towards the Catholic faith and often come to us with questions, it is such a blessing to have your words and the words of the Catechism always fresh in our minds. What a time to be alive, when anyone can hear such great teaching at no cost but a few minutes of attention! God bless you, Father, and everyone at Ascension, and know that you are daily in our prayers. May Our Holy Mother and St. Joseph give you insight and peace, even as they were called upon to raise and instruct Our Lord in the truths of faith; and may His Sacred Heart consume you and fill you with His undying love. In Christ, Daniel

Treasure - Listening to this Catechism in a year is like finding that treasure that makes me rich for a lifetime. It’s just getting better and better every single day. It’s the truth that cannot be hidden. I share it with my family and friends, even my non Catholic friend listens to it. Thank God for the Ascension team, to Fr. Mike and Jeff Cavins for their voices and wisdom to bring truth about God easily accessible to all the people in the world. May God bless us all.

Gift to this Catechist - Fr. Mike, As I finish Day , I am pleased with the way my heart is growing closer to Jesus by learning more about him. This is the only New Year’s Resolution I have stuck with and it is definitely the most important one. For nothing can be more important that making our souls shiny and read to grow in relationship with the LORD. I teach MS Edge at my parish this year, after taking a year break, and what I have learned is helping me pass on the faith in a new and exciting way. And not only with my Edge kids but also my daughters and husband. Thank you for your efforts and time to draw this community closer to the LORD.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 02:33:25 GMT

Life Changing - The CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church) was an important part of my faith formation when I became Catholic years ago. When I journeyed through RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) the CCC was foundational and intriguing. I couldn’t get enough. Father Mike brings the heat with this epic podcast that has brought everything I’ve learned in the past years full circle and I’m now reading along in my own CCC to gain a deeper understanding of our Catholic faith. Eternally grateful. Life changing.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 23:53:21 GMT

Most Edifying Podcast - Although we are not in the Catholic Church my husband and I have been edified and blessed in a way that words cannot express by the teaching of Father Mike in this podcast. Our understanding of Church doctrine has grown and expanded in all areas of our faith and practice. We started this journey with Father Mike and all the community of pilgrims and are excited to see the full breadth of it in the end!
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 14:59:11 GMT

This podcast is an essential part of my daily routine. - This podcast is a blessing. The Catechism is a source of such profound, powerful, positive and beautiful teaching, even when what it teaches challenges me - my beliefs and behaviors - it speaks truth so clearly out of true love for me and for all mankind. Plus, Fr. Mike you are doing an outstanding job of reading and giving context, making connections and most of all being that human voice for the truth and love you are sharing with us. I will be with you all days and then I’ll listen to it all over again. Just like I have done with Bible in a Year. Some things cannot be read or listened to too often or too much. Thank you and God bless you and keep you safe from all evil. Lillian, Oregon, USA

Whew! Felt that! - I have been following Brittany for a few months! I found her on IG by chance, well by no chance at all! I have been moved so many times and so inspired by her story! Thank you Jesus he takes our story and uses it for His glory! They say the thief /enemy doesn’t try and steal/rob from an empty house!! DON’T STOP doing what you’re doing! These negative comments won’t stop a thing God is doing through you/this podcast! I am SO excited to listen to this podcast! I will not miss an episode!!!
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 05:36:13 GMT

God is USING Brittany! - God is speaking to me, and obviously others, through Brittany’s words! Trials can be so hard to walk through, but they can chisel you into the person God wants you to be! Sometimes out of the hardest things in your life, comes the most BEAUTIFUL! Way to go Brittany! Being brave & bold is hard, but the result of even impacting one person for the Kingdom of God, is an impact on eternity!

Do better, Brittany. - Ignoring the fact that this is a boring, poorly produced podcast, Brittany Dawn is a known scammer, grifter, and con artist. Go ahead, google her name. She is currently being sued by the state of Texas for unethical business practices. She has stolen money from hundreds of women. For her to claim she’s a good Christian is laughable. If you think you’re a good Christian, you should not be consuming this content. She has also bribed her followers with rewards if they leave her a review, which is against the Terms of Service according to Apple. Do better, Brittany.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 03:28:51 GMT

False Prophet - Someone who always “does right” by God while defrauding people (allegedly to the tune of $.M) and lying is not the best person to look towards for spiritual guidance. Brittany (allegedly) rips people off (according to the State of Texas lawsuit), she has never repented or refunded money for the services these victims paid for (according to the charges against her). Just block and grift. It’s hard to take someone seriously who refuses to hold herself accountable for her actions and the harm she’s caused others. And her husband? A disgraced, former policeman who was caught on camera severely injuring a handcuffed and unarmed black man. Really, folks…these are the kinds of people you want to support? Find a better podcaster. You can get real spiritual guidance from someone who “walks the walk”. Brittany is not that person.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 02:36:54 GMT

The IRONY - The irony that she is being sued by the state of Texas for scamming hundreds of vulnerable women (me being one of them) and is offering a painted bible and a gift card, only if you leave a star review - which totally violates Apple’s Terms and Conditions. She’s also continuing to take money from vulnerable women by hosting these expensive Christian retreats. She will literally never change and never learn which is so disappointing.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:39:51 GMT

Wow!! - I have been following you and you’re story FOREVER and the growing I have seen in you has inspired me to grow right along side you! I am so excited for this podcast and I can’t wait to keep listening to all of it!! I am in a growing season right now and wow this podcast is what I needed! Also I am so sorry about the trolls posting “reviews”, especially the “Christians”. I love you and I love watching your story and being apart of it. Glory to God the most high!

Very boring and she lies about her lawsuit. - I found the content to be excruciatingly boring. Full of Christian buzzwords and very fake sounding. After doing some research, she lied about several things about her relationship and her law suit. It’s all online and it’s all legitimate proof. Please do your research before consuming content from horrible people. She just wants to lead people to pay $ for her “Christian” retreats and buy from her Amazon store front. Be careful who you let pray for you. She is also currently being sued by the state of Texas and I found it disturbing how she doesn’t show any empathy for the victims of her crimes.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 16:08:54 GMT

Disregard any bad reviews based on her past BEFORE CHRIST! - These reviews should solely be based on her current content, current life, current podcast, current thoughts and beliefs and stories. Any bad ratings from the trolls who “knew her” before Christ should be completely disregarded! This podcast is her life after Christ. That “old person” that people are judging is gone! Just listened to the first two episodes and can’t wait to hear more!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:12:40 GMT

You still have to follow the law even if Jesus forgives - You continue to not apologize or refund those you scammed from your time as a fitness influencer. I hope you genuinely take this time with the trial and being sued by the Texas AG to think about how actions do have consequences no matter how much Jesus forgives. We still have to abide by the law. Christians are not above it, and I hope you get the justice you deserve for the money, time and health you took from those you scammed.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:45:44 GMT

Another day, another scam - For my fellow Christian women out there, please do a little research into this person. Yes, we all make mistakes (don’t I know it!!) and God is so good to forgive us, BUT you actually have to make good on those mistakes. There’s are hundreds, if not thousands, of women out there who have not received a FULL refund from this woman. So please don’t contribute to her income by following her social media or listening to this. Rather than paying back all the people she scammed in full, she is loving a lavish lifestyle funded by the people she scammed. That’s not okay.

I love this podcast because I was so afraid of everything, but then I just got out of that bubble.Also I watch when I was young I watch Duck Dynasty, and I said to the young Sadie I said,”I want to met you.” And PLEASE shout out to MaddieRoseJohnson.THANK YOU

Just what I needed - Sadie, It’s going to be hard to tell you just how impactful your podcast has been in my life, just in this little review, but I really want you to know that everything that you say and everything that your guests say have impacted me in some way. Even if it’s something that I can’t relate to in the season of life that I’m in at that moment, I hold onto it to help me with something that I struggled with in the past, or know that it will be helpful to remember in the future. But honestly, most of the time it’s always just what I needed to hear right in that moment. God is so incredible how He works like that, and I’m so thankful that He lead me to your podcast, because I’ve been able to personally grow in my faith and walk with God, because of seeing how God is radiating from you and working in you! It’s so encouraging and I’m very grateful for you and for what God is doing in your life. I know we may never meet, and it’s kind of funny to think that I feel so connected to you when you’ve never met me, but I want you to know that through your podcast and your love for God, you’ve gotten another friend and sister in Christ. :) Thank you for everything you’re doing, I pray that God blesses you and your beautiful family beyond measure! Love, Sarah

Hard - I really like Sadie Robertson, but tbh it is hard for me to comprehend what she is saying sometimes. Not her voice or her accent, (so cute!) but what she is saying. I have been a Christian my whole life and I am only so that could be part of it. I feel like I just need more solid, simple facts to understand and live by. She also always has a guest on with a “wow moment” faith story that brings them to God. Most of us haven’t had that and we need something else to help us climb. Love the episodes with Christian on it!! They are so cute together.

Sadie is changing lives! - Sadie! Girl you are such a light. The lord has gifted you so powerfully with wisdom and with a heart that desires to impact this generation. Your podcasts are always so encouraging to me and your words are always timely. I pray for God’s grace to continue to be your potion, and may your heart always remain hungry for more of the Lord. You are such a light. I pray for you to by God’s grace make it to heaven. You are a blessing!

Question - Could the calming of the sea and lack of faith that Jesus accuses them of be about the fact that the disciples waited till the very last minute and then accused Jesus of not caring about them when they never asked Him for help when it first started to get bad. Would that apply to us a little better if not asking for help in our daily prayers but then when things become too much to overcome become angry with the Lord in that he must not care about us.

Best Come Follow Me Resource - I have loved this podcast from its inception. Hank and John are amazing on their own, but add in the incredible guests, and there is just nothing like it!! I listen every week at least once and often read the show notes. I have taught Gospel Doctrine for years, and feel like I am just beginning to understand the material thanks to this exceptional podcast!! Well done! Please don’t ever stop!!!

Great Combination of Testimony and Scholarship - The hosts, Hank Smith and John Bytheway, offer their testimonies combined with well-developed scholarship regarding gospel principles found in the New Testament. Their weekly guests also offer the same. This combination of testimonies and scholarship opens the scriptures to deep understanding. I enjoy the weekly podcasts. My spirit is fed along with my intellect. I feel a renewed determination to follow Him after each podcast. Thanks for your dedication in organizing and presenting these podcasts.

Love it! - I love this podcast and the insights these scholars bring about the scriptures and Christ! I definitely feel like I learn and understand more as I read the scriptures and listen to this podcast! I look forward to it each week! I especially loved the episode by sister Anderson a few weeks ago! Wow, I went back and read the transcript! It was so great! Everyone should be required to listen to it! Bro Baron you had on last year was my religion professor at byui and I loved hearing from him! Keep up the excellent work!

Uplifting and Edifying - I absolutely love this podcast. The hosts and the guests are all so wonderful and I have learned so much. But more importantly, I have felt the love of our Savior and our Father in Heaven through these episodes in many profound ways. They have lifted me in some of my darkest moments and have helped strengthen my faith and my testimony. You are doing incredible work. Thank you thank you thank you.

A powerful tool - From day one of this podcast, I have listened with complete love and appreciation for these faithful scholars who share their knowledge. I have learned so much. My only advice to the other listeners, maybe to you young listeners, is to learn from my own mistake. At first, I mistakenly use this podcast as a substitute for my own scripture study. I thought if I listened to this, then I would receive a testimony and greater knowledge via osmosis. Basically minimal effort with maximum results. It wasn’t until this year of my Come Follow Me journey that I would first read through all of the scriptures chapters, study them, make my own notes, and then listen to this podcast afterwards. Please be better than me. Do not mistake this informative and faith building podcast as a substitute to your own scripture scholarship. To quote Preseident Nelson, “The Lord loves effort!”

Best of the best - Wow, just wow. The number of CFM podcasts available is never ending. I feel like I’ve listened to them all but never felt “full” after listening to any of them. This podcast encapsulates everything I was looking for in a weekly study help. Other podcasts I listen to seem like they’re just trying to be funny or relatable, telling story after story, joke after joke… I’m left asking “When are you going to give me some facts?! Give me some knowledge! Break it down for me!” I feel like I get the best of both worlds here. I laugh, I cry, I enjoy some story telling, but it’s full of knowledge and scriptural insights that help me feel nourished and full of Gods word. Thank you thank you for your efforts in creating this resource. I look forward to it every week and have learned to always have my scriptures opened while listening as opposed to passively listening to it because I’m afraid I’ll miss something that I’d like to mark forever in my scriptures.

Facts and Faith for CFM - I am surprised weekly at the knowledge and information shared. John Bytheway and Hank Smith do an exceptional job as co-hosts. They bring the perfect guest host-each week who seems to have the most amazing education and experience. The podcast makes Come Follow Me curriculum come alive. I’m grateful for the entire crew that makes this happen. People with so much knowledge and education willing to bear testimony to the Savior and their faith is always the perfect way to end. Thank you!!!

Finding Deeper Understanding - If you want to go deeper into having a greater understanding of the history, geography, definitions, meanings & background of what takes place in scripture, this is the place to do it. Every single time I tune in to the podcast I feel enlightened and enriched in my understanding of scripture and the Doctrine of Christ. The guests always add an intellectual layer of knowledge and clarity and depth that helps me to ask bigger questions and seek personal revelation on my own. Hank and John are like the nicest, fun uncles you could have! I love how gentle and reflective they are in sharing their experiences and testimonies. I also appreciate the way John and Hank leave space for guests to do “their thing”. Just want to express my gratitude to Sister Sorenson as well. Thank you, what you are doing matters a great deal. This work is very inspired.

Bible Study made Engaging - First … where do they find the seeming endless parade of fascinating and entertaining guests? So interesting to hear the variety of perspectives with each week’s lesson. Found this podcast invaluable in making it through, and learning to love, the Old Testament. Look forward to the same experience with our study this year of the New Testament. Keep up the great and blessed work, gentlemen. Followup: enjoying the study of the New Testament this year just as much as last year’s Old Testament study. My weekly must-listen. Thanks again!

Sigh…. - As a seasoned banker working in two GSIBs for the past twenty years….it’s painful to listen to David Sacks. He doesn’t understand the banking system at all yet he talked about it as if he were an expert. So wrong on so many fundamental aspects of the current banking crisis. I love(d) the podcast for its insight into the tech investment world but for now I have to spend my time elsewhere. Hope they turn around.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 23:03:12 GMT

One star for their SVB coverage - I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with this podcast but have often found each of the hosts insightful within their own areas of expertise. I regret to say that they completely lost me with their coverage of the SVB collapse. The incredible lack of understanding of the banking sector, particularly by David Sacks, was painful to listen to and flat out incorrect on numerous occasions. This has me wondering how many other things they have presented as fact that were incorrect but I was unaware because I was less knowledgeable about that industry. I was also shocked by their apparent lack of familiarity with the solutions available that automatically help individuals and businesses sweep cash to numerous banks to extend FDIC coverage well above the $k threshold. That risk was easily avoidable if VCs and their portfolio companies understood the risk they were taking in the first place. On the whole, I found their discussions (both via the podcast and on Twitter) to be more harmful than helpful and plan to pause my listening as a result.

Great Team … but Jason Needs Steel Man - Love the show, the topics, the insights, the banter, and most importantly - the honesty. Jason is a great host, but occasionally lapses into “talking points” instead of honesty. Chamath, Sacks, and Friedberg stick to facts and “steel man” their arguments, which is fantastic, I’ve learned a lot from this concept. Jason occasionally, when losing an argument, uses bluster and talking points and twisting words to “win”, which is intellectually dishonest and drags down the show. Otherwise, I love all the guys and their insights.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 22:02:37 GMT

Panel needs a woman - This is an important show however it lacks diversity. I would relate to it more if there was a woman on the panel, as a young woman in finance. They refer to companies, boards and investors as “the guys” more often than not. The panel love to hate the woke for being hypocritical - so be an example, guys. Further, this show would be more accessible to a diverse audience if they explained concepts and jargon more often. Or even an episode to break down some of the things they see as basic.

Entertaining - but unsure of fiction/fact line - stars for an entertaining podcast and looking forward to season which promises to be good. I just had to take star off. This shouldn't stop anyone from listening but I would have prefered a more direct explanation of the changes between the real daughter's story and what is in the cast. Facts seem to blur with fiction - Daughter it appears went to college and didn't flee on graduation day as stated. Fiction podcasts are OK, but just be up front. That said, hey it's a good listen.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 19:26:47 GMT

Lots of Cringing - Overall, I'm enjoying this show quite a bit, and I'm learning a lot about a culture I didn't know existed anymore—or hadn't even thought about existing anymore. Right now, I'm in the middle of E ("Comfort Offensive"), and I'm afraid to keep listening to the episode. The narrator's daughter is coming home for Christmas—her first visit since she ran away to hobo—and all the narrator-mom can think is how to "make" her daughter stay home. How? Well, she's making the home EXACTLY the way it was when her daughter ran away, but more so. Um... Anyway, I'll probably listen to the rest of the episode sometime. But I sure wish I could have a long talk with the mom beforehand about codependency and staying on her side of the street.

Surprisingly Great!!! - I listen to podcasts every day, this is the first review I have ever written. Danielle was a great story teller. It actually took me two times trying to listen to this podcast before it actually took me over and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I am not train rider but i did live a wild life for nearly decades. That affected my relationship with everyone. I felt the connection between Ruby and Danielle was similar to me and my mother. It was painful and beautiful at the same time. I introduced my mom to this podcast so she could experience it too. Thank you for this walk down memory lane and opening my eyes to a world I knew nothing about. I can’t wait for Season !!!

Fascinating secret world right in front of everyone! - This fantastic podcast is a window into the mysterious (and sometimes just unnoticed) world in everyone’s backyard; -as the rails are always near no matter where you are in the country. I’ve actually met these types of modern hobos in person before, without having known anything about the immense scope of their secret world. They were calling themselves “gutter punks” and stopping in Philly to panhandle while on their way South to Florida for the winter. With this podcast I too can swing aboard… but from the safety of my earphones as I binge-listen while doing the dishes. The only other media even close to covering this narrative was a while back in Juxtapose magazine with an article about that hobo photographer referenced in this podcast … and another article there on the “Rockaway Armada” led by the artist “Swoon” in which a group of these rail-traveler-artists built sculptural houseboats from salvaged debris and floated them down the length of the Mississippi.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 01:20:58 GMT

Thoughtful, Surprising Story - Definitely wasn’t expecting to be drawn in by a story about the railroads, but really found myself invested in the personal story mixed with the connections to society and the world today. The end stretch of the show in particular is really great, Ep and had me tearing up with the stories of some others who’ve been on the rails. Carefully crafted, beautifully produced, and a powerfully moving story about a parent hoping her child is ok. Highly recommend!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 16:55:42 GMT

A fascinating journey - What a riveting tale of how this mother and journalist handles the shocking departure of her daughter who has chosen to live a hobo’s life on the rails. Danelle Morton’s choices as a mother who is seemingly left behind are so open-minded and generous, it is amazing. She uses her reporting and research skills to investigate the life her adult child has chosen and discovers a very complex world. At the same time, she has to cope with the worry, frustration and concern over her daughters well-being and safety. This is On the Road as a documentary in a new millennium.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 15:00:21 GMT

Incredible and surprising listen! - I can't recommend this enough. I wasn't sure what I was getting into but it's an incredibly researched and produced story not only about the railroad and people who hop trains but also, really, about parenting. It's a beautiful parenting story that despite feeling like a unique set-up -- a daughter leaves her life to live on the rails -- feels so relatable as a parent. Highly highly recommend.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 15:25:06 GMT

Problematic journalistic choice… - I’d been loving this show until I learned that the much of the story about “Ruby” (not her daughter’s real name) is basically fabricated. And so I guess it makes sense that we haven’t heard anything from her daughter directly throughout. I’ll keep listening, but definitely disappointed about this misleading spin. Makes it hard for me to trust the rest of the content in the show. Edited: Downrated from to stars. A compelling narrative and research, but the more I think about it, the angrier I am that the “Ruby” story is a fabrication. Not to mention claiming that the kids who died in New Orleans were Ruby’s friends. That really crosses a line - I listened to a year old interview on NPR with Danelle and her actual daughter Marissa about this fire and they do not claim at the time to have known the people who died.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 20:08:25 GMT

Confused to where the daughter’s music is - I guess the journalist has a daughter named Marissa Spoer that wrote Santa Monica and Windowsill. She was a traveler, so I guess Ruby is probably a mix of truth and fiction. But the podcast said her or whatever band she was in released a CD on a label. Can you list a link to this somewhere? I only found Windowsill. I would like to hear more. I hope the Ruby story isn’t mostly fiction because it’s compelling.
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 20:15:02 GMT

I didn’t know this world still existed - This is a great podcast for so many reasons. Danelle’s story, her daughter’s story, the people who choose to live beyond the edge of society; this story humanizes all of this. It’s informative about the whole world of the rail industry, everything you would never think to ask or even wonder about. Danelle I can’t thank you enough for telling your’s and Ruby’s story (and for introducing us to her music)
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 01:07:15 GMT

Please identify musicians and post show notes! - Excellent in many ways! Listen. Some things could make it even better— I hope they will develop better show notes, with clarity regarding creative choices, and information for listeners regarding the names of contributing artists —including that of routinely played intro song and the song by “Ruby” or an explanation for the anonymity- is it a choice? What kind of choice? And what is her role in this show? Meanwhile, this is uniquely good, and you should listen.

This was SO helpful!!!! - I never use points for anything. The only credit card I have accrues money for my kids’ college fund. But now that they are bigger and the college fund has reached its cap, I would love to start collecting points so that I can travel more. I tried to understand the process by reading posts on Facebook groups and online info… and I quickly became overwhelmed and gave up. Then I found this podcast. The first three episodes have been so helpful in clarifying so many of the concepts that I didn’t really understand before. I can’t wait for more episodes, because now I’m ready to get more credit cards and start working with points!!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:11:29 GMT

Not just for beginners! - I thought I was fairly savvy on the use of rewards points for booking travel but it turns out there is so much more to learn! The first couple episodes of the podcast were fairly basic but when it started to get into what mistakes to avoid…well I have been making some mistakes and can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to maximize our travel potential. Added bonus, Dr. Gimbel has a lovely speaking voice that makes me feel like she’s on my side. Can’t wait for more episodes!

Oh the Possibilities - Point me to First Class is the podcast I’ve been looking for to help me leverage my expenses and turn them into ways that help me procure the travel I used to think was only in my dreams. You don’t have to be a millionaire to travel in luxury. With a little know how and guidance from Devon Gimbel I am on my way to hacking into the best vacations and creating memories for myself and my family.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:32:15 GMT

Amazing, Life-Changing Travel on Points - We already love you, Devon. You’re a doc, a mom, a wife, a travel lover. You do it all with such grace! Thrilled for you sharing your passion and teaching your skills. After joining your group about a year ago, went biz class for the first time. And now, I travel BETTER, in more LUXURY, more OFTEN, for CHEAPER than I ever have. Paying quarterly taxes is now an odd joy! And as I have mentioned, my financial planner loves that I now have more money for retirement and investments with all that I save on travel. It feels like a dream. I (and my p) are so grateful for your guidance. We take a little piece of you every time we are wheels up! XO

Capitalize on your expenses! Devon will teach you how! - Devon is an excellent educator and has spent a good deal of time figuring out the complicated world of reward credit cards and how to maximize their benefits. She has a teaching style that is clear and concise, and the production quality for the podcast is excellent. If you want to learn about how to turn your expenses (ie your credit card points) into travel rewards, this is the place for you!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 17:31:26 GMT

Soooo helpful! Must listen if you want to see your points and expenses as assets - I’m not a points guru- far from …. For years I paid a reward credit card and barely used it. This podcast has helped me so much in such a short time. I was able to book tickets for a recent vacation to the Caribbean with my two kids and upgrade our tickets. I wasn’t thinking of getting my toddler a ticket but with points- yes! Much more comfortable flight experience . This podcast is empowering and D knows what she is taking about - your expenses are an asset too- used them and leverage them!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:53:47 GMT

First class Me Please - Just what I have been looking for…I have been a debit card user for years and finally started using my credit card for expenses but didn’t know how to capitalize on that process. This podcast is the answer. I grabbed a pen and took notes and then invited my husband to listen so we’d be in the same page. Dr. Gimbel I hope that me and my husband will change the “face” of first class. Thank you so much!

The Podcast You Didn’t Know You Needed But Can’t Live Without - Wildly entertaining and personal. With over produced, celebrity filled podcasts flooding the market, it’s refreshing to listen to something so fun and raw! But that’s not the best part. After listening to In A Minute, I always leave smarter and lighter as it’s just a good time :) Highly recommend this podcast and all things In a Minute w/Evan Lovett. I can see this turning into a TV show or even longer format production. Great job!

A MUST for Non-native Angelenos who aspire to be - LA was always my dream city since I was a teenager. Not exactly sure how it began but somewhere between and Melrose Place I got a serious crush on LA. But being very much born and raised on the east coast, it only lived in my mind as the stereotypical dreamscape. As I got older, the dream of moving to LA became less of an option due to some life choices that kept me rooted in the DMV. However, after a much needed divorce, I headed to the west coast with my dog and my car loaded. Finally taking that leap which I had dreamed about in my early s. - better late than never. So what was surprising to me was that LA isn’t what you think it is from the hype and the hate it is so famous for. I literally have people say “I’m sorry” when I tell then I moved to LA and it always puts me on the defensive because in my mind LA has always been the best city in the US. After moving up and down the CA map (LA to SD to Bay Area and back to LA in ), I am still feeling the love for this city of angels but my friends in SD and the Bay Area seem always to have shade. So this is why I appreciate your content so much. I started with Instagram and you had only a few thousand followers and I shared your content so many times… it’s a love letter to the city of Los Angeles and I am fully in love. Your content is just what this city needs and shout it from the rooftops - LA is a GREAT city and haters are gonna hate us cuz they ain’t us.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 19:36:13 GMT

Great! - Your podcast and LA In A Minute segments are great. I have told friends about it, even my out of state friends. Many of my out of friends are transplants from Los Angeles. Most had to leave due to work requirements. All that have listened in get home sick after watching and listening to you. All of us have learned a lot of history. Being a closet history buff it is very enlightening. I just listen to your latest podcast. If I remember correctly the columns were the letter grade, work habits, and cooperation. I always like getting a B-U-S. My parents weren’t pleased. Keep up the great work.

Part of the family - After this last episode, you realize we’re family now, right ? People are staring at the fat guy on the treadmill crying. Not a great moment for me, but i don’t care. Thank you for sharing those voicemails and their stories. Have an eerily similar experience, it hits hard…. All the best to you and your family. You guys ever make the road trip to Portland Oregon, you’ve got a spot at the dinner table and a tour guide. My wife and I met in Burbank and finding your IG and now podcast has been a great. Thanks Doug

So great! - I was already loving Evan’s LA in a Minute videos so I was happy to hear that there was a podcast. Born and raised here and I get so annoyed that people outside of LA only see the superficial and don’t realize how interesting and culturally rich LA is. I’m so glad that Evan brings all of this to the world. The podcast is wonderful. I’ve listened to the first two episodes and love Evan’s storytelling and engaging personality. Can’t wait to hear more!

LA IN A MINUTE IS A LEGEND! - My dude Evan aka LA IN A MINUTE is a much needed crusader for the greatest city in the world (Los Angeles) and he must be protected AT ALL COSTS! His video series are amazing and I’m loving the audio version. The city of LA needed some light shown on its history and it’s contribution to the human race and and what it meant to the fabric of modern society. I’m glad the city has him as a voice. Always love running into him randomly in these LA streets and looking forward to the collab. Loving the podcast my dude and keep the vibes going my dude! (You should know who this is by now) haha!

Honest and Helpful Disney Planning Podcast - I’m so glad I found this entertaining and helpful podcast when I was planning my first trip to WDW last Fall. Now I’m planning our first Disneyland trip for this summer. It’s nice that they cover both coasts, as well as Aulani and DCL from time to time. It was also fun to find out that Dan & Leslie lived in the area I do before they moved to Orlando. I’ve gotten so many great tips and reviews, and ideas for future Disney trips. I appreciate the quality of the podcast, as well as their honest opinions, and openness. I love to catch Dan and Leslie’s dining reviews and trip footage on YouTube too.

Best Disney podcast there is! - Hi Dan & Leslie! I wanted to say that I absolutely love this podcast. Not only is there excellent Disney advice but the banter is great and I truly enjoy my time listening to each episode! I’m an avid Disney lover and visit Disney World multiple times a year and I still learn a lot about the parks from Dan & Leslie’s experiences. You’ve got a fan in me, keep these episodes coming! I hope to meet you two one day in the parks!

My favorite podcast!! - I rarely leave reviews but I just had to for Dan and Leslie! This is by far the most helpful, realistic, positive Disney podcast I’ve found, and I’ve tried ALL of them. I listened to ATM religiously for the months leading up to my first Disney world trip the end of February, and I genuinely had the best trip possible because I was so prepared and excited. I will definitely be using their travel agency in the future as I look at planning more trips because you can just tell they are the most caring, kind people!

Pure personality and enthusiasm - Podcasts thrive on personality, and this podcast has it in spades. The two hosts really love Disney, which is it’s main charm. Every incremental improvement at the Disney parks are covered like a must-see blockbuster, but it’s all in fun, and who can blame them for staking their fortune on something so many love so deeply? I have listened weekly for six months now, and the only thing that’s missing is coverage of Disney’s history, design aesthetic, personalities, and social context. Does that lack matter, really? Probably not, but the reason behind Disney’s years of relevancy is the serious artistic creative underpinnings that anchor it’s pop culture entertainment in fine art. Without that sensibility the Disney company would have ceased being relevant years ago. The good news is there are other podcasts that cover that aspect of Disney. Their infectious enthusiasm, professionalism, and thoroughness in covering what makes Disney fun brings me back to listen week after week.

CM review - I love listening to Addicted to the Mouse. I’m currently a cast member at Disney’s Reservation Center. Daily I get first time guest trying to plan their vacations asking what are the “must do’s”. Obviously there’s so much to do at Disney World, so I give them my quick favorites and then recommend they search Addicted to the Mouse podcast for more ideas. Listening to Dan and Leslie has given me great insight to planning my personal vacations as well as assisting guest who call. Thank you Dan and Leslie for what you guys do. You guys make Disney easy.

Genuine, Helpful, and Inspiring! - Dan and Leslie seem to be the genuine article! My family loves to listen to this podcast and watch their videos. They seem to be genuinely kind people who care about others and want them to have the best Disney, Universal, etc. experiences possible. I love that the content is always family-friendly and that they are honest with their reviews of restaurants, events, merchandise, etc. How inspiring are Dan and Leslie? Well, our family of four is following their incredibly helpful tips and planning a move to the Orlando area to live out our dreams near the magic as they did! Thank you for being you!

My happy place when I’m not at my happy place - Being a Massachusetts resident and only getting to go one Disney trip every year, Dan and Leslie have become my happy place in the meantime. Out of every Disney podcast I have listened to, this is my favorite. Your New Years episode about what Disney means to you was my favorite. I’m an only parent and Disney has always been my year old daughter and I’s special thing. So we connected to that episode so much. Dan and Leslie feel I like family members to us and are household names for my daughter and I! We hope to meet you in the parks someday soon. We have an upcoming cruise out of NYC in October on the Dream and going back to wdw in July. Definitely using some of your restaurant reviews to try some new things this trip! We especially love the recent Disneyland and Aulani episodes. Both are on our bucket list! We would LOVE to hear some episodes on Hilton Head and Vero Beach resorts! Maybe add to your list after your view renewal cruise in Alaska! Thanks for bringing the magic to our everyday lives. It keeps us joyful Love Courtney

Hooked on Addicted to the Mouse! - My family and I are planning our first WDW trip for June . My wife and I have been scouring through countless TikTok, Facebook and YouTube videos; trying to prepare for the trip. I’ve joined many Facebook groups dedicated to WDW as well. This is all to say, I truly am grateful to have found your podcast. The two of you are a delight. I feel as if I have been welcomed into your home as you relate your experiences to your listeners. Your podcast, I feel is very objective, but I love how you add your flare and spin on your reviews as well. You always try to remind people that this is your experience and that experiences can change from day to day. Dan is very thoughtful in his production planning and Leslie’s ability to ad lib always pulls me right into the room with you. I have been listening to various Disney park podcasts and not a single one makes me feel as welcomed and warm as does yours. I find that your life experiences enable you to be very detailed while also very relatable. I would also like to add that I am a music teacher and have worked in live productions and music studios. I actually love to listen to talk radio or podcasts in the car while driving to work because it calms me. Music can be too much of a distraction for me at times. This is to say that the technical aspect of your podcast and YouTube videos are produced with very high quality. Even your live, in park episodes are done well. In fact, I sometimes forget that this is your podcast and not talk radio. You both articulate very well and both of your voices are pleasing to the ear. I can not tell you how I’ve been turned off by other podcasts because they do not speak clearly and there tends to be more banter than actual information. I honestly am so pleasantly pleased with your organization and ease at which you converse with us. Thank you for sharing your magic with us. Even my year old daughter expects to hear you talking when she gets into my car now. Thanks to your podcasts, we are already starting to think about a Disney Cruise for next year, so we’ll be sure to call Fantastical Vacations soon. Thanks for hooking us on Addicted to the Mouse!

The BEST Disney Podcast! - I started listening to Dan & Leslie a year ago as I was planning a WDW girls trip. It didn’t take long before I was binging their past episodes again and again! I found their recommendations for food & drink & restaurants to be %! They are responsible for my new love of dining at the Boathouse and the fig drink from Morocco during the wine & food festival last year! I’ve already booked another trip for later this year, and am again binging their past podcasts while keeping up with all the new ones. Their fair, positive & honest opinions are spot on. They’re like my virtual best friends who give me all the Disney scoop! Dan & Leslie, thank you for what you do - I hope you know just how much sunshine you bring to others (and how much you feed my Disney addiction).

Thank you - Dan and Leslie feel like old friends. I listen to all of their podcasts and dining reviews. They are my break from the worries of the world and help me to get excited about my next trip to Disney. They are knowledgeable, witty and have a wonderful rapport with each other. Leslie helped me plan my last trip and cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you for making the world a more magical place.

Fun and Light - I’ve really enjoyed listening to Dan and Leslie for over a year in preparation for the Disney trip we just returned home from. I utilized their tips so much (especially for dining!) and am really thankful I found their podcast and youtube page. It’s just a nice relaxing listen twice a week about one of my new favorite topics - all things Disney. Thank you both for sharing your life with us!

My happy “place” - Ever since I found Dan and Leslie about . years ago I have been hooked. I am not one to typically write a review, but after listening to Wednesday’s podcast I felt the strong need to show some love. As someone who drives long distances often, I am always excited when I can fill that drive with this podcast. Being from New England I don’t get to visit the parks as often as I would like, and Dan and Leslie fill that hole in my heart (and are starting to inspire me to think about moving to Orlando…). Their podcast has brought me to their travel agency Fantastical Vacations where I have planned my upcoming trip in May with Catya and I have nothing but good words to say about both the podcast and the travel agency. For now, I will be waiting until Sunday night to see what else Dan and Leslie come out with!

Favorite Disney podcast! - I am a fairly new listener and happened to come across your podcast and YouTube channel when I searched up dining reviews for Lamplight Lounge! I am a frequent Disneyland and California adventure visitor, and I am currently planning to take my daughter for her th birthday! We’ve never tried that restaurant, and I found it very helpful and decided to listen to several others. Now I’m hooked and have enjoyed watching and listening to all things Disney with you guys! Thank you for keeping everything fun and exciting and honest with all of your reviews and adventures. Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming trip to Disneyland! By the way, the dessert party for the world of color show is available during the earlier show as well but sells out a lot faster so you have to book in advance. Thanks again and happy travels!

Love the reviews! - Just recently found the YouTube channel connected to the podcast and immediately followed both! Dan and Leslie are down to earth, like people who would live in your neighborhood. We especially enjoy the food reviews. We agree that everyone has different tastes and budgets. We look for dining reviews that -Show the food and portion sizes. And pricing. -Discuss if there are overwhelming flavors or surprises. -Specifics tips to the dining locations (seating, time of day) -Transportation challenges to get to/from locations. With this information we can decide if/where we might fit a meal into our trip plans. We visit twice a year and use dining reviews as a resource frequently. Dan and Leslie provide these helpful items in their reviews. My only suggestion is to show the food a little longer. Thanks for all your time spent it really is helpful to those of us who are far away!

Felt the need to review today - I felt a strong urge to send in a review after hearing about your hurtful review. You can’t control what someone says about you, but you can certainly control how you respond to it. I, for one, love your podcast. You guys help me get through my long boring days of medical billing. My husband and I just got back from a trip to WDW, and thanks to you guys I tried that brioche bun ice cream sandwich, which was AMAZING! Your review of Morimoto’s lead me to booking a reservation there, and my husband has never looked more content during a meal. We’ll definitely be going back there. I don’t think you should take that review to heart at all. There is a good chance that is a very unhappy person that wanted someone else to be just as unhappy as them. Please keep doing what you do. I look forward to every episode and I know many other people are right there with me.

My go to podcast for all things Disney - Hi Dan & Leslie. I started listening to your podcast last year when I started planning mine & my family’s first trip to Disney World. You are always full of information that I wouldn’t have even known to look for on my own & have turned me into an official Disney adult. I gotta say it’s turning into one of my fav personality traits ha ha. We have been back from our trip a month now ( insert sad face here) & had our year anniversary trip booked by the second day we were home for September of this year. You have reignited the love I had for Disney as a kid which has given me another thing to bond with my littles about so thank you so much for that. Thank you for also giving so much insight into what you do as I am now hoping to get into Disney trip planning in the future once I’ve got some more trips under my belt. Thank you thank you thank you for this truly lovely podcast. Lisa from Ohio

My Fav Disney Podcast - I found this podcast last year as I was prepping for our first trip to WDW. It quickly became me go-to source for planning. Their honest recommendations and tips to make the most of your Disney vacay are super informative and helpful. I stayed for the Disney content, to fill my Disney void post-trip and have been an avid listener ever since. I appreciate and relate to Dan and Leslie’s love for all things Disney. (Their YouTube channel is awesome too! Love the dining reviews! Although- as a CA native and regular Disneyland/DCA go-er, I disagree with your opinion on Napa Rose! bummer you had a not-so-great experience. I’ve never felt the “snooty” vibe any of the times we’ve gone there, and the food has always been top notch! I do agree with you on Carthay Circle though- it’s another fav and I love the history.) I booked our first ever Disney Cruise through Leslie, and we just got back from our “fantastical” February sailing last month! This podcast is a gem- full of great tips for everything from WDW, to Disneyland/DCA, to cruising, and all the Disney/Universal info and fun in between. Content is always fresh, informative, helpful, honest and entertaining! / recommend.

My (unknown to them) one year anniversary with Dan and Leslie - It’s official! I’ve been a full time Disney adult and following my beloved Dan and Leslie for about a year now. And thank God for them! My sister has been a mega Disney adult for as long as I can remember. I admittedly did not understand at all (and may have been made fun of her) until I took my year old son for his first trip to Disney World last spring. What my sister thought would be a “one and done” trip turned into , yes , trips since then. After returning home from the first trip the Disney blues hit HARD! I googled remedies for my ailment and found a suggestion to listen to Disney podcasts. One after one I was turned off for one reason or another, until… Addicted to the Mouse! My Disney blues are never fully cured, but man oh man do these two work wonders! I’ve listened twice a week for a year now and still look forward to each episode as if it were my first. They are so positive, lighthearted, informative, and make you feel like your sitting on a park bench eating a Mickey bar right along side of them. So thankful for them! I have so far been unsuccessful at convincing my husband into a Texas to Florida relocation, but am still pushing for a possible DVC membership. It would be incredible to have an updated episode (or part of one) explaining the process and pros and cons (especially financially) to help push him over the edge lol. Do yourself a favor and just start listening…NOW!

Serotonin Boost - I have been listening to Addicted to the Mouse for a couple months now, and I look forward to each episode. Dan and Leslie have helped me get through some really tough days at work here lately, and I can’t thank them enough for all the information and content they provide. They really make you feel like you’ve been friends with them with how friendly and positive they are. My family went to WDW back in September and ended up going the same week as Hurricane Ian, so a lot of our plans were cancelled unfortunately. We’re planning another trip in November for the Christmas celebration and I have been binge listening to get all the extra tips for our next trip. I really want to become a Disney Vacation Planner eventually and I would love to get my start with Fantastical Vacations!

Great information - We started listening prior to planning our first trip back to Disney in more than years. With all of the changes due to time and COVID we were able to quickly get back up to speed with all the goings on at Disney World. Very much appreciate the honest and positive information and perspective. We continue to listen after our trip to stay connected and learn all we can for our future trips. Thanks for all you do!

“Common sense for your dollars and cents” - The entire Ramsey enterprise is created to help you become a better, productive human. The Ramsey show, the OG, is my favorite by far. The Ramsey Baby Steps are designed to help you take control of your finances using common sense steps that we weren’t really taught. If you’re looking to improve your financial situation In any way, I highly recommend the baby steps and this show. It works if you let it.

Grandma would be proud of you - There’s lots of money advice on YouTube, TikTok, or Facebook that gives you a greasy or scummy feeling just watching it. That’s not the feeling with DRS. You listen live to real stories from people Dave Ramsey Solutions have helped past, present, and future, with teachings from the Bible and your grandmother. Common sense, no gimmicks. Personally, these teachings have saved me from slavery money for cars, education, Mastercard, etc. Thank you DRS. Proverbs :: “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender”

Too many weak guest hosts - It doesn’t matter how much you try to feature Jade and promote her, she’s just not very good… I get that she “knows the methodology”, but that doesn’t make her entertaining as a host. (I know the baby steps too, that doesn’t mean you should hire me as talent…) Unfortunately when I see the newest podcast episode features her, I skip it… and as much as y’all have pushed her of late, this means I’m listening less and less… I understand this is building bench strength and part of the succession plan, but talent matters… have her practice off the air - it’s not an optimal audience experience trying to develop her chops on air…

Delony is incredible! - Delony Is the most valuable asset at Ramsey. His mental health advice, redefining anxiety, and own your past change your future has changed my life for the better. He is the best!!! Love all the Ramsey team but Dr. Delony shines bright in his own world of mental health. He also is incredibly funny and you have to love all of the Delonyisms he comes up with. His books both Redefining Anxiety, and own your past change your future are in my top favorite books (own your past change your future being my book I have ever read) Also, his question for humans cards are just GOLD have several decks and love them!!! Want to add that I’m so proud of George he’s doing so amazing and I will continue to support his journey at he grows.

Generational change - I have followed the Ramsey principles for several years. They have sustained me in difficult times and humbled me in good times. This podcast has be the lifeline I’ve needed to run my race toward financial freedom and peace. Because it has been so consistent in providing practical financial advice, my life, the life of my children, and the life of my future grandchildren will forever be changed. Thank you Dave for being bold and standing firm on the principles you’ve outlined over the years! Forever changed!!!

Changed my life - For the first some of years of my life I had no idea what I was doing with my money; no budget, no savings, no investments NOTHING! After going through my second divorce and starting a new career asa truck driver that is very rewarding I found myself desperately needing direction with my finances. I had heard of Dave Ramsey program before but never followed through. I finally said ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I was sick and tired of it. I hired a financial coach that is certified by Ramsey and applied the principles. I have been debt free since February ‘ and have a fully funded emergency fund. I am investing heavily for my future. I sleep like a baby every night. I do not worry about a thing. This peace, the peace of being in control of my money, of being debt free, is indescribable. Surrender to the program. You will be glad you did. Trust me on this.

Excellent financial freedom advice!! - One hundred percent agree financial freedom is top priority! It is excellent advice to have a year fixed home loan and plan on paying it off early, also highly recommend being a landlord as young as possible. As far as credit cards, people who cannot afford to pay cash for a $. sweater should not be buying the $. sweater which is only worth at best five dollars once you leave the store! I have known people that pay on a $. sweater for years, it is an insane way to live!

Everyone should listen to this show! - I’m in my late ’s at this time. I worked in corporate America during my career which gave me financial security. Had I found Dave Ramsey years ago I could have made even better decisions creating more wealth. I discovered this show about three years ago and have become an avid listener. The hosts have great financial advice for callers. They truly seem to care about helping people get out of debt and create wealth. I wish the Ramsey Plan was mandatory in schools because so many children and their parents’ have no clue about money and struggle their entire lives.

Keeps me motivated - After taking financial peace, I love listening to this podcast to keep me motivated. I am enjoying all the new personalities and some older ones. Dave throws the heavy bunches and his daughter let’s you down a little easier. George is fun but tough, Jade don’t take no crap (sometimes exactly what I need) and Kristina has some great ideas and fun encouragement. Ken is always there with the career advice and my fave, John Delony is tough but compassionate especially if you’re facing something serious like grief or divorce. I feel like I know all these people because they are in my ear buds almost every day! P.S I am a military wife and mother of . Should be debt free by /!

Finally a FUN finance pod for the girlies!! - Already obsessed with this and recommended to my friends. My husband and I do a lot of real estate investment and he handles all of the finances- he’s tried to explain stuff to me but I often get overwhelmed and just zone out. Lol The podcasts he listens to put me to sleep and my brain becomes mush when I try to read any finance articles. Between her Instagram and now this podcast, Vivian has done a great job at describing financial topics and keeping it fun but still educational/up to date. I’m so excited to keep listening and maybe know more about finance than my husband?? Lol

Finally a podcast that makes my family financially savvy - Thanks to Vivian I have made few strategic changes to how I invest, save and diversify my assets. My three year daughter got her own credit card ( I keep it ) - thanks to her videos. I was able to set up a plan and even create trust funds all courtesy Vivian’s advice. My daughter Bodhi will benefit greatly due to her financial savvy tips. I even got benefited with southwest holiday debacle. She is only influencer who wants all of us to do well not just her. Thank you Vivian we love you and owe a lot to your work. Your fans from Austin Texas - nehal & BodhI

Interesting - Kind of was turned off on the whole be mad at the billionaires not the millionaire part the episode. Kind of weird. Felt like it was a “be mad at those rich people not my level of rich”. The fair share of taxes thing was a little off putting as well. Lots of energy. Not boring Upbeat She has a great voice. Seems incredibly intelligent and sharp. I have hopes for the podcast. I have subscribed and will tune in on future episodes. Hopefully it stays towards money and wealth building techniques for individuals, and stays out of the politics and current events left wing vs right wing racial/gender/ideological based topics.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 18:01:39 GMT

Excited to learn more! - Love how educated and well spoken Vivian is! So excited to learn more about finance (especially in a non-boring way)! That said, I certainly hope that the conversation maintains the philosophy that wealth should be a means to an end (bettering society, providing for your family, taking care of those less fortunate) rather than THE end. I think Vivian makes this clear but I hope she continues to clarify that money shouldn't be THE end. Rather, it's a way to connect with others, ourselves, and better take care of one another

Yay! My RichBFF has a podcast! - Love Vivian and her truth bombs on all things money, lifestyle, personal finance, news breakdowns, etc. I follow her on IG and am psyched she has a podcast for more long-form content. Besides her always helpful tips and resources, she always shares a perspective that I haven’t thought about before in a way that’s relatable and meaningful. She knows her audience and is here for us!!! Can’t wait for more drops! K.N.

Breeding Our Way to Success - Breeding our way to economic prosperity has quickly become Prof G’s hobby horse – I don’t get it, he’s an exceptional critical thinker. While I remain his biggest fan, the instinct that more breeding is necessary to avert some perceived future disaster is simply not supported by evidence and, I’d argue, is unusually half-baked for his podcast. Economists have been crying wolf for decades about this and pointing to China, with its draconian birth policy, as the example of what will happen without net population growth. Even as China gets older and its economy continues to boom along with its living standard – all as a result of a thoughtful and comprehensive policy. In fact, in the past decade or so China has been exporting labor. Are carbon emissions driven by lifestyle? Maybe a question for the % who own jets or yachts. For the rest of us this is a strawman. The population level of a country remains a much stronger predictor of carbon emissions than living standard. For most of us as individuals, emissions reduction from having one less child dwarfs all other lifestyle choices (no disrespect intended here). Even in the US with its high living standard, most emissions involve burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation. So is innovation tied to birth rate and the number of young people? Ask India and African countries how well this has worked. Among developed and developing countries there isn’t even a weak relationship between median age and technological performance. China, with its declining birth rates (not to mention the dictatorship and freedoms thing) is in the top ten technologically advanced countries. Japan, South Korea, and Singapore, all have aging populations and all are in the top five for technology and top for living standard. We really need to take a fresh look at the more-is-better paradigm of economic growth, but let’s assume that a continually expanding workforce is needed for economic well being. Switzerland, a country of high median age, low birth rate, and in the top ten countries for tech innovation, living standard, and retirement benefits, has been importing labor for decades in response to demand, while giving improved living conditions to immigrants and while still being frugal about how it doles out citizenship. Switzerland is far from the only country that does not feel constrained by boundaries in its view of the value and dynamics of workforce. Can we feed a forever-increasing population? No. Though it is amazing how we’ve fed an exploding world population through industrial agriculture and technology (the invention of a process to pull nitrogen out of the air by two German scientists in their late s made all the difference). At the moment, the bigger problem of population increases involves production of commodities other than food including water, precious metals, and other resources, all of which are in finite supply and many of which involve environmental impacts. Again, all problems of increasing population. Is means testing the silver bullet for sustainable funding for senior benefits? No, but it’s likely to be a part of the solution for countries with aging populations and is already doing its work in many places. Means testing will likely be instituted in the US to an even greater degree to push back asset reserve depletion for social security. Technology development also plays an increasing role in building sustainability in response to shifting demographics. In sum there's no evidence that Americans need to increase birth rates even for purely economic reasons; in fact, the balance of evidence points in the other direction and that governments should not be incentivizing reproduction. I always cringe when someone proposes more government benefits (eg, free daycare) at the expense of taxpayers and especially those without children already paying disproportionately higher taxes and to whom we should all be grateful. Thankfully there are many, of all ages, thinking about solutions for achieving sustainability in all its forms that are far more sophisticated than just making more babies. I really hope Prof G takes another look at this.

Vapid Edginess - Sound smart by obliquely referencing philosophy (e.g. “tech is a religion”), but most points they make are ultimately just the consensus opinion refracted through a snarky lens. The hosts have fragile egos, and give off the vibe of a year-old who’s just read two pages of Nietzsche and wants everyone to know it. Vulgar. South Park for trust-fund finance bros. They do know their subject matter well though, if you can bear the rest of it. The older I get, the less patience I have…

Thank you andy and the st Phorm team for over delivering and forever changing my life. I couldn’t be more appreciative for this podcast and what it has taught me.

Top Self Development Podcast - My favorite podcast that is out there. If you are sincerely interested in becoming the best version of yourself, embracing the good and the bad, and challenging yourself for the better, then this is the podcast you should listen to. Andy and the supporting spokespeople unfold what is commonly overlooked in the path to one's success. These guys know what they're talking about and there is a reason that they are growing so quickly. These guys fight the good fight. Thank you for steering this ship, Andy. -Nick Leone

Real and Raw - I love listening to Andy’s podcast because he always tells it exactly how it is. It really has helped me on my own journey because the topics help me to “check” myself. Am I really doing all I can? I ALWAYS am able to take AT LEAST piece of advice away from every podcast I’ve listened to thus far! Listening to this podcast has MOST definitely helped me strengthen my mind. Thank you for all you do!

Changed my game - Best podcast out there. Started listening to this and the MFCEO podcast recently. Kicked me into gear to work on getting my own business going and getting my mindset where it needs to be. I work in mental health and in fitness. In mental health— I get tired of the canned phrases and frosting put on everything. It’s nice to have a space to hear people just keeping it real. I was lacking motivation for a while, and something about this podcast and the other one helped me say “do it anyway.” And I’ve just been powering through, still not always motivated, but I’ve chosen to be disciplined.

Your Success Requires Time and Tenacity - I had a friend of mine share this podcast because I was feeling discouraged about pursing my engineering career and how ready was to switch careers because of one little test. I’ve always said to myself that “good things come to those who wait” and listening to the episode made me go back to that quote because no matter how tough things get it and you get knocked down it’s better to get up and fight even stronger and strive for what you’re aiming for. This really boasted my confidence up and gave me the will to keep fighting for that engineering career that I want!
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 03:23:31 GMT

When you’re ready to change - I spent many years going from cheap truck to another trying to find ways to help me understand how others became successful. I was my biggest enemy period. Andy and the many guest and his team dig deep in exploring yourself. Rooting out bad thought processes, finding that it’s no “secret sauce” or “magic” it’s simple; work hard and results will follow. It sounds so simple yet I waited far to long to just remember the basics. You want to grow not only as a professional, but personally and as a man. This is a tremendous resource and the fact he does it for free shows you he’s willing to put his money where his mouth is. Listen up period!
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 12:36:33 GMT

Things to know from my perspective - . They claim not to be right leaning…. I guess I could kind of see that with him owning a cannabis company, perhaps he may be libertarian. I think the reason people call him Right Wing is because he launches many attacks on the left and DJ gets a ton of his news from right wing news org. Don’t get me wrong I have big problems with the left, and equally big problems with the right, talk about both of them if you are truly libertarian. .His info is free and should be worth a ton of money. Listen objectively and you will get so much value it’s ridiculous, he’s legit helped me change my life so much and my only regret is I’ve only know about him for a couple years. . His company st phorm actually produces great products and their customer service is operating at such a high level it’s coconuts! My two biggest issues is they left a scoop out of my greens powder time (if I’m being super picky) and I’ll be honest the blender bottles are trash…. They seem cheep, mix okay, warp easily. I think it’d be cool if st Phorm worked out a deal with Helimix, they truly have delivered the best product on the market so far.

I’ve Listened To Episodes Of The $ MBA Show - I first started listening to the $ MBA Show around when the th episode was released. I’m probably not your typical listener of this podcast. I don’t own a business. I just needed something to listen to for my daily commute that was different in subject and tone from the other podcasts I was listening to at the time. Eight years and two thousand plus episodes later, I’m still listening to the $ MBA. I enjoy Omar’s positive, upbeat, and encouraging lessons and attitude. He gives real, interesting, informative, and useful advice. Many of these lessons have specific examples that come from Omar’s own experience as an entrepreneur. I’ve learned a lot about entrepreneurship without actually being one. Even without owning a business, I find it worthwhile to listen to this podcast. And If I do start a business someday, I’m much more ready after being a regular listener. After all these episodes, I’m still not tired of the $ MBA Show. There’s almost always something I find interesting in each one. Some podcasts that I used to listen to are no longer being made, but the $ MBA Show is still going strong and still feels as fresh as ever. Thanks to Omar and his team for making such a great podcast. One more thing — I also really enjoy the show’s theme music, even after hearing it thousands of times.

Actionable and Educational Info and Easily Digestible - Entrepreneur or not, we are all busy and always looking for the “best” or “easiest” way to achieve something. Omar showcases some of the brightest minds in entrepreneurship, who genuinely sound like they live for offering golden nuggets of wisdom. Think of it as your continued education in not just entrepreneurship, but learning about people and the simple fact that we all want to belong and find common ground. It's those very foundations that keep us moving towards our dreams and visions of what success means to us. It's evident that Omar sincerely wants his listeners to thrive and leave a mark in this world.

Alcoholism - As a man in recovery for . years or days . The only cure is abstinence . Lots of people shun the step program because most don’t want to face their own faults or their past . Some alcoholics drink everyday other simply have what we call an allergy to alcohol meaning , “it breaks me out in spots, Vegas , Atlantic City , mustang ranch , Dallas etc “ you get the point , we don’t drink everyday but when we do we pass the buzz stage and go straight to blackout . Now after years of work a program could I drink again, probably for a short time . The ironic thing with the last statement is alcoholism is the only disease that tells you , that you’re not sick , hence me thinking I could drink for a short time and be ok. That is a lie , no way I could drink and be ok. Through only finding the God of the Bible who I see as a power greater than myself was powerful enough to get me through the steps and start to live a contributing productive life . ( this is my experience and doesn’t reflect on everyone else )

Perspective Shift - The most valuable thing I receive from this podcast is perspective. Listening to all of the live guests share their experiences is eye opening. Some of the accounts, such as Captain Charlie Plum’s, are borderline unbelievable. If I am ever under the impression that I’m having a “bad day”, I remember what Captain Plum endured. It’s also good to know that actual superheroes exist. When I listened to John Stryker Meyer’s account of jumping out of a helicopter into a jungle canopy in Vietnam, I had to rewind the program to make sure that I heard it correctly. This madman bailed out of a chopper with no rope, to save others. No gun. No rope. He just landed on a tree and made his way down it. He definitely expanded the scope of Airborne. Most families in this country have veterans among them. My great-uncle, Sgt. John “Junior” Jones, was one of the special operations advisors that went down on Tiger Flight on March th . He was on the All Army rifle and pistol team. Junior was one of the most accurate marksman who ever lived. His deer hunting feats of marksmanship, in the mountains of Cache Valley, Utah, were the stuff of legends. Jocko, Echo Charles and their guests provide an invaluable service by sharing the selfless and extraordinary events of real human beings who have proudly served this country. These real-life accounts are now secured for future generations. Outstanding work gentleman. Sam Nelson

Wish I Knew About This Podcast in ! - Discovered Jocko & Echo’s podcast only weeks ago. Now on episode . It will take me a year to get current(listening at . speed), but it is incredible. I do not want to skip any. This is “must listen to” for teens as well as our awesome, brave military, business owners, leaders,….I can’t think of anyone who should not listen to this. Start listening and “Get After It!”

Afghanistan —Episode - Thanks for your podcast and outstanding interviews. A note about your discussion in episode re; our disastrous exit from Afghanistan. Your guest rightly pointed out that the USG negotiated the end to the US presence (known as the Doha agreement) with the Taliban, without involvement of the Afghan government. Listeners not versed in this history should be aware that the Doha agreement was negotiated and signed off on in February by the Trump administration, before the election. Trump went on to announce a September departure date while he remained president, and the withdrawal was advanced by a month to August and executed by the Biden administration. It’s important that we, as a country, confront facts and acknowledge that the blame for this shameful policy disaster rests on both parties, both administrations, each inappropriately trying to win approval of a US public disinclined to continue a presence in Afghanistan. Sadly, many Americans no longer understand the importance of the United States remaining engaged, even in small numbers, in strategic areas of conflict like Afghanistan. In fact, the trend, sadly, is towards isolationism. Eventually we will all pay the price for this naïveté. Keep up the excellent podcast!

Thoroughly enjoyed! - I have been a Kelly fan since her All My Children days… I love her energy and her openness. I really appreciated hearing that most couples can benefit from marriage counseling. I appreciated both Kelly and Mark’s willingness to share helpful personal Information. For as perfect as they can look (and boy are they a good looking couple!) they are real people with real life challenges. Congrats on the premier episode. Best of luck to you on this new chapter!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 17:58:16 GMT

Mark and marriage - I really enjoyed this. You two were real. You sounded like a typical happily married couple that has their problems. I understand the hanging up on the phone. I do that too. I fear conflict and when my husband starts raising his voice and not allowing me to talk I just hang up. In my family growing up my mother and her side of the family cuts you out of their life. There’s never a simple disagreement. So Mark be grateful she’s just hanging up on you. Lol. Depending on who your guest will be will determine when I tune in.

My Very First Podcast!! - This was the first podcast that I’ve listened to and just decided to try it after hearing about it on Kelly and Ryan. As / of a couple married for almost years and who tries to follow Bible counsel on marriage, I actually feel like I left with a positive takeaway from the guest, Dr. Linda Carter, about saying something appreciative about your mate each night before bed. I think that it’s something that we know we should do, but the specifics in that suggestion was helpful. I also really appreciated listening to Mark and Kelly’s conversation as empty nesters. It came across very sincerely. I have Kelly’s book and visited the show in , but Kelly was at her daughter’s graduation. This podcast has me looking forward to Mark as Kelly’s new cohost, where it will be like listening to your podcasts on a daily basis. But, although I’m from Chicago, I would love to be in the audience for your first show together. And, after writing this positive review, I think I should be invited to make up for Kelly not showing up in !
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 22:21:33 GMT

More Kelly? Yes Please! - Yay; finally get to hear your “NSFM” thoughts, and it’s great! Always telling my husband, “I wish I were ‘real’ friends with Kelly!” (NOT in a crazed-fan-type of way, I swear…[cue maniacal laughter]). Seriously though, really enjoyed this pilot episode and look forward to hearing more. One recommendation: maybe add links to your guests in the show notes/episode info, so listeners can find out more about Dr. Linda Carter and future guests...ya know, their services or available books, links, clips, yada yada etc. (and no your therapist did NOT put me up to this haha!) Anyhoo, thanks for your sharing your insights - as well as some laughs - and for always keeping it so real and grounded. You rock!

Why does Podcasts allow ignorant trolls? - Dear Michele, your new podcast, as ALL your contributions to a better America, should not be allowed to be tarnished by racist, ignorant, hillbilly-comment trolls. Which is not to say there is not room for intelligent, thoughtful critical commentary. BUT then, calling out the (severely) less thoughtful-as of Marchth: T_Owens ( IQ); woodchuck (rodent moniker appropriate)); Elbob; (another IQ tell)l coopersweets (truly ignorant); Ashly (please do take up those kid scissors); Isaac.aka Fatdog (you do Tampa proud);Brovolde (that steak knife to the skull you suggest for yourself might indeed improve your cognitive skills); swapnuts (nothing more need be said ). Michele, you and we will always go high even when the Deplorables are looking up the bottom of their cesspools. Moderators, please make these and their worthless first cousins go away.

Powerful Woman-My ONLY First Lady - So many people hate her for no reason she is the most loving person that you would ever know. She stood with integrity next to her husband all the years that he was an office. Her children were wonderful never in the headlines. So many people are hating and writing mean things already, but that just lets you know that you have a light that is so bright no one can dim. God has blessed you and has touched your family. With that no one else can touch you no matter what let them hate. Haters, keep hating, she’s gonna keep on smiling and keep on winning. She will ALWAYS be my ONLY and forever first lady.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 02:40:41 GMT

Inspiring and Uplifting - Both episodes I’ve listened to were incredibly heartwarming. Michelle has so much class and grace in spite of all the vile hatred thrown at her for no reason. She inspires me to want to rise above. It’s very hard not to want to attack each and every hateful person in this review section with the same vitriol they project onto her. But that does nothing but double the amount of negativity there already is in the world. I can’t wait to read The Light We Carry. I appreciate you, Michelle, for being so candid and vulnerable with us. It helps to know that even someone who has achieved as much as you have is still human and understands the difficulty of just being a human in this world. You inspire me to be better. Thank you for everything you’ve done and continue to do.

Forever Flotus - Strongly admire this lady. She speaks volumes eloquently! Such wisdom, integrity, morals so lacking in the division we find ourselves in! Allowing false narratives without speaking out allows them to grow and fester in our society. Why be complicit? Faux News lied to so many that half of America missed out on the truth! Bless her footsteps always! She envelopes a rich soul that I love. God bless the Obamas for all their steadfastness to honest decency!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 17:41:23 GMT

The Light - Just what I needed!!! I am the eldest of children who has always struggled with being a ’first’- no room for error because I was ‘setting the example’ for the others. Your words are so helpful; patience, respect, take the position seriously- you are right; it’s hard! Thank you for your excellence; we need to hear your light! I feel better because of what you shared today. I was feeling blue about my life choices and the fact that my sisters are not close with me. . . You put it into perspective by saying that it’s ok to follow a different path. Am sharing you with everyone! Can’t wait for the next episode- we NEED to hear voices we can trust and respect!

Love these guys and love these topics - I love to take a deep dive into obscure topics; podcasts seem to be the best format for that and these hosts are perfect for the topics. Listening to their soothing, almost muppet-like voices along with their gentle dad-joke-ish banter never ceases to elevate my mood. While my husband will never understand my fascination with, for example, the history of silly string, I find it to be the perfect antidote to the stresses of the world.

LOVE but so many commercials - I love SYSK. I have been listening since . It’s been my go to during car rides and before I go to bed at night. The only downside is the commercials. Some commercials are fine. I’ve even found some other good podcasts from the commercials on SYSK. But lately, they have had - minutes of commercials multiple times during one of their episodes. It’s getting harder and harder to choose SYSK over my other podcasts because of it. I would gladly pay a subscription fee in order to listen commercial free. GLADLY! I already pay to listen commercial free for some of my other podcasts. I hope that SYSK might consider this as an option for their listeners in the future.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 02:22:05 GMT

Listen to this pod almost every night - No offense to the hosts.. But i love listening to this podcast to go to sleep! It gives me something to focus on when my mine is racing and I also get to learn a little before drifting away.. i do listen to some errors multiple times until i get through them so it’s not that it’s boring. I find the hosts’ voicing pretty calming too.. dint write reviews much but wanted to show support
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 02:38:06 GMT

Friendly, Supportive, and Informative - I've been listening to Chuck and Josh since . Other podcasts have come and gone in my feed but SYSK has been a constant for me for over a decade. They've been familiar voices on foreign trips where I don't know the language, they've filled the silence of cooking dinner and doing chores when I lived alone, and now that I commute less they are the only podcast that I still make time for. Josh and Chuck approach each topic with kindness and open minds. They have a great chemistry with each other and enthusiasm for learning that is contagious. They are the best!
Sun, 12 Mar 2023 00:37:12 GMT

Pros and Cons - The main content of the show is interesting and the hosts are likable. Some topics are well communicated, others make it clear that more research would have helped. I’d like to listen more frequently, or play the show at night when going to bed, but the ads make that impossible. They are too frequent, too long, and too loud. That’s because I guess at some point the show was bought out by a corporate conglomerate, so don’t expect that aspect to improve.
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 16:42:42 GMT

Fantastic! - Respectful, informative, and fun!! I love sysk!! Update: I want to come back every couple of years and update my review. I love chuck and josh. I listen to them almost every day. Have listened to episodes over and over as I clean the house or run errands. They were the first podcast I ever listened to years and years ago. They feel like friends. We don’t have the same beliefs, or agree on everything I’m sure. If I feel like an episode/subject might be too different from my views I just skip that one. Even so, I know they will be absolutely respectful of others views. I will forever be their fan and I hope they podcast forever.

Historically Vibes - I enjoy how this podcast takes apart history and the media age. This hot take on the internet through the early st century really shows how conflicts spiraled out of control and into mainstream media. When I speak to others about JK, most don’t have much to say. We all seem to be silenced by what she said and how she said it. It’s nice to hear her side and the side of trans folk. I am very interested to hear what she has to say when episode comes out.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:21:34 GMT

Barometer of Balance - Reading some previous reviews criticising producer Megan Phelps-Roper as being pro-Christian and sympathetic to transphobic views after transparently revealing her growing up in the Westboro Baptist Church, then leaving and changing her life and world view because of thoughtful caring people who had open respectful CONVERSATIONS with her is not credible. It also does not take into account the fact that Andy Mills and Matthew Bill co-produced this podcast and would have to hold similar views which I find hard to believe. I would encourage other listeners/ reviewers to visit The Free Press web page. Click and read the ABOUT link. This was a thoughtful, compelling and balanced story (can’t wait for episode ). I know this to be true with me because every time I heard extreme views from either side of this socially and politically charged topic I felt VERY uncomfortable. I hope a large majority of listeners had/have the same feelings.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:46:11 GMT

One star reviews make you look foolish - The one star reviews are a joke. So JK can’t have her own opinion if it does not agree with yours. That seems pretty narrow minded to me. She isn’t asking for repression or rule changes and doesn’t care what an adult chooses to do. If we have laws that kids can’t drink alcohol until they are or drive until we shouldn’t have rules on a child making a lifetime choice? No one cares what adults do but kids are a different story. The sad thing is that this makes me a bad person. This is all driven by social media algorithms.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 16:04:20 GMT

Keep listening. Stay open. - Please keep listening to the rest of the episodes. I almost quit listening because I was disturbed by how sympathetic it seemed to be towards Rowling. The th episode was beautifully done and so so so important. So much tension held and so much compassion shown. Megan is doing an excellent job, asking the hard questions with appreciation for the cost. If I hadn’t left my Christian upbringing and community, I wouldn’t have learned the importance and struggle with asking and searching “what if I’m wrong.” Thank you to all the trans people who are giving so generously to help us understand - to know better and do better.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:51:06 GMT

listening to every episode - the low reviews seem to miss the point, which is that multiple narratives can and should coexist. "the truth" is confusing and stems from individuals' personal histories and socialization. this podcast teases forth the many truths and perspectives in this jk rowling situation. to me this method seems like the only way we can all gain empathy and tolerance for each other despite differences
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:25:03 GMT

Misattributing Critical Theory concepts from university - First of all I have been enjoying this podcast a lot However, in episode , the idea is put forth that many ideas such as “identifying”, “privilege”, calling things “problematic” These are NOT ideas created by people on Tumblr. Those ideas were created in the Critical fields in the university system. Things like Critical Gender Studies, Critical White Studies, etc.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 12:42:38 GMT

Thanks to all, especially Noah - I love this podcast for trying hard to see beyond the all-too-human tendency to dig in our heels and declare “if you’re not for me you’re against me.” In each episode, Megan Phelps-Roper has covered a different, important piece of this fascinating story. Episode was the best yet, even though it didn’t feature JK Rowling at all. I loved both Natalie and Noah telling their personal stories so brilliantly, and what I learned from Noah in particular went beyond all my expectations and preconceptions. The first five episodes were crucial in laying the groundwork for the sixth, and I look forward very much to hearing Rowling’s responses in the seventh, final episode. Noah said he hopes it will eventually become clear that JK Rowling means well. That is what I hope will happen too, because I believe it is surely true.

Stunning and Brave - Fair, balanced, in-depth and evenhanded this podcast delves into the history of controversies surrounding the Harry Potter franchise and its author dating back to the early s - from being accused of spreading Satanism by the Evangelical Right to being accused of spreading transphobia by the Modern Left. Standing up to the bullies seeking to use the trappings of progressivism to legitimize misogyny, violence, and the erasure of women’s safety, JK Rowling offers a raw, rare and honest conversation with The Free Press that discusses her history as an abuse survivor, her spirit as a fighter, and her recent ordeals of being targeted for harassment by an online mob. The podcast offers a meditation on the nature of identity, internet hate, and the clash of cultures while simultaneously bringing in-depth reporting about the recent swell of debate regarding the Harry Potter franchise. Stellar job on both accounts.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 02:32:34 GMT

What a great story/ update after listening to episode - I’m sorry but was Noah supposed to change our minds because he did the opposite. none of his reason were valid enough to transition at such a young age, I feel like he was looking for validation in all the wrong places. I feel like he’s still so young to know if he’ll have regrets. But only time will tell and hopefully his transition wasn’t done in vain. My well wishes to him. I love the host the way she speaks so clear and articulate, hearing Joanne’s story is such a heartbreaking one yet the things she has been able to accomplish is so amazing
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 01:06:22 GMT

Such an important conversation! - This podcast goes in depth into some very important and difficult to discuss issues such as cancel culture, transgender rights and free speech. I think Megan Phelps-Roper does an excellent job and has a really unique perspective. My only critique is that it really begins from the JKR perspective and takes quite a few episodes to get to the alternate point of view. It’s pretty fair minded in all, I just this some folks might give up before they hear the representation of both sides. Thank you for this thoughtful podcast. I’m going to listen to it with my teen so we can talk through some of these issues together.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 22:58:26 GMT

Love the extra context - Love it so much and enjoy the deep dive into culture of the last years with the rise of the internet. Gives me so much insight as to how dark corners of the internet become mainstream cultural behavior. Never read Harry Potter (just not my thing) but plan to now. Glad to know more about its author and find the attempt to remove her name from her creation utterly contemptible. Adore The Free Press. Keep it up!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 21:07:37 GMT

Compelling and Nuanced - Wow, do yourself a favor and listen to this in it’s entirety. This is a deeply moving and emotional piece of real journalism…the kind of journalism we really don’t get much access to in today’s black and white society. It puts a multilayered, complex narrative into a historical and cultural context while weaving in the lived experiences of both trans people and J.K. Rowling so the audience can understand how each person’s worldview has been shaped. I felt curious, open, enraged, perplexed, impressed, defensive, enlightened and everything in between throughout these episodes. I did not walk away from this feeling vindicated in my beliefs and worldview or with a sense of superiority and righteousness or lost and overwhelmed. I walked away from this with a quiet sense of “I have more to learn” and “this is really complicated” and “how can we move forward with everyone’s wellbeing in mind?”. This piece of journalism represents true liberalism. Having difficult conversations, entertaining ideas that make us uncomfortable, tolerating ambiguity, not always having answers, being open to being proved wrong or having your mind changed, accepting that neither you or anyone else has all the “right” answers and that we’re all just human beings trying to figure out life and how to construct society in the best way we can. It is not a bad thing to be able to see both sides of a debate. It’s ok to allow your consciousness to evolve slowly and over time. This is the democratic process and pluralistic environment that a healthy society is created in. Reject cancel culture, reject hate, reject moral soapboxes, reject the all or nothing. Be open, be curious, be willing to engage in critical thinking and self reflection. That’s what I’m taking away from this.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:29:15 GMT

Too much of Rowling’s views - As the parent of a trans son, transitioned at after a year of therapy, I think Rowling and the host are blowing things out of proportion. Most parents will take their child to a doctor who has much experience with transition, before making any radical decisions. Of course children under the age of should not and I think do not make the decision to transition without talking to a parent or doctor. Why is Rowling an authority on trans kids? I resonate with Natalie in episode
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 19:27:47 GMT

Bravo, Megan and The Free Press! - Something I think about a lot: the fascinating aspect of human psychology that expresses as a self-fulfilling prophecy; that if you consider yourself on the “right” side of anything, then you are immune to being challenged in your beliefs and go even further to justify harm onto people. Regardless of which way you’re inclined to lean on everything discussed in this series, it is thoughtfully well done at framing the modern day contrast that humanity is intensely navigating. If anything, I feel that Megan has done a really beautiful job in reminding us to preserve curiosity and open hearts for really hard, nuanced conversations with each other.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 18:50:56 GMT

If I could give … - If I could give stars, I would. This is excellent journalism! The conversation is both thought provoking and endearing. We are reminded that behind every opinion, every “conviction”, is a person with unique perspectives, experiences, beliefs, and emotions. I love JK Rowling, and I am grateful to this podcast for giving her and the some in the trans community the opportunity to have a much needed conversation through Megan.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:15:32 GMT

Whole new perspective - I was eager to listen to this podcast because I was curious about the complexity of Rowling I had seen over the years. I was one of the “religious nuts” who wouldn’t let their kids read the Harry Potter books for concerns over so called “witchcraft.” When her tweets came out defending women I found myself wanting to champion her for speaking logic to what felt like nonsense. It wasn’t too surprising to see culture and media rake her over the coals, but it made me think there must be more to the story. Maybe I don’t have all the facts. Could I be wrong about my thoughts on Harry Potter? This podcast has really opened my eyes to who Rowling is, what her intentions were in writing Potter, and sharing those tweets. More importantly, I’ve been reminded of the importance of digging deeper, listening to the source, seeing the complexity of an issue, and being open-minded to gaining a better perspective. This has been one of the best, neutral, well laid out podcasts I’ve listened to. Looking forward to your next series. Also, It’s fascinating to see the negative reviews of this podcast before the whole series has been released. Many of the complaints are addressed in later episodes. Just keep listening.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:29:13 GMT

Report This Hate Speech Podcast - Keep in mind that Phelps is a woman who hasn’t changed too much from her bigoted days at the Westboro Bapist Church, seeing as she’s being hosted by Free Press. That is a right-wing site which has pushed transphobic people such as Jamie Reed who lied about Washington University’s gender clinic and even misgendered patiets in her “whistleblowing” post. JK Rowling has proven herself to be an out of touch rich white woman who associates heavily with equally transphobic peers. She has spread serious misinformation that is resulting in numerous laws that will hurt everybody, not just trans people, because restrictive, harmful laws will not end with just trans people. She hates trans people and she does not deserve a platform. Report this because this hate speech is causing violence against innocent people.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 02:40:06 GMT

Finally - Amazing podcast! Rowling is NOT transphobic and this podcast does a great job of contextualizing her comments. Trans people should be allowed to dress and identify how they wish without fear of harassment; however, just because one feels like the opposite sex does not mean they actually are women or men. They are trans men and trans women. What is wrong with that distinction? How is it transphobic? The response to her comments from the trans community is absolutely disgusting. You can dress and identify how you wish and definite gender how you wish, but that won’t change your sex.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 22:25:48 GMT

Not a conversation - episodes in and all I’ve heard is one side. It’s presented as J.K. Rowling is just misunderstood and if you just understand her POV, you won’t have a problem with it. Well I understand her view and still find it problematic. I’ll probably listen to the rest as they come out, but not expecting much at this point. Update: the th episode finally talked to two of her critics. It sounds like th episode is back to JK. So just one episode from the viewpoint of her critics. Still seems pretty one sided to me.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 19:48:48 GMT

MUST LISTEN - I just listened to this episode and my heart exploded with empathy AND compassion. Megan’s unique personal experiences allow her to see Natalie’s in a way that creates this safe space of truly trying to understand where she is coming from. I hope that people will listen to this and realize how much humans indeed have in common and how important it is JUST TO LISTEN. I have so much respect for Natalie and the way she can articulate her life experience from a place of love and kindness even though she hasn’t received the same. People just want to be heard and understood. This was a beautiful interaction between two very different women that was inspiring and intriguing… every second of it! Thank you for this. Both of you. Your vulnerability and desire to learn more about people is quite heroic in today’s social climate and I applaud you!!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 18:46:26 GMT

Disappointingly One-Sided - Update: Episode was a welcome breath of fresh air. However, this arrived too little too late, as I imagine those who agree with my original review below might've checked out after the first (or even or ) episodes. As well, a single episode dedicated to trans voices in a -part series about trans controversy is not enough to balance out the whole discussion. Two stars for production value, and because I think Phelps-Roper is sincere (or trying to be). Judging by the title alone, not to mention it being a product of Bari Weiss and The Free Press, I should’ve known what I was getting into. But the podcast made a lot of promises about presenting both—all—sides of the debate, so I was expecting to hear more trans voices and equal time given to presenting and steel-manning the argument of JK’s detractors. Instead, this is hardly more than a puff piece on JK Rowling disguised as NRP-esque pop-culture commentary. Five episodes in, and they’ve given us nothing but scene-setting to present Rowling’s side. The podcast offers nothing new if you haven’t been part of the Potter fandom and internet culture for the last twenty years—which I realize not everyone has, but people who have likely make up the bulk of their audience. I was hoping for more rigorous intellectual debate, but the whole thing is sadly one-sided. I’ll probably finish listening, but my expectations have already been dashed. If JK Rowling needs hours’ worth of episodes to provide preliminary context in order to justify what she said, then perhaps it’s not all that justifiable.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 15:32:12 GMT

Highly informative - An interesting exploration of the culture wars and changing landscape of progressivism. Important topics that are discussed with nuance and context. I didn't find the podcast was trying to convince me to side with JKR; more so it is trying to explain how we got here. This isn't a debate about trans rights; it is a conversation and exploration of American culture. Update: ep with Nathalie Wynn brings this full circle. If you were worried this was a defense of JKR, fear not. After five episodes of exploring Rowling, we finally hear the emotional impact of her words. We move away from the theoretical understanding JKR to understanding the very real and palpable hurt of those she has affected.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:56:56 GMT

Speaking truth to power - I feel like those in the trans community see the world in a way that they can only be the oppressed. Yet I only hear of people losing their jobs and being canceled for having reasonable views like JK Rowlings. Tell me who you are not allowed to criticize and I’ll tell you who has the power. It takes courage both to express JK’s views and to put out this podcast. To those of you who are or sympathize with trans people. I believe the vast majority of people leaving positive reviews support you totally in being who you are and loving whom you love. We disagree about where your rights end and ours begin. I won’t tell you how to define a man or a woman. Please don’t tell me how to, or worse threaten my job or life for not agreeing with your definitions.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:58:43 GMT

Important to know - I started this podcast to learn more about the current situation between J.K. Rowling and Trans community (As is advertised) but so far it’s not that? It’s just about “Christians” who hated Harry Potter. After looking up the author, it’s easy to understand why. I just wish this was marketed ‘as it is’ as not a ploy to pull people in - I get it, people wouldn’t have listened if she didn’t, but still this is a just waste of time.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 10:29:31 GMT

Climbing out of the rabbit hole is hard work - Rowling regularly tweets inflammatory messages and articles on Twitter. I know because I follow her and read most of them. They only quote a small selection of her tweets in this podcast, and some of the tweets they leave out are really not broadcast-ready. I actually agree with many of her viewpoints, but the way she has been expressing them, to me, seems foolish and divisive. She’s a smart lady, and knows what she is getting into, which leads me to conclude that she wants people to be angry for whatever purpose. Perhaps she’s right in the sense that it brings awareness to an issue she is passionate about, however, I think she’s turned off more people than she’s convinced. If she had done something like this show to begin with instead of a year tweet storm, she might have turned fewer people against her viewpoint.

This podcast changed my mind about JK Rowling - I made fun of her in the past, not to the level of tweeting her hateful things directly or anything, but amongst friends and others, I joked about her and considered her to be batty. This podcast made me regret that, which is powerful, and I can legitimately say it made me change my mind. How many things exist like that? I now think JK is very thoughtful, brave, and true to herself and the books she wrote. I thought it was fascinating to hear her compare Harry Potter to what we see now (showing it’s still relevant and some have missed the point of the books completely). I also found the balance of sharing the other side in this podcast was good. It deep dives into the issue from the beginning and shares everyone’s perspective fairly. In short, this is great journalism. I wish everyone would listen to this podcast, especially those who most need to hear it.

too many clips. poorly edited - this could and should be a hour piece comprised of the host, jk, and a few experts and quotes for context. but the copious, unneccessary use of historical news clips after every other sentence drags it out to an almost unbearable degree. it's a trope that belittles the subject matter, insults the listener's time, and rattles the brain. if you weren't stressed before you might be after listening.

Excellent Reporting - Megan is a fantastic journalist. She gives voice to all sides and weaves in relevant context as she tells this story. This topic that has become incredibly toxic and it takes brave women to voice their concerns. It also occurred to me as I was listening that this subject has taken on a fundamentalist religious tone where anyone who disagrees or resists the movement is literally labeled as “evil” and deserving of corporal punishment.

An Uncomplicated, Disappointing Portrait - Contrapoint’s video, J.K. Rowling, did much better at looking at viewing this experience with a complex lens. This podcast is best experienced as a dramatization of Rowling’s worldview than a nuanced analysis of why Rowling may have been “cancelled.” We are in episode , and the backlash Rowling experienced on a social media platform is completely depicted as a hate mob of irrational people without much attempt to equally understand why those people may have felt hurt. The next episode may be delving into this, but we are five episodes in without challenging any of Rowling’s stances, which is dangerously far where listeners may drop off as understanding the podcast to endorse the views of Rowling. Additionally, the fear of “right to debate” (my words) ignores that the side Rowling is wanting to platform has historically been used to marginalize a set group of people. For example, the podcast has Rowling read all of the empathetic portions of Rowling’s TERF wars essay while playing readings of a volatile eruption on social media in response to the essay. The podcast does not include the poorly documented and harmful claims that sparked that outrage. Additionally, this podcast platforms interviewees that provide anecdotal claims that go unchallenged as well as misleading reporting (where are all of these rogue gender clinics not following protocol? Where are the large amounts of families pursuing such rushed care?) We can understand Rowling as a complex person without simplifying the experiences of the those on the other end of this story, reducing them to a mob. I recommend going elsewhere to have a more complete understanding about how Rowling has gotten to where she is.

This podcast always makes me smile and feel less alone - Whether you guys are talking about hard things or easy things, this podcast makes me smile and feel less alone in a time when we are all still so uncomfortably isolated. I look forward to my “me” time (whenever I can squeeze it in as a mom of two young kids) even if it means it takes me hours to finish a minute episode. Sometimes, I feel like a rd sibling, separated at birth from Glennon and sister — I find myself saying “yes! Exactly!” out loud as I listen along. I, too, am unable to be “light” and breezy. I don’t know how to have fun. My wife is the opposite, and she reminds me of Abby sometimes. The three of you provide a wonderful balance and it’s a privilege to be invited into your conversations. You guys get it. And it makes all the difference. Thank you for doing this. We need it. I need it.

I love it!! - I just recently discovered this podcast and I cannot stop listening! It is like a balm to my soul. Support, love, and kindness radiate each episode and I find so much soooo relatable. I often get goosebumps and tears in my eyes while listening. And everyone on here is so authentic and inspires that in their guests. Thank you for putting this wonderful podcast out into the world. We really need it. I truly cherish it.

An open invitation to be better humans one podcast at a time - This podcast is so important to the world and the individual. It can raise the vibration of the human state if we take the opportunity. Selfishly, I learn so much - parenting, privilege, respect, kindness - and the many faces it takes. As a yr old white mom I’m probably the strike zone demographic but seriously- the topics are all so helpful and things I am so curious about but could not curate a space to explore on my own. I want this kind of righteous curiosity for everyone. Love this pod!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 17:41:25 GMT

So grateful - Since words won’t adequatley express how much I love this podcast, my actions will show you how much I do. There are a few episodes I have listened to more times than I can count (the episode with Dr Becky and the episode featuring Abby where she talks about ending her unrequited love). I’ve sent several episodes to my therapist and several to my friends…and my friends send them to me too! Some of these discussions have led to crucial “aha” moments for me. I am very grateful for this podcast. Thank you. Keep doing the good work!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 17:29:16 GMT

All of it - Wisdom, laughing, tears, tips, fears, wins and losses- Glennon, Abby, and Amanda take you through it all and each episode is a gift. The guests they bring on are all basically icons, and teach me something every time. I have laughed out loud in my car (the embarrassing stories episodes- are you kidding) on my way home from hard days working as a nurse, cried picking up my house listening to stories about strength and resilience, and caught myself opening my notes app in a fury to jot down quotes by them in stories that felt relatable to my own experiences that I needed to hear. Very grateful and an absolute worthwhile listen.

An island of sanity in an otherwise insane world - I LOVE this podcast. It’s an island of sanity in an otherwise insane world. I love that it’s hosted by these three fabulous women. I love that it focuses on compassion, but also calls us to continue fighting in small, everyday ways, for equality and social justice. I love the guests. (Particularly the episodes with Jane Fonda, Liz Gilbert and Gloria Steinem.) Last but not least, I love the theme song by Glennon’s daughter, Tish.

Listen, Laugh, Learn…..and sometimes cry ugly - I started listening a couple of months ago and love the energy and perspective from all of you. I have to say, Episodes , , , and unleashed something in me…..some deep, hidden pain that I knew was there, suppressed it but didn’t fully understand it. Abby’s story of realizing that she IS lovable…..I ugly cried. Thank you for your willingness to be vulnerable and share your story. The gift your children gave you at Christmas was the big red bow!

Beyond Informative!!! - Where was this podcast years ago??? As a woman, a psychotherapist, and someone that has been on all sides of therapy, I cannot be more grateful for this podcast. I recommend We Can Do Hard Things to clients, friends, family, and knowing me strangers on a plane. I listen to it and gain HUGE insights personally and professionally. Although the topics can be heavy, there is levity, as well a normalizing at the same time. Thank you Brene Brown on (two things can be true at the same time!) I never dread listening to an episode worrying it may be too much. If that enters my mind, I will listen to some of the episodes such as the astrology episode, or the enneagram episode. Please all human beings listen to this podcast for so much learning, inspiration, healing, and good stuff! Thank you Glennon, Abby and Amanda!! Tricia Burke, LCSW, LCSW-C

Becoming a Better Person - During the pandemic my best friend, whom I met in first grade (almost years ago!), urged me to listen to this podcast. I wasn’t into the podcast scene at all and didn’t want another thing distracting me in my life. But she kept gently asking me to listen. I’m so glad she did! I have laughed, cried, raged and learned so much about how to know and love myself better and how to be a better human to other humans. I can’t thank Abby, Amanda, and Glennon enough for their hard work and public vulnerability. I’m so grateful for their content and have a deep appreciation for their work. Please keep doing what you were doing. It is the highlight of my week to listen to your podcast!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:56:52 GMT

We Can Do Hard Things is my Secondary Therapy - I listen to the podcast every week, and I listen even more often when I need to feel supported, seen, or inspired. Somehow y’all have episodes about the exact issue I am struggling with that week, and your interviews and discussions offer me comfort and a greater understanding of myself. I am so grateful for all that you share with me and the whole pod squad. Your work is a true gift. Thank you.

This show lost its magic. - This show has become just another political podcast. It used to be so good. There is so much politically driven divisiveness going on in this country and this used to be a bit of levity. I used to listen to this to hear interesting, heartwarming stories about all sorts of people in this beautiful, diverse and fascinating country but I have to go to the archives to hear these stories now. It's lost it's magic.

Ghost Industrial Complex - Yet ANOTHER egregious reality of white supremacy playing out in this case in Savannah GA. it is always heart stopping and devastating to hear these episodes and how Black folks have to expose these stories of the perpetuating myth it’s ok to murder rape and abuse black people. it’s difficult to listen to and heart wrenching and a call to action again and again - thee as no you yo thr reporter and his team for letting us know about this devastating situation
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 12:50:34 GMT

Le sigh - I adore this show in the way that I adore when you can undress and change clothes in front of a human, whilst still continuing a conversation without any confusion of puritanical woes, given or received by either party, just a certainty that you are so very comfortable and safe while you both add to each others life through conversation and then that’s it that’s all…just existing and sharing stories and information. I hope this explains how very beautiful you all are as stories tellers, you are the tribal form of the elders in our modern world.

An American treasure - It was maybe years ago that I heard my first episode, while on a long road trip and searching the car radio for something to listen to. Been eagerly listening ever since and working my through the archives for what I missed. In retrospect, TAL could be considered the OG template for modern podcasting. Thank you to Ira, all the producers and staff responsible for this weekly gift.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 15:53:53 GMT

Otis is Resurrected - The inclusion of a story about the brother who repeats the violent conduct of an impaired boy who regularly tortures his pet armadillo by drowning it to unconsciousness was repellent. Was it supposed to be art? It reminded me that it is the rare case that women undertake or write about violence done to helpess creatures oh, just for the heck of it. Ira Glass afterward underscored that the story was a work of fiction and no animals were harmed. But who dreams up stuff like that and decides it'd make for good reading? Or publishes it as entertainment and gives you a heads up sort of post hoc? It was disgusting and there should've been a heads up that animal cruelty was involved in the segment. Nice job, TAL. I won't be reading any Brady Udall anytime soon.
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 02:52:36 GMT

Ordinarily I LOVE this podcast - I look forward to this podcast every week and enjoyed this week’s podcast (got a little worried at the small animal part of one of the stories), but hated the ending of the armadillo story. The brother had a disability and tried to kill the armadillo … once… and was relieved he hadn’t succeeded. The storyteller brings that poor, defenseless animal to the brink of death a time or two a year so he can remember his brother’s “resurrection” moment? That is pure abuse. I don’t care how nice a room the armadillo has, to be essentially waterboarded twice a year, for old times sake is sick and horribly abusive The guy needs a therapist. I’m really disappointed in this week’s choice of story.

Another great empire has fallen - The original heavy hitters from the old days with Robert and Jad were some of the all time best podcast episodes I’ve ever listened to. Though it’s taken a long time for me to recognize and accept, this show has really fallen off course. Not only has the content gotten worse, I often have a hard time seeing how it at all resembles the original premise of the show. Now just sensationalized sociopolitical commentary packed with adds and reruns. Unfortunately I’m unfollowing
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 01:54:46 GMT

Unsubscribing after almost years - This show has lost its spark. The conversation about airplane seats was probably the dumbest conversation I’ve ever heard on a podcast. It was worse that those easy listening radio talk shows where the hosts just babel about on about nonsense. Please challenge your listeners intellectually or bring back Jad and Robert so they can do it for you? It’s nice to have a little more host diversity but it’s honestly unlistenable.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 01:32:54 GMT

Sorry, Radiolab - I started listening to RL in . For years, this was one of only two podcasts I listened to regularly. I’m saddened by its recent decline. First Robert left, then Jad; and since then, I’ve not found the new episodes fun or compelling. Where is the joy?? Before, this show felt like a journey of beautiful, playful curiosity through the amazing world around us yet at an adult level of intellect, with scientific research backing it all up. Now… both the intellect and the joy have dimmed, but the hype and sensationalism have been turned up. This show is getting… shallow? Is that the word? Goodbye Radiolab. I’m unfollowing.

I miss Jad - This used to be one of the most phenomenal podcasts I had in my library. It was smart, entertaining, riveting. I looked forward to every episode. As reporters, I adored lulu and Latif. I was excited when it was announced that they were taking over as hosts. However, it’s really disappointing to find out that their “hosting” only consists of putting up a paywall and then just reposting old episodes over and over and over again. It almost feels like it would have been better to just cancel the show instead of watching them ignore it and be a shell of what it used to be.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 19:06:52 GMT

What’s Going On here? - Soren, Becca Rachel, Matt, Ariane and many more I’ve failed to mention are all still there. Everyone knows, or should know, it’s the producers that do the heavy lifting on a show. The hosts don’t seem to have much input. A shame because Latif produced some excellent stories. Lulu certainly has cred for her previous stuff, maybe it’s do to with motherhood but it would be nice if she addressed the audience like adults. All the replayed episodes stand in stark contrast to the weak half hour long new stuff. Who needs hosts? Just let Soren take over and I suspect the quality and quantity of new shows would return.

i’m just here cause matt and abby told me to leave a star review - honestly though, this show really does deserve stars. it’s so casual, pretty educational if i’m being honest, and matt and abby are hilarious. i’ve been following them for a few years now and it’s so cool to see the growth they’ve had in their own relationship and now as being parents too. shoutout to matt here, i’m only and not even close to getting married let alone having kids, but you’ve honestly been a huge role model as far as what a husband and now dad should be like for their wife/children. as a child of divorce, i can’t say i’ve really seen what that looks like unfortunately. i can say with one hundred percent certainty that when i’m married and a dad one day, i’ll be modeling quite a bit after you. love you guys

Want to be a wedding guest?! - This podcast is honestly unmatched. It’s super casual and funny, and each episode is intentional and has a purpose, rather than talking about random things. I look forward to every Wednesday! I would also love hear any marriage advice! I’m and get married in JULY, so it is very easy to relate to you both. I’d love to send y’all an invite if you have a mailing address. It’ll be a good one!! The insta is @lauryn.ogrady

I turn this on every Wednesday on my drive too and from work, but I saved the latest episode for today because I knew y’all’s conversations would help quell my nerves for the interviews I had, it worked! Listening to y’all feels like listening to best friends. You guys are so loving, positive, and genuine towards each other and others it inspires me to become a better partner and person. Thank y’all so much for sharing your lives with us. “Later dudes!”
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 23:09:30 GMT

Love it! - I have followed y’all for a while and I’m really enjoying the podcast! I have to say I loved your episodes with Sarah and Derik and the one with Devin and Hunter. I follow them as well and it was so fun to hear you interact with them and I seriously wanted to be right there with you. You all seem so genuine and fun to be around and I love also watching you with your sweet babies. @lauraedominick

So relatable - My hubby and I have been married for about years and while we didn’t get married as young as y’all it’s still refreshing listening to y’all talk about similar struggles and highs of marriage in a positive light. I truly believe that you have to marry your best friend to make it work and that’s how I feel about my hubby and I and that’s how y’all make it sound too. Kudos and congratulations on your baby !

I just wanted to shout you both out for being so candid and REAL with us! Thank you for making my long drives to work more bearable and for creating a balance with your realness between spreading joy and real emotions. I LOVE this podcast and can’t wait to see all the features and many more episodes. Thank you for turning me into a vocal supporter LOL! All the best, Elizabeth xo

It’s entertaining, real and down to earth in a world full of drama and cancellations. Such a breath of fresh air with all the hate and rudeness that goes around constantly. % recommend to anyone looking for an amazing podcast to tune into!

It’s encouraging to hear y’all speak about your own relationship and the things you’ve learned from and with each other, and it’s also been so encouraging to hear your guests (who have all been so naturally kind and genuine) I’m in a relationship with my highschool sweetheart, and we’re coming up on years now… listening to y’all speak on your relationship experience has had me laughing and crying and it has taught me so much. When a relationship is based on the Lord first, it makes it so easy to love the other person so well, and y’all have SHOWN that. May the Lord continue to bless your family with peace, strength, and wisdom. Thank you for all that y’all do, continue steadfast in it, because y’all are helping people all over @helen.shtefan

In response to getting cancelled - I recently listened to Joe Rogan’s podcast with Dr. Phil and he was talking about cancel culture. He said something along the lines of let’s stop calling it cancel culture and call it counsel culture so people can talk about it and explain their situation without being so hated on. It really put another perspective on things! Thank you for continuing to be honest and open. Sincerely, one of your silent followers :)

You guys help so much! - I absolutely love the unplanned podcast! I have been a huge fan of Matt and Abby from the very beginning and watching them put raw, true emotions on the internet, especially in this podcast, has helped me through my own struggles in so many ways. Matt and Abby don’t feel the need to put on a fake face to their dudes, and that’s what I love about them! It makes me feel better knowing that this young couple can tackle any unplanned or crazy events this life will throw at them. As a young year old woman, I love hearing that Abby goes through some of the same mental struggles I do. This podcast has helped me come out of my depression and reach out for help. I love your little family, and hope I can be as great of parents/ role models that you guys are! I can’t wait to watch your family grow!

Love the honesty and just raw truth - I am not a podcast person, but I love Matt and Abby and just binged this podcast haha I just love how honest and genuine they are. I don’t usually comment on things, I’m just a quiet social media follower, but it’s nice to hear some raw truth about pregnancy and postpartum or anxiety because I have struggled with it and not many people talk about it. They are just people I would love to meet someday just to talk and hangout and get to know and just talk about everyday life things. I would highly recommend this podcast. I wish social media would be more like this and not the way it is these days with tearing people down. It goes back to the whole saying if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all every kid has been told this, but lately people are just are cruel (it’s always been out there but now they have social media platform to broadband it) and it is just getting out of control and it’s so sad seeing not only adults, but children having to deal with it behind the screen. Anyways…love love this podcast! Definitely check it out!

Absolutely LOVE!! - I just binged all of your podcast episodes and as a silent follower it was so fun to listen, laugh, and cry with y’all. It felt like we were all just hanging out because you guys are so personal. The most impactful episode was hearing about you getting cancelled. It was so real and authentic.

Good Concept, One Annoying Thing - As a non-fiction book lover, I love the concept of the show! However, if you don’t have something to add to the conversation, please refrain from saying filler words like “Right” or “Yeah”. The Outliers episode is impossible to listen to. I lost count of how many times each host was saying “Right” at one point. At the very least, edit them out. I like the show.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus - I remember my dad getting this book after him and my mom split. Listening to this I am now realizing that all of my relationship advice I have ever gotten from the male perspective has been from exact quotes from this. Also let me add, when I had the “pre marriage counseling” with the pastor that married me to my abusive ex based a lot of these same exact theories and advice. So in short, this podcast is great and surprisingly healing in a way I didn’t expect. I have been sharing every episode I have listened to so far
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 20:02:53 GMT

The Premise isn’t About Debate - I think most of the negative reviews are failing to understand that the premise of the podcast is to pick apart the poor research/methodology/foundational understandings behind these mega-hit books. It is possible to critique the How and Why of an idea/movement/moment without having to present an alternative to it that is ironclad. People are reviewing as though this is a debate podcast: two hosts versus an idea in the zeitgeist, and they both present their side. That’s not really it. It’s about how these books should never have taken hold like gospel truth to begin with, because they were typically based on partial to complete falsehoods…and often, the authors knew it. It’s kind of indicative of the current discourse climate that people feel like the hosts need to “prove their side,” when their “side” is typically that the books used faulty reasoning and poor logic. Irrationality is not basis for true argument, and does not, in fact, deserve a fair hearing. It is inherently unfair by virtue of its illogic - it creates its own rules. If someone says they’ve proven something via an experiment and gained some amazing knowledge, but I can easily show how their experiment was flawed, broke half the rules of scientific research, and couldn’t hold up to peer review…it’s not then on ME to prove some other answer. Its on the person claiming the knowledge to fix their methodology, perform it correctly, and get their results. These hosts don’t have to pretend that these books based on fabricated realities have as much weight as any other argument, because if your “side” makes stuff up…there’s nothing to defend. You’ve already lost.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 07:59:59 GMT

Lame… - Look, I basically can’t stand bestsellers and think most of them are a lot of meaningless fluff. But the way these guys try to take down these books is also just fluff, barely researched (and when it is researched, it’s as cherry-picked as the research of the authors) and just an unthinking blab-fest of all the twitter-appropriate progressively enlightened (to avoid using a loaded word) responses you would imagine. And they come across as so self-satisfied while offering their totally predictable takes. Trite, uninteresting, and often completely anachronistic critiques. I can’t bring myself to re-listen to gather examples, just wanted to say my piece on this since it’s gotten buzz.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 18:48:01 GMT

Thank you! - There’s a special place in my heart for the Outliers episode. The Airport Book of Airport Books. It’s been a hard task trying to explain the difference between correlation and causation whenever those baseless “facts” pop up in casual conversation. The wry humor keeps me laughing and though they lean into snark after a bit, I don’t particularly mind. These books have been peddled to the public, some for decades, as groundbreaking insightful texts. The hosts discuss the larger cultural contexts that made the books so attractive in the first place, so you need not take personal offense for not recognizing their flaws. To the strange transphobes — lol. You’re not a moderate and you’re also blindingly self-centered if you need to be “won over” when the topic is basic rights and liberties.
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 17:20:58 GMT

Uneven - First episode on Freakonomics was great well researched interesting. Others not as much not as much research. Like a lot of Podcasters they seem to feel that their personalities and insights are oh so wonderful. Also, they can’t seem to figure out whether they are investigative reviewers or activists. The the episode in the New York Times isn’t even about a book and makes a bunch of statements that aren’t even true if this trend continues will probably unsubscribe.
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 14:13:25 GMT

Love these hosts, love the topics! - Thank you for doing the Trans episode, can’t wait to hear the whole thing. As is evident from other reviews, this issue is really triggering even for otherwise-progressive individuals, and media outlets are fanning the flames of division and moral panic. Societal change can be scary, and no one wants to be seen as a bad person. I think that conservative politicians will gladly exploit any issue that makes people nervous and use it as a distraction tactic to line their pockets. Love you Michael Hobbes! First heard you on You’re Wrong About, one of the best podcasts ever. Love Maintenance Phase also. The other guy is new to me, but he’s also fantastic!
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 14:14:00 GMT

Not a Reply Guy! - Wow, the first review showing for your terrific podcast is some dude complaining about you covering The NY Times Transphobia situation by chastising that you’re “not winning over moderates.” I’ve never written a review before but that made me laugh and want to tell you that i love your podcast. Long time follower of Hobbes on You’re Wrong About and Maintenance Phase. Im a non-binary married with kids firefighter who lives in the South and I find you guys insightful, smart, funny and thorough. You brighten my day and broaden my perspective. Keep up the outstanding work.

Trans Episode - Enjoy your podcast, but disappointed in the most recent episode. Encourage you to use the same critical thinking skills on the trans issue that you apply to the books you review. Trans people make up .% of the population. Why so much coverage about an issue that affects so few? And obviously men competing against women in sports is crazy. A lot about this issue is crazy, including having year olds decide their own gender. Trans is the left wing version of trump. You don’t win over moderates with this kind of issue.

Makes me feel smarter and dumber at the same time, in the best possible way.. - Love. Reminds me to always be a critical thinker/reader. Makes me review my TBR list AND my current bookshelves. Also, challenges me to reevaluate my past self’s confidence in many pop-psych-self-help-books. Validates my past self’s frustrations, as a mental health professional and as a woman, when reading books like “Mars..” etc. Everyone was so on board with many of these types of publications, and I just wanted to scream. All jokes made by Peter and Michael seem to be, not aimed at the readers of these books, but at the authors of these books who have published, at best irresponsible material, and at worst harmful ideological viewpoints that support misogyny, racism, and even genocide. Dear listener, If you want the bonus material go to the Patreon app, the rest of the episodes are on Apple Podcasts. Would be nice to have them streaming into one location, but the same thing for YWA and MP- not sure why.

Great Show, Listened to the Early Stuff, Lest, Now Back - Initially listened to the show when it came out and enjoyed it during the early episodes. I thought the guests were great but something about it was lacking. To be honest, Shawn was disconnected. I slowly left the show. A few months to a year went by. My work buddy who has a similar background and common interest recommended the show. I told him I used to listened but fell off after awhile. Then I picked it back up about a month ago after a friend recommended it again to me (mid ish episode). And wow! So so different. I’ve heard that Shawn has had some life altering experiences in that time I guess. But man, this show is completely different. Still great guests. But Shawn seems so much more calm and in touch during the episodes. For me, it went from a guy interviewing a cool person but being removed during the episode, to a great host who extracts the questions the listeners are wondering. Don’t know what you did sir (I think it was psychedelic but don’t want to speak out of turn.) but what a show. The show is fluid, fun, hard questioning, moving at a great clip, and just an overall gem. I recommend it to everyone now, didn’t recommend before unless they had a connection to the guest. Anyways, be proud sir, you are making a high quality product as a high quality interviewer. Harder said than done

A Must Listen - Everyone should listen to this podcast and schools should require it. No matter what your political views are, Shawn gives us the opportunity to understand and appreciate the sacrifice of so many who have dedicated their lives for not only our freedom in the US but to those who have truly experienced the real evil and unjust around the world. Genuine heroes and patriots tell their stories and I feel honored to be raised in the same country that instills these kind of values. Support our tTroops and Veterans people.

Deep Dives into Redemption - I’ve burned my way through every episode in a fairly short period of time. The guests are remarkable, Ryan is a great host. Listening has been both heart-racing, heartbreaking and, ultimately, redemptive. As a former straight leg and after a career in service as an LEO, my eyes have been opened to the weights I carry, and the paths to healing that many who serve take.. Thanks for an amazing podcast. Looking forward to many many more. -TJ

All my respect to this guy and his guest - I’ve coped with ptsd and all that comes with it years. Impossible for me to express my gratitude to These guys who openly tell their stories. Beyond words. Y’all know what I’m saying. Just not feeling so alone and having someone say exactly what you’re going thru. You help as many brothers today as you ever did in the field. Peace to you. Thank you

Amazing - These podcasts by Shawn Ryan are just simply next level. The video editing, the intros, reels, are all just great skills from his team. The people he interviews are tier one level in their specialties and their stories are very unique and historic. When you peel back the curtains of tier one operators, you learn that they are just like everyone else and even have their own personal vulnerabilities that they expose to the audience for awareness. Doesn’t take away their capabilities. It only shows that even though they operate on a high field, they experience same issues just like anyone else. These people that have come to the show are very humble. Keep it up Shawn. This is doing a wealth of good for all of us veterans.

FAKE FEMINIST - Nick, you gave Gabi a hard time saying that it was a double standard that she ‘lured Zack into having sex,’ and then went on to say “imagine if it was the Bachelorette and a guy said we’ll see about that. Imagine how that lands.” IT SHOULD BE A DOUBLE STANDARD YOU IDIOT – men are stronger, larger, and more aggressive than women, with in women being sxually assaulted in their lifetime. If a man says “we’ll see about that” it’s much more dangerous/predatory than if a women says it. It’s ok that certain double standards exist because there’s different dynamic at play here. With all your comments about women and the way you dismiss your female cohosts/producers it’s clear that you are a misogynist. You pretend to be a feminist and we can all see right through it.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 21:11:24 GMT

What in the actual….. - Update /: When Nick was giving advice to the caller who wanted to ask out her coworker’s client from the salon….. Nick prompted a text. Aly and Amanda disagreed, and he just shut them down awkwardly that his advice “was the best and only way to text” this guy. He used to modify his advice based on their input. Now he basically was like “no they’re wrong don’t listen to them.” WHY have them on the show if they aren’t allowed to contribute? GAH I used to love this podcast so much and that’s why I keep updating my reviews in hopes Nick gets back on track for what it sounds like ALL of his listeners used to enjoy! I’m like super confused why I’m listening to a recap episode for the Bachelor and I’m almost halfway thru and it’s only been about Vanderpump? There were TWO Bachelor episodes this week, and between Hometowns and the WTA, there should have been more than enough discussion about ONE show to fill an episode. Respect the fans that don’t watch both and are coming to you for a BACHELOR recap, especially this close to the end of the season. Also respect the fans enough to read the reviews here because you are blatantly ignoring them at this point.

Another Subscription? - I enjoy listening to this podcast, and the bantering can be entertaining. I’m not a fan of how we now have to pay to hear some of the episodes. I hardly want to pay for the streaming services that I have, and they several shows and movies and you want your fans to pay half of that to listen to one show thats talk about advice and recaps? Obviously your passion isn’t is in it anymore, just greed.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 12:16:46 GMT

“As someone who’s been in that world” - Hey guys, did you know Nick was on the show? I had no idea! Thank god he’s here to remind us times an episode. If I hear “as someone who’s been in that world” one more time as a defense for his misogynistic arguments, I’m unsubscribing. What a smug, arrogant know-it-all. Nick has had multiple guests give their opinion on the Kat situation and each time he digs in and has to have the last word. It’s OK to have differing opinions. It’s not OK to invalidate someone else’s.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 22:58:28 GMT

Hypocritical Narcissist: The Podcast - First off, all Nick ever does on this podcast is lie and grandstand— point blank. He literally has a Patreon where he rewatched every episode of his season and interviewed all the women on it just to make a quick buck. Literally no other lead has rehashed their season as much as Nick. Then he has the audacity to criticize other leads for continuing to talk about their season a few months after it ends. The definition of hypocrisy. Second off, having a string of failed relationships doesn’t make you a relationship expert. More the opposite. The fact that people actually take relationship advice from this middle-aged man and his child bride is sad. And finally, I take solace in the fact that Nick has no relevancy outside of the bachelor and that that fact torments his every waking moment. His podcasting career ends the moment the show does and he knows it.

Entertaining - Only leaving a review because I saw all of the negative reviews & wanted to contribute some positivity. PSA- If you hate a podcast so much that you want to give it star, just stop listening and move on. Ugh! People these days. I love to listen to your episodes. Hearing the male perspective from Nick is always very informative and interesting. It’s also nice to hear you all talk about reality tv tea in a trauma-informed way. As a viewer, it’s easy to lose sight of the person behind the drama, but you all do a great job at humanizing people who have made bad choices, while also holding them accountable. PS - Can you do an episode about emotional intelligence and how it relates to gender? Nick recently mentioned that a year old Bachelorette is more mature than a year old Bachelor, and I’d love to hear more about Nick’s journey with emotional intelligence and why he thinks men mature slower. Great job everyone! Some of us are beyond happy w the content - keep it up!

Enjoyable banter - I’ve been enjoying the discourse for a while now, fun to listen to on my walks. However I’m going crazy that nick continues to mispronounce Ariana’s name even after everyone else is saying it over and over on the episode correctly. This is the second podcast I’ve heard nick mispronounce someone’s name the entire time even when others pronounce correctly. Gotta get the names right, it’s a respectful and considerate thing ;) Otherwise great podcast!

Rozzi - Ableist Comment - Regular listener and this week’s guest, Rozzi made an ableist comment that I think was super disrespectful. She’s talking about freezing her eggs and says she’s so glad her eggs “have been tested and are all healthy so she knows for sure she won’t ever have to ‘make a choice’” I.e. she’s glad she doesn’t have to worry about having a disabled child. Hinting that you’re happy you won’t have to abort your child if they’re disabled is ableist. That language is so so so damaging to the disabled community and to parents of disabled children. It’s just gross and offensive.

Great podcast, but please cut to the topic - As the title suggests, the editing needs to be trimmed… a lot. I found Nick’s podcast and wanted to specifically listen to Raven’s episode. (I had never listened to his podcast prior) I saw that the episode is over HOURS long and thought, ‘Awesome! Must be a great chat with Raven.’ But Raven’s part came after MINUTES of small talk between Nick and the co-hosts (which I skipped mins in). And then after Raven’s part was an excruciatingly long listener call who didn’t know when to end the conversation/call and kept talking in circles about her situation. I didn’t even finish the episode because I couldn’t listen anymore. My goodness, I’ll listen to a couple more episodes, but this first episode wasn’t a strong impression (though I did like Raven’s segment). Editing aside, I enjoyed Nick as a host in this particular episode. I’ll have to listen to a few more to have a concrete opinion about this podcast.

Editing - I really enjoy this podcast I listen to every show and even have subscribed to the new upcoming content. However, the editing of these shows recently has been so frustrating. Parts are repeating, it’s choppy, and has poor flow. I find myself thinking I accidentally clicked a button but really the editing is poor and chunks are repeating. Especially if people are going to pay for content, there needs to be more effort put into the details of the content being out to consumers.

Fun and inspiring! - I love all forms of visual design, and this is hands-down the best podcast for interior design. The hosts have a great dynamic, and they are brilliant at painting a picture with their words. I feel like I've seen all of the beautiful homes they describe. I especially loved both episodes of "Design through the Decades", and the House of Harrington episode. My home is styled more beautifully because of the lessons from this podcast. Thank you!

Next level interior design advice - I love this podcast! I’ve learned a lot from Sue, Jess and Cory. The cabinets podcast was a lifesaver. We are renovating a Spanish revival home and had thought knotty pine would meld seamlessly. Thank goodness I realized our home would have looked like a cabin! These three are funny and knowledgeable. Thank you all for taking the time to record the podcast- you are all awesome!

Coming from a background with a career in multiple design areas, now in construction project management to currently working my way into lead interior designer for a wonderful small business in Chicago suburbs. My commute to & from work usually consists of listening to your podcast. Thank you for putting your beautiful work into the universe & sharing it with us!

Tone deaf - I really love love following Alice Lane interiors, the shop, the podcast etc…it’s all beautiful work produced by clearly very talented women. But ladddddddies I can’t count the amount of times I've listened, winced, and thought “did they really just say that?” From the completely inaccurate and offensive use of the phrase “me too” (note: it’s not about a cafe rio) to the most recent episode which stated “we’ve never seen women marching in the streets and distrusting our leaders like they were in the ’s” …. Well, it all just comes across as very out-of-touch. I personally don’t mind the “elitist” side of the podcast (they’re allowed to speak to a millionaire market and there is more than enough diy/affordable home content out there ) but the frequent misogyny-enabling undertones is disappointing and I think the brand could be eeeeeven more successful if they looked a bit more outside the utah/lds mindset.

Mixed messages, poor use of language in an otherwise interesting show - . The use of "like" times per thought makes those speaking sound and seem so much less intelligent than they probably are. I don't get why these podcasters don't clean up their speech to avoid sounding "like" uneducated teenagers. . Please stop embarrassing yourself with the "capitalism BAD" schtick. You and your guests epitomize the benefits of it-and what is your suggested alternative? You willing to make a lot less, or even shut down, in a different type of economy? Doubtful. That said: Episode I'm writing this post-listen wasn't informative, as in "how to get there,"but it was I very inspiring, and interesting. Considering my age, and that I have two daughters near age of the guest, I admired even just that she had succeeded so young, to this point. Interviewers questions were concise and very clear. Not too many little asides about herself, to try to relate or clarify (which rarely works, for people who aren't at a Malcolm Gladwell level)or taking the speaker's answers into too many other lanes--excellent. My only "eh" is with the podcaster's "whaaa whaaa" factor. Blame men, blame society, lash out at the very thing you are earning from (capitalism), but don't stand firm or clear at all about your experiences and how you rose above those. The whining about capitalism is laughable here, as referenced above. This woman speaks to those who are successful--and who she, as far as seems reasonable--has a job obtaining info from to help her listeners become successful... She bemoans capitalism...yet what is her plan for the alternative? Her guest talks about making millions, how much goes to taxes, how people need to stand up for what they're worth, while considering taxes and other expenses, then later essentially says capitalism bad. It's such a mixed message, with no intelligent or concise back-up. Debating another listen, bc this guest was very interesting, and others are sure to be, also -but bc of the podcaster herself, it'll be a tough call

Disappointing - So.. when do we start talking about money? The podcast is advertised as letting you in on the secrets of the wealthy- getting tips and very specific information about how to navigate the financial world and manage money better. But it’s mostly the guests rambling about job experiences and being able doing what they love and make money. But none of it is actually helpful or tangible. In the first episode, it was so frustrating to hear the host ask specific questions about the guest's income, only for the guest to give a very vague answer. Obviously, the host is not setting clear expectation with the guests about the goal of the podcast- to create transparency about finances. Or maybe the host is not good at drawing information from the guests. Either way this podcast is a disappointment and a waste of time.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:35:21 GMT

Out of touch with the average person - I want to like the show, but the first two episodes are very disappointing! The description talks about “how your neighbor affords his boat” and then the first two episodes are a dominatrix and a spoiled journalist who has never made less than $k/year. REALLY?? First episode is clickbait: find a person with a financial domination fetish, and they just send you money. Reality is that this woman is a dominatrix, works super hard, and has found a super small slice of people with that financial fetish. The other episode is a very well paid journalist complaining about his childhood in “poverty of choice” and how he would rather make $, a year working for himself. No kidding. A lot of us make less than that and don’t have all the options he did. I don’t know what I expect from Pushkin anyway.

Used to enjoy this podcast - I miss the depth of insights and analysis of the prior line up of MF podcasts (in particular - industry focus). The analysts barely dig into the details and often it seems like they didn’t even prepare for the show and are just winging it (I stop listening whenever Bill Mann talks). Many times after a show I realize that I literally got nothing out of it. The show has been dumbed down and is trying to do too much all at once. For the average retail investor who buys stocks, there are better shows out there.

Partisan Guest on Mar - The Friday March , episode with Nell Minow ranting about how people against the new ESG rules are spreading misinformation was just blatant political partisanship. Her propaganda that anyone opposed to ESG was just a minion of oil companies and the Koch brothers is completely inaccurate and quite a disturbing distortion. There is a reason why there is bipartisan concern about how ESG has swelled the the financial world. I am disappointed, usually Motley Fool does better than this. I'm not a Republican or Democrat but I don't like the idea that my financial advisor would invest my money based on their political preferences which is how ESG has been implemented and marketed. Motley Fool should do a better job balancing conversations around the ESG controversy instead of inviting partisan guests to give their opinion as the only voice. If Motley Fool gets too ideologically driven (I know many of the Fool staff are already quite liberal, but I don't know of any conservatives) then I can't trust your stock recommendations and I will cancel my subscription.

Thanks for the love, many blessings. Anytime you talk about me, your show ratings skyrocket into the ceiling of the firmament! Honestly, not a terrible show today, whoops, I take that back, when Jonathan referenced anal intercourse in the same breath as his own daughter, WOW! I honestly can’t believe half the stuff you say.

I have also been researching more about frequencies and wondering how to fix my mind from damages from “ back in the day”.

Wolfe, who is also at the time of your recording not our Governor. Governor Shapiro is now our Governor, Fetterman was elected to be a Senator for Pennsylvania. Your female guest is so adamant that her information is correct, this is why our world is the way it is, everyone can now be an armchair “expert” because they have a Chromebook and a USB microphone. I was really getting into your podcast but, even if you correct the information later in the cast you never even took the time to edit the podcast and correct your very wrong and ignorant information.

They have conversations with each other and seemingly disagree on some important topics regarding their own belief systems. But they do it with RESPECT and and an open mind. We should all strive to discuss these important topics in the way that they do.

There are many out there, but Rev. Michael is able zoom in with laser focus expanding your consciousness, your perspective to understand yourself and reintroduce you to your true self and if you sincerely are willing to do the work you literally are able to evolve exponentially. I always learn something new then put my spin on it!!!! His voice is so soothing.

Smart, and uniformly woke (in the pejorative sense of the word.) - There's no nuance or gray-area here- these are the effeminate, Prius-driving he/theys your dad warned you about. I like to listen to things that don't align with my own worldview or values; I think it's interesting and healthy. Don't get me wrong: these humans are good at talking at microphones. Pretty sure the studio is a place where a podcaster jizzes in his pants every time the South African says "late stage capitalism" or "epistemology." That guy loves to hear himself talk, and boy, is he always right (just ask him.) The takes are uniformly extremely far left; no surprises there, and the politics are left of Bernie Sanders. They know all the notable philosophers, but I doubt they can patch drywall or fix a broken garbage disposal. The cultier episodes can be interesting, mostly, because they lack the wild political commentary. The political episodes are interesting, because who even thinks like this? Lots of unpleasant accents, lots of "communism could work." Give them a listen, anyway. It will confirm your pre-existing biases if you're a victim of society, and make you a better debater if you're not.

Has its Merits, inflated Egos are the Downfall - I was initially thrilled with this podcast when it launched, devouring every episode immediately and being so impressed with the hosts’ insights, research, and compelling take on the problematic forms of influence in the wellness-sphere. Through the years however, the show has divulged into a mostly ego-centric, masterbatory-style long form in which the hosts mostly get off on their own voices and perpetually implied superiority. The points are still important, but of how many hours of our listening and attention these three cis, white, heterosexual men genuinely believe their takes deserve is pretty inflated. The past six months, I can barely hang into individual episodes through the end. Unfollowing, but do hope they’ll learn to edit themselves with the same critical ear they extend to those around them in the future.

I found a home - I just found the Conspirituality podcast. As a retired biologist whose first degree was in the Philosophy of Religion and who at one time was a zen lay brother and who is a lifelong atheist and skeptic, this podcast hits on many themes I have chewed on for decades. I especially like the compassionate, empathetic tone that the skeptical community often lacks while still calling out the misinformation and pseudoscience so prevalent in our world.

stars, one of my very favorite podcasts - I’ve listened to every episode, but was just turned on to the podcast in fall of . Very funny, well researched and intelligent. As a black queer woman, a mother of a cis black boy, a yoga teacher(all limbs), an artist and a human I just think this resource is so valuable. Ultimately it teaches me compassion and critical thinking, even when I just want to float away into a generalized cloud of Siddhis and Japa and Asana and whatever else. I wrote a review today, though, because episode is one of the best podcast episodes I’ve ever heard. Ever. I just wish people in America (and beyond), but starting in America could sit, in silence, and just listen to Beau. His wisdom, his humor, his knowledge and the fierce compassion of the interviewer could change so much. He cares about liberation for ALL of us. All, even those who espouse hate towards him and other marginalized people. Thank you for this episode, and all of them really. stars for sure.

Personal Growth - I never thought I was someone who played into dangerous misinformation before I listened to this podcast. I’d save an infographic on Pinterest about “herbs for women” and be redirected to a website promoting gender essentialism and EMF blockers, go to yoga classes claiming to “detox my organs” and even believed certain diets made me more “spiritually enlightened.” These beliefs were preached by people who were profiting off of my ignorance and not based in rigorously peer reviewed scientific evidence. The guys never make me feel stupid or judged for having bought into it, and I’m on my own mini de-radicalization journey! Keep up the good work, and thanks for keeping me company.

LOVE THE GALS - This is one of my favorite podcasts & I look forward to it coming out every week! Anytime I can watch the YouTube I love to stream it because I feel like I’m just hanging out with friends. The conversations are interesting & I love when they have guests because it’s always someone I’m excited to hear from & always learn something! Definitely give this pod a listen! Brooke & Danielle are such great friends, it’s really fun to listen to them.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 22:08:36 GMT

Annoying - It has gotten to the point where the sound of Danielle’s voice alone makes my blood boil. Brooke may be close-minded and opinionated but at least she has an opinion. Danielle gets all of her thoughts directly from tik tok and simply re-phrases everything Brooke says to try and make it sound like an original thought. It’s infuriating. Also I counted ads in the most recent episode, and I didn’t even finish it. If you want to listen to two conceited “influencers” talk about how stressed they are about their week of blowouts and party’s and give the same life advice that can be heard on a Hannah Montana re-run, this is the podcast for you. News flash ladies, beginning your rant about how hard your privileged life is with “disclaimer I’m so grateful for my job.. but”, does not make it less out of touch. If the hardest thing you do in a day is get up at am to go to a spin class, your life is not hard. And for that reason, I’m out.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 23:19:32 GMT

Out of touch beyond belief - In the most recent episode, there were ads. Let that sink in, ads in a podcast that was an hour and a half long. I used to enjoy these girls back in college when they were also in school and doing somewhat relatable things. As they have gotten older and lived in nyc they have gotten so out of touch it is painful to watch/listen to them. They have actively said they don’t read the podcast reviews because of negativity, but if they actually spent time to take a look they would get constructive criticism and improve. They are very clearly money hungry and incredibly materialistic. They consume, consume, consume and lack much self awareness. I don’t know if their managers read reviews but they better because turning a blind eye is causing them more problems. This podcast and these girls social media careers won’t last forever and I think they’re going to have a very hard time adjusting to “the real world”
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:23:27 GMT

It’s Giving ‘Unrelatable’ - I used to consume a lot of content from Brooke and Danielle, but over time I have gradually stopped watching their content on a regular basis. The main reason is the lack of relatability, the consumerism, and as many other reviews have indicated, their content being focused around nail appointments, blow outs, infrared sauna appointments, and other basic influencer things. It’s a very privileged lifestyle and it’s hard for me to willingly take in. Yes, it’s an enviable lifestyle, but I don’t want to support it by listening to their podcast. Please consider adding into your lives more philanthropy, volunteering, other activities (not a book club) that benefit others and ultimately yourself as opposed to product pushing.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:24:28 GMT

Out of touch - I’ll be honest, listening to this podcast makes me feel bad about myself. Not just from a “I’m not in this tax bracket” way, but in a way that there is so much going on in the world and I’m spending my time listening to these girls talk about spending hundreds of dollars in a day and getting their news from Snapchat . I’m a young career woman who tries to balance a full time job, graduate school, self care on a budget and think critically about my consumption and community involvement. I used to enjoy listening to have this time to unplug but it has gotten so narcissistic and into a bubble of white womanhood that I just can’t anymore. Safe to say I’ve outgrown it - which is a good thing

Incredible Storytelling - I have been a huge fan of Dimension for years. These four storytellers certainly do not disappoint. The chemistry between Brennan Lee Milligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson is off the charts. I am so happy that they are all sharing a platform to build a world that we can all enjoy. Brennan Lee Mulligan has honed his craft as a Game Master for years, and his ability to listen to the narrative beats while managing the creative chaos will always be a highlight for me. Erika Ishii throws herself into her character and her background in voice acting allows her really help a listener imagine the world. Her energy always moves the story forward. Aabria Iyengar is an accomplished Game Master in her own right, but her ability to play powerful characters rooted in vulnerability is something that really sets her apart in this space. Lou Wilson’s gregarious passion for the genre is infectious as always. He has the amazing ability to find a joke or a comedic beat, while always bringing it back to the story that they’re all creating together. Finally, the soundtrack for this podcast deserves a shoutout as well. It does an awesome job of setting the pace for the entire enterprise. This is a space for people who love great stories.

A Masterclass In World Building, Story Telling, and Character - Anyone who like TTRPG content, anyone who enjoys high fantasy, anyone who enjoys engaging fiction, anyone who has ever enjoyed telling a story by a fire, anyone who has fond memories of summers spent running through fields will enjoy this podcast. It has only just begun but it is destined to go down in history as one of the best audio experiences ever created. Even if you have never heard the names Brennan Lee Mulligan, Aabria Iyengar, Lou Wilson, or Erika Ishii (which if you haven’t there’s this wonderful little thing called Dropout where you can find hundreds of hours of content involving them, both TTRPG related and not) you will fall in love with their dynamic, their stories, and their characters. I highly suggest subscribing to the Patreon to listen to the Children’s Adventure. I don’t think I’ve ever felt more invested in the lives of fictional characters than I feel about Ame, Suvi, and Eursulon. This is the sound of Worlds Beyond Number.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 18:42:36 GMT

Immersive Storytelling - The sound design is truly immersive and the scoring is beautiful! I already feel like I live in this world. I want to live in this world and sit with these characters for days. This is only the kind of project that comes from a team that really loves and trusts each other. It’s incredibly clear. If anyone is on the fence about hopping on the Patreon, it’s incredibly worth it, just for the children’s adventure alone, but I know there will be even more incredible things to come. This is a game, sure. But it’s moreso a story told through improv with people who know each other’s creative minds intimately. I don’t think there’s anything as good as that out there. I’m so so excited to hear the adventure continue.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 18:02:36 GMT

Beautiful, hilarious, listen!! - I was so excited for this podcast to come out, my expectations were sky high. Sky. High. Four of my favorite role players/DMs telling long stories together?! Amazing. The only way they could live up to my high hopes would be if they literally spun gold. My friends, they spun platinum and sent it straight to my ears. I envy you if you haven’t yet listened, you have the joy of the first listen to look forward to. Also, join the Patreon and listen to the Children’s Adventure. The full episodes are already up. It’s heartwrenchingly heartwarmingly hilariously lovely.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 18:02:19 GMT

The creators will never see this but... - This is one of the most moving pieces of media I've ever consumed, and I mean that with my whole heart. These folks will forever outdo themselves with each project they make. As someone who struggles with graphophobia, it means just that much more when I say these people and this story inspires me to write my own. It is healing, it is bursting with life, it is beautiful beyond means: it is worlds beyond number!

TTRPG storytelling MADE FOR AUDIO - As someone who has listened to hundreds of hours of TTRPG that was made for video, I now know what I was missing. The storytelling in this single episode is brilliant, but what makes this exceptional is the production, the soundtrack, and the thousand details that you can only hear. This recalls an era of broadcast storytelling on radio, and I encourage you all to gather round and immerse yourselves in the story.
Sun, 12 Mar 2023 15:17:31 GMT

Aurally piercing my heart - What this group of people created is a wholly incredible podcast experience. They recommended using your best headphones to listen, and as someone who typically listens in car, this suggestion is correct. While my car is fine, the depth of audio engineering that goes into these episodes can be missed with out the full attention that headphones allow for. Best first episode of a podcast ever.
Sun, 12 Mar 2023 15:08:31 GMT

My New Go To - Seeing the creators behind Worlds Beyond Number I knew I was going to be in for something amazing. But these have really outdone even my expectations!! The world is so easy to get lost in, the characters are dynamic and lovable, the story is captivating and all wrapped up in the beautiful voices and acting of some of the best TTRPG players in the game. I can’t wait to listen to this adventure (and the many future) for years to come!!!
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 19:16:41 GMT

Storytelling at its finest - I originally heard about this podcast because I’m a fan of the cast from some of their other work. Knowing what they are capable of, I had high hopes going into the first episode, and was not disappointed! In fact, they blew me away, even beyond my expectations. The characters are well-defined, vividly described by their actors and expertly played in evocative scenes that introduce us to them. The setting and all the other characters are described and played by the game master, indeed a master of his craft. Yes, this is a Dungeons & Dragons podcast, but if that make you think “oh, not for me” I’ll ask you to give it a chance. D&D isn’t the reason or the star here, it is just a tool to tell a story in audio form, as much as the mics and earphones. The last - minutes alone are a masterclass in how to do audio storytelling - the acting, the revelations, the stakes being raised for the story to come, hints of unrevealed mysteries being introduced, and the sound ramping up behind it all, practically a character in its own right. Am I overselling it? Maybe. But it is REALLY good. If you like actual plays, if you like audio fiction, if you like epic fantasies, if you’re curious what playing with the limits of the medium looks like, or if you’re just looking for something new, this is worth checking out. Give it a chance.

Thank you - Coming straight here after finishing the Children’s Adventure (which absolutely wrecked my emotions - friendship is magic ) During an IG live, I’m pretty sure the gang said you don’t have to listen to the CA to enjoy the main story, but my completionist spirit (and my absolute adoration for the gang) would not allow me to jump right into the main story. Those episodes alone are absolutely worth the Patreon in addition to the fireside chats (and all the other goodies that I’m sure they’ll post there) the amount of times I gasped, wept, or full-on sobbed is ridiculous, but that proves just how good this entire production is (nvm the fact that I have the emotional capacity of a bean ) That being said, I truly hope everyone who is into not just the game aspect of DND but also the fantastically moving and profound roleplay will give Worlds Beyond Number a chance, because the way in which these storytellers and producers weave words and audio mixing is pure art, and it is a joy that everyone deserves to experience. Thank you so so much to everyone involved in this production. Truly, your storytelling inspires me

A world that deserves way more then five stars in the sky. - I’ve been growing up with this quartet of catastrophe for so long now and I’m so excited to see all of them in a podcast together. Brennan and Lou are some of the best dnd players and DMs ever and Erika and Aabria are some of the funniest and most creative people of the internet. I’m so excited to see what comes next and can’t wait to be along for the journey with you all.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 16:43:20 GMT

Wonderful podcast can’t recommend it enough! - The sound, score, and story from these masters of improv will guarantee a delight for you! I have followed this group of story tellers for years in their various other projects and yet again they have found a way to bring a new spin to this medium. I can’t recommend it enough to new listeners who want to explore the wonderful art of story telling through table top games and maybe learn about the different avenues that could take you, then listen to this podcast!

But it’s really good and I hope you make more episodes! this is a amazing podcast, so good! you will make a amazing podcast!! I love it how you guys work together and make a good team! As they say, Teamwork makes dreamwork! amazing! Love u guys!

My all time favorite podcast - Unanswerable podcast question: if the island is in the Atlantic Ocean, how do the bots get back and forth to Juneau so quickly? Are the hover boards superhero speeds? GZM creators and writers make great shows and this is the best. The storyline is full of suspense and twists and remains intriguing/compelling on multiple listens. SM has something for everyone—kids and adults. And yes Chris Tarry, the sound design is awesome and there are at least four people who like the sound design discussions! PEACE, LOVE AND OBOES!

Mailbag! - Hey! I have two mailbag questions. First, is the person who played Brinleigh mom Callie in Iowa Chapman? It sounds like the same person. Second, is the recording where Cyrus said “No matter what happens between the two of us, Brinleigh should always feel like she has a safe place at Holiday Corp.” the thing that he “sent her in case something went wrong” in episode one? Thank you so much! Superfan Jade

Six Minutes is SO GOOD YOU GUYS OMG - Hey GZM! I’m writing from the unanswerable Apple Podcasts for a couple reasons. First, easily the best podcast ever. Some great themes about found family and teamwork. Second, how long will Out of Time be? Will it be around the same length as the earlier seasons? Cool if you answered on Rewind. Lastly, please please please make Six Minutes a TV show! There are so many great things about it that would be so incredibly cinematic. By the way, if you do, I want in, preferably playing Cyrus or Badger. Thanks gang! (Im .)
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 19:44:42 GMT

This is the best podcast I’ve ever listened to - Well, I haven’t listened to that many podcasts but still if I did this would be my favorite. I haven’t subscribed to wonder plus kids so the first episode was just released for me. I immediately watched it and I’m so sad I have to wait for the next one to come out. I would definitely recommend this to mystery lovers!! Cant wait to find out what happens in season three!

Love Six Minutes! - Six Minutes: Six Minutes is just INCREDIBLE. Like, woah! My favorite character is either Brynleigh or Casey. Brynleigh and Cyrus are so chaotic and funny together, it makes me laugh. They remind me of a couple from my favorite TV Show, “Perfect Strangers”. Remy’s Life Interrupted: This show is AMAZING. I have been with Gen-Z and Remy the whole way! Now, I know it’s not real, but it doesn’t bother me. Nothing Gen-Z makes is real. But I like to imagine in my head that it’s real. It makes it more fun and exciting. Like, what is the other me like on the other side of the Whittier Gate? Or me on the other side of the Rem Gate? Btw, thanks for the shoutout, Remy! I am inspired by Lin-Manuel Miranda! I’m glad you could shout him out. Peace, Love and Oboes, everyone! (And Hamilton!) -Carol Marvellette

Awesome podcast - I looove this podcast it’s awesome I listen to this when ever I get the chance and I’m totally buying that sweatshirt that says owned by Whittier or the I am flash card or both .I love the crazy turn over when they found out what holiday is I’m doing doing spoilers but it’s pretty crazy. I also had like a frickin heart attack when I found out you guys sold six minutes stuff like I literally died! I’m trying to get enough money to buy it. I found this podcast at school when my teacher played it and now I can’t stop listening to it like I listen to it everyday and I could literally be birdie in season I know all of her lines! I love herminie it’s so cool that there’s a robot in the family. Also when Cyrus got to the island when he got kidnapped like in episodes I was like wait when did Cyrus get here? then I had to re-Lisen to them. The cloud is a beautiful thing . AnywaysI love this podcast. My favorite part of the podcast is when Brignligh says a “wise person once said hating yourself for what you aren’t and start focusing on what you are. I are so many things.” Anyways peace,love and, oboes. Ps. Cam is my favorite character of all time I love her. update I got the owned by Whittier sweatshirt and I’m obsessed I wear it at school and no one knows what it is so it’s awesome my still trying to convince my E.L.A teacher to listen to it. But still cam is my all time FAVORITE character I don’t know why but when she gives her her cortex is so nice of her . Love your work! also people complain about the ads I’ve gotten so used to the ads I can say each and every line so I don’t mind the ads. They let me learn what just happened so ya. Also that ad that Jess . does for Cupid and the reaper she says “maybe listen to it with someone special” and it’s like “OH ya I COULd do that” but then I remember I have no one . Ps I listen to this with my sister but she gets too crazy and someone cough cough me gets hurt. Spot the difference Easy: Normal: Kinda hard: Impossible: Love the work Keep it up also please please oh please can you do a season two for Iowa Chapman and the last dog I’m begging you it changed my life

Hooked on RIH - I can’t get enough of this podcast! I am becoming an addict. I am a bit of a history buff, but I am learning so much from Tom and Dominic. I have a particular interest, however, in why Constantine became a Christian. I know from my Catholic school days that Constantine had a vision or something like that and then adopted Christianity, but certainly there must be more to it than that. Is there an episode which delves into this? I looked through the podcast history, and I don’t find one specifically. Is there an older podcast which expands on this topic?
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 23:29:54 GMT

I love history - These two guys do a wonderful job together. They’re funny, knowledgeable and are at their best when talking about ancient and/or European history. Unfortunately, when they get into American history/politics they seem to only do their research from Wikipedia, CNN or BBC broadcasts. It would be nice if they would put as much work into balanced research as they clearly do in their other work. By the way I especially liked the episodes related to the World Cup countries. Very nicely done. By the way, I’m a big fan of Tom Holland‘s book, “dominion“.

Don’t subscribe to the Rest Is History Club with Apple Podcasts - I love this podcast and subscribed to The Rest Is History Club using the Apple Podcasts app. I remember hearing that you can’t get the information you need to join the chat community through the Apple podcast app, but you can get it by sending an email to The Rest Is History Club. I sent one email weeks ago and another one a couple of weeks ago and have not received a response. I believe that there is another way to subscribe. I enjoy how much Dom and Tom talk about their family vacations. I’m jealous of all the cool places they visit. Bonus episodes that include what-I-did-during-my-vacation segments could be named “The Rest Is Holiday.” I’d like to see an episode on the rise and fall of communism. No countries were communist in and then more and more countries went communist and then the number of communist countries dwindled to a handful. I couldn’t find the high water mark of communism on the web. I remember growing up that communism felt like a real threat to the US. There must have been a year when it reached a peak. I’d like to know when that was, what caused communism to grow and what led it to shrink. - Dominicus Hollandius

Brilliant! (said as in the classic Guinness beer advertisement) - One of the best history podcasts on iTunes! I'm going through all of them right now!! One caveat. The "Classics" episode with Mary Beard. I can't believe how unlistenable this was with Mary Beard's constant stammering, stuttering, stumbling and spluttering over her words!!! Just split it out and answer the questions!! JEEZ. We get it, you're smart and clever but this constant searching for the ultimate word or answer was BRUTAL!! She was so bad that it effected Tom Holland's speech pattern!! Then I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm but he finishes the interview with "Mary beard, you are so eloquent"!!! No SHE WAS NOT!!! Note to self: never listen to Mary Beard's audio books with her as the reader!! Love all the other subjects/podcasts so far!!

Rationalizing slavery for Spanish - Kinda sad you try and rationalize the Spanish enslaving people and saying they didn’t want to do it and they did it out of necessity and that the Catholic Church by their standard is against the idea of slavery when they were the biggest perpetrators of oppression and slavery out of anyone in recent history…… just sad to try and brainwash people because of personal feelings.

You are better than that Lindsay - I have listened to you from day one, years ago, and this podcast is one of my favorite. I have recommended you to many and no one has ever come back to me saying anything negative. I have a pretty good idea how you lean politically, but I never cared because you have always been moderate and unbiased in your story telling. Sadly, you finally misstepped with your latest guest on Oklahoma City Bombing. That guy was exactly the problem we have today and the extreme polarization we have. In his own narcissism he didn’t even realize he was complaining about himself. I expect better of you Mr. Graham and I am confident you will cover everyone’s view point fairly going forward like you always have. I just assume this is a bump in the road and a learning experience going forward. You still earn your stars... please keep it that way. Thank you.

Man, it would have been great except… - I have listened for a long time, and normally enjoy the show. This last season could have been one of the best yet, until the last episode. That last episode with one of the most left leaning “authors” completely obliterated any good I could say about the previous four episodes. Stop bringing full left or liberal people to interview or comment. Try to be more moderate, and have people with a more balanced approach to commentary. It is so odd that a season about the divisiveness in the country, was followed up by an interview with someone that fuels that division by trade. If not, you will soon be alienating long time listeners.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 08:53:16 GMT

Season - “Every Scandal begins with a lie.” This is the start of the tease for this program. The Oklahoma Bombing was a horrific tragedy. This series is quite good at telling the story but slides into the narrative the government has pushed. Then interviews “experts” with farther left leaning views. I challenge the producers to do series’s on the Waco Texas standoff, and the Ruby Ridge standoff.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 20:45:42 GMT

Long time listener - Sadly I’ve decided to move on to something less polarizing. Didn’t expect to see that here. Your last interview was just another excuse to blame half the country for the acts of one evil minded criminal. We go from the bombing of the Murrow Federal building to vaccine and mask skeptics. Keep it up, as my mother would say. Alienate more of your listeners. Certainly you are free to do that just as I am free to stop listening.

I love this podcast so much that I am a Patron - This is, hands down, my favorite podcast. It's the only one I'll regularly listen to and find something new to think about. I love the deep dive format about a wide variety of topics. Sarah and her guests research their topics deeply while going down paths that also tickle my weird brain. The conversational tone between intelligent people means that they're not speaking down to the audience, all while sprinkling clever turns of phrase and unique ideas like wildflower seeds. What takes it over the top is Sarah's active kindness, brave vulnerability, and compulsion to understand the humanity that drives people to the situations and decisions they make has played a huge part of my emotional healing. I'm learning to be kinder to myself through her podcasts and conversations with such smart people. It's beautiful and I'm thankful for such a special work of art that has brought new ideas of emotional bravery into my world.

Sarah Marshall is Everything - This podcast has been my favorite for awhile now. Sarah Marshall is clever, witty, and just down right intelligent. Her perspective is unique yet always makes sense in the end even if I don’t always completely agree I always appreciate what she has to say. I also appreciate her retelling of events that captured America in a way that it’s be hard to hear anywhere else. Her research is incredible and you can truly tell how much she cares about topic. I wish I had her brain!! I’m always entertained, laughing out loud, and completely captivated! If you don’t mind and respect someone else having a different opinion or hot take and are open minded to having your world view changed you will Love this podcast!

Vivarium: millennial cannibalization - Sarah’s refreshing commentary is exactly what years old like me wants. It’s so soothing & entertaining to hear Sarah’s voice & giggling. So sexy. Reminds me of party days at Chico State. Profanity is no problem for me. When my parents mention Fleetwood Mac, OJ Simpson, Martha Stewart, Karen Carpenter, I tune them out. What do they know? I don’t trust old people. I trust social influencers to explain historical events. It doesn’t matter if they rewrite history or don’t fact check as long as they’re consistent. God, truth & morality don’t exist in our postmodern world. Why should they? Ends justify the meanies.

Soothingly sympathetic - Like many reviews I find YAWA a special, momentary salve for the loneliness, uncertainty, and human misunderstanding gripping my world and likely many others. This podcast hits my exact age group () and I enjoy deeply relating to both hosts in different ways as a cishet man. The sympathy the hosts show in diving into some of the less understood pop-culture moments of our lives serves as a good reminder to be kind to others and to keep an open mind. Surprisingly, it was the Jessica Simpson series that got me into this podcast. Hearing Sarah’s warm and buzzy (and sexy if I can add) timbre of voice, in detail, lay out a story I thought I knew was almost revelatory.

Show Has Lost Its Personality - This used to be my favorite podcast. I adore Sarah, but this show just isn’t the same without Michael. I was hoping Sarah just needed to find her footing without him, but it’s clear this show will never be as good as it was. I love Sarah on You Are Good, but the topics she’s doing here and the guest hosts she’s had on are so painfully BORING. It’s like an SNL parody of an NPR broadcast. It’s time for better guests, better topics or just time to mercifully end it.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 23:57:55 GMT

Used to be SO good - Since Michael Hobbes left, it has become increasingly difficult to listen to this. In the place of his really smart and funny commentary you have basic boring snark from Sarah Marshall. She’s just… not that smart, doesn’t have particularly interesting ideas, and that’s why this podcast is almost never very good, except when she has a really amazing guest who can carry the show (like the one on preppy clothes). Most of the time she’s saying something not that funny, that doesn’t make much sense, or is super obvious, and then laughing as if she’s just said the most brillant funny quirky thing ever.
Sat, 04 Mar 2023 14:35:26 GMT

Thematically Uneven - Love the research, love many of the cohosts, and LOVE most of the subject matter. However, lately I’m not getting what I’m “wrong about” with a lot of the subjects. For instance, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours - the episode was just a semi-deep-dive into the facts that most people familiar with the subject already know. It was interesting, and not at all surprising. I’m currently listening to the Baby Jessica episode and it’s the same thing - anyone who’s had a brush with the subject will not learn anything contrary to the facts, though may learn about media coverage and public fascination with involuntarily trapped people. Perhaps this new direction for the podcast should be renamed “Yes And” or something?
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 18:29:47 GMT

Too many side conversations - I loved this podcast when Michael cohosted. I switched jobs and couldn’t keep up with podcasts. I am now able to listen at my new job and imagine my surprise when I learned Michael was no longer a cohost. I chose the Karen Carpenter episodes because I am intrigued by her. The first episode was horrible. I keep skipping through it because the hosts kept having side conversations about topics that had nothing to do with Karen. I also felt a lot of the conversation was about the what ifs pertaining to Karen. It’s ridiculous to try and second guess the decisions someone made. It’s also ridiculous to guess what you think Karen would still be doing if she were still alive. Suggesting she’d be on social media, etc. I thought the second episode would get better but it didn’t. I cannot finish it. It’s sad because I loved this podcast before. There’s no structure. Sure things would get off topic with Michael but it’s beyond ridiculous now.
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 23:23:06 GMT

The obnoxious voice makes it hard to enjoy - I like the topics and sometimes I learn something new. I don’t mind the politics like some do. But I can barely stand Sarah’s nasal, grating, self-important tone, singsongy judgy cadence and her weird constant laugh, which usually occurs at unfunny, inappropriate times after she says something she deems so witty or insightful. And all of this is done way too close to the mic. Mainly her tone just comes across as self-important and know-it-all condescension. It makes a somewhat interesting pod a little unlikable. So, this podcast is usually the one I turn to when I’ve already listened to all my favs.
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 22:32:00 GMT

This explains my whole childhood - I have absolutely loved almost every single episode of You’re Wrong About. I am around Sarah‘s age and so all of these events that they talked about on the show are also ones that I remember from my childhood. It’s a neat experience to go back as an adult and revisit some of these things, and truly understand what was happening in a way that no one seemed to at the time. It’s well researched, and entertaining to listen to. One star for capitalism and five for the podcast. Great job, Sarah!
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 14:14:00 GMT

And so it ends… - This used to be one of my top podcasts, even after Michael left. But I’ve increasingly stretched the time between listening to new episodes for months, and finally reached the end. The end for me, that is. I forced myself to keep listening to several past episodes that were difficult to get through, but after minutes of the first Karen Carpenter episode, I am calling it quits. It actually took me over an hour to get to minute , as Sarah and her producer went on so many painfully boring and irrelevant tangents that I constantly had to skip back seconds after realizing I didn’t know what was going on. I still don’t really know what I listened to - it’s actually kind of incredible. (I wasn’t doing anything else that required focus, merely cleaning on a quiet Sunday.) I used to be enraptured by each episode, so it saddens me that it has become impossible to truly take in regardless of my interest on the subject being discussed. This podcast is now a prime example of mindless drivel (I hate to sound so mean and hope it is clear that I enjoyed Sarah’s work before so in no way am I attacking her personality, which I still like!). I won’t pretend to know how or why the show went off the rails, but I hope Sarah is able to get it back to the quality production it used to be. I doubt I’ll give it a fifth chance, however.

Great Podcast - I found the podcast extremely informative. The research done to produce the episodes must be extensive. I appreciate the hosts’ and producer’s work. My only small critique would be in the “Baby Jessica” episode you mentioned Fox News and spoke of it in a negative light. It felt kind of political. The episode was great overall but it would be nice not to have politics involved. With that being said. Thanks for the awesome content.

This Podcast is probably the greatest thing that ever happened to me - To:Aaron Mahnke Thank you so much for sparking my interest and curiosity in the lore of our world and the alarming amount of strange creatures, monsters, and folk tales that show up in the most unexpected places. The first time I listened to this podcast back in I immediately fell in love with it and started listening nonstop, and the truth is before I listened to Lore I wasn’t even interested in podcasts so thank you! And last I would like to saw one more thing to whom ever is reading this… that no matter how hard you try to keep telling yourself that life is normal and calm, your wrong, because the will always be scary stories to pass around near the campfire, but most importantly there will always be lore.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 02:44:04 GMT

This Podcast is Really Interesting But - This podcast was introduced to me thanks to my aunt and sisters and the first time I listened to it, I immediately fell in love. I listen to this podcast a lot now because the kind of things covered in this podcast is not only folklore, but real stories, and I really love that. I listen to this podcast while I sleep, driving, and much more. However, after reading a couple reviews and doing research, I have become aware of the fact that Aaron has supported the cancellation of Ben Shapiro (I think that’s how you spell his last name). I’m sorry, but just because he has different political opinions or opinions in general than you doesn’t mean that they deserve to have their life destroyed. And ANYONE who agrees with Aaron on this, I find absolutely disgusting. Other than that, this podcast is great and the stories are incredible, but I will never (NEVER) look at it the same.

Please move on from Witches — get back to supernatural topics - We get it. You went all in on Witches for your other podcast. Now you’re being overly repetitive & the shows content has suffered immensely. Stop recycling your prior research and generate some new content reminiscent of the first episodes. This show was captivating and stood above and beyond anything comparable. Now, it’s all witches. Soapboxing. And preaching. Just tell the stories. They are compelling. Stop weighing in and adding your political take through progressive lenses. Booooooooooo — you’re better than that Mahnke. Or maybe you’re not. Time will tell . . .

obsessed - i have listened to this podcast all the way through times, each time i grab on to something new. during the second time, i made a murder board to keep track of all the twists, turns, facts, players, and everything in between. Ashley Flowers has done exactly what she intended. She got us hooked, turning this case over in our heads. she got us to care about this family. i think law enforcement and investigators may be covering a couple things up, and now, the pressure and awareness that this podcast has started might be exactly what is needed to uncover those last few facts needed.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 03:56:09 GMT

Worth listening to! - I really enjoyed the episodes and appreciate the work that was put into this series. I do feel like episodes were a bit much. Or they could’ve made each episode longer. Overall, worth the listen and hearing the story/stories! I really felt for the daughters and husband. A horrible tragedy. And just as a side note… the growling that the daughters described hearing during their mother’s attack reminds me of Kenneth’s voice in his interview. Honestly it gave me chills listening to him talk.

Excellent Investigative Journalism - I drive a lot and love that this podcast is in minute increments. The investigative work, the host and editing is excellent. It is put together very professionally and is extremely entertaining. I really hope they find Darlene’s killer. Such a sad story. The DA sounds like he should retire as he is clearly not motivated to do more and is overwhelmed with his caseload. I don’t understand why the file is even with him. It should be with the police to continue to investigate.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 16:25:43 GMT

Ashley is always great - There’s a lot of negative reviews. I wouldn’t say this was biased, they discussed many different suspects, made sure to let us know people have no implications or evidence, etc. the sound effects didn’t bother me like some either. I know counterclock and the serial podcasts use it too. It was a little more cheesy than the deck or crime junkie but still enjoyable and a great story to focus on. My favorite thing about the deck is that they bring in people to interview to get first hand knowledge and help the victims’ loved ones.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:33:42 GMT

Good not great - also… unethical recording? - Good, not great. Entertaining, maybe not ethical? If the team are “investigative journalists”, I’m fairly certain federal law requires the consent before recording in-person, telephone, or electronic conversations. I was really turned off when John Paul Clarke was interviewed in episode , and specifically says, “are you recording me, you should have told me that.” It felt really skeezy, and I felt the fact that Ashley didn’t address it was really off-putting. Idk, we spent episodes talking about the “disinterested, not transparent, on the defense” police leading this case, but we don’t call out that we unethically recorded someone. So, again, good, not great - entertaining, maybe not ethical”.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 21:32:28 GMT

This case can be solved! - I’ve listened to a lot of true crime podcasts because I’m a travel nurse and drive A LOT. This podcast was so well put together and so mind-boggling with the twists and turns that it kept me hooked through all episodes in one -hr drive. I’m infuriated that the evidence hasn’t been tested against every suspect and that the ball seems to have been dropped time and time again by investigators. But the last episode is what really made this podcast special. I bawled like a baby after hearing those recordings. The line that “Darlene was a victim one day of her life but was a mother, sister, friend for years before that” just really resonated with me as a true crime listener. I’m signing the petition to get evidence tested and sending the link to everyone I know!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 22:06:56 GMT

Fascinating with all the feels - This series was unreal. The way the story was told with details makes you feel present and you care so much about what happened. Episode left me balling for the family as a mother yet happy the grown kids still have love in their life after all they went though. I have listened to s of crime shows/episodes and this one felt so close to home. I have never wanted a crime to be solved soooo badly.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 15:37:48 GMT

The Deck - I’ve been a crime junkie since day . I absolutely admire all of the work that they have done to get these cases out that no one ever hears/ talks about. I obviously heard about The Deck through Crime Junkie, because i’m just so mesmerized by Ashley’s voice i just had to listen hahaha! but / show. True crime and all of its advocacy work is what this is all about. Getting the word out about these cases no matter how long ago, to open the eyes of people and give them a totally different perspective of the feelings and what the families that were impacted by such horrific events felt during those times and still feel to this day! I love this show and I truly thank you for putting your heart and soul into it with every single episode.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:19:52 GMT

Love and prayers - With tears rolling down my cheeks, I truly hope these girls & their father get some answers. Ashley you are truly heaven sent. I love listing to your podcasts, but what you do for all these people is just great. As a mom my self that last episode was heartbreaking, if you girls read this just know I am praying so hard for all of you to receive answers, your mom loved her family no doubt there, I will never understand the evil in some people…
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 12:10:17 GMT

Why the unnecessary profanity? - The investigation by Emily is very well done and the story is interesting. I truly hope that it spurs action and testing of the evidence. Some of the audio attempts with male voices speaking over the story teller seemed off and a bit distracting. The oddest thing about the series was the use of profanity by Ashley which seemed forced and unnecessary in most every instance. We couldn’t understand why it was included, though, this has also been happening more frequently in recent months in Crime Junkie (in which it seems just as unnecessary).
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 23:34:15 GMT

Pleasantly captivated start to finish - I am the last person who would ever leave a comment on a post but this was just so well done. I was captivated the entire show, each new suspect had their own crazy connection that was too much of a coincidence. For all the people upset about how it ended… they literally explain in the first episode that this case is still open… And to the people who think they went to far with their journalism… asking tough questions and leaving no stone unturned is literally their job. They have poured hundreds of hours into this case and put themselves in potential harm for this podcast so show some respect! Truly amazing work. I hope they catch this SOB and the family gets the closure they deserve. The police department should be ashamed with how poorly they managed this case.

Dateline and Keith Morrison are amazing!! I DEFINITELY recommend!! - Love love love!! Great case (by which I mean that it’s tragic, gripping, important to tell, and very interesting) and great host- Keith Morrison is AMAZING, as usual!! (Keith- as everyone else probably already said, you are my FAVORITE Dateline Host! PLEASE do more specials AND some regular episodes!! Everyone else on the dateline team- you are all INCREDIBLE reporters and storytellers, too!) As always, the storytelling is FANTASTIC, the research is exhaustive but not overwhelming, and you’re on the edge of your seat the whole time!! I highly recommend this podcast to any fans of Dateline, “Helen & Olga”, The Thing About Pam, and Murder & Magnolias!! (Full disclosure- after listening to the first episode, I decided to wait until the entire series is available bc I prefer to binge this type of serialized podcast all at once.) ENJOY!
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 21:43:36 GMT

Born storyteller - Keith Morrison is one of my go to people when I can find nothing else that interests me enough to watch or listen to. I can watch or listen to anything he does. Doesn’t matter if I’ve listened to it before I learn something different every time. Dateline in general is that way. They have compiled a fantastic group of journalists who are some of the best there ever has been. Keep up the great work!
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 16:53:41 GMT

Riveting!! - Another riveting podcast from Dateline! Michelle O’Keefe is the year old Girl in the Blue Mustang, cut down in the prime of her life. The mystery before us is what happened to this beautiful girl with so much promise. No one excavates mysteries such as these quite like Dateline. This podcast has everything you have come to expect from Dateline: compelling interviews, twists and turns, and the smooth stylings of the one and only Keith Morrison. As always, the victim is treated with great respect and affection. My heart aches for her parents. I was hooked from the first few moments, and I can’t wait for the next episode!
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 01:37:47 GMT

They have names! - I understand catchy titles make people more interested in the podcast but the victims have names. They have have loved ones and for them to be known as “girl in the blue mustang “ is so nasty. Just because killers get catchy names ( which needs to change too) does not mean victims should have the same thing. Everyone needs to use their names if the identity is known. I feel it so disrespectful for the person who went through nasty crimes to just be known on social media by long stupid catchphrase. If victims are really cared for then podcasts need to change the way we approach these stories! Use their name and give them more respect.

Talking Dateline - I love the new series Talking Dateline. It’s a great idea and I look forward to more. The first episode with Josh and Keith was perfect. Lots of good insights about the case. It was nice to hear the personal feelings from the correspondents. It draws the audience closer to the process and endears us to those involved even more. I appreciated hearing about the people behind the scenes as well because they are also responsible for the perfection that is Dateline. And of course I loved the banter. Thank you so much for doing this! Stella S.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 19:22:51 GMT

A little bit more editing, please - Dateline always does solid reporting, the problem is that they’re lazy in turning these episodes into the podcast. There are references to pictures and video that we obviously can’t see in a podcast. It would be easy enough to edit around these comments, but they don’t. They are heavy on the ad play, but I’m always good to fast forward. If you’d like to listen to dateline as you clean the house and never actually look at the television, this is the podcast for you.

Finding Rita and Talking: Finding Rita - Thanks so much for the podcasts of your TV shows. I like being able to listen to them instead of sitting in a chair and watching on TV—listening engages my mental mind more (like reading a book!). Thanks to Josh for asking the question about the possible source of the social media threats to KK, as I had the same question after listening to the original podcast. I like it when additional background information is provided as in the “Talking” podcast—please do more of them! I had appreciated the brief talking notes of the other shows/podcasts, including Britanee Drexel, which I had recently listened to so they were quite fresh in my mind. I have loved your TV shows for years but am an AVID podcast lover, so please continue with the podcasts—THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Strong arm tactics - New comment… I downloaded Girl in the Blue Mustang and listened to the first couple of episodes. Then it got put behind a paywall. Clever! Ah well, I enjoy Dateline on TV and the free episodes here on the pod. I love Dateline and have listened to the podcast a long time. But now I guess one cannot listen without paying for the upgrade. You click on the play button and it takes you directly to the paywall. Clever.

Money grab! - Edit: And now you just make random, old episodes that I’ve already listened to part of the subscription?? My god, that is LAME. When is it enough money for you? In the beginning, I was so excited about this “podcast” because I could listen to all the stories I’ve already watched every Friday night on Dateline. It literally costs NBC nothing, because it’s just audio of the tv program. There used to be one or two, one minute ad breaks per show. Of course, nothing good lasts forever, and corporate greed is a thing, so now there are multiple ad breaks during each show. I listen daily for hours at a time, so I really notice the difference. And the subscription money grab is a joke. There’s nothing new or innovative happening there. Anyone who pays is a fool, no offense. I will still listen, because I love Keith, Josh, Dennis and Andrea, but we see you, NBC and Dateline! This is not ridiculous.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 07:43:01 GMT

Why all the hate! - I can not believe how much hate I read in the reviews. Seriously how can you dislike the dateline podcasts so much? They are well put together, extremely well produced and narrated. To write a negative review I say ask yourself this… Can you do a more effective job? Most likely not. We expect so much from podcasts, movies, and other Media entertainment that are truly amazing in general. If you didn’t enjoy the story at the start then go to another. Don’t listen and then criticize. It’s counter productive and ignorant. These are real life issues that have affected many people. Compassion and empathy are needed for the victims, not hate on how a story is presented. Please think and you feel with your heart not with criticism of how you feel it was presented. The writers and narrators are truly amazing. Support those that offer an opportunity to embrace.,

Great podcast overall - This is by far my favorite podcast, the only one I have paid for a subscription for. The stories are riveting and heartbreaking and fascinating all at once, and the hosts are top tier. Dateline is the one podcast that I look forward to weekly. That being said, I don’t know if it’s the show’s issue or the platform, but every single episode either won’t start at all, giving an error message, or will go silent mid sentence. The only way I have found to fix it is to unfollow the show then start the episode. Every. Single. Episode. Irritating enough that if Dateline wasn’t my favorite podcast I would be done with it completely. Never had the issue pre-subscription. I have no idea if this is a widespread issue or if I’m alone in this. If it is fairly widespread I hope the show looks into rectifying the problems. Aside from that one issue this is a top notch show and I HIGHLY recommend anyone interested in true crime dove head first in to this addiction!

I want to believe - I’m already in love with this new Payne Lindsey project. Intriguing stories, great interviews. Worth a listen for skeptics and believers alike. I had sent Payne a UFO video back in April , way before the podcast was announced. My brother had accidentally caught it on film (in the daytime!) and didn’t notice it until editing the footage for work. What a coincidence! Or was it? Maybe I’m psychic … or maybe I am an alien?!
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 14:41:15 GMT

I’m already looking forward to the next episode - There is a lot of alien content out there. Some of it is compelling, some of it is more like ASMR. That’s where an human being uses another human being’s vocal chittering to pursue relaxation, yes? Anyway, there’s plenty of content out there, but Payne Lindsey knows how to throw a podcast. It’s got beats, it’s got movement through the stories, it’s got exciting interviews with humans who have been reticent to discuss their experiences. Best of all, the first episode features Travis Walton, who my buddyfriend Globordo swears he has met, even though we both know that borbeeker was light years away that week bathing in the living waters of (gtyhdernjii. Annnnyway, I’m an “alien”, so I appreciate when you silly little guys get our story up to down and front to back. Keep it up, human creatures.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 12:31:10 GMT

Payne does it again. - Binging this podcast. Aliens have always been a fear of mine, heightened recently by all the government admissions that these things are true. Always thought it was strange how the world didn’t absolutely freak out like I was when these admissions made the news. This is the content I didn’t know I needed and delivered by a favorite, Payne Lindsay. Oh yeah and I’m an alien .
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 08:11:54 GMT

- Payne, UFOs, Aliens and Tenderfoot? This is the best show I can think of since I was deep into “Roswell” on the CW back in the late s . I have been waiting for this podcast to start for months and now it’s finally here (Terry sent me) Also cannot WAIT for Radio Rental to start back up ….also I’m an alien ….but for real, I have been to Roswell twice, Area , and the little A’Le’Inn motel in Rachel, NV a few times so the obsession is real and I’m stoked to hear some real dirt on what’s goin on up there
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 07:21:43 GMT

The truth is out there - Yet another amazing podcast from the Tenderfoot TV crew and Payne Lindsey. I just finished episode one and already hooked! Not only by the accounts of interviewees that the crew has gathered, but also how Payne narrates and tells the story! And can we talk about that outro song?! This podcast makes me feel like I am an alien yet also Fox Mulder at the same time. Can’t wait to discover the truth with all of you.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 03:13:31 GMT

I mean, it’s great for make believe. - Unsurprisingly, Payne Lindsey delivers hard. It’s another rare podcast that is binge-worthy, waiting for the release of the next episode like the good ol’ Game of Thrones days. We all know we aren’t alone in the universe but as an alien, I need to stress that most things about us are just not correct. And I need to stress this even more whenever anyone gets close to the truth. Unless they aren’t - but you’ll never know. Because it’s all make believe (or is it?).

Gradually Gotten Worse - I have been playing catch up as long as I have been listening. I have made it to the episodes, but the podcast has gotten progressively worse over about the last year to year and a half. The poor verbal grammar has always bothered me: “the police’s” and the overabundance of the word “like.” There are others that bother me, but those two bother me the most. The most aggravating thing is the increasing wokeness and anti-police bias. I come here to be exposed to interesting true crime stories. I don’t need to be preached to about pronouns or gender or sex workers or any other litany of social justice issues. I also don’t need to hear in every episode from a non-law enforcement host about what the police should have done or could have done or did wrong. You have zero law enforcement and crime scene training. Hindsight is /. You have information and facts available now that may have not been available at the time. There have also been a couple of episodes I recently listened to that were bashing police procedure. In the Faith Hegepeth episode, Ashley was outraged that the other apartments in Faith’s roommate’s apartment building weren’t searched during the murder investigation. Illegal search and seizure is protected by the th amendment. Just because someone gets murdered in an apartment in an apartment building doesn’t mean that police can just go searching through everyone else’s homes. You have to have reason to go search each apartment and get a judge to sign off on a search warrant for each one. “A murder happened nearby” isn’t enough to get said search warrant. To tell your listeners that it should have been done is extremely misleading. In the Anthony Sowell episode, there was outrage over the amount of time that it took police to make contact with one of the victims. People without a stable home life are often difficult to track down. They went so far as to contact her mother in hopes of locating her, and her mother even said that she would be difficult to contact. Early on in the episode, when discussing all of the attempts to contact the victim that the police said they took, the police seemed to have been (rightfully) given a pass. Then during the re-cap at the end of the episode, they were blamed for not following up fast enough. So which is it? You can’t have it both ways. There have been others, but these are two that stuck out to me. I am not a police officer, but education and common sense helped me see what was incorrect in the above two scenarios. It seems like you are looking for reasons to bash the police at every turn. It happens at least once an episode now. It’s surprising since you sat down with a police officer (I believe Indiana State Patrol) for one of your episodes fairly early on. Frankly, I’m shocked that any police officer would sit down with you for an interview for this podcast, and I would urge them not to sit down with you at this point. As for Britt, I’m not going to bag on her. In the early episodes, I enjoyed some of the back and forth between Ashley and Britt. It seems to me that Britt isn’t really allowed to make any comments outside of what is scripted for her. It’s a shame too. I know my opinion won’t change anything, but these are all of the reasons why I will no longer be listening. As many others have said, there are plenty of true-crime podcasts out there. I will give one of them a listen instead.

The Very Best THANK YOU - I’ve been listening for about years and the show is amazing! I love how it really explains in detail what has happened and the circumstances that have taken place. Thank you Brit for always being able to describe pictures and sketches! I got my best friend hooked on the show recently! Love you Ashley and Brit you have gotten me through my toughest times like when my grandpa was going through Covid and Liver Cancer. He lived the show also! Whenever I would visit him in the hospital we would talk about what we had listened to! This show definitely helped him last longer I don’t care what they say. Love you guys keep making the show to carry on my grandpas memory.

Ugh stop interrupting - Ashley is great but Brit?!!!! So useless. She looks like like a poc so as a fellow poc please stop judging. Really the commentary is stupid, pointless, useless. Why can’t it be only ashley? Brit’s constant interrupting is annoying, useless. Ashley speak. Brit, ur family hunts… I don’t care… you are a mom…I don’t care…u have pointless commentary…still don’t care. I just want to hear the story or how I can make a difference. Please STOP interrupting but please keep going with the Puppet of the Month. Honestly, Ashley just do this podcast on your own so I don’t have to fast forward through annoying, pointless Brit

Discouraged about investigative ethics. - Feeling discouraged about investigative ethics after listening to The Deck Investigates. I already had some qualms about the plagiarism accusations, but The Deck Investigates gave me new concerns about ethical reporting and investigation. It was over-sensationalized speculation. I’m extremely disappointed in the way the audiochuck team harassed individuals (who had repeatedly declined interviews) at their own homes for the sake of podcast entertainment. I can also understand frustration with law enforcement, but bashing their work doesn’t feel like the best way to encourage detectives to solve a crime. As much as we’d all love to know the details, podcasters are not entitled to all of the information law enforcement may have about a case. I often wonder how much audiochuck’s approach hurts or hinders an investigation for this reason. I’ve been a long time fan of Crime Junkie, but now have a hard time feeling comfortable supporting this sensationalized and unethical style of “reporting” Wish we could go back to the early days.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 15:55:49 GMT

Eh - I don’t love how they make cases about race. I felt like they made me (a Caucasian) detective feel racist. They are clearly left wing but I am not a racist and I don’t appreciate how they talk about law enforcement. If they have any better ideas that don’t involve making people pay more on taxes then I would love to hear it. Please stop making enforcement out to be racist because it’s uneducated and disrespectful

Not as good as it used to be. - Something has changed, and not for the better. The stories are ALL unsolved, which I get you’re trying to make a difference and bring families closure and justice, but the reason most of us got addicted was the full circle story. Just throw us a bone here and there. I’m glad Britt is back and on her recovery journey, but some of the commentary is a little obvious and unnecessary, feels forced. Just be natural. And like we know you probably cuss in real life, but like every episode, when you used to never, just seems unnatural.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 03:16:35 GMT

Loved it but it’s changed - I used to be obsessed with crime junkie. I still listen weekly but I don’t like the cases they have chosen in recent months. They seem rushed and I end up losing focus. I’m so glad Britt is back and healthy and I love Ashley just something feels off. Earliest episodes are the best and % recommend to anyone. I wouldn’t recommend the past months though. Some of it may be biased as I don’t really like missing cases and they tend to be doing a lot. I prefer their unsolved/solved or mysterious death cases. If your like me and don’t love the missing cases check out Murder With My Husband. They provide awesome insight and commentary on cases that I think are interesting and not always heard of!

Flowers is a Known Plagiarist - Ashley Flowers wasn’t a known plagiarist. There are portions of this podcast in which she uses extensive, verbatim portions of others’ writing. Google it! Don’t support this dishonesty. Would be a much better podcast Ashley brushed up on English grammar and syntax and Britt stops it with the fake gasps and staged comments. She really drags the show down. The content is interesting! The delivery isn’t top-notch. The grammar is poor; grammar gaffes occur too frequently and are a distraction. (It’s not “HER and her boyfriend,” it is “SHE and her boyfriend,” for example. You wouldn’t say “Her went to the store” so don’t say “Her and her boyfriend went to the store.”) Most annoying: Brit’s fake gasps, scripted comments, and incessant use of the word “like” turn a good show into a mediocre one; occasionally she is genuinely ad-libbing and you can really tell the difference. It’s much better when her contributions are spontaneous. I challenge both of them to do one episode using the word “like” fewer than a dozen times. I enjoyed the first few episodes I listened to but the fake gasps, scripted comments, and poor grammar became too tedious to tolerate.

Still Cold - Barker clearly states that if she were to use the ‘I did it’ ‘confession’ lines in the wrong context, she’d be fired. However, that’s exactly what was done: the ‘I did it’ recording was used from the first episode to make us think this man confessed, when he actually didn’t. That’s irresponsible, unfair to the listener and was used to hook in so many people to an otherwise incredibly boring podcast that just poked and prodded folks that didn’t deserve it. Lastly, although I sympathize with her upbringing in Laramie, one can insert almost any small town in America and come up with the same childhood stories. No offense to Laramie, but it’s not very special, just as my small Texas town upbringing was not that special.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 21:35:20 GMT

Loved the podcast!! - Coldest Case in Laramie was that perfect murder mystery where is seems fairly cut and dry after the first episode but it winds up being everything but that. Was on the edge of my seat the whole way!! Side note, I met Kim Barker last summer in NYC. We talked, shared dog pics and she could not have been a nicer human being! She even brought up her trips to Laramie in preparation for this podcast!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 17:31:36 GMT

Thorough and Authentic - Really enjoyed this. The pace of new and interesting revelations was spot on. Sadly it revealed so many major faults in our criminal justice system. Primarily those with power who claim they “know” something they can’t possibly know! Unless Det. Terry was there he can’t KNOW what happened. The search for justice needs to be a search for truth. And sometimes the truth is simply unknowable.

Bad police job , not great reporting either - This started out well , but fell apart . His wife thought Fred did it . She blamed it on PTSD & his navy seal training Vietnam . Fred Lamb claimed he’d killed someone in wartime and then Shelley . Now he says he didn’t and oh by the way he wasn’t a seal . The other people in the case were doubted on their memories , but Fred and Linda weren’t . After this happened the police only wanted the African Americans ons the football team and the Hispanics bad boys as their suspects. They investigated the roommate who wasn t there as if she was a crime . They didn’t even think it was odd a married drunk policeman staying with a friend who’s DNA was on site . The police “ lost” lots of evidence and the only detective , Terry , who did a thorough job on the case believes the ex policeman did it . The police deserve a lot more scorn than they got. I think this podcast gave the family hope , then came up believing it wasn’t. That interview the Lamb’s was soft . The reporter indicates she may be leaning toward Fred .But at the very end , the last minute it’s Larry ?

Another bad promo - I enjoyed the series and thought Kim’s narration was fine. But those promos. The producers realize I’m sure that many more people hear the promos featured on popular podcasts than will hear the series itself. So for Kim to say in the ubiquitous promo that Laramie is the meanest place she’s ever been to then end the series saying Laramie isn’t that bad after all is grossly unfair.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 22:26:46 GMT

Wish I’d avoided - I was drawn in. Hooked on the unsolved case. Let down of course by lack of progress. And dissatisfied without learning anything new. About Shelli, about Kim. I was surprised by how Kim destabilized and maybe manipulated Michelle about the card. M’s feeling may have been real b/c of a message that came with it, perhaps unwritten or unspoken. I was wholly unconvinced we should let Fred off. And maybe just bc something so horrible should be solved. But, it’s not. Deeply depressing snapshot into the horrors of humanity.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 21:00:13 GMT

Why? - The most riveting part of this podcast is during episode when the podcaster eviscerates the long term memory of not one but two people in a gross display of gotcha. It solves nothing, proves nothing, shows that the podcaster is literally heartless, and most likely did more damage to the two people involved. This evidence (based on police evidence) is unveiled right after we learn of some more important evidence that’s mysteriously missing. It contradicts itself. It maddening and sad that the podcaster took it upon herself to insert like that. Why? None of that evidence was reliable anymore. People use memories to protect themselves from trauma - take care when telling people they’re wrong. And oh you better be absolutely positive that you’re right. Are you? I have a lot of doubts.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 17:59:21 GMT

Disappointed - I was completely taken…until the last few episodes. I’m disappointed that the case remains unsolved, but more disappointed that Barker clearly presents evidence of sloppy police work and bias, yet relies heavily on that evidence to undermine survivor memory. I didn’t listen to the last episode because I was so disappointed. I only hope that she questioned Lamb on the Navy Seal lie as well as other inconsistencies. A family was destroyed, a young woman killed and her reputation sullied, and police bias and misogyny undermines the ability to solve the case.A DNA sample on apt that includes the victim’s and the suspect would have sent others to jail in many other states.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 16:04:17 GMT

Also Disappointed - I have to agree with Disappointed. Who is to say that certain evidence wasn’t destroyed or manipulated? The fact that the roommate said she received a card with a threat…I don’t think you misremember things like that. I also question the wife completely changing her story when Lamb was interviewed in the last episode. Gave a very different view of his ability to control his emotions. She didn’t seem surprised when Terry first told her but later it was no way!
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 15:40:01 GMT

Muddled Point of View with Ultimately Nothing New to Say - I kept waiting for this podcast to reveal its reason to exist. Ultimately, it never did. Kim Barker admits very early on that she started researching this case because she owed some newspapers some stories. The implication is that she ended up discovering much more meaningful reasons to continue pursuing the story. But, in reality, she never does; this podcast takes us along yet another journey that shows us not the truth, but rather how elusive the truth can be. Unfortunately, that has been done many times already, and done much better. The point of view is muddled, the reporting tedious and repetitive, and the conclusion is deeply unsatisfying. The Serial name has failed yet again to keep its promise of offering something special to its listeners. I’m not going to fall for the Serial brand marketing trick again. I’m out.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 15:52:06 GMT

A cruel waste of time - What a waste of time. I wish I had read the reviews first. But I was also surprised by the cruelty. This investigation gave Shelli’s family and friends—and listeners—the hope that an NYT investigative reporter would finally crack the cold case after so many years. Instead, this reporter embarrases key witnesses by confronting them with possible false memories, an upsetting experience they didn’t deserve after so many years, while not challenging the suspect’s wife with hers. A blatant double standard reminiscent of the police’s biased approach to this case. In creating this podcast, it seems the reporter didn’t want years of her time go to waste, so instead decided to waste ours.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 11:35:25 GMT

Lackluster and disappointing - Whether or not you agreed with the conclusions being drawn, you could always count on riveting storytelling from the Serial folks. Not so much with this one. Really this sounds like one of the many garden-variety true crime podcasts inspired by Serial that popped up in its wake. I am obviously very sorry for the victims family members and everything that they have been through, but I kept waiting for the interesting twist or for it to “get good.“ What we got instead was essentially “yeah, some people think this person did it, some people think this person did it, and we just don’t know, and probably never will. Man, that’s a drag…“ Maybe this would resonate with me more if I was from Laramie like the host, I don’t know. Her Daria-esque too cool for the room vibe gets old really fast as well. Again, just really disappointing. We’ve come to expect more from the Serial brand.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 22:42:14 GMT

Disappointed - Enjoyed the series until Episode , when Kim plays defense attorney and shatters Pat and Michelle by using the police documents. She NEVER offers them alternative explanations: . Police interviewers said what Pat remembers, AFTER the tape recorder was shut off. Very possible. . Police neither logged nor took a photo of the threatening note to Michelle that was on a separate sheet of paper. Again, very possible. Kim treats the police evidence as incontrovertible truth, when she KNOWS that the police left out conversations and other evidence.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 15:01:26 GMT

Get Rid of the “Podcast Voice” - What on earth is Kim Barker and her producers thinking when they recorded this podcast?!?!?!?! When she does her interviews that she includes as tape, she sounds just fine. But this has to be the worst voicing of a podcast I’ve heard yet - it’s like she affected “podcast voice” as a satire. But it’s not! It’s for real here. The story is good, but for God’s sake, either get her a voice coach or find someone who can deliver a compelling read.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:48:53 GMT

Another unfinished series - I was actually super into the series through all the episodes and appreciated how all the twists and turns made me second guess my initial speculations but then at episode it just ends abruptly with no resolve!! I listened to this one because I was under the impression that they helped to find the person who actually did it but alas, just like all the others, we’re left just as confused as when we started. It felt like the first season of Serial all over again! Also, I hate how they twist witnesses words and memories. As someone who has had to recount a crime for police records, usually you tell your story MULTIPLE times and only once do they actually record what you’re saying, so sometimes in the recordings we don’t hear the fresh in your mind account of what happened but it’s usually the third, fourth or fifth time, days have passed, you’re tired and stressed and traumatized. That witness probably was told that the neighbor was a police officer and he shouldn’t worry, but that just wasn’t when they were recording it.

Clearly in it for the glory - Considering the fact that this podcast idea is ripped straight from another, previously existing podcast and the fact that Ashley is simply attempting to get notoriety for “investigating”, I question her motivation in actually getting Justice for any victims. It seems pretty clear (especially with her incessantly annoying advertising at the beginning of all of AudioChuck pods) that she’s in it for the glory and recognition and potentially the money. Sit down, keep it journalistic, and leave the investigation to the LEOs who actually know what they’re doing.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:34:44 GMT

Excellent!! - This podcast is by far one of the best I’ve listened to over the years. Ashley flowers can tell a story like no other! She is so passionate about all the stories she tells and the victims in each. I hope in the end her stories lead to closure for the victims families. Hopefully she will do follow ups on the cold cases in her podcasts if they are ever solved. The newer podcast series she does includes others, ground investigator/detective, experts in their field, all narrators just add to the story. So very interesting to hear the expertise they have to offer, and the effort they put into each case, especially going door to door to find answers is truly remarkable on their part! I highly recommend this podcast!
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 12:10:48 GMT

Just barely entertaining enough - The host’s cringey liberal newspeak is a little grating, for example, “people who are experiencing homelessness”. That and the total ignorance demonstrated by her casual police bashing. It doesn’t reach a level that I think anyone should find offensive, but I roll my eyes once or twice per episode. Fine for background noise, but it’s % low-tier guilty pleasure material. The plagiarism accusations are news to me, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 11:53:49 GMT

No Originality Pushed Agenda - I use to really like Crime Junkie because Ashley has a way to draw in the listeners and honestly she was posting episodes of cases I never heard of until recently. So I stopped listening to CJ because I realized there was VERBATIM plagiarism. I thought I was losing it because I was like, didn’t I just hear this? Thought I was having Deja Vu, but nope. Plagiarism. So I turned to The Deck thinking it was different. At first it was nice hearing truly unsolved stories and not highly talked about cases. But then…The Deck started the plagiarism yet again. Many of the cases are already out and a lot of plagiarism on it as well. Not just that but the the cases are not “cold”. It’s just the known suspect either passed away and the evidence is % pointing at them or the suspect is alive but the known killer is not arrested and they have the evidence they just want more before they make the arrest. I want stories of cases that are truly at a standstill because the evidence is so minimal or cases we haven’t heard of that can benefit of someone knowing information. Doing stories where they already have the suspect and evidence is not okay. What happened to the lost voices? Another thing…stop with the wokeness and pushed agenda.

Better than any drama movie out there - I didn’t learn about the podcast until the trial started. After seeing Mandy’s interview with Katie Couric. After listening to one episode, I am hooked, I went back to episode , and validated even more how accurate is the investigative journalism from Mandy and Fitnews is. Thank you for your hard work and bringing to life a clear understanding of a broken system. I truly believe that you open doors for others to look beyond the obvious and keep asking questions
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 18:13:52 GMT

Calm down - I got pretty far in this pod cast, but I had to stop. THE BRAGGING… oooff, get over yourself! You don’t own the story, you’re not the only one covering it, you’re not even a native to the area, no one is out to get you, & stop using your dog to get people to send you money. Do I think Alex did it, oh yeah! But the show is VERY bias… lots of hosts opinion and personal feelings, please just give us the story. Lots of cringy moments. Mandy, if you’re reading this, I hope you take the reviews like this as constructive criticism to better your content.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 15:38:53 GMT

Give it a chance - OK so my original review of this podcast was that the vocal fry was unbearable. I stuck it out and I’m glad that I did because the host absolutely did some work in that department. It’s so much better now. The podcast has a ton of information and she is very thorough. I will say that I usually skip the first three and last five or so minutes as it’s usually a lot of unnecessary pontificating.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 21:39:05 GMT

This Is No Longer Journalism - I like the podcast, but I am starting to question some of the unnecessary comments. Journalism, by its very nature, is supposed to be unbiased. There are comments throughout that are based in opinion and not in fact, or factual but surrounded by the opinions of the podcasters. Vocal quality is important. I don’t like the chastising that occurs at the conclusion of every episode about “vocal fry” and the demand for five star reviews. Stick to the unbiased facts, otherwise this isn’t journalism. Its just entertainment masquerading as journalism. Don’t lecture, don’t beg. Report the facts!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 18:56:34 GMT

Thorough, honest, dedicated - I’m pretty sure only one person who is still alive will ever know the whole truth of this saga. However, Mandy does everything humanly possible to hunt down all the evidence and present it to answer all the questions left unanswered by national news reports on these cases. There were so many i’s un-dotted and t’s left un-crossed by the media in regards to the Murdaugh family. Mandy professionally, bravely, and respectfully investigates and reports the deepest of clues and evidence in order to answer the questions onlookers develop as we hear more about this family. Mandy is a far better journalist than any other I have watched, listened to, or read. She is dedicated to finding the truth, no matter who she exposes. Be safe, Mandy! This guy sounds like the kind that will “hush” anyone who outs his dirty truth.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 05:53:01 GMT

So so - Really wanted to like this podcast. You can tell lots of time spent investigating. Lots of interesting details but not a fan of the way the host presents. Very quick to bring her self to into the story. If she could stick to the facts and report those it would be better. We get it you don’t like several of the players involved for very good reasons but I don’t need to hear your opinion on them every time you talk about them.

Murdaugh Murders Podcast -Mandy Matney - After Mallory Beach’s (wrongful) boating death, Mandy tenaciously brought these low country hooligans to light. Joined by fellow journalist Liz Ferrell, they follow- & connect - all the threads. So Many threads! Start at the beginning; each ep. Is skillfully crafted. These pros are fighting against the tide of “old [white] boys network” & winning with wit & kindness!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 16:56:04 GMT

This is not your personal diary - A lot of the personal angst Mandy expresses on the podcast is cringe-worthy, off-putting, childish, and frankly, paranoid. See a therapist and keep it off the air. No everyone who disagrees with you is out to get you, or a hate-bot bent on destroying your universe. I appreciated your early reporting, but all three of you demonstrated sickeningly narcissistic tendencies during the trial - Eric Bland has become embarrassing in his need for attention. You guys were really good at first, did the hard work and should be commended, but the podcast and accompanying social media posts have descended into a paranoid twitter war with anyone you think might steal your thunder and you all sound desperate to stay relevant. I’ll give Liz and Eric credit for at least providing information, but Mandy seems to do nothing anymore but whine or giggle. Finally, you three would do well to remember that you aren’t native southerners and maybe you are missing some of the same subtleties you accuse others of missing.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 08:56:01 GMT

So self righteous - I’m listening in hindsight. Started at the beginning but had to stop due to the breathy. exaggerated. staccato. delivery. IN HINDSIGHT y’all were SO judgmental about the AG’s decisions. And so freaking uppity in talking about the firm. I’m finding it hard to believe you are old enough and wise enough to be smarter than all the players in this story. That said I’m glad the guy was convicted. You keep doing you. Clearly you all are smarter than the rest of us!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 00:35:38 GMT

Good reporting but bad takes - Appreciate the obvious work put into getting facts from sources and reporting. However, as a lawyer, their legal takes and speculation about legal proceedings are just bad and wrong. They seem to have a number of lawyers that come on from time to time, you’d think Mandy and Liz would consult with them more before expressing opinions that can easily be debunked with a little legal knowledge.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 17:55:35 GMT

Wow. Just wow (and not in a good way) - Could y’all be any more self-righteous and self-congratulatory? Doubt it. Get over yourselves and stop saying you’re here for the victims. You’re just here to say you’re the best, you’ve worked the hardest, and you deserve all the credit. You get some kind of perverse joy from saying anyone else doing anything in regards to Murdaugh Murders is wrong or doing a crappy job. It’s impossible to get past your self-aggrandizing to hear the stories of the atrocities this man did to his victims. Also, as someone who DID NOT grow up in the south, your continual reference to the “good ol’ boys club”, and insinuating anyone you don’t agree with is a member of it, is extremely rude and disrespectful to those of us who DID grow up in the south and are working to make it better. We know it’s not perfect, no place is. But, as an outsider, you are doing nothing to endear yourself to the rest of us. It really just makes some of us not like you. Just a suggestion, maybe you should take a hint from another podcast and try to look for some good in that area of the state you now call home, and share some of the positive history. Quit making it out that everyone in that area that wasn’t a victim is a bad guy. There are plenty of innocent people in that area and they’ve had enough negative publicity.

They are true advocates for marginalized groups and I will continue to support them!

Bravo for Karen and Georgia!!! - Not only have I been a regular listener of your podcast for years, but I really admire both of you for vocalizing your beliefs! You don’t just provide us with amazing podcasts, but you stand up for beliefs which protect, encourage and support basic principles of human rights. Most recently your support of a woman’s right to make decisions about abortion! I’m almost yrs old, and for years I have fought for equal rights for women and against racism! Thank you!!!

Used to love it, kinda sorta sticking around - Meh, seems like they made it and now are on the train of managing their podcast network which yay for them but the podcast has taken a backseat. Each episode seems like an afterthought instead of their priority now. I still listen sometimes, but the first few years were the best. It’s akin to watching college sports vs pros. College athletes have major passion and guts, then they get to the pros and phone it in. Karen is so smart, quick witted and always has an interesting take. Georgia is sweet and reflective. That keeps me listening.

the best - these women are my actual best friends. hilarious, relatable, humble, considerate, & thoughtful are just a few of the many positive remarks I could make on their characters. so grateful to have them share such a sensitive topic in such an entertaining way that considers the impacts on the victims. nobody’s perfect, but they sure are trying their best which we can all relate to! this podcast is the best part of my week!

Used to love you both. - Karen, you know the Bible so well and it’s quite impressive. Georgia, you’ve become completely intolerable to listen to. We all have different views about our faith, or in your case the lack of faith in God, and I’ve tolerated it. I can’t anymore with the way you trash God. When did a murder podcast become about bashing the other side of the aisle?? My friends and I are done with Georgia. Karen, you’ll be missed!

Trying to Stick Around - Update: I stuck it out this long, but just stopped partway thru today’s minisode after open hostility toward the word Christian. You have many Christian listeners who love you- and this really sucked to hear. We’re not all as terrible and awful as you seem to think. I’m really gonna miss listening, but I can’t keep ignoring this. Few podcasts have made me laugh as much as this one- I LOVE your dry wit and conversational skill. Thoroughly appreciate everything about this, though I’ve simply shelved some differing politics opinions. I don’t mind disagreeing with people- I just listen here for entertainment anyway. But lately, we’re all getting it from all sides and your podcast is not an escape anymore. It’s almost felt as if you’re pushing those with differing beliefs away, and don’t want us enjoying your jokes and storytelling if we disagree with your politics or views on covid. This is simply my feedback- If you want to run a true crime podcast with the amount of politics it currently contains, then that is your right to do so. But people like me might have to (very sadly) unsubscribe.

This is my favorite podcast! - I’m listening to the episode covering the zoot suit riots. They’re talking about when a group of white sailors are going around town beating up Mexicans, Filipinos, and black people. At :: Georgia makes a comment saying that not much has changed since then, and I have to say that is so % wrong. People need to stop making it sound like the s or the s are the same as . A lot has changed. White people are not pulling minorities off the street, beating them senseless and getting away with it. Comments like Georgia’s just encourage people to hang on to the past. I’ve noticed this podcast has a lot of that type of thinking. I enjoy it, but sometimes they’re over the top with their political views and they’re confident in inaccurate statements. Let’s move forward.

I’m a Karen-SuperFan - Came for the True Crime and now also listen to “Do You Need A Ride” with Karen Kilgariff and Chris Fairbanks, all the YouTubes of Karen’s songs and any other podcast interviewing her. I’m a rural nor-cal/central cal girl, one year older than Karen, and just love her stories. Love Her!!! So funny, talented, smart and striking! I hope the podcast goes for a long time!

Downhill, Terrible, and incredibly incorrect - They took “don’t worry it gets worse” literally. The first years were good, but went downhill. Too much uneducated banter about politics and rehashing of their therapy sessions. Edited to say, DEFINITELY no longer a listen after episode . Not interested in K & G’s political agenda and false claims about abortion. Can’t believe some of the things I heard them say

Engaged and engaging - These ladies have created something VERY special that has branched out in many ways these past many years. It takes special listening to appreciate what they have to offer (and still continue while you ignore what you might not appreciate). Current events are critical to everyone’s lives and it’s wonderful that they do not shy away from addressing how to HELP others. Brava
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 02:33:59 GMT

Just the best! - I think we all know Karen and Georgia are the best! Love their banter, love how relatable they are, love the way they discuss mental health and addiction, etc., love the way they address current issues... I just adore this podcast in and out! Also, I have always been fascinated by true crime but get scared easily! The humor in My Favourite Murder makes it bearable for me and I really appreciate that! Please never stop!
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 13:56:10 GMT

Yikes - I’m a long time listener and this podcast is becoming harder and harder to listen to. I’ll start by saying that I love Karen and feel like she’s still got it (Can I get a podcast called Karen’s Favorite Murder where she tells stories to her comedian friends!?). But a lot of the time now Georgia just constantly says things like “mhmm” and “oh yeah” like she isn’t even listening. She rarely adds anything and it no longer feels like a conversation between friends. It’s two people reading stories to each other that they didn’t research so it feels very flat and gets boring. The old episodes are still gold though.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 07:55:20 GMT

Used to be my favorite - I have listened to the back catalogue at least times. I still love the old episodes. Something happened when they started having others do their research and write the stories. It used to be a conversation between friends. Now it’s just Karen and Georgia reading other people’s writing over zoom. I know it’s hard to keep things the same but I desperately miss the energy of them being in Georgia's living room, the banter and how hilarious their own writing was.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 21:24:14 GMT

Will for ever be My Favorite Podcast - I have been listening since a few months after it began. Never really listened to podcasts before. I cannot really remember how I learned about this show, but a am still so happy I did. Karen and Georgia are funny and entertaining. It always feels like I’m a just listening to my friends talk. They are so supportive of the LGBTQIA and BIPOC communities, speaking up about how important our mental health is and in their own way sending love out into the world. Thanks so much for all that you do Karen and Georgia!! Love you and SSDGM
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 01:57:28 GMT

Not what it used to be, but still love them - I’ve listened to Karen & Georgia since the beginning and have always enjoyed the podcast, but it’s not what it used to be. Still love them, but they are clearly not as passionate as they were in the beginning. It feels very disconnected. Also there’s so much promoting in the beginning I just fast forward through all that. Karen is an amazing story teller and love her on Do You Need a Ride.

‘Cold’ is a Powerful Must-Listen Because of Dave Cawley - I’ve been listening since season and Dave Cawley handles each case with such compassion. Apart from his clear investigative journalistic skill, he’s also an excellent storyteller and host; he is an absolute delight to listen to (in spite of the subject matter). I also appreciate the attention to detail given to every case as well as this podcast’s clear mission to do something for each victim. Each of these women were more than just their murders and I think Dave Cawley does an exquisite job of telling their stories and honoring their lives, and I do hope each season makes a difference in every case. Bravo, sir.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 01:00:24 GMT

Very well done! - I am really really hooked on this podcast… You do an incredible job of making it interesting and providing so much information about this horrific crime. I love all of the neighbors' and the detectives' and the personal interviews… It really adds to the understanding of how this thing was building for so long. I really hope that this podcast will help others who are suffering from domestic violence to see the early warning signs and seek help.
Sun, 12 Mar 2023 19:39:27 GMT

A Must Listen - I am so impressed with this podcast- respectful, professional and clearly well researched. The host is excellent at weaving the narrative into a cohesive story that allows listeners to gain a sense of empathy for the victims that in my opinion, many other true crime podcasts miss the mark on. Thank you for giving a voice to not just these particular individuals but their families, friends and in a sense all women who have been victims of this type of violence.
Sun, 12 Mar 2023 17:50:57 GMT

Outstanding - Just started listening to Cold, and I’m still only part-way through Season but had to take a break to write a review because this is such an outstanding series. Dave Cawley has such a natural voice for podcasts, which is a huge thing for me after listening to so many where the narrator artificially slows their speech and puts the emPHAsis on the wrong syLLAble. The use of recorded interviews alongside historical recordings makes such an impact, and the descriptive language helped bring me into the story as if it was happening real time. I think these sorts of stories are so important in that they teach us how to recognize domestic/relationship dynamics, how to identify moments when things could have gone differently (both for individuals and investigators), and how to have empathy for others. Thank you for the story and the journey, Dave & team — you’re the best!
Sun, 12 Mar 2023 14:19:15 GMT

Unlistenable narrator - I don’t know what’s happened to the host but the over-enunciation in the second season is so extreme it’s absolutely unlistenable, I tried, a couple of times. It’s strange, incredibly unnatural and the worst part is that it’s constantly and intensely distracting. Season one was so good, why would you try to sound like my mom doing a speech-to-text? What an huge disservice to the research and effort put into this podcast. Please stop with this weird affect, speak normally, your podcasts are excellent otherwise.
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 09:04:37 GMT

After being a longtime fan, I’m out - I’m a capitalist so I get the want for subscribers. And you have the great quality. But in the end, it’s still a podcast I listen to in the car. Not a blockbuster movie. So the annoyance of letting me listen to episodes then blocking me out is too much. It’s like coaxing me into a movie theater. Letting me watch the first minutes of a movie. Then turning on the theater lights and asking for money to keep watching. Plus, I actually have Amazon music. But I don’t want the hassle of having to use another platform to listen. So I’m out. See you around Doctor Death, American History Tellers, Cold, etc. You will be missed, but also forgotten. Because other places have good enough podcasts without the frustration.
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 13:19:10 GMT

Well researched and compassionate - This podcast is meticulously researched yet somehow spellbinding. You would think all that research would be dry but it’s presented so well. Additionally- I thank the host and his team for the compassion they have for the victim. So often victims are made to feel like it is their fault, that they should have known better instead of blaming the perpetrator. But not here- we get a full view of the victim as a person.

Excellent and Heartbreaking - I have so much respect for Dan as a human being and a journalist. He listens, takes every detail into consideration and investigates with excellent skill, tenacity and honesty. He is passionate when it comes to seeking justice and it’s clear he is willing to fight every battle along the way. The compassion and heart that comes through his voice when he describes and talks about JJ is beautiful and heartbreaking all in one. JJ is such a strong human being with a hope so beautiful and strong. My heart breaks breaks for him and the horrific situation he is in. His mom and children are also being destroyed by this terrible situation, such a tragedy in itself. It scares me deeply to know I live in a country with this type of justice system. It’s like trying to knock down an iron wall with your fist. A lot of pain, endless and you just never know when or how it will end. You never know what life brings, I certainly hope I never have to experience my life or my loved ones lives being held in the hands of the justice system I hear on this podcast. I pray for JJ and hope he gets the justice he deserves. And he gets to walk as a free man, proven innocent.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 02:43:29 GMT

A sad Realization our system is broken - This podcast has had me intrigued from the moment I found it. Well written, sad to say the least, and shocking that this poor man has lost his potential because of pure laziness and corrupt people “protecting” the people. This is sad but a true realization that he was wrongly convicted for a crime he wasn’t involved with. I want to hear a happy ending and that someone got sued for millions. Keep them coming!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 22:14:21 GMT

Amazing and heartbreaking - The story is told in such a way that you feel the emotions of everyone involved. Dan is an amazing investigative journalist and tells this story in such an amazing way. It’s maddening listing to the injustice JJ has endured and I pray that he gets the justice he deserves. As I listen I can’t believe how much time goes by and no one will do anything to release him. Our justice system is broken and they don’t care that the person on trial is a human being and if they are actually guilty they just care that SOMEONE takes the blame even if it’s allowing the actual murderer walk free while an innocent man’s life is taken away by putting him in prison. The DA and detectives don’t care about the truth. And this is only ONE story of ONE man’s life. Imagine how many others there are. Truly heartbreaking
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 20:05:28 GMT

Exceptional! - The mishandling of this case is deeply disturbing. John Adrian’s resilience and Dan’s commitment are nothing short of inspiring, and the podcast is so well done. I’ve looked forward to Mondays for each new chapter. Thank you for bringing this important story to light in such a compelling and engaging way. It makes me wonder (with sadness) how many others are in a similar plight.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 19:20:28 GMT

Exceptional and heart breaking - My heart is broken for JJ, his family and everyone fighting on his behalf. The off duty police officer didn’t deserve to be shot and killed but justice is not simply making sure someone serves time it’s making sure the right person serves time. If I were the victims family I would be outraged and mortified. As far as JJ goes, I have no words. I am so sorry our system allowed this to happen. I listen every Monday and today I listened to episode and screamed out loud when it was done because I can’t stand to wait another week to hear what happens. I am captivated, gutted and heart broken as I listen each week. If JJ ever reads this, please know that we may have never met you but we love you.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 17:49:45 GMT

Prosecutors - Our legal system in the United States is absolutely broken and the ones who broke it never pay for their illegal behavior. If a guilty verdict is obtained by a police officer, detective, investigator or someone on the prosecution team hiding information in order to get the conviction, that person(s) should be punished by spending the same amount time in prison as the one wrongfully convicted.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 16:21:02 GMT

What about the juror statements?? - Listening to the latest episode- “Friendship”. Did the appeal committee not take into account the statements from the juror that they knew that he wasn’t guilty but felt pressured and bullied into voting that way because the rest of the jurors were exhausted, wanted to go home and didn’t want to be sequestered over the weekend?? That alone seems like a valid reason to grant a retrial. This podcast is infuriating in the best way. Thank you for using your platform to share these injustices.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 13:08:58 GMT

Heart Broken - Dan...your heart with both JJ and his son.. listening to you try to reason with his son over the sensibility of turning himself in. Either war, what a blessing and true friend you are to these people. My heart is broken for that family. The good that you have done and that JJ could do on the outside....ugh...it just breaks my heart that the criminal justice system is such a joke. Prayers & love to you all
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 10:37:53 GMT

Typical NYC - So far everything I’ve heard just seems like typical NYC justice; meaning once convicted you stay convicted, the NYC justice system will never admit it made a mistake and overturn a conviction!! In their mind and opinion they’re the best at investigating, they do it right % of the time and that all their conviction are % correct especially those involving the murder of a police officer! It’s completely infuriating that anyone involved in putting someone away for life could ever act this callous, reckless and arrogant let alone an entire justice system for a city especially one the size and prominence of NYC!!! Granted so far I’m only on Episode and I refuse to search anything about this case until I the end of this podcast, hopefully I hear a positive ending to this!!!
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 17:27:19 GMT

Mis-justice - I saw this podcast being discussed on the Today Show and was intrigued. I also saw advertisements on tv, which reminded me that I wanted to hear this story. After listening to the episodes I wanted more. This podcast was so eye opening to how a persons perception can sway other people more than anything else. The facts are important and this case is important, yet it ends without conclusion. Why won’t anyone take the time to rehear this case??? The fact that this man is innocent, yet DA’s and judges will NOT look at the facts. If JJ’s mugshot had been removed, since it should never have been in the system, JJ would never have been on trial. THIS is a sad fact. How many others are wrongfully convicted because of misinformation?
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 00:09:48 GMT

This is insane - Is there no one out there listening or reading this case. It’s infuriating listening about all the NOs and closed doors for those trying to bring this out to the light. I’m forcing myself not to do any searching about this case online because I want to hear how it ends. I absolutely love each episode as it’s been keeping me wanting more. Not sure how I’m going to wait till the next episode comes out. Fabulous job done with each interview!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 03:52:13 GMT

There are black Puerto Ricans - I have enjoyed this podcast so far. Completely outraged & heartbroken for this young man and his family. The only thing that is irritating me is the implication SEVERAL times throughout this podcast that Puerto Ricans can’t identify as black. Black is a race. And just like there are many races of ppl in countries/territories all over the world, Puerto Rico is no different.

John is an Inspiration - The research journalist of this podcast is an awesome person. I commend you. John Adrian is an inspiration to us all that often fight for those these which are worth fighting for but give up. Our justice system has flaws because we are flawed. I am a Christian and I too believe everything happens for a reason in our lives. God is still on His throne and He rights every wrong, sometimes not in our lifetime. I had not heard of this case because I no longer watch TV like I use too. My sister was killed in a hit and run car accident in , and that changed me. I still weep for my loss. But again, you are an inspiration. May your future hold joy with your family, especially your mom.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 10:25:02 GMT

Resilience - JJ is the embodiment of resilience. May God rewards him and his loved ones for the perseverance in the face of so much sorrow! As to the judicial system- in particular the Manhattan DA Office and the NYS Courts - shame on you that it took Cuomo to grant clemency in order to free an obviously innocent man per the laws and regulations you allegedly enforce! As for the rest of us, if ever found in a jury like the one in this case, PLEASE LETS DO THE BEST WE CAN TO DISQUALIFY OURSELVES.

Re: Point Blank about Gage & his club feet - I was born in the Sacramento (Calif) area in the early s (I was number of children) with TWO club feet. Casts were immediately placed on my feet (I still have a pair that my parents saved for me); I don’t know how frequently they were replaced or how long I wore them. One of my sisters (she is years younger than me) was born with ONE club foot — she also wore a cast on that foot (I don’t know for how long), but I do remember her wearing a brace on that leg — when she may have been years old (?). Our parents were always concerned about our feet and saw to it that we wore “proper fitting” shoes (oxfords instead of the newly appearing canvas/tennis shoes of the early s). I never had any problems with my feet over the years—except having small feet (women’s size -/ or and finding age-appropriate shoes to fit me), but I am also a small person (’ ” and lbs). My younger sister ended up with one foot one full size larger than the other, and also had to wear special orthotics. I have rarely heard of anyone else being born with this same condition and that more recently surgeries were done in attempts to correct the condition. I was never teased/bullied about it except when in junior high school (th & th grades) my parents bought me black Hush Puppy shoes that looked like boy shoes (like wingtips without the wingtips) that I had to wear with dresses (girls were not allowed to wear pants at school/church at that time—the early s). I complained about the teasing to my parents but my father (raised during the Great Depression) told me his father bought him “patent leather” shoes which he had to wear about that same age of his life. I guess that was said to make me feel appreciative that I even had good structural support shoes—he never acknowledged that the teasing was good/bad for me. However, as an adult in my business employment, I always wore high heels (a couple of inches high) and never had feet problems. I don’t know that I can wear heels now being retired and wearing flat all-purpose shoes all of the time.

Point Blank - The new series is wonderfully done. I’ve not listened to this podcast before but am glad I’ve found it. Thank you for bringing light to the tragic massacre in California. Thank you Troy McFadyen for telling your story. You are such a strong, honorable man with a such heart. And also, you have a wonderful storytelling voice and would love to hear more of your story. My heart breaks for Gage and his grandmother. Thank you for sharing and being such a strong, loving person for Gage. I hope to hear Gage finishes school and continues to heal. My heart truly goes out to you all.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 05:50:00 GMT

Usually pretty interesting - Most of the stories are interesting, but I think a requirement to be on the podcast is upspeak and vocal frye. I cannot even finish some of the stories because of the upspeak. I know these people arent professionals, but JFC it is intolerable! Also, you can usually skip the first minutes because they go into every detail of their upbringing, their parents' and grandparents' upbringing, the history of the town, and etc...

The long shadow - I have been listening to this podcast for a long time now lately I’ve been going back to play episodes I haven’t listen to yet. I came across the four part year anniversary special edition, the Long shadow about the year anniversary of . My Husband is a fire fighter in the Chicago suburbs. We have visited New York and seen the memorial for the trade center multiple times, but listening to this series of first hand accounts from all spectrums of this event really opens your eyes and you can almost feel the fear and hurt and panic from all these survivors. Thank you so much for the series. I am a forever fan.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 18:14:29 GMT

Some Hot, Some Not - Some of the stories I like such as the one about the woman who was followed into her house by a sexual predator. It was well written for listening to. Other stories are wacky. The one about the “other woman” was absurd. Recognizing some people cheat on one another frequently did not make me sympathetic in any way to this woman. She knew better from the beginning and didn’t listen to herself. And then she wanted to talk about karma. That’s even crazier. Bad things happen every minute of the day. She needs help for how she runs her life.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:33:42 GMT

Episode - It’s NOT YOUR FAULT - Thank You! I LOVE THIS PODCAST!! I really want to write this to the victim. Please send this to HIM!!! I listened to this episode recently and I just can’t get it off my mind. Please please please consider reporting the horrible person who started abusing you when you were . I know you said, some of your family and friends support her and still involve her in their lives. You realize she is tricking them like she did You? You deserve to have Validation!!! So you need to report her to the D.A., find a good P.I. I promise you she is still doing horrible things to children. She didn’t suddenly change. Know this. You said you didn’t want to report her because she has kids now and you don’t want to hurt her kids. My friend, listen to me. She is abusing her own kids and their friends. Please do what is best for you and all of the kids around her. She’s still doing the same thing now that she did to you.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 00:55:23 GMT

Crappy people - The vast majority of this podcast is good. That being said, some of he subjects shouldn’t have been given a platform to tell their stories. Whoever he guy is in episode is the most recent example of this. A repo agent who illegally used his slip tracing software to find his father, who brags about assaulting people as a teen and used every opportunity to make himself sound like a tough guy…why was he allowed to tell his “story” which legitimately wasn’t even a story - just something he had coming to him. It was like a chef getting brunt in the kitchen…you get what you sign up for. I can’t think of the other episodes that echo this but there’s been a handful where I can’t imagine how they thought these were people who should be interviewed.
Sat, 04 Mar 2023 16:49:52 GMT

Meh - I agree with a lot of the more recent reviewers that this show, while having a compelling premise, is wildly inconsistent. Some stories are gripping and fascinating, but most riff on similar themes (abuse, mental illness, infidelity) that get really tedious. I know more people personally who have wild and incredible stories than what are often featured here. And this is coming from someone fascinated by mental illness. More variety and weeding out of underwhelming “stories” is needed.

Realistic Show About Different Forms of Abuse - I made the mistake of scrolling through some of these reviews and it’s pretty interesting to see people having a hard time accepting that some people endure abuse in these situations. I don’t know what they expect but more likely than not these stories don’t end in someone walking away with their lives so it is amazing to hear some of these stories from the survivors pov. If anything I’ve noticed the pattern of negligence and trauma by law enforcement & defense lawyers in each case which should cause more outrage by people who are upset about someone staying with their abuser. Often they stay because they don’t feel protected by the police let alone laws that protect abusers. Thank you for this podcast! I’m not a crime podcast listener but I recognize the courage behind telling these stories.

Season - Very mind blowing story of what evil people can do to someone’s mind. People can wear faces and no-one knows until the bottom drops out, and their true identity is known.. The Bishop family , and their friend circle manipulated by “Evil Patty -not to mention all the peoples lives that were effected during that terrible life experience, made me sick to my stomach to hear people can be that destructive and ruin good peoples lives , just because they can .

Lex - I truly love this podcast. I really do. But I can’t sit back and not say anything. Lex Fitzgerald is an objectively terrible person. Tiffany did you even do any research? This woman and her husband are extremely racist disgusting people and should not be given a platform. I mean did you really not see any of their posts about George Floyd? About COVID? I would really recommend removing her episodes if you want to save the integrity of this podcast. I’m going to find it very hard to continue to have sympathy for future subjects knowing that you let this vile woman on. Do better.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 01:21:11 GMT

Ooof - TR, I truly love your show. I love that you use your platform for major social issues however, you may want to consider vetting your guests a little more…. The most current guest supports a lot of questionable issues that completely goes against what your podcast has stood for. I did some of my own digging and it didn’t take long to figure out that there is another sad side to this YouTube family… keep up the great work, just get guests better!!

Love but.. - I really love this podcast. I like that the stories are being told first hand. I will say however Episode was not the best. It was extremely frustrating. May I suggest that the people that come onto the podcast have a year post situation standard or an age limit because sometimes hearing a younger person speak is not as intriguing, therapeutic, captivating or impactful as a slightly older person speaking. That doesn’t mean that older people know better but maybe being slightly selective may help. With that being said, it’s difficult to understand from an outside perspective. We all still need to be kind!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:39:30 GMT

Ugh - The first few seasons were so good, but now it’s either political/racial/liberal garbage or just a boring story of a girl who ignored blatant red flags because the dude was rich. In the first few minutes of the Lex Fitzgerald episode, TR bashes the people who took so much time out of their day to make profiles to harass this girl, but a season ago she was all for the girls who created the Gravbrot page? I’m so disappointed because this pod started off so strong with great stories and now she’s just trying too hard to find “victims”. Should’ve stopped while she was ahead.

Why Does It Always Rain on Me? - Have you ever wondered what you get when you mix a God complex with a persecution complex, with an added touch of unaccountability? Then this is the show for you! Each episode features a solipsistic woman obsessed with her own perceived victimization using this platform to gloss over a lifetime of awful decisions and get congratulated for refusing to take a moment of accountability. The women complain endlessly about awful men who they…also married and had several children with. It’s a ridiculous echo chamber. The fun part is playing detective and reading between the lines to suss out the real story. Worst of all is the insufferable host Tiffany, Ms. I’m So Sorry You Had to Go Through This. She adds absolutely nothing, only occasionally interjecting with some plagiarized sass or to underline that we the audience know for sure who the heroes and villains are. But a show like this makes the villains start to look good.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:56:53 GMT

Episode is SO wrong - If I could report her for knowingly drive that man to assist with surgeries knowing he was impaired, I would. She was a willing participant, claiming she was being ‘abused’ while driving herself to his home, having evidence of his cheating and continually going back to the point of participating in threesomes she claims she didn’t want to be part of. She is as complicit as it gets.

Melb agreed - I absolutely love this show!! Like I live for it!! I listen allllll the time!!! I can’t wait for more episodes, especially when it’s a season like Jake’s. But episode was rough for me…. I couldn’t stay Interested…. Don’t know if it was the way she was telling it, or the fact that…. How many times do you have to go through something before you remotely realize something is not right…. It was a bit excessive… glad she is out of that now… love this podcast!! Like obsessed!!!

Good Podcast!!! - I enjoy listening to the your podcast. But some of the stories do have me on the edge of my sit “like RED FLAG” run girl… I like the fact that they get to tell their story from their point of view… make the stories more interesting to me… The theme song is catchy and goes perfect with your podcast… I really enjoy the stories that have more then one story… your podcast keeps me entertained while at work and my drive home. My husband listened too and ask questions…lol
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:16:13 GMT

Frustrating - It’s getting really hard to feel empathy for these women! They are not victims but equal participants. The warning flags are slapping them in the face but they continue to stay with the terrible person or break up and get back multiple times. Then there’s the genius idea to get pregnant. Yes, have a baby with this terrible person who you’ll be forever connected with. Remember people treat you the way YOU ALLOW them to.

New Listener - Just found this podcast and have binged the first two seasons. I love Tiffany’s down to Earth honesty and candor. I love the content so far. Psychological intrigue for sure. To Sarah from Season One, I am SO GLAD you listened to your family, it shows what an amazing family and support system you have! Love, love, love!! Now on season , could the whiny music when people are talking please stop though? Yikes
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 01:20:47 GMT

Episode - I love your show but I seriously had to keep fast forwarding episode . Just too challenging to keep listening to her keep doing the same things over and over and over again. I get that it may be the whole truth but just exhausting. The Jake season was also challenging but this particular episode just kept exhausting me. That said, I’ve enjoyed most of the shows and will continue to listen.

that theme song - the theme song is so unspeakably bad, i skip it every time- the abrupt ads sandwiched up against extremely sensitive stories always shocks me- it feels tacky and cheap to not put in some transitional music before/after the ads , which i would love as long as it’s not that horrid theme song! i also think some of these stories just aren’t stories. i’m sure they feel like stories to the people they’re happening to, but the first season is just a very tame episode of the show catfish at best, i was waiting for some larger truth- but the people it happened to sounded largely sheltered so it probably felt significant to them. I also find this podcast irresponsible in its depiction of the mentally ill. reading the DSM doesn’t mean you’re treating the person in question with compassion- depicting them as true crime instigators when they’re victims themselves is SAD! Anyway. this is a guilty pleasure,, it’s cool how pretty much anyone can have a podcast now exploiting the pain of others

What even. - I’ve been listening to this show since the beginning and Loved most of the episodes, but Gianas story is mind boggling. The fact that you could have left times and chose to stay? And her family. Ugh. I could not stand the entire story, please choose who’s story you share because there’s a difference between them. This Emilia Character, WHAT EVEN. She would DRIVE HIM DRUNK TO THe hospitals STUPID STUPID STUPID.

Be more selective - Tiffany please be a bit more selective with who you choose to share their story. I am starting to realize that maybe you just don’t have that many people wanting to tell their story and have to just let anyone come on the podcast. I think you’re desperate for content so you’re not vetting these people. Oh and PLEASE stop saying “I’m so sorry” or more times in a single episode— you sound extremely inauthentic and robotic. This podcast isn’t going downhill, it’s already at the bottom.

Oy these women - My frustration isn’t really about the podcast so I should probably give a higher star-rating. My frustration is with this group of women in the podcast. They have to be the single largest group of dumb dumbs I have ever heard of. Oh we broke up because he was awful, then we talked on the phone and of course we got back together and of course I paid for everything and of course he was talking to someone else while he was with me because OF COURSE I AM THE STUPIDEST WOMAN ON THE PLANET! Are these people in their teens or early ’s because they sure sound like it. Don’t come at me about narcissism- I was married to the king of narcissism for years. This guy just got away with what he was allowed to because these women had no boundaries and no self-esteem. I’m glad (hope) this season is winding down because I am over it. Stupid I tell you. Stupid. YOU HAVE THE WORST SHOW SONG!!! More episodes- more stupid women! Who is raising these females?!?!! If this particular woman says “he made” me one more time I’m going to scream. Did he have a gun to your head?

I’m so terribly sorry - “I’m so terribly sorry” that your podcast has been going downhill. I get that it’s tough to hit the nail on the head every episode, but you have completely missed the board this season. Every single person you have had on the show has severe character flaws. From the gold digger who somehow didn’t realize what she was to the man she was with you thr trio of therapist who judged a woman who has real mental issues and you allowed them to bash her for it but never once asked how they could have help her with the resources they use on everyone else who comes asking for help. Or better yet how you call the FBI on Jake but you let a drunk doctor go around and see patients and all you have to say is “I’m sorry”. You are a joke at this point and I really hope you do better vetting process for further episodes cause all the online communities I’ve seen also agree with this. Do better if you are going to post how much you want to help victims.

You gave him more than minutes of your time - Your are your problem. You are creating all this crazy Get serious help. Keep your own company. Why did you do all this crazy. I’m so sad for you. You must not be well for participating in any of this anything - conversation behavior anything. Just stop it. Only get help and be peaceful. STOP THE CRAZY YOU ARE DOING IT. IM SO SAD FOR YOU. YOU ARE REALLY BAD OFF. PLEASE GET HELP YOU ARE WORTH IT

Seriously?!? - I lost brain cells from listening to Emilia and her unbearable story. This podcast has gone downhill significantly these last few seasons, and I can no longer stick it out. It’s turned into a bunch of women who are only “survivors” by choice. They need to do a lot of self-reflection about why they ignore such major red flags. Tiffany, how desperate are you?? Please start vetting your interviewees, and find real survivors to give a platform to.

Found my perfect podcast - I freaking love this show. It’s a great blend of history, true crime, environmentalism, adventure, and a bit of humor, and the hosts tell the stories in an engaging & insightful way. They’re close friends with shared interests they’re excited to talk about, so if you’re mad about all the “banter,” I’d find a different podcast. Personally, I love all their conversations, but that’s probably because I genuinely want to be friends with Cassie and Danielle. Also, I’d love to have a podcast like this with my best friend, it seems like a blast. Anyway, keep up the amazing work, ladies! Hope to see you at a live show soon

Interesting - I’ve been listening to your show for a few weeks, and have loved it. Yesterday it broke my heart to hear about your loss of Ian. I cried when you did the night of the grizzly story and the loss of both young women, human beings who suffered immensely to habituated bears. Today I learned we were in The same room in “creepy”, truth or consequences NM for mexican wolf NEPA meetings. As an impacted rancher it was a surprise to me that i was in the same room for completely opposite reasons. Our small rural communities have very little representation on these issues and now that the usfws are feeding every den for six months andthen allowing the wolves to kill our cattle without mitigation, I find itoff-putting that people understand the habituation issue but if it ishappening deliberately by agency personnel causing horrible problems for others, they are still ok with it. I guess the ends justifies the means.

CRIMINAL puts me in my place… - When I’m immersed in a criminal story, while driving down the road to the grocery store, or to work, or cutting the grass or washing the dishes, or picking up the kids, criminal reminds me that their are thousands upon thousands of other lives going through other situation’s telling other stories, and that I am but one among many and that my problems are but small ones.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 16:58:15 GMT

Their agenda is Criminal - I have been a subscriber of this podcast for a long time but am unsubscribing today. They’ve veered from unbiased, deep-probing to agenda-driven podcast. This isn’t the podcast it once was and that’s a shame. If I want my news fed to me with liberal doses of bias and agenda, I’ll watch mainstream media. Criminal has joined their leagues. Disappointing. Recently, Phoebe profiled a self-confessed and convicted bank robber who escaped from prison, feloniously forged a birth certificate and Social Security card, and bribed a DMV employee to get a fake drivers license. He created a new identity and lived freely for almost years. The show seemed to glorify this criminal and give him a free pass because he was a “good father and good husband.” The “rehabilitated” convict laughed and did not voice remorse, but they still glorified him in the episode. I see nothing charming, funny, or worthy of glorification in this story. And this is not the only story I have heard on CRIMINAL depicting criminals as martyrs or heroes. Am I wrong for not admiring or rallying behind this man, a liar and thief who committed multiple crimes but got a free pass because he went on to be a good father and husband? Shouldn’t he have been a good father and husband regardless? And does that minimum standard really exonerate one from crimes committed? I don’t think so. The anti-police rhetoric is as annoying as Phoebe’s breathy enunciation.

Favorite podcast! - I’ve been listening to Criminal for a few years and I love it. Most true crime is about murder and involves hosts talking to one-another. That can be boring and depressing. Criminal is different. It looks at the stories behind crime and interviews someone who has a connection to it. It’s clear how much research goes into each episode. Also, can we talk about Phoebe’s voice? The absolute best on the air. You guys brighten my days-thanks!

Where are the music credits? - I love this podcast. It’s a fantastic show. Everything you’ve put into it is first rate. Im sure the drawings are spectacular as well. But they don’t enhance the quality for me on this end. The music on the other hand is very important. Your selections are on point. How come you never give credit to the composers and producers? Please keep up the phenomenal work of producing this show. Thank you.

Fantastic - I am entranced. I enjoy the history and storytelling. I love Phoebe Judge’s pleasant, non-confrontational presentation style. I recently listened to the episode describing the clerical consultation service. OMG, I had know idea. Being a non religious person this has truly opened my eyes to the fact that there are many in the religious community that really care about peoples suffering and will risk all to take a stand. Their endeavors are worthy of honor and respect. Thank you for highlighting this hidden history, it has truly changed my view on the clergy and their role in American society.

Didn't want to join the chorus of critics, but... - I liked and - I loved Bob Cooley story, despite his faults. Really worth your time to listen to season and - so stars! As to , well this one intrigued me at first but I really thought you were heading towards something with Esther and Brooke, and the spy business, only to find that you really were just telling the story of Esther, a con woman who was clearly using life challenges to cover for crime. Am I wrong or didn't episode really imply you had more on Brooke? Oh well.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 01:46:09 GMT

Esther is a con woman - Esther should not be celebrated nor have so much of this this podcast devoted to her story. She is a scammer and a thief - who had no problem stealing from her family. There should have been more attention paid to Brooke, the true victim. Also the cop that still thinks Esther was a spy despite all the evidence showing she’s just a scam artist explains why so many cases go unsolved.

Great first two seasons. S gets complicated in a frustrating way. - The first two seasons (covering the war on drugs and corrupt Chicago politics) are great listens. Intricate sociopolitical ecosystems filled with colorful and complicated characters. The third season, however, lacks the same sort of nuance and instead turns into a puff piece that glorifies a con woman. Like many "missing girl" podcasts, they never find the missing girl. Instead we get a portrait of the woman who stolenumerous identities, committed fraud, then fled from the FBI. The story itself is rich. The final episode, howver, then turns her into a saint. "Undiagnosed anxiety disorder" gets the blame for most of her problems, along with a "toxic" family life. The season ends with Esther delivering her own TED talk, exonerating herself, blaming the criminal justice system, insisting that the word "rehabilitation" is problematic, then announcing that she is reclaiming her identity. There is a version of this podcast that pushed back against Esther's version of the story, rather than let her drive the narrative. I found myself yelling at the radio towards the end, which is either the sign of a provocative podcast or a poorly reported story.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 22:49:22 GMT

Good storytelling, too bad focus is on jerks - Jake is a great host and storyteller and obviously dug deep to share compelling interviews and interesting details. It’s just annoying to me that Bob Cooley, totally lacking self awareness and egotistical contradictory self-martyr gets so space to tell his story when there are so many more interesting people and perspectives. Another chance for a clueless guy to fail up in the history books.
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 14:36:56 GMT

Each of the people profiled were hard to sympathize with - I thought the show itself as far as the host and the structure of it was good but I couldn’t get through any of the seasons because I found each person to be distasteful. I felt the show was being too sympathetic to each one when in reality they were all bad people. it seem like the show gave a platform for these people to brag about their crimes. Even in the third season in which the person has some mental health issues, she’s still conned people and institutions out of a lot of money and always acted like this innocent young girl who didn’t know any better.

st series were great. Warning: spoilers - rd Series seems sidetracked. A woman goes missing. She may have been killed. Someone using her name turns up in NYC. It’s not the original lady. Her id was stolen by the person in NYC who did not have any connection to the st woman other than stealing her identity to start a new life for reasons that might be nefarious or not. The st woman’s plight seems forgotten about.

Only listened to part of season - I don’t enjoy giving poor ratings and reviews — I want to love the podcasts I listen to! Sadly this podcast wasn’t as high quality as I’d hoped. I only listened to season (after I heard an ad for it while listening to another podcast) and stopped listening partway through episode . It almost felt like the host was flirting with the main subject in some of the interview clips, which was … uncomfortable. To be fair, I didn’t have high hopes after he described The X-Files as starring David Duchovny, with no mention of the brilliant Gillian Anderson. I don’t plan to listen to any other seasons of this podcast because I value education over entertainment in investigative journalism.

Scenes from Freddy Got Fingered have been duplicated in other films and this style of comedy has been imitated by many after its release and rise to classic status, which echoes the fact that Freddy Got Fingered is a masterpiece! Unbelievable that Tom Green also directed it too..He created a new genre of comedy.

goodbye ao scott - i disliked this episode because of the way it discussed critique, the film industry, and the present hollywood movie. i have enjoyed ao scott's reviews and admire his perspective. The Daily as an entity is not educated in film or film criticism which is revealed with each of MB "hmm's and ah's" after everything mr scott says. also the editing seemed all over the place with music and clips tossed here and there like the producers have listened to one too many radiolab (base & vile) episodes. this show was ground breaking and appreciated in the early days the trump debacle but now the show needs an overhaul. It's sense of empathy and perspective have become drudgery and a stand in for a less informed audience. It's beginning to stink.

Excellent reviewing of critical news stories - This is a top go-to for subjects in the news that need explanation and in depth discussions with expert journalists. A worthy podcast to check out each day. Mr. Barbaro has a unique talent for speaking in slow cadence that is easy to follow and for summing up key concepts in succinct and understandable sentences. His colleague Ms. Tavernise is following suit.

This show is what’s wrong with the left - As a liberal leaning person, this show constantly get the message wrong. There is more fear mongering, hypocrisy and straight out ignorance on this show than most. Listen to the most recent episode with the movie critic. My advice to that guy, get off of Twitter and step into the real world. As a marvel fan, most of my friends are NOT marvel fans and I don’t “hate them” as this show would have you believe. This podcast is just a show where people go and complain that the world isn’t what it used to be. Get over yourselves NY Times.

The Daily - I’ve been an avid listener for many years. The show is a treasure of timely topical and important news. I’ve enjoyed listening despite Michael’s melodrama, the too frequent pregnant pauses and the campy music. My interest in listening has faded a lot in the past year or so as alternative hosts have become a norm. While I appreciate Sabrina’s deep understanding of the war in Ukraine, her other interviews sound rote and electronic. I’d swear she is an AI chatbot. My request is more of Michael and less of the others. Lance

Sunday Read Narrators - Such a refreshing listen to hear today’s Sunday Read being told by the writer himself. So often I am compelled to listen, with the writer explaining the story at the beginning, but then be disappointed to hear the story be told by a half-human-half-robot voice. The story is so much more interesting being told by the writer, as it was their experience that creates the tone of the story being told. Please do away with the “read by” narrators!

Biased and sensational - We criticize the “hmmm”s and background music in the reviews so y’all make start making statements on the podcast of why these are important… UPDATE: I take back my first statement in my review after you did a serious piece on Birds Aren’t Real… The podcast topics are interesting, relevant, and provide a lot of detail to the topic. However, the presentation of the topic is sensationalized through the host’s tone, especially in those “hmmm”. I don’t see the need for the podcasts background music either to highlight for us what’s good/bad. I’m on the left but would appreciate a podcast that doesn’t tell me how I should align on the topics, especially in the slightly subconscious ways you do. Y’all gonna start listening to peoples feedback on this or keep doubling down and telling the listeners why it’s important? Your ratings on this pod are dropping. People like the content but not the reporting or your reporters.

France battle over retirement - I always said if our sock puppet two party system threatens to cut social security or Medicare ,citizens here would protest like French citizens . I doubt it now .why ? January protesters are in jail whether justified or not .Americans care more about multi tasking to the point of exhaustion as well as dealing with an inefficient system that occupies every minute of the day just reporting back to the big societal monolith .

They are careful not to cover stories that go against the NPR liberal narrative - Would love to hear the TRUTH which means balanced stories. They conveniently are not covering stories that don’t support NPR’s liberal narrative. Major news stories are not being covered all of a sudden because they tell the truth about the Biden administration and that is an inconvenient truth. Would Love to find a a news source that talks about facts and represents the American people not the politicians

Love this show but please get rid of Christina… - I don’t mean to be rude and maybe she just needs some training/feedback but her shows are painful to listen to. I sometimes power through if it is a topic I want to hear about but I find it hard. Her main issue is constantly paraphrasing/repeating the questions she asks the guests. She restates the same question and it just isn’t necessary/makes her sound a little uneducated. For example: So if the researchers didn’t think this was an issue why did they recommend it? I mean what was the reason for recommending it?” Or “I guess what I’m saying is…” As if the listener or the guest couldn’t figure out what she was saying in her very clear and direct question. Please give her this feedback!

Please cut the terrible bkgrnd music - Weird new editing game where the guest reporter repeats verbatim what just said in a soundbite. What even is that? I nearly stopped listening to The Daily because of the obnoxious cadence of the hosts’ speech. It’s as though. NYT teaches hosts. To only speak. In sentences. Of two. Or three words. I found a solution to that with some ingenious audio trimming available in the PocketCasts app. But I have yet to find a way to cut out background music. Fingers crossed, though.

E.S.G Addendum - Love this cast but I think there is one element that was missed. One main point that has been raised by elected officials and others is the lack of a unified standard for defining ESG. An entity may meet the ESG requirements of one company or business but may not meet the requirements of another. The concern is that these large investment groups can arbitrarily change their standards at any time. The need for a federally defined standard should be a focus of the Administration if they continue to promote ESG. Just a thought.

Love podcast but ESG story feedback - Interesting ESG podcast but when u said republicans are likely worried about loss of CEO’s/businesses, I wish u would have explored other ideas for why they are fighting ESG which I actually believe was cited later in your podcast with what you said most CEO’s will say…they feel these ESG issues are important for their businesses but don't want to be told/legislated/politicized. Inherently, this is what I feel conservatives want - what their principals tell them is right for our country so you can spin it as loss of power with CEO’s but I think u are missing the full story. Just wish u could try to come at it objectively “what would someone on this side of the argument say and then what would the other side argue”. The spin of your discussion misses the boat sometimes. Please try to improve this as much as possible as I do appreciate arguments on both sides but hate when Im basically yelling at the podcast when it seems like u are drawing one sided conclusions.

Such a great educational news podcast - I absolutely love The Daily and have been listening since it first started years ago. I have learned so much and I am often surprised by what I find interesting even if the title/subject doesn’t sound like it’s up my alley. Mike and Sabrina are wonderful hosts (and human beings in general), and I’ve gotten to know and love the guest reporters and journalists that they often have on as well (have to name check Kevin Roose, Adam Liptak, Carl Zimmer and Michael Schmidt - and there are so many other awesome people that they have on). They are trusted voices in my mind. The storytelling is superb and the music is always amazing. By far one of my favorite podcasts and sources of news.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 13:57:00 GMT

Hmmm and hawww - Great show, but Michael, the incessant hmmmm’s, ahhhs, and mmmhmmms are a distracting nuisance and add nothing to the arc of your stories. We aren’t listening to hear that you find something interesting or surprising. We are listening because we are interested in the subject matter. Your job is to probe your interviewees to provide in-depth content that we listeners can deem interesting or not. You don’t need to editorialize with these constant guttural utterings. If you aren’t advancing the story consider holding your tongue.

Justifying kidnapping , Ukrainian children? Really? - In the March episode they were talking about Russia kidnapping Ukrainian children and forcibly assimilating them into Russia… And after the journalist said that out of , children kidnapped, barely have been returned… The host said (verbatim) “Stepping back here… these were children that for the most part, like Anya, were taken from group homes and orphanages, and placed in families in Russia. And yes they’re being fed this Russian propaganda about their own native born country and Russia, but it seems like—just to play devil’s advocate —they’re in potentially better and safer environments than they were before.” This is an absolutely vile take. NYTimes continues to suffer from “both sides-ism” but this is a new low, making excuses for Russia kidnapping children from their homes & playing right into the Russian propaganda narrative. Kidnappers & aggressors don’t need “devil’s advocates” and strategically targeting the most vulnerable children that have no advocates shouldn’t be praised or defended.

Use own voice- how to help in Ukraine? - I have been listening daily for about years now, it took time to get used to Michael’s unique diction. Now that Sabrina is hosting I’m noticing she has the same diction and I wish she would speak like herself. Please! Regarding reporting on the Ukraine please stop reporting the war like it is a sporting event. I want to know what is happening, but I don’t want to be a voyerist of someone else’s terror. How can others constructively help instead just peering into their terror?

Why Russia is Taking Thousands of Ukrainian Children - It was repugnant to hear Sabrina Tavernisi ask a “devil’s advocate” question regarding Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. What was the point of asking (paraphrase): well, they were taken but aren’t they in a better safer, places? Isn’t there a better way to get information? It was upsetting to even have that kind of question posed- their homes were bombed, they were kidnapped, they’re being exploited, they have no say in the matter and so much more. And I’m getting tired of The Daily interview format- the forced, contrived questions that set up the info or the feigned surprise of the interviewer when they hear something they obviously already know. The topics/info are often excellent but the format infantilizes the listener.

Not so hard hitting news - With everything going on in the world, you’d think they’d always have something hard hitting to cover, but boy do these folks play soft. The Tik Tok discourse for example really showed what social media company NPR really backs and it’s the name of one of the biggest sponsor they have…Facebook. Just white noise for things like the fed increasing interest rates to levels equal to the financial crisis. It’s almost like a huge institution like capital one is also a sponsor…just another neo liberal organization posing under the guise of being leftist.

Almost Unsubscribed This Morning - Woke up to NPR’s Up First being behind a subscription paywall. While searching for a reason why this was happening, they must have corrected the issue and just included an advertisement for their subscription service. I do not believe this was accidental. NPR’s ability to quickly turn it into an advertisement rather than a paywall seems disingenuous. Always loved and supported NPR. But if this happens again, I’ll have to unsubscribe due to a breach of trust.

Interview real experts and keep your story straight - Very frustrating to listen to Up First coverage on agricultural issues. Up First needs to interview agriculture experts when doing these stories. Food prices are not going to be effect for the next two months from these floods, try they will be effected in - months from now. Additionally, California is not the bread basket state. It’s a bit annoying to listen to these episodes and in one, Up First says that Silicon Bank did not fall within the banking regulations that were removed then now say that it was the removal of these regulations that caused this collapse and not inflation. When in fact it was the Fed increasing interest rates due to inflation that caused the back to take actions which then triggered a run on itself.

Listening daily keeps me informed, which is great because I don’t naturally interact with the news much otherwise. It’s fairly unbiased, entertaining, and brief.

Great sourced information - Ben doesn’t speak on anything without sources, and that’s why I listen to him. The star reviews are literally all just snowflakes calling him names and have likely not listened to a single episode. Sometimes the truth hurts, and that what Shapiro brings to the table, an honest truth, not this “my truth” bull crap. He is a bit too religious, but that’s just who is. I don’t agree with everything he says, but he makes valid points.

I was wrong - Before I actually listened to what Ben was saying, I admit I had the wrong idea about him. However, I’ve been disillusioned with the left for a while, and after listening to both sides I’m starting to realize one side really does love America and truth, while the other hate the very idea of our country and want to make Lenin-Marxism the mainstream ideology. This is from a former socialist and leftist- I was wrong! Thank you Ben and the daily wire for opening my eyes and helping me decide to turn back to God

(If that is possible… suddenly questioning my sanity as I just argued for the possiblity of having an intelligent conversation with an insane person… )

Year Old has a conversation with his mom! - Thank you Ben! My son and I have found a way to communicate. Your show has inspired critical thinking and thoughtful conversations on the way home from school. His favorite... Biden vs. Teleprompter Mine... When he answered a sarcastic “Nothing.” to your rhetorical question “What is Biden going to do to deal with hackers?” He’s engaged, empathetic, and thoughtful because you provide him with a morality check on current events and the courage to be proud of our conservative values.

Most definitely, objectively, the best podcast - I listen to the show everyday at work. The show contains good information that is quickly and effectively delivered in a way that is drastically different than that of other forms of media. As a result of listening to the show, I now know significantly more about politics, economics, as well as issues regarding society and culture. Ben clearly and very quickly presents the most important news of the day as well as establishes his views on the issues. Ben is then capable of discussing those views in such a manner that those who listen are able to see exactly where he is coming from, regardless of whether or not they agree on his points. Again, a fantastic show. Well worth the listen.

Climate change isn’t going away - do better! - I’m a Crooked Media fan, but the last year or so I’ve been so incredibly disappointed, and honestly embarrassed, by their terrible ability to report on climate change. There have been a number of instances of inaccurate reporting on things related to climate — so blatantly misrepresented that it was clear they read one headline and that was it. Also, the Pod Save guys can barely talk climate. It’s like their one blind spot. Their episodes around the IRA etc were downright cringy. And now we’re learning that they squashed Hot Take? I’m so disappointed and honestly just don’t get it. Climate change is only getting worse and it’s not going away. So why wouldn’t Crooked try to get better at reporting on it and even motivate individuals to act (like they have on so many other pressing issues)? Incredibly disappointing to learn about this side of their business. Truly thought they were the “good guys” if you will. But it seems like it is just all politics with this company.

Milk shots and the WI State Supreme Court race - OMG, this was a fantastic episode and as a WI resident and avid volunteer w/ WISDEMS, I shared this everywhere on Social media plus, I learned a few impt. deets too. THIS RACE IS CRUCIAL. I appreciated how specific you were as to WHY this is & put in perspective for me how much further WI is in not only a swing state but we could be considered ground zero as a battleground state for . We NEED to take back democracy here, and this is our one shot to do it & we won’t get this opportunity again for quite some time. So THANK YOU for doing this episode LIVE from Madison, WI as it was an informative as well as entertaining podcast. Special thanks to Ben Wikler and Mandela Barnes too!!

/ Episode - disappointed by the whole “social awkwardness attacks” - I love the show and look forward to each new episode on Tuesdays and Thursdays. However, I was a bit triggered today by the shots taken at Ron DeSantis’s voice and social awkwardness. I hate and fear the guy, what he is doing to Florida, and what he could do to America if he was elected president. But, to quote a comment I recently saw on YouTube about a piece on Ron DeSantis, “Whether it’s in a political setting or not, these designations of someone being a "weirdo" because they are socially awkward is kind of demeaning to every "weirdo" that is not an authoritarian piece of trash.” You get the idea. There are a lot of people who are not comfortable with social interaction, including people with Asperger’s and autism. That doesn’t make them despicable, doesn’t mean they hate human interaction, and doesn’t make them deserving of judgement and/or mockery. You guys are better than that. Now, if you guys want to say DeSantis hates people and provide examples that justify your claim and that show people why this is scary, that’s another story. And I don’t see any problem with commenting on how social awkwardness might be a con for when it comes to winning electors during a presidential campaign. It’s a reality - although I would argue that for all his charisma, Donald Trump is really socially awkward and that didn’t prevent him from winning in . But hitting on the mere social awkwardness aspect is a road you should not take. On an another note: THANK YOU for your discussion on the oil drillings recent decisions. I appreciated your analysis. I wish Joe Biden had people from his government discussing this decision and explaining it during interviews, etc. (even if he doesn’t necessarily need or want to disclose all the ins and outs). It would help fellow Democrats understand this decision and feel less betrayed. I also appreciated your comments about how not everything is about politics. It infuriates me to hear every decision made by politicians discussed through the lense of “politics” over and over in the media. This just reinforces the notion that politicians are making decisions just for optics and to be reelected. How about belief, conviction, and, as you explained here, pragmatism? Keep up the great work!

Why analyze their campaigns in depth? - While we do need to hear news regarding what the Republican Party is doing, why spend SO much time advising Desantis and Trump on how to better run their campaigns? Could we please hear more about what WE should be and are doing to be successful (and opinion about what we’re doing wrong)? Maybe more discussion about the philosophy and history of the Democratic and Republican Parties and how/why they are evolving? I value your collective experience, intelligence, and sincere concern about our country.

Follow Booker, Unsubscribe PSA - Update: Corey Booker is wonderful. Thank you for all you do, and your lovely effort to educate PSA about vegan food. From Tommy’s opening “joke”(?) about delicious vegan food being a contradiction in terms, to Jon L avoiding the senator’s good natured encouragement with everybody-does-it inanity and more bad jokes, PSA squanders an important opportunity in favor of their usual unfunny bro-formative nattering, further enabling the cruelty and environmental devastation of non-vegan diets. Last straw. —— Previous Review: No, Jon F, respectfully, as any animal welfare advocate, rescue activist, or shelter worker will tell you, giving a puppy for Christmas or any occasion is a terrible idea that leads to many being neglected, abandoned somewhere, or dumped at shelters to be euthanized. Entire families, that the puppy will become a part of, must be included in that decision and collectively commit to caring for this living being for their lifetime, rather than perpetuating their being regarded as "things" and objects to be "gifted" and often cast aside. Will you please undo the damage of your unthinking or misinformed recommendation by learning about this issue and then recanting it publicly on the show? Feel free to contact me, as I have long experience with this from cleaning cages at shelters to fostering animals to serving on task forces and city advisory boards, updating, proposing, and passing animal care standards and ordinances. Also (constructively, I hope) another frustrating example of such negative-enablement is your recurrent take on Joe Manchin. Despite readily available reporting of his corruption, and even when Tommy and Dan finally cited this on separately if briefly, each time you dismissed it with, "I think he's just an idiot," or it's because WV is so conservative and what else can be done. No. He is not "just an idiot;" he knows exactly what he's doing and how he's getting paid, so you've been misdirected (even if by yourself). Manchin must be held to account for his corruption, and it must be called what it is. And that's the fight to un-seat him. It should be clear by now that these Republicans (even some corporate-corrupted Democrats) cannot be out-messaged or "convinced" otherwise, not when they are incentivized and enriched by their greed, corruption, and lies, but they also get away with it. They must feel legal, personal consequences to their actions, and no amount or quality of messaging will work without it. And we must restore the Fairness Doctrine(!) and enforce those standards, too. Thank you if you've read this - I appreciate your time and your kind and generous heart, and especially your good work.

Great personalities, captives of the progressive left worldview, - They say the problem with the Republican Party is that their voters are crazy and the problem with the Democratic Party is that their donors/activists/staffers are crazy. This podcast proves that point for the democrats at least. The democratic base is actually quite moderate according to most every poll and election (hi Biden victory in ) but the party and its elected officials are captive to an extreme class of primarily white progressives educated at elite universities where they’ve never met a moderate religious Hispanic let alone a Republican. These leftist Cornell/Stanford grads make up every democrat’s staff in Washington and are convinced that the Bernie Coalition is times its actual size. They’ve lost any shred of the Clintonian instinct to triangulate and appeal to a moderate audience and they’re bleeding nonwhite working class voters as a result. It would be one thing if Pod Save America was conscious of their unpopular worldview vis-a-vis the average voter and tried to make a case for woke politics to a skeptical listener, instead they clearly have disdain for that kind of persuasion and can’t imagine that they might be the vanguard of a condescending minority alienating their own voters.

Boomer likes the laughs - And I'm learning a lot about the kids these days! No really it's a good show, funny and informative and aggravating re the political mess we're in. Even the ads are funny and I've tried a few products. They suggest places to donate too. Of course they do. These guys, I don't always agree with them, but they really know what they're talking about because they were in the Obama administration. They have some very good guests. They're concerned about how government serves people. The audio is good. One or two of them used to be hard to understand but they've gotten much better. Still sometimes I don’t hear Lovett's jokes. Everyone is laughing and I'm saying what? It's a good show for political junkies

I tried. - I just finished my fifth attempt to make it through an episode. Did these guys graduate from Valley High? Listening to their conversations is torture. The millennial accents combined with their smug ignorance is just too much. If you have ever wondered why “boomers” have trash talked the millennial generation, all you need to do is listen to this podcast for more than five minutes and you will have a pretty clear understanding.
Mon, 27 Feb 2023 23:35:28 GMT

At what point is it not about trump? Th - I like crooked media, I love “ Lovett or Leave It” and enjoy a few of their other shows. The problem with Pod Save is that it is % a Democratic Party mouth piece that ignores or discredits actual leftist view points as impractical. It’s centrist and focuses on maintaining the status quo so that those in power can maintain power. The only value this show provides is a look into the liberals, who have no connection or understanding of the material conditions of the American people.

Another Brilliant take - Matt’s take on Uganda and the lefts ridiculous denial of their colonialism is perfect !!! How can they constantly attack the west of colonialism by spreading Christian virtues through out the world pre st Century and yet not acknowledge their own colonialism by spreading wicked demonic virtues in the name of democracy We live in clown world , I just hope and prey there enough good and just people left in our lost nation to take it back to real virtue before it’s to late Unfortunately, it may already be to late , but we must not give up
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 02:13:10 GMT

I would give Zero Stars if I could - Matt Walsh is the definition of a bigot he claims to know how the world should work and he presents his facts in a way where he might be able to sway people who are on the fence. But the truth is he lives in a black and white s world and he wants everyone to be that way. A world where men are the bread winners and woman stay home and take care of a yank of children. A world where if you are different in any way you tamp it down and you follow the status quo. The problem is the world is not and has never been black and white it’s always had shades of gray. There have been gay, transgender and non-binary people since the creation of earth. There is actual evidence to support this. This man spews hate and malice and claims to know what God wants and how God created the world. But since he is in fact not an immortal who has been here since the beginning how the world would he know what it was like in the past. All I can say is that I pray for his six kids and that they can grow up and learn that their fathers bigoted ways are not how a person should live.

Matt is gangsta!! - To be honest, when I first began listening to Matt, I wasn’t really into him. He seemed like an annoying grumpy old man and I didn’t listen often. But eventually I began to understand his dry humor and heartfelt faith and passion for defending those most vulnerable. Now he is my most anticipated listen every day. I like all the DW hosts, but Matt has soared above all the rest. Congratulations;)

Great Show Throttled By Apple - One of my go to podcasts, if I’m in a crunch I listen to the “Best of” even though I prefer the full show. Have been a pod cast listener of the show for years. Over the last several years I’ve noticed issues with the shoe auto updating, play back errors etc that have just become worse. Look for Podcast . apps as alternate platform. Never have issues with the show there. As well as a majority of my other Podcasts I listen too.

Look forward to every episode - Glenn is my favorite podcast! I eagerly await his program everyday! Him and Stu make me think, but more importantly they make me laugh. Although they cover all the difficult topics of the day and the diagnosis is usually not sunshine and roses, they somehow manage to interject humor and hope. You can’t figure out how to best prepare for a problem if you don’t first understand the magnitude and extent of the situation at hand (the doom and gloom part) but once you’ve gleaned an understanding you can research, institute a plan, and take measures either as an individual or as a collective on how to, in a civil way proceeding in mitigating the impact. I have faithfully listened to Glenn and his team for many years and truly appreciate their program.

The Most Trustworthy Voice in Media - Long Time Listener First Time Reviewer. Glenn brings truth to his audience every day whether it supports or runs counter to his preconceived understanding. He is a passionate, honest man pursuing what is right for the American people. At times, Glenn’s honesty can be depressing, but he always (eventually) offers listeners a hopeful message explaining why and how persistent faith in God and our nation’s foundational principles are best. His interviews are engaging, thoughtful, and provocative particularly when his guests disagree. Glenn shows how to have respectful conversations with “the other side” of any issue. Not shouting, but seeking to understand then discussing differences of facts observed, opinions and ways forward.

Regularly listener, Kara fan, - But I did not have on my bingo card that Scott would buy into the knee-jerk blame the victims routine in this ridiculous and dangerous culture war, a la Bill Maher. And, belittle Kara. Something weird is going on with Scott’s focus on men in society. Seeing a clear problem with men being left behind is one thing, but losing sight of the humanity of “woke” people (read LGBT) undermines what Scott us trying to accomplish.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 17:08:01 GMT

Scott’s pro-tech layoffs are inhumane and baseless - Scott’s take on the tech layoffs is completely inhumane and capitalistic. People lose their livelihoods from layoffs and his response is “no one will miss them”. His narrative that companies “over hired” and have lots of “fat to cut” is completely baseless. No data or evidence supports his claim. Instead, he roots for shareholders and execs to get richer at the expense of the middle class. Scott’s goal is to protect the rich at all costs.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 19:59:13 GMT

Snarky - I used to really look forward to these podcasts but anymore it’s more snarky than informative with too much sexual innuendo from Scott. They lost me completely when they jumped on the cancel Joe Rogan wagon train. i gave them another try then they led the mob to go after Musk and they became unbearable Kara’s would benefit from some humility, her ego and name dropping is insufferable. They’ve gone too far in participating in the polarization of our culture and have lost their charm and reduced themselves to dunking on companies, VCs, CEOs (Scott’s obsession of Jack D then Musk) and politicians without much else to offer. No original thinking or ideas. Just snarky announcers.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 03:52:35 GMT

Too much name-dropping - Scott Galloway is very interesting. Kara Swisher name-drops constantly. The patter about travel sounds like bragging and is boring. A minute or two of pleasent banter about life is fine, but it feels like being seated next to two people on a plane who can’t stop talking about themselves. Again, I think there are interesting insights here but the constant bragging about their lives gets old.

Kara ‘n Master - March : of Pod: “Tesla’s remarkable … it’s obviously overvalued.” Hence, children, we hear what and who Kara values above all else - Her Master Elan and Share Price “Supportive of Elan” As per Kara’s underling on December. Nah. Try blindly obedient for years. Kara knows who makes those offshore deposits, and when to hide, such as last week when Elon blew up Twitter and Tesla and Kara ran not one but two Best Ofs and otherwise said nothing.
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 18:03:10 GMT

Kara is annoying - I find Kara Swisher super annoying with her constant interruptions of other people talking with yeah, yeah, go ahead yeah but, anyway, and so on. Hey Kara, maybe you need to go back to the drawing board and learn professional hosting skills. Learn to zip it. Second, she does this annoying thing of saying “anyway” like a hundred times during a show. Third, she goes into an unintelligible mumbling thing speaking fast under her breath and then STARTS SHOUTING! Fourth, she is constantly sick with an unlistenable voice that should not be podcasting. I like listening to Scott, the other half, but find Kara Swisher much too annoying.
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 06:55:14 GMT

Would be five stars, but… - I absolutely love this show, but only because of Scott Galloway who always establishes interesting lines of thinking, and projects original observations as well as very creative/fresh opinions. Kara is an insufferable, namedropping, self-ingratiating egomaniac, and has been for years. Good God. Please just go do your other podcast and let Scott (and a new cohost of his choice) rock!

Love the show - Request to pivot I know this isn’t the correct way to ask questions or make requests but I can’t find the right channel (I tried Pivot web page). Anyway I just listened to an interview of Paul Ryan by Charlie Sykes. I have wanted to ask if one or both of you could interview Charlie. He is a smart, articulate, open minded conservative (I am a flaming liberal). I really like the guy. But Paul Ryan pisd me off because I don’t think he has his facts right. He is a devotee of Ronald Reagan who I think is responsible for all the negativity about government and governmental spending in the US today. So I would love it if one or both of you could interview both Charlie S. and Paul R. You are both well versed in facts so you could more appropriately confront Ryan on his questionable grasp of reality. He is entitled to his opinions even if I think they’re wrong headed. I hope you get this - I suppose I could call your voice mail. Maybe if I don’t get a response I will do that. Thanks! Love you both and all your podcasts although Pivot is my favorite.
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 20:10:37 GMT

Can't do it anymore - A couple years ago, I enjoyed this pod. Lately, K&S have devolved into their worst habits. Kara can't keep herself from interrupting everyone to plug how close she is to founders, how brilliant she is, how amazing her family is - the need for recognition and self aggrandizement is odd for someone in her position. Scott is an economic-growth-confused, capitalism-loving sentient edible who repeats obvious business and tech talking points (e.g., houses are expensive, hybrid work is here to stay, Elon is bad for Twitter, etc.). They rarely have on guests who challenge their thinking or provide valuable insight about the world. It's disappointing.
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 13:31:12 GMT

Why they hate Jews and Israel so much? :( - I can offer some general advice on how to create a podcast that promotes anti-racism and inclusivity: Educate yourself on anti-racism: Before starting a podcast on anti-racism, it is important to educate yourself on what racism is, how it manifests, and its impact on society. You can read books, attend workshops, or engage in online discussions on the topic. Diversify your guests: Ensure that you invite guests from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to share their experiences and insights on the topic. This will provide a well-rounded perspective on the issue of racism. Be respectful and mindful of language: It is important to use language that is inclusive, respectful, and sensitive to the experiences of others. Avoid using language that is derogatory, offensive, or demeaning. Avoid perpetuating stereotypes: Stereotypes can perpetuate harmful ideas and biases, so it is important to avoid making assumptions about groups of people based on their race or ethnicity. Encourage open and honest dialogue: Encourage open and honest dialogue among your guests and listeners. Provide a safe space for people to share their experiences and perspectives, and ensure that all voices are heard and respected. Remember, promoting anti-racism is a serious and important topic. It is important to approach it with sensitivity, empathy, and a willingness to learn and grow

The hosts gripe me - I was introduced to Kara from the All Things D Steve Jobs interviews. I’ve listened to this show for a over a year now and while the topics are up my alley, their constant bickering (Elon Musk is a jerk, big tech is bad, left leaning politics) have taken its toll and makes me want to not listen anymore. Like jeez, you spend your career bashing Mark Zuckerberg and then you get pissy about him not wanting to talk to you cause your _KaRa SwIsHer_ like get lost. I prolly won’t stop listening but I think this forum brings out Kara (and Scott’s) bad sides in a lot of ways.
Tue, 28 Feb 2023 23:26:53 GMT

KARA… LET THEM SPEAK! - I had given this podcast four stars but I came back and took two away. Kara… LET THEM SPEAK! Scott is the person with hands-on experience on a lot of these topics and Kara keeps cutting him off and changing the topic right when he’s about to make his point. She did this in a live show as well. For as much access as Kara brags about having to all her subjects, she acts like she has seconds to get all her questions answered. I tried listening to the podcast with Malcolm Harris about Palo Alto and he can’t get a word in edgewise. Kara keeps asking him a question and then interrupting him to answer it herself. Or, if he’s apparently not answering her question fast enough, she interrupts him really rudely. I made it about minutes into their interview before I had to pull the plug. It was too frustrating to listen to. A lot of the topics this podcast covers are also covered in the Prof G podcast. But since that’s Scott’s show, he’s actually able to get a word in. This podcast had potential, but Kara is a better journalist than she is a conversationalist or interviewer.
Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:15:54 GMT

Gems in here - This podcast is full of insightful gems… honestly mostly from Scott. Kara is an incredibly accomplished journalist but unfortunately her contribution to this podcast is a lot of insecurely saying “Me me me, I I I… I know this person and I know this other person, me me.” It’s pretty bad. And when Scott makes a rational statement and then ask Kara, “what do you think?” She’ll typically say, “I think I agree I agree with you but I don’t know I don’t know”. I wish Kara would talk more about journalism in the context of “how to” or “best practices”, not “Me me me I’m an amazing journalist because I’ve interviewed these people…” . Anyways, enjoy the pod for Scott’s business insights and deep experience and then their fun banter, or just go listen to the Prog G pod for the meat.

Thank you Warroom! - I began watching/listening to Warroom just after the big steal… YES, the STOLEN Presidential election on , November . I, Like most who aren’t stupid, realize that we are under siege by our own government, being fed lies daily by them as well as the fake news media. The only “BIG LIE” is the FACT that Biden is illegitimately installed. Our founders are screaming at us all from the Heavens in utter disbelief. Thank God for Steve Bannon and the Warroom posse. They (along with a couple other conservative podcasts) have been my only links to sanity throughout this dystopian nightmare that we have all been put through. We have been in the twilight zone for well over years now.

But I could see about . years before the steal, they were ‘done’. I started watching Warroom sometime in early . Steve’s guests have become trusted resources for me, with the exception of a few that have proven to have dubious ambitions. But, hey, being on Warroom will sift through those thugs and Warroom’s savvy posse will hold them to account. God bless you, Steve Bannon and Warroom. You are more than a lifeline than you may ever know.

WarRoom - The show that educates & engages the audience! - As a person who’s been following and analyzing politics for over years, there has never been a show like “war room” with Steve Bannon. This show separates the signal from the noise, while providing its audience with the nomenclature, statics, dynamics and critical path. By doing so the audience receives the tools they need to become ACTIVE & ENGAGED in the political process! Forget everything you’ve watched or listened to thus far… make the switch to War Room - to put yourself ahead of the curve immediately. I’ve recommended this show to hundreds of folks - and every time I do - they are amazed at the difference! It’s time to get yourself properly informed, and become a member of the “War Room Posse”. Hope to see you soon!

Daily Dose of Bannon - I was a devoted Rush Limbaugh listener and I didn't know what I would do without him in the midst of our country falling to pieces. Then, I discovered Steve Bannon's War Room. It's the best news source out there and I dare say better than Rush. Perhaps it's the times, but Steve doesn't waste a moment on frivolous topics. He covers everything from politics, finances, geopolitics, technology, health, transhumanism, to religion. His intrepid team of contributors are simply brilliant. They bring a message of hope through human agency. It's the best spent hours of my day!

Liked Candace, but leaving for the mean girl antics - I used to really like Candace. I liked her different takes, I liked that she didn’t give up on stories. She talked about the hard issues. I looked up to her that she’s a mom and grows her own food, and cooks, and is conservative. But lately, idk if it’s because I’ve recently healed from some bitterness, she has seemed really bitter. She’s been doing the mean girl thing too much, and the mocking voices are like nails on a chalkboard. Like when she does the baby voice, whiny voice, LA girl voice, or just out right mocking people or doing a voice, I can’t stand it. I am embarrassed for her. I’m embarrassed if my husband or somebody walks in on me listening to this podcast when she is doing that because their first reaction is “what the heck is that?! Shut it off! She sounds like a banshee.” So Candace I hope you take this criticism as constructive because I do like your takes, but I don’t like this mocking attitude or the imitating voices you’ve been doing.

She kept me sane and even if I do not always agree with her (which is not very often but does happen ) she makes very good points, backs up what she is saying and always makes it very clear that you do not have to agree with her when she describes some of the choices she has made in her life for herself and her family.

Then the most crazy thing was during the South Korean Armistice celebration was literally a carrier killer from Russia parked at the same pier as my carrier. So I don’t think you understand the military nor the high seas. The world is mostly water so…I enjoy your comments for the most part but the military thing is by far the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard from a civilian’s face hole.

So many interesting ideas about things that some of us can’t say or get labeled. Regardless of color or race (im from the ‘’s, we weren’t concerned with those things. We had moved past all that primeval thinking) she’s got a lot of wisdom for a youngster. Candace - if you see this, reach out. Drop a line sometime I’d love to converse!

Excellent Podcast - Candace, I admit,at first,I was listening to you and thought I could continue or just unsubscribe you.As I listened to more each day,I was convinced you are a person who has morals of yourself and don’t waiver.I like that about you and now your podcast is my absolute favorite.Keep up the good work and just shoot towards your values.It won’t be easy and you are going to hit some potholes but if you really put thought in your moves before you pursued them,you are good and sometimes if things don’t go your way,well don’t think you did wrong and are going to change.You are a good person and so is Matt Walsh.

I used to be a fan of her show. Now… not so much. - I don’t know what has happened to Candace. When I would listen to her, I used to think she was articulate and she would keep her composure while expressing her opinion. She once had a classy demeanor but, now she is the complete opposite. She has become utterly obnoxious, arrogant, hypocritical, bigoted and just a total bully. To me, her voice has become similar to the sound of nails on a chalk board. She’s that naggy and complaining Karen. It is very unfortunate that I have lost interest in her podcast. She was really going places at first but, now it’s just a never ending cycle of negativity that she creates.
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 10:32:05 GMT

Worth the listen no matter your political beliefs. - I started listening to Candace Owens recently, coincidentally around the same time I listened to Andrew Tate. It started as just wanting to listen to something controversial that I wouldn’t necessarily agree with. Then I realized I actually see a lot of great points. For me it’s worth listening because I am able to agree with the common sense points that are so well articulated that seem to be lost on society now with woke culture while still being able to stay true to my beliefs. I like my beliefs to be challenged, if I can’t rebut it then I could possibly be wrong and that’s what this podcast has done for me.

Pit Bulls - A Golden Retriever puppy often will show it’s “built in breeding” by retrieving an object without any training at all. Goldenseal have been breed for this task for generations. Can a good trainer teach a golden NOT to retrieve? Quite possibly Yes. would that trainer be shocked to find that one day that retriever actually ignored his training and retrieved without prompting? No surprise at all. Pitts have been breed to attack and kill competitively for generations. It should come as no surprise when they do what they were breed to do. Years ago in Florida they tried to enforce mandatory liability insurance on the owners. They should be eliminated as domestic animals.

ChatGPT Episode - Dear Adam, After listening to the ChatGPT episode you hosted with your fellow professor and the ex-Amazon executive, I have to say that you'd come across as a snub. Nobody doubts your intellectual capacity, but your narrow and haphazard evaluation and reaction to the Adam-like prompted ChatGPT response of simple playful questions made me shake my head. I seriously think you are one of those who overestimate themselves, as brilliant as you may well be. Perhaps you are right and you're so brilliant that the system response feels “insulting to a such brilliant mind”. Or perhaps you came across as defensive and agitated for no apparent reason. Your other line about your “brilliant superior editors friends” sounded defensive or over the top. I tell you one thing, anyone, anyone with half a brain, like your guests, can see that what this system is capable of doing is extremely impressive. And by the way, part of those answers do sound like you. If you feel they're cheese, that ought to tell you something about yourself. Also, ChatGPT answers are evidence-based buddy, you simply need to understand what is used to base the answer. In that category alone, the system proved more nimble than you. You just need to take into account the audience and the possible context into what/where the question is asked, and it is easy to understand the answer. Anyhow, just your visceral and defensive reaction left much to be desired. The guests were great though. They obviously get it and didn't sound offended or scared of the program. Maybe, just maybe, you ought to think about that. Introspection I believe it is called.

Mix in more of the sciencey episodes? - I’m guessing the original format of this podcast took way more time and effort to produce, but it would be great if we could sometimes get shows in the old format. I found that combination of style, approach and thoughtfully synthesized expertise from a range of perspectives to be so helpful and informative, with so much value and insight packed into just half an hour, I often ended up listening to episodes more than once. As another reviewer said, there are already so many one-on-one interview shows out there…

Ear Candy and Application - I’ve been an Adam Grant fan for years, devouring his books and attending conferences where he keynotes. I appreciate that the same thoughtfulness, preparation, and humor that go into those mediums is also applied to his podcast. I now look forward to hard Tuesday morning track workouts!!! I know I’ll learn some interesting things that can be applied to Work/Life and help me make sense of the human condition.

Disappointed - Listening to that episode with Liz Hoffman about Wore Corporate culture backlash was deflating. The point of views expressed are full of fear about holding corporations accountable for doing their part to make the world and work-life better. Forget about corporate responsibility…they ignored this elephant in the room. Going backwards is not the answer. Separating the public sector from the corporate sector is not the answer and impossible. The commentators and Liz Hoffman have too narrow of a view and seem reluctant to think outside the box. I expected to be inspired. But, they regurgitated the same non-working philosophies from years ago. I challenge you to step outside yourself into someone else’s shoes to gain the point of view needed to do better. I want to reclaim my time that I gave up to listen to this “talk”.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:14:24 GMT

Two words: ECHO CHAMBER - I appreciate the discussion and willingness to dive in on tough and touchy topics, but wow. A few recent episodes have shown what an echo chamber the podcast and hosts are. Specifically, the episode about new weight loss drugs was incredibly narrow and fear-mongering; presenting a very one-sided view about the dangers of extra weight. Instead of coming across as sincerely caring, they continued present a one-sided view and their tendency for confirmation bias. Not to mention the increase in prevalent of eating disorders and disordered eating, in people of every size. As a person recovering from such things, this episode was massively out of touch, dangerous, and triggering.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 16:33:06 GMT

Great business insight, but I finally had to drop it - I had enjoyed the show and how the hosts would have some excellent insights into business and markets. However, the narrowness of their understanding finally got to me with how they approached other topics. The following examples stood out to me. The inability to understand the chip blockade of China and using the dumb Iranian drones as an example of why we should keep selling advanced chips to China because it wouldn’t affect security concerns made me actually yell “that’s not how that works you idiot” out loud while driving to work. Then a later discussion about demographics and suggested policies showed a complete lack of awareness of the current realities. Affordable child care will not matter if you don’t have enough people of the right age to have children. Also, no talk of how industrialization led to lower birth rates. I mean they even had Ravi on for these discussions. I guess this kind of shortsightedness explains why MBAs have been great for cutting company costs in the short term, but failing to be ready long term. C’mon HBS.

I know this is full of information that I can use in my everyday life since I have already learned a lot. This man tells it like it is and he knows what he is talking about. I now can say I have a podcast I love and listen to often. Give it a listen and spread the knowledge and share the podcast!

It’s like a Kmart Blue Light Special up in here! - How can this possibly be FREE??? It’s like a reality show meets the Grammy’s meets the Kelley School of Business!!! The most valuable lessons come through experience and Clinton Sparks and his guests do an amazing job of sharing their experience and life lessons is the most inspiring yet entertaining way. This one checks all the boxes and is going into my regular rotation!

One of the Greatest - Not only is Clinton a virtuoso and business genius, but he’s one of the nicest guys in the industry too. There’s no wonder why he’s beloved amongst his peers. It’s this admiration in the business that allows him to secure some of the biggest and most interesting guests for his shows. Clinton has a crazy ability to know what’s going to be the next big thing. He was way ahead of his time in regards to music x video games. Impeccable timing just before that industry blew up. He also has a great sense of humor. If you haven’t seen him live I highly suggest you do so. I always crack up at his live shows he has hilarious interactions with his audience. I’m happy to see he brought that same comedy into his podcast. He really is a natural entertainer. Always a good time whether it’s in person or over his podcast.

Win Big is understatement of what Sparks brings - The Clinton sparks pod cast, Is what everyone needs in their life for life hacks, how to be a genuine human being, and for sound business advice that stands the test of time. You can tell by the tone of his voice he can move mountains with the insights given and if applied you could do the same.

Turn for the Worse - I subscribed to this podcast because I found value in the expertise that the guests brought to the table. It was always good, and every episode had something I could apply to my life. I am now unsubscribing. I am glad that Dave can answer some business owners’ specific questions. That’s a great opportunity for them, as Dave is an ideal person to have in that role. However, a lot of these questions do not pertain to me. Like many driven professionals, I am intentional about where I invest my time. I choose not to listen to Dave go on another rant about corporate America or answer a question that has nothing to do with my journey.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 22:24:39 GMT

I wish George was still hosting and Dave would let the guests speak more. - I love Dave, but man he dominates the show. I could also do without the call ins. It is just the Dave Ramsey Show .. I loved the old format with George. He would interview his guests. Now it is the have a guest that Dave knows that will kiss his butt, and prompt Dave to interject times a show. I am relistening to old episodes.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 16:56:55 GMT

Dave for the win! - Dave’s financial principles have guided me for years and have inspired me to live debt free, grow my next worth, and start a business conservatively without taking on undue risk. Now, he is helping me smartly grow my business and lead dynamic teams. His pearls of wisdom have helped me identify employees to hire, layout processes for training and on boarding new employees, set core values that resonate within my company, and really prioritize my organization’s goals by making decisions that are fiscally responsible without all of the emotion. His wisdom is communicated like a father would- simply, clearly and authentically.

I’ve been WAITING years for this! - Being a small business owner myself, I have struggled to find a way to know how to manage my thoughts and processes for owning and operating my own business… Well, not having any group of peers around me to be able to feel as if I’m not on my own, I continually over the years have come to Dave Ramsey and EntreLeadership specifically. I feel as if I am a part of a group of people listening in on a round table discussion every time I hear Dave or one of his personalities speaking on subjects that greatly interest me I hope one day I’ll be able to be a part of an actual mastermind group, but for the time being, I can’t say enough on how amazing it is to actually have Dave be the one posting this particular podcast, I feel like he is the father-figure coaching me along the way, and at times yelling at me when I needed it, but may have been too bullheaded to see straight… I will forever be a FOREVER EntreLeadership and Dave Ramsey super fan!

Petition to bring back George - Dave should have started his “remodel” as a new podcast completely separate from the platform, content and followers George created.. This went from my favorite podcast every week.. to not even wanting to tune in anymore. I love the Dave Ramsey network and I respect everything that he has done for himself and helping people, but times have changed and a call in radio show is not it..
Tue, 28 Feb 2023 08:21:03 GMT

Absolutely fantastic! - I have been a D.R. listener for a very long time and I have not heard Dave this excited in a long time talking about a subject. You can tell Dave is bursting at the seams to help small businesses through this pod cast. This pod cast almost seems to have given him new life. I plan on listening to every episode. And the Ramsey show as well of course. This one is a winner. Excited for the future.

Laura Beth Burr - Hey, bear! I’m a sophomore in high school and live in Turtletown, Tennessee - located near Ducktown, TN and Hanging Dog,NC. I absolutely love this podcast! “Hello folks”, “hey bear”, “we’re having a good time” and many other Nateland sayings have joined my family’s daily vocabulary. A friend and I had to make a rule to not say “hello folks” (or basically anything referencing the podcast) because it became obsessive. You guys are the best! Thanks for all y’all do! For the record I think Nate’s reading skills are superb :)

Emotional support towel - Hi guys, I love your podcast so much. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a year old and month old. I keep EarPods in all day and listen to Nateland so I don’t go nuts because…kids. It truly feels like I’m hanging out with some friends (adult friends!). On the last episode you guys were taking about the towel you keep on stage when you all perform. You were all saying that you didn’t really know why you had it up there which reminded me of what I call my ‘emotional support water bottle’ that I keep with me at all times. It’s just nice to have it around and I feel better with it by my side. Maybe your towels are your emotional support towels? Just a thought. Thanks so much for all you do, it’s a wonderful service and I love all of you!

Love this podcast!!!! - Hey fellas, loved all the sleep study talk this week. I am a Registered Polysomnographic Technologist (Sleep Tech) out of Knoxville, TN. Lots of neat stories over the last years but more on that later. I’m working my way back through most the episodes again currently. With all the random subjects you guys cover and out of the of you wearing CPAP; I can’t believe there has not been an episode on Sleep. Tons of interesting stuff out there in our field. Maybe start with Hypnogogic Hallucinations and go from there. Thanks again for a good, clean source of comedy! You guys are great! —- Cory Crabtree

Hello folks! - I just wanted to say that I really appreciate all that y’all do! I am a huge fan, and look forward to this podcast weekly. My friend introduced me to Nateland a few months ago, and I am almost all caught up. I am nearly , and I enjoy listening to the friendly banter as I do various things around the house. My family makes fun of me when I randomly burst out laughing and they are having a serious discussion. Nate, I have been a fan for a while, and I love watching your specials. I loved your latest Hello World, I have seen it twice, and look forward to more in the future. Hope to go to a Nashville show sometime in the future! But I just wanted to say thank you, and keep up the good work! P.S Nate, is your Europe tour all jokes from the new special, or is it different?

Clean Content That Doesn’t Take Itself Too Seriously - Even tho I’d been a fan of Nate since The Standups I didn’t find this podcast til the end of . Hearing life in the beginning of Covid in hindsight was a weird trip. Listening to the early episodes made it humorously clear why the pandemic lasted so long. Nate is honing the art of being able to be disagreeable without offense. I hope he's able to maintain that and avoid being the comic who whines about cancel culture. Cohost Brian Bates seems like the straight man but if you pay attention, he gets some good comedic bits in. Usually in the form of questions. Cohost Aaron Weber provides a little younger, pop culture understanding sometimes. Cohost Dusty Slay brings it home with great stories from childhood or on the road. Again, this is content that you could enjoy in any setting. Im no prude but it’s just nice to be able to enjoy entertainment without gratuitous profanity/vulgarity. Just mindless fun that brings a smile to my face.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 21:10:19 GMT

Wow - I’m episodes in and I feel like I would have to be a guest because I have so many relatable comments. So many I should probably just stop listening. But one for Nate, you mentioned in the first or second episode that your dad had to pull over because of how good a comedian was. My best friend and I were listening to your latest special, and I had to stop it because my face hurt from laughing. Be proud because she only likes John mulaney. Helpful because our spouses left us for each other (her husband was a triplet by the way.) and we were in a rough place. Keep it up. Or do whatever you want, Y’all are adults. Hahaha episode …. Nate just said “the New York comics are the best.” I guess it wore off on you, since you said you didn’t want to raise your daughter there because she didn’t want her to think she’s better than everybody!!

Amazing people, great takes - I found you guys on TikTok and when my therapist recommended listening to podcasts to help me fall asleep I started listening to your podcast. It worked great for the first couple weeks because you guys have a very kind energy and listening to you talk to each other made me feel calm enough to fall asleep. However I started to become too invested and would stay up to listen to each episode because I just loved your banter and your takes on the stories you chose to read. I had to switch to something different for bedtime but I still listen to the podcast throughout my day and it makes me smile and helps me feel less alone in my house while my boyfriend is away for long stints at work. Thank you for for the laughs and for bringing a little more light into the world. -Rem

It’s so entertaining that I think I’ll have to go binge them all again because what else am I going to do now?? This has easily become my favorite podcast. My own inner monologue has almost been replaced with Rick, Christian, and Joshes voices. The dynamic is great, the commentary great, the bad jokes.. also great in their own way. Thanks for making a great pod and a great community. Amber P.S. stop interrupting Rick.

Am I… obsessed? - Hello all, welcome to my review. I may or may NOT be obsessed with this podcast. I started listening to podcasts again last year and after following them on TikTok for quite some time I decided to give it a listen. And this is one of the only podcasts that has me literally laughing out LOUD. Like not the fake “I’m crying, literally laughing out loud” that you send your friends with a straight face. Like literally laughing and crying on at my desk and driving on the freeway. I for sure look like an idiot to those around me, but worth it. It’s been great not only am I entertained, I’m educated, mostly on how not to pronounce words by Christian. Christian, Rick and Josh, I seriously enjoy you guys so much keep podding till the end. I’ll follow you guys to the (champion)ship. Catch me interacting with them for reals and for the first time ever submitting things to this podcast. Watch for my email, it has instructions on how to survive the zombie apocalypse so for sure don’t wanna miss it

Culver’s is just plain average. - I really love this podcast. I drive approximately hours a day so I’m really glad I found The Judgies. The one thing I can’t get behind though is that they love Culver’s as much as they do. I tried it when I was able to find one and it is just average. Go to Freddy’s. It’s like Culvers but much much better. Anyway keep it up guys. P.S. Christian is the funniest on the pod.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 20:44:06 GMT

Advice for the pod - All the hosts seem really nice and the stories are fun to hear, but Christian needs to work on his narrating skills. He seems to have quite a bit of problems pronouncing words and will stop mid sentence a lot and go off topic and it can be pretty frustrating. I suggest he reads the story beforehand and then read it on the pod (if he doesn’t already). Also PLEASE just read the whole story then add your own input. Another thing, the tangents at the beginning of each episode are way too long. I understand you want to connect with the audience and let them know what is going on with your lives, but in my opinion that should be - minutes max not - minutes.

My good friends, The Judgies - I stumbled into this podcast from an Am I The Apple video on TikTok. As of minutes ago, this is the first podcast I have ever listened to every single episode of. I declare myself a piss baby, so much so that while scrolling through TikTok today, I became excited when watching another user’s video because I had just seen … my good friend Josh. Thank you to Josh, Ricky, Christian (and Aurora) for bringing lots of laughs and cringes into my world, and congratulations on your very own piss baby, Olsen. P.S. if you read this on the pod, I’ll cream my jeans

Trumpers - I’m describing some super creepy predatory behavior from an OP, Josh called him the “most sane liberal” and I’m completely done with this. I always got a weird conservative vibe from this crew but that’ll do it for me. They are the white people with mics that we all dread. Thanks for confirming you’re terrible so I stop giving you listens, I appreciate you empowering me to be an informed consumer!

Big Mommy Milkers - Hey!!! My name is Jazleen, yes you can say my name if you happen to read this on the pod. I found you three on TikTok and have fallen in love ever since. I listen on Spotify but needed to write a review so I downloaded Apple podcast just for you three. I’ve laughed at every episode and I have to say I honestly don’t know why Josh is the most disliked. I think he just says it the way it is and sometimes people need that. Christian always makes me laugh when he says jokes underneath his breath and my absolute favorite thing both Christian and Josh say (I’m so sorry Erika)…”Big Mommy Milkers!” Erika ( I hope I’m spelling your name right) you are golden, you are a true woman who knows what you stand for. Please continue to speak your mind and teach everyone the importance of communication. I am studying to be a counselor and communication is so important.

A fan of Kevin’s but not this podcast - For some reason they keep reposting Bill Burr’s interview as it it’s a new one but it’s the same interview from the first and only appearance by Burr. Also, Kevin sounds muted but if I turn up the volume, the guest sounds too loud. This podcast is wack, production is terrible. I guess this is what happens when you spread yourself thin, you just pump out subpar work. Unfollowing.

Been a fan of Kevin Hart for a long time and loved this podcast when it began, but… - As I mentioned, I love Kevin Hart and I love his comedy. Oh, I first started listening to this podcast because I was really excited about the guests he would bring on, and of course the conversations they would have. One of my favorite podcast episodes of all podcasts today is the Bill Burr interview that they do on this podcast that for whatever reason was released again yesterday for the third time as if it’s not a repeat?? When I started listening to this interview the second time a few months ago I figured oh well, that’s my fault. I didn’t check and look at the description or anything and see whether or not it was the replaying of an old episode but today, March , , the bill burr episode is posted yet again, with no mention of it being the exact same interview that starts out again with Bill making fun of Kevin having his name on his sweatshirt. Again, love, Kevin heart love his material and love this specific podcast episode enough that I will probably end up listening to it again today. But for the second time now, I’ve been disappointed with the idea of getting to hear a new Bill Burr episode only to have the same one from years ago regurgitated. I guess I just feel like heart-to-heart productions Hass to have the resources to book new talent and keep a podcast moving at least on more than reruns. Well, at least now this review as long enough that absolutely no one will read it so if anyone got this far, I gave it three stars because again I love Kevin Hart, but took two stars away for lack of some thing I credit him with more than most, originality! All right… I’m done. Nathan out.

Disappointed with Wanda Sykes podcast - I think you are truly a great, very funny comedian, and I have enjoyed Wanda Syke’s brand of comedy in the past as well. Y’all had me laughing until you brought up the “state of comedy”. You totally let Wanda run over you with her “cancel culture is fake” nonsense when you clearly didn’t feel the same way. Stand up for yourself and your fellow brothers and sisters in comedy! So disappointing to see you kowtow to her.

Quick disclaimer: he has the piercings that make him seem “sus” to your standards, but he’s a grandma rescuing-scholar. I’ve seen it with my own eyes! And yes he’s into butt-stuff… but he’s a top.

Brothers from other mothers - Sweet Sammy T and Juicy Johnny, I’ve been listening to the since the beginning and you guys keep me laughing and “what the eff-ing” all day long. I love the show. The way you guys meander from subject to subject while also chasing rabbit holes and dropping hella jokes in between is what keeps me coming back. I know you gotta leave in like minutes, Sam, but Johnny has or more news stories to get through so hang in there homie. Much love from KY. Also, Sam, PLEASE try to pronounce my last name… Osucha SAM!! You NAILED my last name first try! I knew you guys were curious. Oh-such-uh OSUCHA!

Johnny Diligently Podcasts, Sam Attempts to Leave - Easily one of the most enjoyable, creative, and heartwarming podcasts. I’ve been listening to this one since the beginning. Johnny’s assistant, Sam — not sure if he’s there as some kind of outreach program or something — often tries to leave early, but Johnny does a great job of keeping him disciplined. I appreciate Sam’s sacrifices in exploring his neighborhood, driving (poorly), and getting waxed. Please keep up the great work, and I hope to see a few comedy stops in Colorado soon!

The best. - In a world of chaos. This is a welcome relief. Sammy t bringing the epic stories of his life and week. And j nice, keeping the train on the track with great banter and comedic dissonance to the things Sam says. I wish I Could give this show stars. The _whiskeyshaman. Ps. Sam really is the nicest guy, my wife and I met him in the air port in Jersey. And he was so kind and even recorded a video for our kids who love tfh as well. I know bad parents lol. Love y’all.

Transphobic - I’ve loved both this and TFH but had to drop TFH recently and am debating on dropping this one too. Quality entertaining conspiratorial content; but, as a transwoman of color, it hurts being constantly compared to pedophiles and hookers. I’m just trying to live my life in a spiritually authentic way (like y’all say you do), and any time I listen to one of your podcasts, you have a giant section only talking about trans people negatively. I miss the days when you would stick up for us and say how you can’t talk about that because you have transgirl listeners.

Johnny wrangles a crazy person. - I love this show, a close second to my favorite show Tin Foil Hat. I noticed that the automatic add that played before todays program was an HIV medication commercial, seems appropriate given Sam's dark and shady past. The best part of the show is when Johnny trucks along through the news as Sam cries to go home early and rest his super heavy legs. Keep him there longer Jonny! I love you Sam, say what up to XG for me.

Absolutely love this podcast - Hi Maggie and Mike, I made the decision to retire last year at age . My daughter is so proud and first introduced me to the concepts of the FIRE movement! My financial advisor had been telling me since before COVID that I had enough money to retire but I found it emotionally difficult to pull the trigger. Initially I felt guilty because my parents always believed in working until the wheels fall off. I know there is so much more to life and have started to explore areas of myself that I never had time to develop before like my creative side and volunteering for worthy causes. I assist at a local yoga studio in exchange for a free membership. However, none of my friends or my sisters are in my situation. Since retiring, I have found myself wishing for a way to connect with others out there in similar circumstances. When I found your podcast, I couldn’t believe how much i resonated with me! I must have binge listened to four episodes in one day. Since then, I have been going back and listening to all the old episodes from the pandemic until now. Love you guys I have no idea how many listeners are following you but I hope you have a wide enough audience to keep going because you both are so relatable and talented at finding topics for your podcast that are entertaining and useful at the same time. Have you given any thought to doing a podcast on the value of software products like Income lab or Personal Capital’s Withdrawal planner? Or just about the value of a financial planner? Maybe what to look for in a financial advisor who supports the FIRE mentality? I’ve had the same financial advisor for many years but he doesn’t invest in more innovative software planning tools that clients can use themselves to track how they are doing throughout retirement and try to understand the best tax strategy for withdrawals over time. I spent much of my life saving and getting to the point where I can retire. Now that I am here, it would be reassuring to know that I am still on track and also that I am taking advantage of any tax strategies. I have always used TurboTax to do my taxes. Should I get a CPA to advise on this? It seems like there is a hole in this space since individuals can’t purchase Income lab or use similar programs (PC’s Withdrawal planner). You have to work with a financial advisor who has access to this. And I checked out your Etsy templates but they don’t have this focus or functionality. Thanks for being such an awesome inspiration! -Christina Brabham

Fun discussions - Thanks for this great podcast. I love Mike and Maggie and their contrasting styles. I would like to see Mike and Maggie acknowledge their privilege more. On an episode about saving to retire early, they were like, save % of your income. Easier to do on a higher salary and living under your means than a much lower salary. Also, they have often discussed putting all savings into retirement funds but if you were to retire early, you need the money in taxable funds.

They’re cute and not annoying! - Truly it’s not easy to find a podcast when voices can be so easily annoying. These girls nailed it. They’re working hard — so much so that I’m like, “sisters, take a week off, we will be okay listening to a re-run, mmmk?”. I’m not a car person but the industry news makes me edgy with my husband and he’s impressed with the auto knowledge I bring to the table. Except for when I told him to invest in Rivian because my podcast friends told me to. Bad move but totally forgiven and made up for with other great content. Solid listen for midwesterner females -. Can’t speak for other regions or ages. But that’s a huge group of podcast listeners so that’s a huge compliment. Worth a subscribe click!

Obsessed with these girlies! - Kelly & Lizz have quickly become the besties I didn’t know I needed! I listen to the podcast whenever I’m doing mundane chores and need some company. Love the sister dynamics of the podcast and when y’all are feisty at each other (let’s be honest usually it’s Kelly, Lizz is a Saint lol) it really makes me feel like y’all are family because that is so me and my younger sis! Love listening to the podcast keep doing your thing!
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 19:48:18 GMT

Love my car dates with these sistahs! - I started following the car mom and fell in love with her genuine sweetness, creative spunk and drive to improve others lives by sharing her knowledge. Lizz brings the perfect balance.she is authentic and candid. I was so excited when Kelly and Lizz started their podcast. This is my only appropriate podcast I can listen to WITH my kids in the car!!! So grateful to no swearing and family friendly content. (I love my paranormal and true crime ; but they have to stay to earphone only). The test drive saves me from trying things I don’t need to (I’m a marketers dream and love me a seasonal flavor) and introduce me to new faves. Ditch the drive thru saves me regularly. Great speaks to my soul. These women are true gems in every way. I can’t wait to see how they develop and grow their content as their littles grow.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 18:35:59 GMT

Great Listen! - Love this podcast and how relatable Kelly & Lizz are. I’m from the Midwest originally and listening to them makes me feel like I’m back home with friends or sisters. I love all the segments except for the great s they seem to just go on for so long sometimes and don’t always keep my attention but overall love that the girls try to keep the content fresh and fun! I’m not a mom, so sometimes it’s hard to feel like the show is really directed at me and it’s difficult to explain/recommend to friends that aren’t mothers. I’m willing to bet there are more listeners that aren’t mothers though and I love the women focused, millennial perspective so I tune in regularly and look forward to the two episodes each week. Props to Kelly for breastfeeding and recording at the same time, you are awesome!

I love these fellow Midwestern girlies! - A wholesome, yet entertaining podcast that I can listen to with my toddler in the car (if she’ll let me). I am a true crime fan at heart, but I felt weird listening to those in the car with my toddler, even if she was asleep. Like I just don’t know if true crime is something I want her listening to until she’s like . Ya know? Also, they don’t swear, which is cool because I’m really trying to not swear in front of my kid too. I always learn something new, like Gen-Z phrases, or some kind of hack that might make life a little easier.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 17:20:47 GMT

THE BEST PODCAST - Ok, so first off, I love everything the car mom puts out and have been influenced by her the MOST. Haha Car wash subscription, car organization for my center console, glove box vacuum, and I’m sure more I haven’t thought of. And my son LOVES his “blue hand” on our car that the car mom made. So big fan AND I’m a a fellow St. Louisian here and it’s so great to have someone so cool from my city! I pass Suntrup dealerships everyday. This podcast is IT. It hits different. The way that I think Kelly and Liz are my besties by just listening to this, and the way I’m talking to myself in the car is only something this podcast can do. Haha Its SO fun, informative but not too much where its boring, and I am HERE for the feral sister relationship. Lol I have a younger sister and it reminds me of our relationship and it just makes me happy and I enjoy it so much! Love love love it and I look forward to it every week!

Gonna need a bigger iceberg - This is my favorite podcast to relax with while squawking five hundred feet above my closest Bravo’s airspace and between practicing for my Wookie audition on the guard frequency. Five stars, and a Brasher warning for anyone who disagrees! RH and AG have joined the ranks of history’s great duos: Penn and Teller, Siskel and Ebert, Hillary and Norgay, Watson and Crick, Click and Clack, Johnny and June, Bert and Ernie - the list can go longer but I’m trying to keep this review shorter than my airport’s list of NOTAMs for unlit towers. A must listen for pilots who want to be better citizens of the NAS, and for controllers who spend precious ATIS time to inform me that there are birds, yes, BIRDS in the vicinity of the airport.

Don’t get it yet? - After five star reviews, if you are not listening by now, you should. To assist, I asked Chat GPT to make a “AG appropriate” review: Esteemed listeners, please allow me to proffer a comedic critique of the Opposing Bases podcast, utilizing an elevated lexicon replete with polysyllabic and labyrinthine verbiage. Verily, it is with alacrity and ebullience that I embark upon this task. Firstly, I must proclaim that the Opposing Bases podcast is an exemplar of erudition and elucidation in the realm of aviation. These aviation aficionados verily display a formidable command of the intricacies and nuances of the subject matter, and their effervescent banter serves as a delightfully informative repast for the listeners. However, for those who prefer a more absurdist and whimsical form of entertainment, the Opposing Bases podcast may not suffice. Despite the occasional foray into the absurd, the podcast largely adheres to a serious and grounded tone. While this may be a boon for those who crave a more sober exploration of the topic, it may leave some listeners yearning for a more outrageous and whimsical diversion. In conclusion, for those who seek a more serious and informative approach to aviation, this podcast is a veritable treasure trove of erudition and illumination…

The Book vs Opposing Bases - Been putting this review off for far too long. As a student pilot in the Metroplex Executive south of the Mythical Triad airspace I was told by my PPL CFI of the most informative podcast in Aviation. I passed my PPL checkride in May and weeks ago passed my Instrument as well. DPE and friend of the show Romeo Hotel got a kick out of me asking if he’d like the book answer or the RH and AG answer when talking about what to do in a lost comms IFR situation. I can say with certainty that without you guys the NAS would be a much scarier place. Thank you guys for all you do. stars to my favorite local celebrities. Hotel Bravo

In all seriousness, great blend of a cast and amazingly well produced show. Currently my priority. Like if every show I follow pushed a new episode in the same day, I’d listen to this first, then check the YouTube comments for funny video edit moments, THEN start on the other casts.

All Around Good - The thing that makes this podcast so enjoyable is the great composition of the hosts. I already knew who Emiru was but that lead me to Noodleshop where I found Tectone and hearing that baritone voice I immediately thought “Oh yeah this is the dude you sit around a fire with and hear some stories”. At first I did not like Asmon. I thought he was pretentious when I saw him during Elden Ring release, but he grew on me. I realized what I thought was pretentiousness was actually just honesty and a “who cares” attitude which is refreshing. So those three together make a great combo. Tectone brings the noise and rowdiness, Asmon the wisdom and honesty, and Emiru brings the neutrality and level headiness. Anyways excellent work all of you.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 03:53:47 GMT

Just in case you didn’t already know! - Just in case you didn’t already know, these three have such an amazing chemistry it’s refreshing. Sure, tech tone sounds like he could be on a registry somewhere, but his insights are surprisingly insightful. Emi is well spoken and knowledgeable on many of the subjects they tackle. And Asmon, well Asmon is just the GOAT. They hooked me on Episode and I’m in for the long haul. Been missing a great gaming/streaming podcast since the passing of TotalBiscuit. Very, very happy to have these three doing what they are doing.

A funny, modern, relatable podcast - The podcast talks about everything from when you were we were kids to video games today. It’s like a nostalgic lens into the funny parts of highschool “good ole days”, recreating that feeling of hanging out at the lunch table with friends. As a long time fan of Texan raised Asmongold, and newer viewer/listener of the even voiced Tectone and the fair young lady Emiru…they offer a really balanced perspective: Tectone (male heavier voice) is like that friend who can admit to funny degenerate moments but who has come a long way through running his own influencer based business. He offers a great range of perspective. Emiru (female voice) has a fairly unadulterated normal perspective to kind of bring everything back down to earth. Asmongold isn’t afraid to be a degenerate today and leans into it for your entertainment. He does it in such a way though that he shocks you with wholesome moments or hard truths, and often leans into controversies for your entertainment and explores every angle of them. He is surprisingly fair and civil behind all that the more you hear him talk which makes for more interesting conversation the longer it goes. The cast is a great group of people to listen to and watch. If you’re looking for something to have on in the background look no further, give these folks a listen or two.

We get it, you really, really like Stanford… - I have a mega crush on Dr. Huberman, but my crush (plus notching down my rating to four stars) lessens each time he says “Stanford.” % of his mentions of the school seem completely gratuitous and therefore get very obnoxious. It makes me wonder if he’s paid each time he mentions them… (He endlessly did these Stanford plugs even on the Joe Rogan show!) We get it, Dr. Huberman, you’re a super smart guy (why we listen!) and powerhouse researcher who went to/works at Stanford. Now let’s please move on.

Depression/serotonin: Dr. Julia Moncrieff’s study in journal NATURE - Hoping Andrew sees this note and addresses on a future episode: Learned a lot from Andrew’s episode about major depression, the neuroscience behind it, and why/how certain antidepressants work. But then on July , , the reputable journal Nature published the article “The serotonin theory of depression: a systematic umbrella review of the evidence” by Dr. Julia Moncrieff et al., which posits that there actually isn’t real evidence that depression is tied to low[er] levels of serotonin, or that the SSRI’s work (and even when they do, that they work materially better than placebos). Would really appreciate hearing Andrew reconcile the two in an update to said episode. Thank you for all your work, and for sharing it with the public!

Life changing information - I am so thankful that someone is willing to do all this research to help my vitality. Great info and so much fascinating science. The first episode I listened to was the one on alcohol and it’s effects. I only downloaded because I saw it on apple app store’s top ten shared episodes list of . I casually decided to listen to it (with my husband) on a road trip. We had no expectations except to fill the time with something interesting. By the time we reached our destination we were enlightened by all the scientifically backed info packed into the episode. I swear, from that moment in early January, any desire for alcohol was magically erased from my mind. Just knowing the facts made me question my desire… understanding the ‘why’ behind the urge to drink. It’s not like I’m trying to quit, but more like exposing the reasons behind the habit removed all desire for it. Thank you Andrew!! I love the enthusiasm and curiosity that drives each of his episodes!!

I call for new hubris - Solid subscribe. This lab’s intellectual and practical resources are exciting and unsurpassed. In which case, how can they best benefit all aspects of our humanity? (Assuming that’s a goal.) This podcast’s hubris resonates as extractive. A world-class, tenured team can do riskier research and produce eps w more creative marketing strategies. Flatter the listener’s more noble interests. (They exist.) I plead: more basic inquiry in the spirit of curious exploration and less a priori quest for mastering humanity’s (lucrative) efficiency. I hope this challenge echoes in your mind when writing the next grant proposal.

Well researched topics that truly make science accessible to all - I cannot begin to explain how wonderful this podcast is…I often find myself taking down notes/ articles to read to better understand the topics discussed. There is so much data out there and to have intellectuals with knowledge of the field (and knowledge of how to read studies/data) interpret that for layman is so great. I have made many dietary/habit based changes that have been discussed on this podcast and I’ve noticed improvements after implementing them!

Best and most helpful podcast! - Thank you for these provocative and interesting science based podcasts. They are unique. Bringing so many wonderful scientific topics to the lay person’s level, while still being quite detailed, is a skill not many scientists have. The Andy Galpin hours is so great and helped me enormously (and I’m not an athlete). The podcast on water is also informative without pushing all the silly supermarket “latest” trends. Thanks again!
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 20:13:14 GMT

Water - I am really trying to keep an open mind but discussing water (ph, temperature) and how it affects our health/absorption etc is pretty ridiculous. The ph of our stomach is so low that none of this discussion matters. Also the temp of our stomach is @ so the temperature of water doesn’t matter either. Finally our body (lungs and kidneys especially) keep the ph of our blood/cells very stable. So in summary most of this discussion in worthless. BTW I am a board certified MD so I am not guessing here.

Thank you for your dedication to science and willingness to share a treasure trove of knowledge with the general public at zero cost.

Wow so much information and from so many points of view. - To say I’m impressed is not even covering it. I just found this podcast and listened to my first episode and I am beyond impressed with how much detail he gives and not just from one point of view.. He actually takes the time to come at the subject from multiple points of view. I come from a very holistic point of view and it was refreshing to hear him have a different point of view, then just having pharmaceuticals as the answer to everything. thank you so much for taking your time to share your knowledge with us! And you’re really interesting to listen to which is helpful when diving into the subject so deeply. I actually feel like I just took a college course.

Great content but too long - I love the content and information shared in this podcast but the episodes are waaaay too long. I usually lose focus about halfway thru (about an hour or hour and a half in) and either just zone out or start dozing off and falling asleep. Can y’all please just summarize more? Or at least do a summary at the end because by the end of it I’ve already forgotten what was said at the beginning. I feel like I’m in a lecture college class and I need to take notes to remember the main/important points. Suggestion: maybe do some short episodes every once in a while and not have them all be super long. And I would like to see more Q&A episodes.

I love you Jay!! - I wanted to leave a message to you here after meeting you - I was truly starstruck and did not know how to react. I’m not even sure if I introduced myself, but my name is Sophia and I am one of your biggest fans. It was an absolute honor to experience your show and meet you in person. I truly did not know how to react when meeting you because you inspire me daily with your podcast and everything you share on socials, not to mention the life-changing show I attended before getting to meet you in person, mind truly blown. (btw highly recommend to everyone, hope this tour was the first of many!! Unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before) I attended the SF show and the entire experience felt like an out of body experience where I felt connected/ in alignment with my heart & soul the entire time. I laughed, I cried, and created priceless memories. I brought my mom to the show who I am now convinced is an even bigger fan than I am! We listen to your podcast, read your books, and discuss you & the topics you’ve introduced us to almost daily. Jay you are a very special human being and have changed so many people’s lives including my own. I truly hope and pray more people like you exist in the world on well known platforms because we need this type of wisdom and knowledge to go viral everyday!! I have always felt so out of place in the world and when I turn on your podcast I feel like I found the friend I’ve always been searching for as well as the community I’ve always longed for. Thank you so much. I wish I had better prepared before I met you so I could’ve shared this all in person, but you were just so kind & humble which made it even harder for me to process because I truly view you as such an incredible person! How could someone so normal be so inspiring and have such a tremendous impact on me? But that’s what you teach us - we are all humans, with the same beating hearts trying to live out our purpose. Simple yet so powerful. It was an absolute honor and pleasure. I hope to attend every show of yours and also have another chance to meet you with more intention behind it. I love you Jay!! Also, just wanted to mention how I loved each introduction for you was a recording of Radhi announcing you! Every detail of the show was absolutely incredible. Thank you for everything Jay!

My Go To Mindful Podcast - I’m an The Art of Being Well junkie. It’s my favorite podcast to help me reach my well being goals. I love how often new episodes come out and the variety of guests. I also enjoy the episodes where it is Dr. Cole and his team talking about upcoming books, questions submitted, etc. I regularly listen and always learn something new. Each week another new topic and new expert being featured. I’m an active year old with an autoimmune disease. I like to take care of myself and learn about disease in general. I love learning about new wellness tips and new interpretations of medical studies. Dr. Cole keeps the conversations interesting with thoughtful questions. The episodes also have a comforting feel.

He’s not only super knowledgeable and educated but he’s open to any and all beliefs and viewpoints. I love how many different people he features from all walks of life. He also includes his expertise WHILE allowing his guests to talk! Heck, he names his podcast after them (“This is ‘Guest’s Name’ Art of Being Well”). @Julierswanson on IG

The best!! - I absolutely love these podcasts! Every show is a new deep dive into an interesting health topic with amazing guests and insightful information. My favorites are the intermittent fasting shows because that is my passion but every show brings some new health information into my world! Dr. Cole is an amazingly brilliant bright life in the health world, and he brings on such amazing guests who help us all understand our need for healthy living. I can’t wait to read Gut Feelings.!!!

Awesome Awesome Awesome and Thank you - I listen to a lot of different podcast and I have to say yours is definitely one of my top . Ya know when you’re listening in your car and the episode is over it automatically goes to the previous episode? Well I NEVER have to change it because your content is so awesome and relevant to so much of my life. I just got done listening to episode this morning on my way to work (learned so much), now heading home episode came on, it’s your interview on Ed Mylett’s podcast (love him by the way too). I cannot wait to drive to work tomorrow to listen to this. I’m minutes in and I can so relate. Thank you for all you do, for sharing all your knowledge and for your amazing guests. Thank you Rosanne @happieoiler

Searching for Greatness not ratings - As the School of Greatness and Lewis himself have gained popularity over the years, the Greatness team has held steady on not falling into the trap of “which next celebrity can I get next” like many other podcasts I’ve listened to in this personal development space have. Lewis seeks experts. Not who is on the top charts or who will get him the most views, likes or clicks. It’s a beautiful that that he brings experts that deserve the spotlight to the stage via this podcast. My reccomendation!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 18:50:33 GMT

Essential - I wasn’t always a fan of Lewis Howes. Until a few years ago, I found him egotistical and narcissistic (for example, in older interviews that may still be on YouTube, he would place his book next to that of the guest he was interviewing, rather than letting his guest’s work get all the shine it deserved - dude, stop hijacking your guests’ special moment to make it about you!). But in recent years I’ve come to respect, admire, and be inspired by him for sharing his struggles, how he got professional help, and how he shifted his attitude and actions to lifting others up without getting in their way and expecting something in return. People can change, and the ones who do get even more respect when they admit their failures and use their lessons to inspire others. I now regularly listen to his podcast and get a huge mental boost out of each one. He asks the right questions and truly listens. While it’s true that there are so many ads now, the episodes are free and worth listening to. I’ve adopted a number of good habits, many thanks to him!

Sooo grateful - Lewis-I have listened to you for years-But today’s podcast with Mel Robbins really resonated with me-For years I have listened to you make reference to the time that you spent “on your sisters couch”-but I never knew the backstory that you had broken your wrist. I’m years old and just spent the last year healing from shattering my wrist and having a titanium plate and pins put in… It was so encouraging to hear you describe how you made it through such a difficult and challenging journey. You Gave me great hope thank you so much. Maureen

Incredible podcast, just one small quibble. - I love this podcast. I finally feel “seen,” even though it’s audio, ha. It’s liberating and informative, and once I discovered it, I binged it for days. (Poor choice of word for this podcast? Pun unintended.) I’m a -year-old fat woman and I feel like this is the first space where I don’t have to apologize for existing. (Only reason it’s not stars is because sometimes they talk over audio clips, and I can’t hear what’s being shared. And Mike’s spit-laugh (I don’t know how else to describe it) directly into the microphone just grosses me out. I realize this is a personal thing, but he did it twice during an audio clip on the episode I was listening to - so frustrating! I couldn’t hear the actual clip and there’s no rewinding…)
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 14:26:35 GMT

All I talk about is how much I love this podcast - I avoided listening to this for so long as I have been recovering from disordered eating and I was afraid of confronting myself/hearing things that would make me uncomfortable. Now that I’ve started listening I cannot stop! It is educational, hilarious, validating, angering.. makes me laugh and also makes me want to tell everyone I know to listen!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 05:25:23 GMT

Remember they are not scientists, doctors, or dietitians - Listen to this show as entertainment, not as science. I put it in the category of opinion shows which air on cable “news” channels. I’ve stopped listening because they are so dismissive and sarcastic - which I know many listeners love. Yes, they can be very funny. But they are at least as biased as the experts they skewer with their vastly oversimplified summaries crafted for ultimate snark. Apparently everyone has ill intent for society except the hosts themselves.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 20:22:35 GMT

Learn stuff & laugh too! - I always feel like a learn something new and/or gain insights into a subject every episode. As a fellow “fat lady about town” Aubrey has an uncanny way of crystallizing my thoughts on things that just feel “icky” but I can’t put my finger on why. I so appreciate Michael’s way of asking real, pointed questions without being snarky. That is until he’s dunking on Gwyneth ;D LOVE YOU BOTH!!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 17:26:53 GMT

Bad faith arguments - It’s sad because I agree with so much of what these hosts say. Anti-fat bias is bad. Fad diets don’t work. Fat people can experience medical discrimination (I could go on). But, I feel that their discussions ultimately lack nuance because they swing too far in the other direction, saying that doctors should not make recommendations to lose weight to overweight kids, etc. It goes without saying that doctors should treat overweight or fat kids with kindness, ask after their health, and not make their body size the only measure of health. However, not intervening to help a child/ their family recognize the long-term impacts of diet and exercise, and the components of a healthy diet, would be to neglect one’s duty as a medical practitioner in my opinion. The hosts laughed at the concept of offering nutritional advice, such as “avoid sugary drinks,” etc. as if that’s dumb advice, but many people don’t realize how much sugar is in beverages and other foods such as yogurt, granola bars, juice, etc. that is to say, many people may genuinely be doing their best to make healthier choices and be under the impression that these foods are wholesome and good for you. That is not the fault of the individual, necessarily, as our food industry is largely unregulated compared to other developed countries. That said, a doctor offering nutritional advice may be the first time someone has heard that they should be more aware of these foods with sneaky sugar. And one can’t deny that those foods that may be causing a person to gain weight can also cause serious health problems down the line such as diabetes. Personally, I’d rather be mad at my doctor for telling me to lose weight now, than in years when I’ve developed a chronic illness. Again, all of this aside, I agree with a lot of what the hosts say. It’s clear that there is some hurt from a medical field who has not always communicated health advice kindly or appropriately. But that should not make someone throw out the idea that dietary advice can be useful to someone trying to live a healthy life.

Hypocritical - For a show that debunks commonly held myths about public health, they conveniently overlook a few facts that don’t agree with their world view. It is an undeniable fact that has been written about in countless peer-reviewed papers that obesity is causally linked to heart disease, fatty liver disease, chronic inflammation, and other major killers in the US. To brush this aside when heart disease is the killer in America is irresponsible. The hosts also spend a lot of time telling their listeners not to trust doctors which i also think is irresponsible considering how the far right did that recently about vaccines. This show is so lefty that it’s actually conservative as they are basically saying dont trust anyone in authority who is highly educated if they say anything bad about being fat!! Telling your audience not to trust peer reviewed research about quantitative and qualitative scientific information is irresponsible. I do like some of the episodes, but a lot i skip because their bias in my view is misinformative about public health. I am a lefty librarian who fights misinformation and teaches college courses on media literacy btw so i take my claim very seriously. It is important to weigh facts, where they come from, who wrote them, and for what end. This show only does that for information that goes against their already formed view about public health.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll rage against this stupid society - Since discovering Maintenance Phase I’ve been a faithful listener, and every other Tuesday can’t come soon enough. Listening to this podcast feels like listening to a conversation between your friends and Michael and Aubrey create an environment that invites you to not only learn, but feel as they dismantle so many things we are taught about weight. I’ve found it fascinating to hear the debunking of so many things I was taught! Listening to this podcast has helped me develop a healthier relationship with my body, and convinced me I never need another diet (because that crap doesn’t work anyway). Thank you Michael and Aubrey!
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 23:27:33 GMT

Potentially harmful - There are some good parts of this podcast, but sometimes the hosts go too far. It is objectively NOT healthy to be pounds and not trying to eat healthy or exercise. It puts a strain on your joints and heart, and ultimately deteriorates your quality of life. Yes, people should prioritize health over weight, but you need to take care of your body. Overall the hosts give off a snarky mean defensive vibe.

New pediatric care for fat kids - Thank you for going through the new recommendations of American Academy of Pediatric Doctors. When I first read about the document, I couldn’t imagine examining it more closely without the company of smart people who care about the complexity of being fat, who laugh at absurdities, get angry at injustice, and work hard to remind me that fat people deserve acceptance and love. You did a great job explaining the document, and I totally agree that life would be better if generally healthy, happy little fat kids were just allowed to be happy little fat kids. God, I wish I had been encouraged to relish the joy of being completely, freely, exuberantly me.

Most recent episode about AAP is a master stroke - You guys are SO articulate and do SUCH THOROUGH research on the topics of anti-fatness and its health outcomes, while at the same time presenting the information in a way that is interesting, heartfelt, meaningful and even hilarious at times. I started listening to the show because I liked Michael in You’re Wrong About, even though the topic of the health and wellness industry was not immediately of interest to me — but ya’ll MADE it interesting for me. The most recent episode about the American Association of Pediatrics is a MASTER WORK of debunking research, I am in awe. I wish every healthcare worker could listen to this episode.
Tue, 28 Feb 2023 22:02:07 GMT

Is the AAP corrupt? - I have a hypothesis about the American Academy of Pediatrics: they have become so corrupted by the financial interests of practitioners that they no longer give good medical guidance. They seem less interested in promoting health and more interested in getting insurers to pay for procedures, such as infant circumcisions and child bariatric surgery. I’d be delighted if Michael Hobbes could do an investigative report on this topic.

Honestly the ONLY Podcast I routinely listen to! - I appreciate you all so much. And the approach the MindPump Dream Team have to health and wellness. THANK YOU ALL so much for providing practical advice that is easy to understand and apply…. One of the things I appreciate most about MindPump is their commitment to educating their listeners. I truly appreciate how the team stresses the importance of finding what works best for each individual, rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach at the same time giving the simplest general no-nonsense advice that can be applied to all. I wish I found this podcast sooner! It truly is the only one I listen to routinely!!! I have so many episodes to go back and listen to!!! THANK YOU MINDPUMP DREAM TEAM!

Lady Listeners Please Read - This is NOT your typical bro gains “focus on toning” podcast. I PROMISE! As a girl who lifts weights, there’s hardly any male hosted podcasts out there that are relatable to, let alone decent. That is until I discovered Mind Pump. Sal, Adam, Justin (Doug too) have created an awesome, informative podcast that covers so much more than just fitness info. I recently bought MAPS anabolic and love it! Highly worth checking out!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 20:10:00 GMT

Game Changer! - Sal, Adam, and Justin (and Doug) shed light on a one-time mysterious, untrustworthy, gimmick-filled industry with their honest approach to fitness. If you want real talk, comedic sensibility, and no-holds-barred discussions that land on resistance training, strength-building, full-body workout programs—customized with a pre and post workout focused on mobility—and a lifelong pursuit of mind and body health, this is the place for you. You will never need to look for another “influencer” for advice, there have advice and programs for everyone. If you are new to mind pump, I suggest you begin with MAPS Anabolic and MAPS Prime. They are programmed to work together and you will run them simultaneously. I am happy I found these guys and have been listening for many years. I own several of their programs, and thought I should take some time to show them some love.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 19:14:13 GMT

The best podcast out there! - I started listening in May and I have been listening non stop since then. I recommend the podcast to everyone because it is the most informative podcast out there for health and fitness. I have so many of their programs (finished anabolic and I am now on performance) and I have so many of the products that they advertize because I really trust everything the say! Definitely a / star podcast!

This Show Has It All! - I found this show while adding some new podcasts from the fitness space to my library. I am pleasantly surprised by not only the fitness content, but the great intro conversation that covers all areas of life. This is a fantastically produced and well thought out podcast that not only meets my fitness interests, but also offers engaging and thought provoking off-topic discussion that allows me to make the absolute most of my podcasting time!

My guys!!! - Was writing a review for a different pod that Adam turned me onto and felt guilty that I’ve never left for one my MindPump boys. I’ll just put it plain and simple: Sal, Justin, Doug and mostly Adam make me a better man. I love these guys. Not just lifting, but so much more. Patenting, spousing, working, investing, reading, watching, listening, and all the other -ing’s…. These men have influenced my life for the better in so many aspects, and I am grateful. Oh yeah, and I’m snatched now because of them, so there is that!!

The Best For Any Listener - This podcast has the best of each and every world. They are funny, informational and relatable. If you are experienced with fitness these guys can help explain some of the odd phenomona you may experience, if you are brand new to fitness you can get some of the best information to start with. For each group and all in between. Along with all the fitness tips and tricks you get to hear about their lives, the social scenes in America and honest topical discussion. I wish I had discoverd them before I made some of the classic mistakes.

Go to for beginners to advance lifters - I’m a podcast junkie for good quality nutrition, health, and workouts information. Although some may say that these guys talk a lot and the podcast is long, I find it very useful. I enjoy the conversational part because they go from parenthood to finances and everything in between and all relate to everybody, not just bodybuilders. Then the second part of the show with the questions are straight and clear and again, people who lift, can relate. I’m still playing and reading about their programs and can’t decide what’s best for my goals, I like that they talk about them describing them. Thank you guys! Keep going . When I ride my car with my years old boy, I sneak your podcast, because you know, mom doesn’t know anything, but you Do!

Inspirational in All aspects in life - Mindpump has been the only podcast that has been influential in my life; from nutrition, fitness, and life. I’ve been listening for more than five years now. Adam, Justin, Sal and Doug has helped me become a better man and a better person. Being recently married, they have had a influence in me being a better husband and father. Truly an inspiration to us all that transcends the fabrics of life and fitness.

I’ve been on my weight loss journey for a long time now and you guys bring a good mix of information and also just fun topics too! Thank you guys!

Greatest Health and Fitness podcast ever. - I’ve been listening to Mindpump since and this is the best podcast for not only health and fitness but just personal growth in all aspects of life. The guys are highly informative and they’ve really fine tuned their message over the years. I’ve listened to every episode at least twice now and there is always something to learn. They bring on highly regarded guests with all kinds of diverse health or social backgrounds that give great insight into health and wellness as well as their own opinions. Can’t recommend this podcast enough the guys are super humble and have a great message!

Fitness Fatherhood and Fun Conspiracies - Listened to every episode and the evolution has been remarkable. Came for the fitness talk and stayed for the fatherhood lessons and fun conspiracy talk. All guys bring an element of life wisdom and sector knowledge that we as an audience get the gift to have their perspective and knowledge available everyday in the car (during commute). Podcast is great and the programs are a must for anyone: from experiences trainer to new fitness journeyer.

Great full - I’m great full to have found this podcast. I’ve struggled with addiction, alcoholism and depression I’ve been sober for years now and I’ve still got to take it not just day to day but sometimes just hour to hour and this podcast has helped me stop dwelling on my past and to focus on my future and dwell on more positive things. I’ve been working on forgiving myself and thinking positively about my life. Keep doing what you do your a blessing!!! Thank you

Thank you, Jessica, for doing this… - Jessica’s voice easily has the power of two Benadryls, and I’m seriously grateful for having found this podcast. It’s often difficult for me to let go of the day and/or to quit thinking about what I’m facing tomorrow. I think this series of meditations does one important thing really well: it helps one focus on the now, on listening to your body in the moment, on letting go of negligible worry in favor of the natural rhythms within. It’s my very favorite catalyst for sleep. All the best, Dave Rockville MD USA

Sleeping well is important to me while commercial fishing out on the open water. It can be difficult to catch some ZZZ’s but after finding you on “ Sleep Wave “ I’ve been able to comfortably catch some ZZZ’s. I followed you from “ Sleep Wave “ and I want to thank this opportunity to share how thankful I am for your podcasts, it truly has changed the way I catch some ZZZ’s. Alright I’m off to catch some ZZZ’s now listening “ To The Light House “

Real - I love how relatable you are in each episode. You speak to people in a way that they can understand- regardless of background, education, or personality. It’s a skill. And as a speech language pathologist I give you major props. I saw someone else ask if you’d consider doing an episode or two for aging adults with memory issues and I’d like to piggyback off of that idea. Many people who live with aphasia (a language disorder, usually due to a stroke), have difficulty following along with podcasts because of the audio-only aspect, rate of speech, and complex language, so I wonder if there could be an “aphasia-friendly” meditation or hypnosis for them that they could benefit from. Living with aphasia can potentially cause depression, anxiety and/or sleep issues so it would be well received! Your voice, style, and easy going approach are just perfect for the job. Just a thought. No pressure haha. Feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to collaborate. Thanks for all the ’s ! -Giti

Never listen anymore… - I used to love this podcast when Lacy hosted and I only stay subscribed now for the rare occasions when she returns. But even when she’s back, it’s not as good as it used to be. There used to be magic and spirituality. Now it’s all so-called “neuroscience.” It feels like Lacy is just using us all to “manifest” her luxurious lifestyle and has left us in the dust.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 13:22:13 GMT

Contracted… - Update: Why does Jessica pronounce words like “dream”, “true” and “strong” like “jream”, “chrue” and “shtrong”? Her voice is nails on a chalkboard. Just end the podcast if it’s going to be so bad? I got so turned off by the superficial turn the podcast has taken that I let my pathway membership expire after years. Earlier review: Only listening to episodes hosted by Lacy from now on. I’m not triggered by Jessica, I’m just bored and turned off. I’ve been listening since Lilah was with TBM and she brought a great intuitive depth to the brand, so I believe Lacy could find a better co-host than Jessica. The quality, depth, and range of the conversations on this podcast have really fallen off since Jessica started hosting. I used to be so excited to listen to the new episodes every Friday as soon as they came out, but now I am several weeks behind and just not taking away as much inspiration since Jessica keeps things surface level and trite with responses like “ah! So beautiful.” I have been a pathway member for the past three years and the work has profoundly changed my life. But please, please bring back Lacy as host or find someone more skilled in going deep in order to create thought provoking conversations. I am baffled watching the credibility of TBM go down as Jessica gets inexplicably more and more involved. Her takes are vapid. I guess this is my shadow around sounding stupid and uninformed before speaking. However, both things can be true. Jessica is vapid, and I am triggered by vapid. I’ll work on this shadow, but will Lacy please come back to her brand or at least acknowledge she is barely involved anymore and has left her (in my case long-time) paying customers with a horrible replacement?

Process Ep - Sorry but the latest process episode with Meagan and Jessica was a little cringe. Meeting, dating, getting married and having a baby in less than a couple years seems very trauma bond-y to me, Especially when Meagan claimed she had to get married in . Also alarming that her husband has an IG post proclaiming his love for another woman (v Italian of him) in . Your current partner (especially husband) should not have romantic words for former partners on their socials. To think otherwise is codependent behavior and spells disaster. Women: demand more from your men.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 12:35:07 GMT

Underwhelmed, no longer useful - I felt a ping to look at the reviews for the podcast after listening regularly for four years. “It ain’t what it used to be” seems to be the common feeling. And I agree, I’m not expanded by it any more. Haven’t made it through a whole episode in a while. It’s become shallow and corny. Jessica doesn’t trigger me, but I do feel a let down by the hosting. Couldn’t put my finger on it until reading the reviews of others. Happy to share suggestions if TBM is open to improvements.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 20:17:14 GMT

Grateful for this podcast and community! - I usually don’t do these reviews, even though I listen to a good amount of podcasts, but I was compelled to write a review after reading a few recent reviews. I am completely new to TBM. I was introduced to Lacy, TBM and the Expanded podcast in when I first listened to the bean protocol episodes. I decided to become a pathway member in November after only listening to a handful of podcast episodes. I was originally hesitant, because I felt like TBM had a weird cult following vibe, especially around Lacy. However, now being in the TBM community for a few months, I feel at home! The podcasts episodes are long, but very insightful. I really enjoy Jessica’s interview style and listening to her talk about her journey. I take away the nuggets that apply to me from Jessica, Lacy, the coaches and other guests. I understand different strokes for different folks, but I am grateful for TBM and the Expanded podcast. Thank you!

I definitely feel like she’s my real friend - Actually love these episodes… usually always in the mood for one because it’s like a good chat with a friend. I love that Arielle tries to be transparent too and says what she’s working on and how far she’s come and seems open hearted … not too much spiritual talk but I can get that deep stuff elsewhere this is light and I always learn something health/beauty wise. Im proud of her and encourage her to keep creating and to keep expanding

Demeanor - It is such a relief to hear you talk about your demeanor. I keep on quitting alcohol, but then ultimately going back to it because I feel like I’m boring or I need to be more social or that I have these fantasies in my head of it making me more fun and like I need it to socialize. It’s really good to hear you say that you don’t rely on alcohol and that you’ve just embraced your personality who you are which might be the more serious, inquisitive type and it’s really helping me come to terms with that about myself as well, so thank you!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 21:14:39 GMT

Most listened to podcast for over a year now - This podcast is so important and integral to my weekly routine. Arielle’s soothing voice, pragmatic perspective, intelligence, and laid back humor feel so affirming and grounding to listen to! I’ve been listening for almost two years I think? I’m a PhD candidate in art history and her podcast is no longer just a a breath of fresh air from all of that stress but I’ve found ways to incorporate my own health and wellness beliefs in to all aspects of my life! I’m often cheering her on and feel like she’s a friend ha even though we have never met. I love the mix of more serious and light hearted stuff. Celeb goss is always fun. Also Arielle - I’d be interested to hear about your hormone experiences…especially since you’re not a fan of these hormone balancing influence types (nor am I - makes me feel even more lost and confused or wonder why I don’t understand my hormones as much as these other women).

Two minutes in the podcast I fell IN LOVE with it . I look forward to my walks because of her podcast . The blondfiles is a positive, chill and honest podcast. Arielle is so relatable.

Wednesday Staple!!! - I look forward to every single Wednesday because of this podcast! I listen to this podcast at the gym (which I was always a music girly). This podcast is truly life changing. The episodes are so relatable to the reality of life. This podcast is amazing to listen to during car rides, hikes, and house chores (one of my favorite times to listen). Honestly, this podcast can be listened to during ALL activities. I recommend this podcast to EVERYONE! Britt and her fam are true role model. Britt gives me hope for when I’m ready to be a fitness mom too! This podcast is a staple in my life!

A new favorite podcast!! - I listened to Britt’s podcast with Kate on my drive home from work yesterday and felt so motivated by the talk about going up in weights that I went up in weight in my squat last night!! Britt is humble and encouraging - I found her pod weeks ago and listen everyday now! I’ve learned a lot from her already and I genuinely feel motivated to do more than I feel that I could before!! Also, the title of this pod and the intro is ELITE!!

I'm a landscape architect in Charleston and hearing her relate to one of my passions is so cool!

Brittany (and special-husband-guest Darian too) shares her experiences and listeners’ experiences and encouragement to get me in the gym, and she reminds me that I don’t have to be perfect in my fitness journey to make progress. Small steps in the right direction are still progress and something worth being proud of. Thanks so much for this lesson and reminder. I look forward to these podcasts. They always brighten my day.

LOOOOVE! - Love this podcast! Britt and Darian are amazing! I feel like I have learned so much here. I have never done a workout with a podcast on, always music, but I am so obsessed with Fun and Gains, I played it during a workout recently and I’m hooked, I have listened during a few workouts now! I’ve even played some episodes a few times! Thanks to Darian and Britt, so glad I’ve found you guys! Love your YouTube as well!!!

The realist QUEEN to ever do it - Britt has not only encouraged me to be consistent in the gym, but also LOVE the work I put in. I’ve been listen for over a year and I can’t express my gratitude enough. I’ve been search for a fitness expert for YEARS that didn’t just talk about weight control and food. Britt gives the reasons to WHY things in the gym, outside, food, etc is good for you. Britt you have made me not only stronger but more confident with myself. Keep on doing your thang!! P.s we love hearing King Darian too!

/ recommend listening - I am a patient of Dr Gundrys. I follow his podcasts, social medias, read his books, and take his products daily. He has honestly changed my life and most importantly my gut. I am the healthiest and cleanest i’ve ever been. Anything you’re struggling with or want to improve on Im sure he can help. I think it is totally worth it to look into Dr Gundry as he is a very knowledgeable man who cares about his people and wants to see them at their best.

Dr Gundry Podcasts - I just recently found Dr Gundry as I have been experiencing digestive issues. I purchased three bottles of the Bio Complete and just began taking them a few days ago and I can already feel improvement. I plan to continue them and am looking forward to purchasing the Plant Paradox book. I also may try to go Vegan so am happy to have found Dr Gundry and appreciate all of the medical information he provides.

Love Gr Gundry’s podcasts - I listen to the podcast every week! I look forward to the new ones he posts and i have been looking through past episodes and listening to one’s I’ve missed. He is easy to listen to and so informative! I have learned so much and have put his nutrition knowledge to work in my life. Listen to Dr Gundry, he will open your eyes and help change your life for the much much better. Thank you, Dr. Gundry!!

Dr Gundry Podcasts - Dr G’s podcasts are on the top of my listening list. His topics are always enticing and they help to tell the larger story of his ground breaking research into how plant lectins can disrupt our health. I rely on his breadth of knowledge because of his background in medicine & surgical practice. He truly is always “looking out for you”. I collect his books so I can refer back to topics but listening to his podcasts are quick and always delightful!

Life changing - I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate Dr Gundry providing such pearls of wisdom at no cost and with my best interests at heart. Implementing his advice, albeit very difficult at times, has really transformed my life and made me a much happier, healthier, and productive person. As a year old with no background in true health and wellness, I feel really lucky to have found and learned from Dr Gundry at a relatively young ago so that I can avoid much bigger issues down the road. Thank you so much Dr Gundry and please never stop providing such impactful content!!!

Thank you Dr. G! - After having my two kids I really struggled getting back to my pre baby weight. It’s hard to find time to go to the gym, eat right and take care of myself. I saw one of Dr. G’s videos and drastically changed my diet and the times I eat. Immediately saw the weight falling off and I had more energy. All my life I have suffered from debilitating menstrual cramps, bloating and back pain. For the first time in my life, I didn’t even know I got my period! I had zero bloating, cramps and pain. I never want to eat any other way now cause I just feel like I have a food hangover the minute I do. Thanks for giving me back my energy, time and happiness with my family!

Informative and life-changing - I’ve been following Dr. Gundry since reading his book, The Plant Paradox, in . The book and his teachings have changed my life and the way I think about health and wellness. I follow a handful of doctors with varying POV’s and Dr. G is definitely one of my faves. I love the different guests he has on and all the impactful info presented in each episode. And he’s hilarious D

Healthy Habits - I read Dr. Gundry’s book after my boyfriend recommended it to me. I absolutely devoured it and then decided that I wanted to learn more about the subject. His podcast doubles the information of his book and he brings plenty of different kinds of material and guests to his show to entertain various kinds of wellness interests! / would share with my family and friends for healthier habits $ interesting lore!

Informative, Real & Fun! - I found Emily’s content through her January guest appearance on the Spillover podcast and I have been hooked since! She makes super important and complex health topics manageable to understand in a fun & engaging way. I’m feeling empowered to start my break up with my Mirena IUD and get on the path to naturally balanced hormones through her Balanced Babe Blueprint course. Thank you for this content!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:54:32 GMT

Wow - This is the information us ladies have been looking for! Emily is so knowledgeable! I honestly didn’t know much about our different phases and how we eat within those phases can affect us so much. It’s very easy to listen to Emily because her information is clear and concise! But also she chats like you’re her friend which makes it easy to absorb the information. I definitely recommend this podcast! We should know about our bodies!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:49:29 GMT

My new Favorite podcast!! - I have recently started learning more about holistic & hormone health & healing my body this year due to continuing health problems. I came across Emily’s IG page, and am learning so much and was so excited when I found out she had a podcast!! I dove right in and listened to every episode so far and have learned so much!! I can’t wait for more episodes!! Thank you for sharing your story and your knowledge!! She truly is so passionate about what she does, sharing knowledge and helping women feel their best! It is so helpful and I am so thankful and feel more confident about facing my health problems!!

My Hormone Bestie!! - Emily Rea is so amazing! She really does strive to help women by insuring we get information we need to help heal ourselves from the crap we believed was good for us. And this is free information!!! Some of us can’t afford programs and courses but this podcast gives so much trustworthy information so we can try to build our healing regime on our own. I so look forward to her podcast each week!!!! She actually cares about us ladies and wants to see us succeed! Thank you Emily Rea!!! I love my new Hormone Bestie!!! Emma Deia

So happy to have found her - I discovered Little Rae of Health on Instagram about two months ago and I’m so happy I did. All of her information is so knowledgeable and very easy to comprehend. There’s SO much I had no idea about and listening to her podcast and following her content on social media really opened my eyes to take better care of myself. I look forward to her episodes and can’t wait to learn more.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 04:17:52 GMT

So thankful I found out about her! - I first heard Emily Rae on Alex Clark’s The Spillover podcast. I was hesitant to listen because I had honestly been getting tired of some of the health gurus on Instagram making you feel almost guilty if you weren’t avoiding every single thing that could possibly have a toxin in it. Emily is NOT like that. She is relatable, honest and encouraging. She offers so much good information that women don’t get taught about their hormones and I appreciate that she teaches how to use the natural foods that God gave us to heal our bodies. This podcast leaves you feeling armed and equipped with new knowledge and she gives you hope that you don’t have to suffer through day to day but that you can actually thrive.

Hormone Health Bestie!!! - Rating this podcast stars is an absolute no brainer. If you are looking for a place to learn more about health and wellness and healing yourself from the inside out, look no further than The Little Rae of Health podcast! Emily is so passionate, well spoken, and has the best energy. I quickly became obsessed with her on Instagram after listening to her episode of the Spillover with Alex Clark (S, Ep ). Emily is a wealth of knowledge and I can’t wait to hear more

Come back, Sami and Aileen! - I really wanted to like the new hosts but I can’t. Their “jokes” fall flat and it’s obvious they barely know one another. Every episode feels like a boring first date. The chemistry between Sami and Aileen and their shared history is what made the show relatable. I’ve forced myself to listen to a couple of episodes but the show is ruined. The only reason I still follow is in case Sami and Aileen are “guests” in the future.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 03:15:00 GMT

Missing the relatability - Aileen was very real and relatable. I think she leaned into health and joy in a wag that was relatable to me as a mom and woman navigating this world. She also had a warmth and kindness that came through in every episode. This new version of the show actually feels like it leans into “wellness culture “ and at times, defends what I feel are what this podcast is supposed to question.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 15:00:33 GMT

Stopped listening to the new hosts - I literally only have a subscription to listen to Sami & Aleen. I cannot stand the new hosts’ personalities, buzz words, and incessant obsession with self love. It’s ok to want to change things about yourself sometimes or better yourself! And honestly, I forget which host but one of them sounds dirty. Like she says she doesn’t shower for days and the. I see an episode title about how often do you wash your workout clothes? Um, after every use? Is this what we’ve devolved to? Sami & Aleen, come back! And if not, just scrap this podcast. I was sad when Betches moms disappeared. Now this one has gone down the toilet.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 02:44:56 GMT

Just… Why - There is absolutely nothing relatable about the new hosts. I’m so tired of them trying to shove self love and body positivity down our throats, yes it’s a good thing but be realistic! It makes me cringe so hard. Maybe in the past some of the episodes could be deemed “problematic” but at least they were funny, relatable and a reflection of what the listeners actually think/feel. Especially the episodes with Jared were always so funny but he’s probably not coming back because the new hosts will just attack him for being speaking his truth cause it’s not PC They just feel so fake and obsessed with being politically correct it’s obnoxious
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 01:16:40 GMT

This isn’t working… - I am a back for seconds subscriber and LOVE the eps with Sami and Aleen… but I almost want to unsubscribe all together to send a message that it’s just not working with these two new hosts… they are not relatable nor great interviewers, and really not funny. I love sex and I think it’s a great topic to discuss and no one should be shamed for speaking about it but when EVERY podcast somehow segways to a sex convo or a weird sex joke that’s not funny at all it’s just annoying and cringy… the trends and especially the recent skin care episode really sealed the deal for me… I hope the Betches team realizes that these two don’t really have what it takes to carry this podcast and they cut their losses and either cancel the show or get new hosts… It makes me sad that my fave pod is now awful

The most reliable health podcast - Is there an award for best health podcast in the world? Because The Proof will win it year after year. I feel like I’ve gone through a masterclass in health and particularly cardiovascular health after listening to several episodes. Simon really covers the latest science that many current doctors are not even aware of (I know this because my family comprises many medical doctors and right now it’s me, a non-medical doctor, who is updating them on the latest science and tests available). For example, the best blood test predictor of atherosclerosis/cardiovascular health is ApoB, not hdl/ldl. Yet most doctors don’t order this test. The depth and detail covered in this podcast is like nothing else I’ve heard and the practical steps to take are immensely useful. I also like to add that Simon is a great interviewer to all his expert guests. He checks any ego at the door and approaches the conversation with an open mind and humility, despite being an expert in nutrition himself. Love this podcast. I hope Simon never stops with this work. He’s a true talent.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:09:10 GMT

Fantastic guests and Information - I love Simon’s interview style and his fact based approach. He does a great job interviewing guests by asking excellent questions and then summarizing the responses into understandable points. This podcast is what I point people to when they are looking for nutrition or health information. I just hope more get exposed to this science because the benefits are real. Good work Simon and thank you for your tremendous efforts to help others!

Tom Dayspring episode - I appreciate so very much the trustworthy, accessible knowledge Simon provides in his podcasts. As a heart attack survivor, I am very interested in learning more about why I landed in the cath lab and how to prevent a return trip. As a follower of Dr. Esselstyn’s reversal diet, I frequently find myself embroiled in the diet wars with friends and “The Proof” podcast is one of my most valuable resources to learn the science without the agenda.

My Favorite Podcast - This is my favorite podcast for all things health, disease prevention, fitness and plant based nutrition and its benefits not just to humans but for animals and our environment. I’ve learned so much from Simon and have radically changed my lifestyle for the better learning from this podcast and his book The Proof Is In The Plants and I e never felt better! Thank you Simon for all you share, please never stop
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 12:39:45 GMT

Balanced, scientific, comprehensive. - This podcast is my all-time favorite ever. I have legitimately learned more from Simon than I did in my grad degree in nutrition. Every interview is so well executed and packed with information. I also love that Simon seeks perspectives that don’t just support what he believes. This is so important to avoid that echo chamber that so many of us get trapped in. Thank you, Simon & team!

Relationship reboot!! - I found Vanessa and Zander when our relationship needed it most. The podcast, following on instagram, and the amazing master classes have changed our marriage! Our sex life has gone from routine to crave worthy, along with improvement in so many other aspects of our relationship. Discussing topics from the podcast have really opened up our communication. So grateful to have found Vanessa and Zander. My husband listens and follows, as well, which leads to great conversations. Thank you Vanessa and Zander for talking about so many topics that most podcasts don’t even touch on

The mental load of tech support! - Listening to this episode now and had to pause to come comment when you guys started talking about "technical support for the family." This is me I am really good at it but I hate it so much because I have to do it. The entire family except my husband are Apple users with everything. I am the default technical support whether I like it or not because my husband doesn't know anything about Apple devices and in his mind has no reason to learn. I’m so glad you guys talked about this one; technical support is such an under appreciated mental load - this family (with TEENS!) wouldn't be able to function without it!

So helpful to hear honest talk about societally taboo things - I l ve listening to vanessa and Xander breakdown so many different aspects of relationships and intimacy. They dove into everything from common societal discussions to things people are nervous to speak about. It’s helped me so much when talking to my partner and given me a ton to think about personally and making sure I am confident in what I want and asking for it! Must listen

JUST WHAT WE NEEDED; WHEN WE NEEDED IT - I found your podcast shortly after New Years after several challenging conversations with my girlfriend of months. I shared episode , How to get your man to take control in the bedroom, with my girlfriend and we were immediately hooked . She had brought this up before but I didn’t know what it really meant… Our relationship started out exciting, new and passionate, but we were still not very good at communicating our wants, needs and desires. I was getting out of a -year marriage so wasn’t sure what i wanted or how to articulate it . Your ability to talk openly about challenging subjects while constantly stressing the importance of communication is fantastic. We have incorporated so much into our lives both inside and outside the bedroom. I bought the Sex Positions Playbook for V-Day and………WOW!!!! Your podcast has helped take our relationship to a whole new level and we are forever grateful. Dave (Sweet Cheeks) and Eli (Queen of ’s)

It’s like…sex awareness! - Love this podcast. Vanessa’s knowledge and expertise paired with her hubbies willingness to be vulnerable and share his personal experiences/struggles is what does it for me! Also, just listening to a podcast on a regular basis talking about healthy sex things is so helpful! It helps put the desire of having sex in the front of our minds (naturally prioritizing it)! Before this podcast, sex was just a thing I knew my hubby and I had to squeeze in without letting too much time pass but now, we can be mindful and purposeful and really enjoy sex (even if it has to be quick! We have kids in sports and school! Super hectic ). Makes us both very happy to have gotten here, even if it was purely by chance that I found you! (I was bored at work and typed in something like how to feel sexy in search of a podcast and this came up! Lol perfect!). Also, love your new book. Almost done with it Hope you make content for us for a LONG TIME! Thank you all for all that you do and for your willingness to share so much with us!

Glad I listened to more episodes - Hello! I started following Vanessa and Xander on Insta because I enjoyed their comments and videos on there and was looking for some tips to reconnect with my husband of years emotionally and physically. The first two episodes I listened to were more recent, an hour long, and both times the first minutes was advertisements; their book and sponsors. Both of which I understand, but was, in my opinion, excessive. I decided to listen to episodes they had recorded earlier, and I am so glad I did. They are a wonderful couple with research based advise and I have actually shared a few episodes with my and year old children, as well as my husband. I hope that they get back to more of the episode and less of the advertisements at the beginning. I hope you enjoy the episodes as much as I do.

- I first learned about Pillow Talks when Vanessa guest starred on Girls Gotta Eat. I’ve been a dedicated listener since. This duo is hilarious, insightful, and just so fun to listen too. I’ve become so much more comfortable with my sexuality and talking about sex. I wish I had experienced this kind of sex education from a younger age. There’s a lot of have to unlearn. This podcast is also a GREAT way to more deeply connect with your partner. My boyfriend and I listened to multiple episodes on a recent road trip. The podcast content inspired so many great conversations. We’ll be listening together on a more regular basis from here on out

Episode - Vanessa and Xander…… I found your You Tube videos over a year ago when searching sex in relationships. I loved the content and it led me to your podcasts and other formats which I’ve been following ever since. For reference, I’m a year old male married to an incredible woman for almost years. I have gotten so much out of your work and have purchased several of your products. Thank you both so much for what you do!! When I listened to your episode the other day I was actually surprised by how strongly it hit me. I ran the gamut of emotions, truly feeling so sad listening to you describe how you were scammed and taken advantage of, feeling joy as you described how people you never expected to respond actually responded to you and your book in a big way, and feeling “yeah, I’ve felt that” when you described how vulnerable you felt at different times in the process of getting the book out. In fact the level of vulnerability you described in those situations was only rivaled by the vulnerability you had doing the podcast itself. I have loved all of your podcasts, but to me the vulnerability and the authenticity I felt in this one seemed to be even a notch higher. You can tell how much all of this meant to you and how much you opened up and put yourselves out there for this revealing podcast. Absolutely stellar!! Thank you again for all you do and for your guidance on so many topics. And thank you for showing us that regardless of age, the length of our relationships or the depth of our problems that honesty and communication will always get us thru and we are always capable of great things with our partners. Keep up the great work!! Signed, another penis owning member of the V&X Fan-club!!

Love - I honestly have a hard time with listening comprehension as a visual learner, so podcasts have been hard for me to get into in the past. However, as a follower of Mari since her dad’s basement days, I knew that I had to give this a try. I am so happy I did. I am the heaviest I have ever been, have been on a mental health journey, and have struggled with my wellness my whole adult life. I get overwhelmed knowing where to start and have started and quit so many times on my own journey to lose weight and most importantly, become the best version of myself. This podcast inspires me to keep trying, to find my own version of wellness and to not try to fit into a one size fits all mold. Mari is an excellent speaker and interviewer which makes this so easy to listen to. I love the variety of guests, perspectives and stories shared. Can’t wait for more!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:31:14 GMT

A must listen! - This show is a must listen. Mari’s honesty, hard work and kindness for her guests is so inspirational. Her ability to create a safe space for her guests, whether controversial or not, allows them to open up comfortably and honestly. We need more hosts like Mari to invite everyone to the table - diversity of thought is so powerful! She has truly hit the nail on the head with this podcast. Cannot wait for each new episode!

Perfect Timing - This podcast started at the most perfect time for me in my life and my journey. I’m getting married soon, so balancing my hormones after our wedding is a huge priority for me. I’ve also been working on my overall health and well-being and this podcast is exactly what I needed! I honestly wish there was more content to binge right now for me to soak in all the knowledge! Mari is seriously one of the best interviewers and keeps the conversation flowing so naturally!

Leads by example - For anyone who has been following Mari or just started to connect with her content, it’s clear that she leads by example. Her character is extraordinary along with her story. It’s a blessing to hear straight from the source herself! She speaks from her personal experience. The viewpoints she offers are beyond comparison. It’s amazing to see her growth and hear all about how she overcame certain challenges. She’s a great leader in this community. & her voice is super engaging to me she keeps her audiences attention very well.

Supports compassionate healing & growth - I stumbled across this podcast while searching for a self-forgiveness podcast and was immediately drawn in to Forest and Rick. Their approach is practical, down to earth, and with much compassion and empathy. It makes healing through some of these difficult topics very relatable. They are my go to when I know I am feeling vulnerable and tender, because I know I will always feel supported when I have finished. I love that Forest does a recap at the end of every episode as it helps to reinforce the key messages of the pod…I’ve recommended this to everyone who is looking for new content!

Gratitude for Being Well - This is my absolute favorite podcast. I’ve been experiencing so much mental instability lately and Being Well has been such an important stabilizing force in my life. Forrest does an excellent job finding the balance between science and anecdote and really expertly navigates the nuance of the wildly complex world of mental health and psychology. I’m so grateful to you, Forrest, for creating such a beautiful platform for Rick and the other guests. Even outside of the really valuable content shared, your combination of high commitment and and high transparency and authenticity is such an inspiration to me. It feels almost too good to be true that we get to listen in on really beautiful moments with your father and generous moments of self disclosure. What a gift. Thank you!

podcast - appreciate the part focused on women’s experience in being embodied and most of the time disembodied - please do more just on women’s work on being embodied especially around abortion and how some states are going to imprison women for their deciding to give birth or not . also women of color have different trauma experiences from generational medical acts and psychological trauma inflicted on them by white men - huge subjects worth talking g about- thanks for putting these issues out there more and more as women’s rights are more under threat than ever

Disappointed in the new seasons - We discovered Forever Ago last year and have finally worked our way through all the episodes. The older episodes are fantastic and really useful in correlation with lesson plans and educational exploration. Joy Dolo is energetic, fun, concise and authentic - and having her kiddo co-hosts always makes my littles talk about how they want to host some day. Unfortunately however, the last two seasons have started to take a turn. They are no longer unbiased fact based history lessons, but are injecting more and more opinion and editorial content that is difficult for children to sort out. This is incredibly disappointing and loses credibility as a fact focused educational resource.

f§§§§§%%%%))&(/,ugbmnucutedytetuvfugiiph - dm Mn has a lot more to do than just a single piece and the fact it is the first one that is a lot more complicated is just not worth the enough for the same thing as a lot more than the first piece but it’s a bit of an interesting design to have in the works for a few more months and a lot more time than it would be in a single project like a real project with the whole thing in the background of a project and a whole new concept of what it’s doing to create it in real time so you could have the first part and the final piece in real life in real world things that would have a very interesting story in a lot less video or in real time or a video that is not in a movie and then the first first one one is that it will make your eyes eyes so excited so proud and happy happy and thank the universe and the universe all of the people for all who helped make it this way too many.

Lies about covid - You are sheep. The government lied to you. They told us that covid was deathly. PS. You have a political agenda. Please stop making episodes mentioning things such as vaccines and covid. I would give five stars but only will I do that when I see shows in a row not mentioning covid. You are losing listeners. I have fourteen friends and they all stopped listening after you discussed this. It’s only a matter of time until I stop too. Leave republicans and democrats out of this. It needs easy simple ways for kids to understand history.

The best podcast!!! - Hi I’m and love your podcast! Is there anyway to be a guest host? I do tend to like the older episodes better, and why do all of the kids win first things first ALL the time? Come on! I do love this podcast, though. And I listen everyday! If you stop posting for years again I will be angry. I’ve been listening to other podcasts bc you aren’t posting so please please please post!!!! P.S. why must it take so long to make episodes? If it’s bc they don’t have a guest host, I’m here when you need me! Seriously though I have years of theatre experience. PLEASE tell us how to be hosts, I’m not the only one who wants to know!!!!!!!

SHAY JESS PLS LOOK AT THIS I LUV U - I’m in the th grade and I’m homeschooled so next year I’m going to a SCHOOL SCHOOL and I’m really nervous but this podcast has helped me soooooooo much with telling my mom things. Puberty. And other things. really all I’m scared about growing up is getting my period. I haven’t gotten mine yet and it feels kind of weird not to have mine. I’ve had a few jump scares where it felt like I got mine but I didn’t. How do I know if I got mine because I’m an athlete so I sweat a lot also Shay and Jess if you see this I am a huge fan and if you could please make this an episode I would love that

This is great for all girlies - This podcast really helped me navigate with my sixth grade year in middle school. I have this one friend that would make me feel guilty for my achievements, when a friend should congratulate you when you excel. And the thing is she felt upset when I get better grades, I asked her if she needed help and she said no. So I didn’t really know what to do! I mean like she would give a tone and a death stare! But I just don’t hang out with her anymore. So I hang out with the good friends in my life. But just know, friends should help you grow, and not make you feel you have to stoop down to their level to be their friend. Never let anyone know, they hurt you. CRY AT HOME you don’t wanna give them anymore reasons to hurt you. But JUST REMEMBER you are beautiful and very smart and capable, and you are awesome. p.s. she also made everything about her, so please don’t do that and remember to take both brains into account before you say anything! your fellow girlie ( you don’t know hehe)

The girl the bunny and the friend - Hi my name is Josie I live in Colorado and I just listened to a episode of one of these podcasts.I think that it is really really creative so can you make a podcast about a a girl who just got a a magic wand and has a stuffed animal and just found out that if you start to talk to it comes to life and her mom find’s out by listening on her door and the girls name is Josie also can you make the stuffed animal a bunny and her name is fluffy bunny. And her friend name is Foster and he couldn’t believe it together they became better friends fluffy bunny foster and Josie and that’s my story.

If you pick us - (This story is from mommy and she’s so proud of you girls!) I’d like their story to be about a Shark Queen named Amiyah and a Mermaid Queen named Armani.

There’s a reason there’s a subscription… - My guess- ONLY A GUESS- is that the subscription is mandatory and can’t exactly be controlled. Grimm Grimmer Grimmest is by Pinna, and Pinna is an app you have to pay subscription on, but it has all the episodes. I’d just say quit trying to rebel against it on something the company does to every podcast by Pinna. These episodes are the best! I love this podcast so much. Keep making these!

Incredible - It is suspenseful and very interesting.I would tell Adam that he should make up his own story . The stories are so good that I would crawl up into my blanket and start an episode. I also find the stories very entertaining and yet the weirdest stories I have ever heard. I also love all of the “Franze cazavaun shernvert” stories that you have put into your podcast.

Take away the subscription - I can listen to the episodes and seasons with the subscription on them, but other people might not be able to listen to the episodes because of the subscription fee so please take away the subscription! ADAM! Take away the subscription, do you even read our messages because we have been wanting subscription gone for about year! I asked you nicely the first time. You also need to make new episodes sooner because I have been waiting over a week for a new episode and the crab man’s daughter was made days after The grave. DAYS!

Cats and Dogs - Once upon a time a dog named Mila followed her friend Raven the cat into the woods. Then there was a huge camp where cats all lived together and in the same place. Mila was a snuggle bug and when her owners were playing recorder, she licked the recorder. When the cats saw her coming, they shrieked in a weird language and ran off. Mila felt alone more than ever. Raven licked Mila so she wasn’t sad. Then Bella the wolf came over and said, “I’ll talk to the cats for you”. Raven walked away from Mila and Bella. Then he found a camp of dogs! The dogs were powerful and could chase him off! Raven hissed, as the leader of the dogs spotted him. “Who are you to trespass in our camp!?”asked the leader dog. Raven hissed at her and ran away. He wondered why cats and dogs couldn’t live peacefully! Bella walked to the river where the cats were drinking from. “Why did you guys run away from Mila? She wouldn’t hurt a fly!”Said Bella. The cats ran across the water away from Bella. Bella snorted and walked back to her pack. Bella has to show the animals of the forest that they could all be friends. Then Bella had an idea! Mila walked out of her house and sniffed the ground. She figured she’d go and visit Milky the cow. Then she saw Bella coming from the farm with a chicken. “Hi Bella. Find a way to make the cats and dogs like each other?”asked Mila. “Yes in fact let’s go to Barker. Barker can call everyone together to show that we can all be friends. Mila remembered that Barker was a huge mountain lion. Mila was nervous around him but if it meant peace... Raven sat down next to Mila and Bella at the Gathering that Barker called. “Three animals have shown they can be friends. Raven, Mila, and Bella! Please step forward. We can all be friends everyone! We don’t need to fight over boundaries!”Barker yelled from up above. Raven felt like he could reach the stars on the rock. “But dogs chase cats! Wolves hurt the dogs! And cats attack the wolves! How can they be friends?”asked the audience. “Just as you suspected. They helped their community by becoming friends. Now you can too! We will all be united as one forest!”Said Barker. Raven calmed down. His neck fur still bristling. “Mhm...okay I guess we could try to be friends.”Said the audience. Bella took care of her sister’s pups for the day. Now that Barker fixed everything, everyone could go anywhere they wanted. “Hi Raven!”Said Bella. Raven waved and went back to fetch Mila. Then the three of them had fun for the rest of their lives THE END! -from UnicornLover’s best friend

Ever evolving experiences - I have been following the Dad Edge for going on three years. I finally pulled the trigger and joined the DEA months ago. Man it’s been a roller coaster but there is not a more humble group of men. I have found a place of belonging where every man is open with each other. It is not the norm today’s society puts on men. We’re all here to be better versions of ourselves and leave a better place behind for our children. A legacy they can be proud of. Thank you to Larry and the education he and his guests give us weekly.

The Thursday throw down with Uncle Joe and the men from the Alliance make it all so fricking real and relevant. I’m blessed to be a part of this community and it all started with this podcast. There are no coincidences in life. In a rough spot this podcast was recommended to me. Then I found the Alliance! Everything started to change! Thank you Larry Hagner! You’re changing lives.

The best dog and human trainer :)! - Tom helped me a lot with a relationship with my dog. Too much love isn’t what they need, they need a strong leader! His podcast is very easy to understand and applicable! Thank you much and hope to see you one day! Come to VA :)!! Question: I trained my dog “heel” command with the slip leash on the website. Now I wanna move onto e collar, but my dog’s neck is too small and when I contacted the customer service on your website, they replied to me that the e collar on the No bad dog website is too big for my Mini labradoodle. Do you have any recommendation on e collar for smaller dog?
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 02:11:09 GMT

Question - This was a great episode! How can I help my year old doodle to stop fixating on other dogs. In the past it has lead to reactivity but now he sort of bucks up and walks in front of me almost tripping me. Sometime a whine comes out but he normally just stares. I have tried different methods such as heel around other dogs, directional changes etc. It’s like he is so hyper focused he can’t hear anything I say, and even when I make directional changes he is still looking at the dog. He could care less about the pops on the prong. I don’t know if I need to switch to an e-collar on the leash, but he is trained off the leash already with the e-collar. I don’t mind him looking on a loose leash beside me but I don’t like him cutting me off. He will pay attention to me throughout our walk by looking up at me, but when a dog comes in sight forget it. Right now I am working on stop and goes to make sure he is with me instead of talking to him, but I’m beginning to wonder if I need to switch tools and methods. Thanks for all that you do for the dog training world!

Best dog training podcast! - This is by far the best dog training podcast out there! Detailed answers that are clear and fit into the real world. I was wondering if you could talk about the struggles of having to re home a dog. My husband and I just recently had to re-home our month old Dutch Shepherd back to his breeder because of aggression and leash reactivity that we had been trying to work through without much, if any, success. He ended up biting a family member- thank goodness they are fine- but that incident really opened our eyes. Even though it completely broke our hearts, we knew he was just not the right dog for us- we didn’t have the skills or resources needed to properly train him. He will end up having the life he deserves being able to work and perform a job. Sometimes re-homing is just being a really responsible dog owner.

Great podcasts. And great trainer!!! - Greatest podcast ever! This has helped me so much with my rescue. How do you help a dog reactive yr cattle dog pit mix. He is not aggressive but he puts his hackles up and barks. We have gone to a behavioralist and she said he was afraid. He does not take chicken (witch he loves) and he gets fixated on the dog. He lives with a Rottweiler and does fine. But when it comes to strange dogs he just goes crazy. Should I use a e collar or will that just make it worse? But I’m also confused because he has gone to a doggy daycare and played with those dogs fine. Could this be leash reactivity. I need help!
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 16:22:39 GMT

Fantastic pod. - Hi Tom. I’ll get right to it. I’m a dog trainer, and a pretty good one, but this case is very tough and I’d like to pick your brain: I’m working with a family that rescued a small mix that is terrified to have a leash put on. They literally can’t do it. His history (and I’ve seen video footage) was that he was running on a highway somewhere, people pursued him, and when they got a leash on him, he “alligator rolled himself into exhaustion.” Now, the owner reports that if they try to trap, leash, or pick him up, he thrashes like he is fighting for his life, pees all over, and tries to bite hard. They’ve had him for months and still can’t leash him. I have them hand feeding to build a bond, doing light collar touches paired with treats, and leaving a leash on the floor and tossing treats to the dog if he even approaches it. All of that is going fine but I’m stuck. Any thoughts? Thanks so much. Keep doing what you do. -Don Lamb

Crazy German shepherd - Hi Tom! I used to own a dog daycare/boarding facility, have always loved working with my dogs and now I walk quite a few dogs. I like to think I have a natural way with dogs and know how to read them and work with them. I love your podcast and listen to it any free moment I have. I love the way you explain things and I always am learning something new to try. The question I have is about my year old German shepherd, Zeke, he is a great dog and listens and knows all his commands but lately I have been working with him on the ecollar to be fully reliable off leash…which he is when it is only me and him but if I have my other two German shepherds (who are both perfect off leash and very submissive to him) I have to keep Zeke on leash or make the other male shepherd stay near me or else Zeke will run full force towards Abel(other male). Zeke will either just kind of circle in front of him and intimidate him and make sure he’s stays behind him or if he’s really amped up he will go after him (which besides this time, they get along amazing, no issues at all.) I have tried to correct this with a prong collar but that doesn’t do anything and I also recently tried to correct it with the ecollar but only a couple times because I don’t know if it is something that should be corrected with the ecollar and I don’t want to make it worse or have him get frustrated. My biggest fear is them getting into a fight (which they have) but it carrying over into the house or yard or over other things, where now they can share anything and are great together. Side note Zeke is on Prozac because when he was about months he starts fly biting behavior(snapping at invisible “bugs” in the air) and he has some other ocd behaviors.

Best Podcast! - I’ve been following your videos for sometime and most recently started listening to the podcast, I binge listen everyday! I also just got my No Bad Dogs slip leash and I LOVE it, compared to my others the spring stopper is amazing. Dog question: My dog (border collie mix) slaps his jaw when he gets excited or wants to play, we call it his alligator chomp, I was told it was something he’d probably grow out of but here we are years later. I think it’s cute and fun, some people who don’t know he’s a huge love think that he’s trying to bite them. He never tries to make contact to even bite or nip but I can understand based on his size how it may come off to others who aren’t as knowledgeable with dogs. I don’t want to discourage it because it’s usually a happy/playful behavior, never out of aggression. Do you think I should be depressing this behavior?

Question for you! - Hey! Love the podcast and your YouTube channel, thank you for putting so much information out there for free! Here’s my question: I have a .mo Doberman pup pushing lb he is incredibly sweet and smart as a whip, BUT I’m having some issue with his mouthing. We worked on this from day since dobes are notoriously mouthy, and while it has improved drastically, sometimes he gets into these fits trying to jump and bite my arms relentlessly. This occasionally happens when we play tug, after a few reps he tries to get me with his mouth instead of going for the toy. I’m confident he is trying to entice play but I don’t want this to become a habit and eventually escalate to a biting problem. Any advice?

My APBT also drinks his pee while peeing… - Hello! I absolutely love your podcast and am currently addicted to it. I have been listening to multiple episodes a day to work my way through all of them. I just about died laughing while listening to your episode “Life of a hunting dog trainer” because my APBT Finn would drink his pee while he peed just like the German Shepherd you described. When you said “the owners knew the dog was special” I just about fell on the floor crying with laughter because it is so spot on and true. I recently rescued a new dog, his name is Rhys and he is months. We are struggling with jumping when he gets over excited. He has been coming to the barn with me when I ride and he is just so happy to be there and hangout with the lesson kids. But, he has been leaping up in the air to say hello to them. Not only are they short but he has major hops and has been booping them in the face in excitement. I would love to hear what your suggestion would be to address this. Thank you! Love, Toby, Finn & Rhys

So helpful! - Thank you so much for putting this information out there in such an accessible wayTom. I’ve learned so many pointers and practical tips to help with training. Thank you! I have a one year old Rottweiler who is very sweet and loving, but also resource guards inconsistently. She has no real food aggression. I’m able to engage with her in most circumstances until she deems something valuable. She knows all of her basic commands and will drop an item and leave it, unless she decides not to. I am able to quickly tell when she is resource guarding. The other issue with this is she often ingests what she’s resource guarding no matter if it’s edible or not. And often it is not. She’s already had to have abdominal surgery once, and I really don’t want that to be the solution both financially, and obviously for her health. Thanks again for all you do for pet owners, and their pets,

Question - Love the show, it's been very helpful in training our lb, month old lab/chinook spayed girl. She hated us for a long part of the beginning of our relationship. Not sure exactly why, I think we gave her too much freedom and expected that she would just figure things out like all of our previous dogs but now we know that just left her anxious, wondering what to do and how to be. She so sweet with dogs and people, no problems there thank goodness. We've been doing really well lately using mostly positive (treat/attention) reinforcement balanced with a starmark collar for clarification. Now that we're doing well I wonder how to wean off of treats once she knows what she's supposed to do. Thanks for everything!

Dog that is so excited, he won’t listen. - Hi Tom! Firstly, I’d like to say how much your podcasts and YouTube videos have helped me out. I currently work at a doggy daycare/lodging facility. I have been given the opportunity to start working towards becoming a dog trainer since we are in need of one, but I haven’t received much guidance/training as I’d like, so your videos and podcasts have helped me immensely. I’ve been working hands on with a couple dogs, but my biggest problem right now is a neutered month old Dogo Argentino who is so high strung, excited, and easily overstimulated when around other dogs and people to a point that he does not respond to anyone or anything. Obviously, I have been and want to continue working on more leash training, building a relationship with him, as well as creating structure and accountability for this dog. He has not shown any aggression to people or dogs. His biggest issues are getting too rough for even our highest energy dogs and he also has some male dominance tendencies and occasionally tries to mount other male dogs, which as you’d expect makes the receiving end very upset. I was wondering if you had any pieces of advice to help out this pup when I get to the point of consistent and successful leash training and am ready to introduce him to group play again. I’d hate to see him not have the opportunity to play with other dogs because he really enjoys playing out in group, or in worse cases, see him even develop aggression given his breed. I really appreciate any insight you could offer, thank you!!!

Amazing Podcast! - Hey Tom, I’ve gone through about episodes in week since I found this podcast, I absolutely love it. I have two questions; . How do I find the episodes before ? Both on Spotify and Apple podcasts they only go back to , . I’m a little bit confused on Fostering dogs, it’s something I would really like to do but I have this dilemma of getting the dog building a good bond and then the dog thinking I’m abandoning it as this is probably all they have ever known, also I don’t know how to start. Curious to hear your thoughts on fostering?

Training with mobility problems - Hi Tom, love the podcast. I’ve only been listening for about two weeks or so and I love hearing all the different dogs and training approaches for them. My question is about an older individual being able to train a puppy. Long story short, my friends mom got two puppies for Christmas against everyone’s recommendations and she doesn’t/didn’t know anything about training dogs. She let them play together all day every day with no interventions and no training or keeping them separate. I offered to take one of them to train and so she could focus on the other one to train and get housebroken. I’ve been working with her a couple of sessions now on how to give corrections and basic structure (thresholds, keeping a schedule, putting in a couple of training sessions a day) with a puppy, which she is doing some of at this point, hard to say how much. The puppy I have has come a long way is doing fine with training. But my question is, since she is an older woman and has arthritis in her hands and is not very fast, do you have suggestions on tools or methods to help her be able to train this puppy herself and do so safely and with fairness to the dog? We will be doing more sessions together and teaching her how to become a better dog handler and are currently using your slip leash which I have had success using with this puppy but the woman is still learning how to use it. which ultimately means sometimes she doesn’t know what to do when the puppy is reacting to seeing other dogs or people and the puppy is just choking herself out. I’m tentative about moving to a prong collar but not really sure what to do. If you have any thoughts I’d greatly appreciate it! Once again love the podcast and all the other content, it’s all helped me become a better handler and create better relationships with my dogs!

Love it you are amazing. Your podcast are so educational - In all my years of owning dogs, This new rescue is a challenge. He is sensitive and emotional and seems to be all terrier! He is Months lb American pitbull terrier and American Staffordshire terrier according to his dna results we have had him for about months. He is neutered. I have acquired a trainer who recommended your pod casts and a book on top of the training. I have had training sessions and were working on leash control. Sit , place, aryour normal obedience. We have just added collar as an additional tool because I’m having issues controlling him through a leash and we discussed the prong collar may not work well with his redirection right now. My issue is he Is like dr Jekyll and me Hyde. My yo son can’t freely walk through the house. He has bitten my husband on a correction one minute he is loving my friends and the next he is attacking. He has been kicked out of daycare until his attitude is adjusted. There’s also a question of Lyme, he was recently treated for. I just want this aggression to cease or. I want to be able to control it better. I know obedience comes into play first. Maybe I’m trying to rush it I am just so stressed out by him.

Fav dog podcast! - Hi Tom! I love all your content but I LOVE your podcast. Being able to listen and learn on my drives brings so much joy to my life. Thank you for everything you put out. Your training style helped me raise the absolute BEST dog, and I couldn’t thank you enough as I was a complete novice before I got him and with your content I was able to set him up for success in every aspect except the one thing I have a question about I have a year old doodle (poodle/Pekingese) who was attacked by two large dogs in December of who pinned him down. Although I was able to pick him up so no physical harm was done, plenty of psychology damage was still the result. Since the attack we’ve been dealing with some on leash reactivity as well as barking in the car. He still does great with dogs knew and trusted before the attack though! He’s a very structured dog. He knows the rules and very seldomly pushes limits. Even when he does a change in tone fixes him quite quickly. We train daily for at least - minutes, walk him, burn him out mentally. And it’s always been like that. I’ve tried R approached and tried correcting the behavior when he lunges and barks at these dogs, as well as as soon as I see him fixating. What is the best timing? Or best approach to getting him to finally get over it. I honestly do not expect him to be fine with other dogs (although I’d like a second dog eventually!) I just want him to relax and trust that I’ve got this so we can get back to our normal life of him going out and about and having fun with us. Instead of it being stressful for both of us. Advice appreciated SO MUCH thank you.

Offering a helping hand - I have a coworker that has a / year old spayed German Shepard that definitely is reactive, I have met the dog and when they let the dog out of the crate I ignored the dog and she would bark at me as like a get away and would charge me but I don’t react at all, and the dog gave up trying to ward me off. The owner of the dog is my assistant and she’s young and learning. I would love to help them make the dogs life better about modifying that behavior and having the dog think in those situations. But how do I bring up offering to help? I’ve definitely have mentioned like if you need anything I’m here to help and I don’t know if I should just be available until they realize they may need help or try to say something about I can help with that?

Neighborhood Reactivity - Hey Tom! Absolutely LOVE your podcast and am so thankful for all the information you put out there. I currently work with a balanced trainer and overall my goldendoodles obedience is excellent. He’s years old and we just recently started having major dog reactivity problems only in our neighborhood. We used to allow him off leash with an e-collar(mini educator) to play in our un-fenced yard, however it’s gotten to the point where he’s gone after a dog walking by so we no longer allow him out without a long line and constantly making sure no dogs are walking by if we play fetch. I use a prong collar when I walk him in the neighborhood on a leash and every dog we pass he gets super reactive now (except small dogs). Ignores corrections and changes of direction. Sometimes can get him distracted if I hold a high-value treat in front of his face. However, if I go on a trail away from my home he can be off leash with an e-collar and not even care about other dogs. I just find it strange how he seems so protective, but only in his house or neighborhood. Any ideas on why this is or anything we can do to help with this? Side note: Many of our neighbors have electric fences and sometimes have gone through them to chase my dog while on leash, so I’m thinking that’s what may have “traumatized” him from the neighborhood dogs unfortunately.

Ball Targeting - Thank you for all the content you put out. I have been watching your your YouTube before I got my my dog. You helped me a base and plan of attack when I got her. Your content is some of the most digestible for beginner and novice dog handlers. Thank you you everything you do for the dog owners and the dog training community. I Spend a lot of time in my car and I have listen to every episode which has helped drive as a dog training enthusiast. Now on to my question. I saw you story of your everyday with Lakota and how she focuses on the ball with the rope. I had and almost yr old wire haired pointing griffon. I have a ball with a rope that I use for play and building of drive in her. The problem I have is getting her to target the ball. She always targets the rope on it. She will grab the rope and destroy it. I will hold it at the ball and try to get her to grab the ball but it becomes less interesting to her. What is the best way to have her target grabbing the ball as opposed to always going after the rope it’s on? Thank you in advance Joe

Mental Health & Dog Training in - First off, THANK YOU! Your podcast has guided me thru many frustrating and emotional rollercoaster moments with my pittie mix puppy. And you are the best resource I’ve had access to that gives me real life scenarios that not only helps me understand my dog better and how to help/handle her, but to also know these struggles are common and have a solution. It helps tremendously to know im not alone and that its not just me! Now to my question :) Athena is just over now. And when i have her food in hand she is practically militant with her training. On point, nails every command (enthusiastically as she has tons of energy) and can even hold the commands for - minutes (place work) in low and medium distractions until I break her…as long as there is still food around. Once she realizes training session is over, its downhill and her commands turn into “maybe i will, most likely i won’t). So she is very food aware. How do I translate this training into just obedience and less a performance act?. Is it just a matter of time? Do I need to do higher distraction training that would help solidify the obedience more? Or does she just need to finish maturing mentally to make better choices?

The Best Podcast In Music - The best thing about this podcast is I think it will take an angle on a subject and it takes me somewhere I never expected . I consistently gain a greater appreciate for music as a whole and the artists I enjoy from the insights given here. In a world of people bloviating boring music critic garbage to hear the sound of their own voices, SOP does the opposite and considers the listener and what they will take away from each episode and it is so appreciated. Every subject is handled masterfully and Reanna has brought a whole new depth to the podcast I really enjoy.

A must-listen for music lovers - As someone who’s always been fascinated by the intricate details of music, Switched on Pop has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. Nate and Charlie’s deep dive into the world of pop music is both informative and entertaining, as they break down everything from melody and harmony to production techniques and cultural influences. Their analysis of popular music is always insightful, and I’ve learned so much about the craft of songwriting and music production from listening to their show. What sets Switched on Pop apart, though, is the way they use music as a lens to explore broader cultural issues, whether it’s race, gender, or politics. Overall, I would highly recommend Switched on Pop to anyone who loves music and wants to deepen their understanding of how it works. Nate and Charlie are fantastic hosts, and their passion for music is infectious. Give it a listen – you won’t be disappointed!

My favorite podcast - I’ve been listening to Switched on Pop for perhaps years now and I’m so grateful it exists! It always lends a neat perspective and new lens to look at music, and I’ve learned a ton. I’m glad there are other nerds out there as excited about dissecting music as I am!! And I’m also gra’eful for the amount of Taylor Swift talk I get here. Plus, I always appreciate Charlie

A Top Tier Podcast! - I’ve been listening to this podcast for six years and I continue to be just as entertained, surprised and excited at what Charlie and Nate bring to the table each episode. This podcast illuminates new and different ways of listening to pop music at every level from the artistry, the songwriting, and the production. It’s perfectly paced, sprinkled with fun, and filled with insightful moments. As a songwriter, this podcast is priceless and I can’t recommend it enough!

Getting worse - I love this podcast and the topics are still great, but I wish Reanna the producer would be on less or dial it back a bit. Not everything needs to be a snarky joke! Her insights on the Paramore episode were great and interesting but the delivery was grating after a while. She just sounds so smug about everything? I’m not someone that gets annoyed easily by female hosts so it really kills me to feel this way!

Amazing! - I’ll be honest, prior to hearing her on Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, I hardly knew who Norah Jones was. But Conan’s admiration for her made me decide to check out this podcast. Most of what I listen to is history and science, so I didn’t anticipate being IMMEDIATELY enamored of her and her guests. Norah’s genuine love for he friends and what she does is heartwarming. Her voice is seductive (not necessarily in a sexual way) and she chooses such interesting guests. In a scant few episodes she had introduced me to musicians I may otherwise not have heard of, and given me a new appreciation of one I already liked (Mavis Staples).
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 13:01:38 GMT

Great Format - Playing Along has great potential to be a big hit as a pod. It reminds me of that great long-time NPR show Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland. That show ran for years, and she attracted guests such as Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Diana Krall, and…Norah Jones. Norah Jones has the personality to make the show a big success. I like her mix—if it continues past the early days—of stars and lesser known musicians of great talent. I think a stronger trend toward musicians who know the theories and techniques behind what they do will make for more interesting conversations. Not that they want to have a discussion on suspended ths, but sometimes understanding why a tune is powerful or catchy can be very interesting to the audience. In moderation. If you’re a fan of music and how or why it works, this is the show for you. I enjoy it.

What I’ve Been Waiting for in a Music Podcast - I’ve been listening to podcasts every day for the last years. This is the first time I’ve ever been moved to write a review. It is equally as powerful for music fans as it is for professional musicians like myself. The Mavis episode…I’ve heard Mavis interviewed many times over the last years. This is by far the best. The most personal, unguarded, uplifting and genuinely beautiful. I give much of the credit to Nora, whose musicianship is just so outstanding. Their mutual adoration for each other can be heard not just in the gushing words, but this effortless harmony connection. Both have such incredible harmony skills and a soul delivery of everything they sing. As an interviewer Nora is a natural. The conversation flows so well into the songs that the listener never touches the ground. And, when it was over I felt, “I just got to experience that.” So thank you, Nora. -LM

This podcast feels… - Like a hug from my Grandmother!! It makes me feel so happy. It’s like you’re getting to sit in a cozy studio and watch old friends reminisce and play together. Amazing. And Norah Jones always sound like a straight up angel singing! she makes me tear up and smile happy smiles at the same time. She’s a fantastic interviewer, funny and beyond charming!! We need more feel good like this in the world. Thank you.

This is confusing - See.. if you think about it. We just don’t count them. I get that there is A LOT of guns in our world. And maybe even more than we can count. But why do we even count types of guns instead of all. Plus there’s a lot of gun deaths. Which means cops will be needing to find a lot of information on what type, what type of bullet. And other things included. But my point is. If we have a lot of people and a lot of guns. Why can’t we count them?
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 03:34:20 GMT

Number of guns in America?? - You say we don’t have gun registration in the United States then why is it every Time I go my gun is registered with the state. My paper work alone on the purchase of the firearm - pages long but they did just switched to computers to make it quicker. The gun stores also have to make a call to the state to verify you and verify the gun that’s being sold to you. This is how they keep track just in case your gun is stolen and maybe found one day even though the numbers might be scratched out it could help just by the model caliber etc. also the numbers you give are going back one hundred years and then you call it flooding the market. How about breaking it down the real and honest way. How many of those guns were hunting guns?? How many were shot guns (bird hunting/ clay sport) the count you have is most likely correct coming from honest law abiding citizens that use them for hunting,sport and protection and do it legally. Everything that has been done in this country has been against the law abiding carriers. Go after the statistics just in one weekend alone in Chicago after a weekend of murders how many were legal holders how many were legal guns how many were carrying the proper magazine in them did the person carrying them have prior convictions (felonies). The laws we should concentrate on are if you get caught with a stolen or illegal firearm minimum years if it was involved in a murder years!! you have to go after the black market part of this because no matter what law you pass the criminal will always be able to get whatever they want, I have seen some of the recent shows with black market guns and they have stuff on the street that I have never even seen in any of the gun stores I have been in drum magazines which were ban years ago I think it was a rd clip for a Glock just crazy stuff. That stuff needs to come off the street but not the guy who is carrying totally by the book totally by the law. Next time put the percentage up on how many mass shootings were stopped by legal carriers. Check out how many mass shootings are in Chicago a year since they changed the number which dictates if it’s a mass sooting or not the last number I believe I heard was if they went by there definition they have one every weekend

Equal pay day, how about equal coverage - I just want to say, that the coverage of March madness was not at all equal. You mentioned when the men’s games begin, however, you said nothing about the women’s games. After the story, you mentioned that today is, “equal pay day”. How about also giving women equal coverage in your news stories. Next time if you’re going to spot light when the men play, also mention when the women start to play, especially with the amazing season that the women of the University of South Carolina have had. “The Gamecocks became just the fifteenth power six teams ever in the sport to enter the NCAA Tournament with an unblemished record.” I am not a fervent women’s college basketball fan, however, as a woman who supports all women’s sports, this is a pretty big deal, and you should have at least mentioned when the women’s tournament begins. Do better!

I appreciate how Apple News Today not only covers the biggest, most important headlines of the day, but also highlights interesting pieces of journalism that are not usually the forefront of news podcasts. I also appreciate how Shumita Basu speaks with the authors of the pieces and adds in their anecdotal input. The show is very well done

Climate change isn’t going away - do better! - I was a What A Day fan, but the last year or so I’ve been so incredibly disappointed, and honestly embarrassed, by their terrible ability to report on climate change. There have been a number of instances of inaccurate reporting on things related to climate — so blatantly misrepresented that it was clear they read one headline and that was it. I don’t know who does the prep/fact checking for What A Day but your climate info is not it. For example, a couple of months ago the show reported that American’s don’t care about climate change and that’s actually not true at all, not according to the data. And if you had even looked at the Yale Program on Climate Communications (one of the leading resources on how to talk about/educate on climate change) or really any other experts on the topic, you would have learned that. And now we’re learning that Crooked squashed Hot Take? I’m so disappointed and honestly just don’t get it. Climate change is only getting worse and it’s not going away. So why wouldn’t Crooked try to get better at reporting on it and even motivate individuals to act (like they have on so many other pressing issues)? Incredibly disappointing to learn about this side of their business. Truly thought they were the “good guys” if you will. But it seems like it is just all politics with this company.

Trash - This one actually provides more content: about minutes of ad per segment in their minute show! The show is only filled with ads and the audio engineer and one of the hosts Tre’vel likes to make it so that there’s loud pitch shrieking blasting on max volume between ad segments. The talking points are so painfully awful and biased to the point that as a liberal voter, I’d rather vote republican. Maybe then the what a day team can actually talk about real issues instead of a joke from a comedy set by a comedian.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 14:53:15 GMT

Could be better, like it once was. - The show does it’s job, presenting a short news summary in a format not burdened with appearing non-biased in comparison with right-wing propaganda masquerading as news. That means the facts presented are mostly reliable, but not all of the facts are presented, especially those damning to Democrats left of Sen. Joe Manchin. The delivery has suffered lately though; the collection of part-time hosts have neither the charm nor the comedic delivery of Gideon Resnik or Akilah Hughes, who made this show an audio-only near peer to popular late night news satire shows. Tre’vell is a cringe stereotype of a trans person who disservices their community by reinforcing its perceived over-representation and cliche attitude. They consistently offering nothing but the same stale “sassy” improvised takes, calling attention to themself and gender issues at the expense of sounding informed, intelligent, and witty when delivering on news topics which don’t concern the persecution of LGBT people. Still, to this team’s credit, they have taken a political stance left of their company owners, the headliners of Pod Save America, on labor issues. There’s usually an update every week on which unions are preparing to organize and agitate, while PSA hosts still spew cringe over their daily Starbucks habit, utterly deaf to the efforts of the unions. The owners also largely took the Biden administration’s message and tone in the railroad workers’ strike intervention, lending to suspicions of the kind of journalistic malpractice for which they excoriate others, while the team at WAD repeatedly drew attention to the fact that no media outlet put any pressure on the railroad’s ownership.

Grateful - Someplace that’s fun, informative and rational for my news. I used to watch Charlie Sykes on MSNBC. As a Democrat, I grew weary of TV news and the constant ‘sky is falling’ and outrage at everything. I wanted a more balanced debate and centered view. I found this podcast and now listen to many of the Bulwark podcasts instead of TV news. I often find great articles from guests and journalists that Charlie and crew follow.

Must Listen If You Care About Our Democracy - I’ve been a regular listener for awhile now. As a Centrist Democrat, I wasn’t sure if this would be the right podcast for me. It is! While I don’t always agree with the hosts, their sincere and heartfelt regard for what this country is truly about and why it’s worth fighting for is a hopeful beacon on the hill. Join! Join now! I have Bulwark and have learned much about our current state of politics and why it matters. My thanks to all the Bulwark staff for their courage. (P.S. They have fun, too! They’ll keep you on your toes. )

Love this show! Best political analysis of current issues l. - I subscribe to quite a few podcasts, but this is the podcast I listen to first. I might not agree with all of Charlie and Tim’s position, but I respect their intelligence, and TRUTHFULNESS! Charlie asks engaging questions, and really listens to his guests. Tim’s former job as a political consultant and communications director brings an interesting perspective to his analysis of current issues. Miller is fearless- I’m thinking of his Kari lake interview: scary and funny. I now subscribe to several Bulwark related podcasts- I have become a Charlie Sykes and Tim Miller junkie.

More of the same - I wish all deserving parties would be dragged equally. In the podcast I listened to Trump (who isn’t President anymore and has no bearing on what is happening right now) was mentioned about a hundred times. Biden was referenced twice. I am a Dem who is a moderate. This is “non-partisan” Libertarian point of view? I hear no difference between this and MSNBC. These guys sure sound smart though. If someone touts their own educational and professional experience you always know there is no bias in what they are about to say next.

My new favorite podcast! - I’ve known about Charlie Sykes for decades, given his long history on talk radio here in our mutual state of WI. We’ve been on opposite sides politically so admittedly I didn’t catch those days on talk radio. But I’ve been so very impressed with Charlie-first on MSNBC over the last few years and now with this podcast. I appreciate his perspective on various topics, even if or especially if it’s coming more from his Conservative, Republican POV. I consider him an important voice re: our threats to democracy, our concerns here in WI and so much more. I also enjoy the guests, as well as the banter between he and Tim Miller. Love the sense of humor and yes….the swearing!

Paul Ryan - That interview with Paul Ryan was so good! You did so good pressing him to answer tough questions. It was a fascinating interview. Well done! Now on the episode with Tim Miller on be happy make babies (fyi, I am childless, but due to a sexless marriage with a far right born again Christian with serious hang ups). I digress, anyhoo… I am hung up and worried about environmental collapse and a mass extinction. More so than losing our democracy. Tell Tim to try living in south Texas one summer. It’s hard not to worry about that, when you spend a lot of time outdoors.

Entertaining AND Enlightening - As a lifelong Democrat, I took my cues from one-sided news, and then nearly had a nervous break down when Trump ran and won. I have never been so happy to find a podcast like The Bulwark. I can see why Charlie was on the radio for as long as he was because he is amazingly up-to-date and smart. Listening to him has open my mind I’m well I doubt I will ever be a Republican. I am willing to engage when it comes to a difference of opinion.

I consider myself a progressive Democrat mostly, and I enjoy, listening to intelligent conversations between Charlie and his guests. Charlie is witty and knows his topics well. I enjoy listening to his debates such as the one with John Bolton, which was excellent! Excellent podcast overall and highly recommended.

Charlie works… - Hence, the high ratings. I know he takes appropriate vacations — but too many other moderate to left podcasts take weeks off. And phone one in once a week. They wait until a major political ‘news event’ to have a show. Not good enough. Meanwhile, maga/rw media trolls barely sleep. Sharks! Commentary magazine (for all their absurd focus/takes) works hard as well. Fix the business model and/or get the WS donors to pony up. Daily is necessary.

There’s no better word than naive. - Bolton is a megalomaniac. He takes joy in thinking he’s tougher and more realistic than everyone else. He thinks he couldn’t possibly be naive because he doesn’t care about collateral damage or non-American lives. But his thinking on so many issues seems simplistic, and dismissive of anything inconvenient to his argument. He doesn’t try to think from other people’s perspective. A true realist would never write in a non-competitive candidate, you chose the less bad option on the menu. He is a naive emotional-adolescent.

Rick Wilson interview - This was fascinating. I am a Democrat who has recently discovered your podcast, and I always learn so much. Would love to hear more of you and Rick Wilson together. I once voted for Republicans when it meant voting for women (Elizabeth Dole and Sue Myrick). Now the sheer loathsomeness of so many Republicans makes me wonder how anyone votes for them. If anybody can explain it, I want to know more.

Paul Ryan is only fooling himself! - This was a good interview and much needed. Paul Ryan is a smooth talker but you held the line with him. He wants it both ways with Fox News. He has done nothing to save the Republican Party from the Fox propaganda machine and Trump but he seeks our gratitude. He’s as much a problem as Trump. He’s willing to sacrifice our democracy for his tax cuts and his agenda. Nothing else matters to him.

Always Interesting - I really like Charlie. I started listening because of the whole “ Never Trump” thing. I don’t agree with him on some things but common sense and decency are the threads that link Charlie and most of his guests to my way of looking at things. I like Will Saletan on Mondays and adore Tim Miller on many Fridays. I just finished listening to the interview with Jennifer Senior and I thought it was great. It was two smart, charming people talking about some issues that matter even if they aren’t at the top of the news feeds. Hopefully, some day, we’ll get to where the minority party is the decent, loyal opposition but until then Charlie Sykes is the man.

Learn a lot listening - Well I actually search out this podcast especially to listen to Tim Miller. Learn from him. Sarah Longfellow (sp?) also. Charlie Sykes has the best podcast voice on the internet. But I get a bit -just a bit - put off in that it seems like, Mr. Sykes, does not really understand how womens’ rights are under attack and how outrageous that is. All the hosts and guests are worth listening to and I thank them each. Must be a LOT of work to put out such high caliber, casual-seeming, excellent conversations every day .

Paul Ryan is a feud - He’s been talking about entitlement programs going broke for years… Its not happening. Trump was the worst at increasing the debt for the benefit of the rich.. And his buddy McCarthy is a spineless idiot! And make no mistake about it - the false equivalency that the digital age has brought about crazy Democrat and Republican is a joke! There is absolutely no equivalence between the nut case Marjorie Taylor Green, the freak Paul Gozar or dirtbag Matt Gaetz and someone like AOC!!! Please! All the Trump . people are freaks as is the lying, seditious conman Trump!

Shocked by March episode - This was not a journalistic political commentary and/or analysis. It was a display of resentful judgement on the part of Washington D.C.’s residents and statehood supporters that totally lacked impartiality. I support Washington D.C’s statehood claim, but the comments made in this episode were beyond professionalism. I was shocked by the bias in the title and then in the entire segment. Why would one assume that President Biden’s decision was for political gain? The commentators themselves mention how Joe Biden’s decision was consistent with a position and beliefs he has held for decades. So, why would it not have been guided by principles, precisely? In fact, it seems to me that two principles - Washington D.C.’s residents right to safety and protection, and the right if these residents to self-governance - were in conflict here. The fact that one won over the other (a fact that clearly did not please the presenters) far from warrants accusations of political calculations on the part of Joe Biden, and potentially other democrats. A jewel from today’s show: “Democratic voters are less left than a lot of people think they are. They want their community to be safe from crime just like everybody else.” This was supposed to be a condemnation from the speaker’s part. Do you hear yourself? Who doesn’t want to be safe? I am very much on the left, socially and economically, but to me this entire episode was appalling. I felt I was hearing bitter citizens airing their grievances as D.C.’s residents rather than professional political commentators. This is not what I expect from public radio. I would provide two suggestions: - Advocate and lobby for D.C.’s statehood. I entirely support this, it would only be fair - but outside of this platform, on your own time, and in an other capacity. Not in one where you are supposed to maintain a minimum of professional impartiality. - if two points in an otherwise good law are controversial (and I do find these points problematic), change them! And the law will pass.

Plus subscriptions frustrating - I’ve always enjoyed this podcast, but the introduction of the paid plus subscriptions was frustrating. I understand that people need to keep businesses afloat, but what is happening to my contributions to NPR? I don’t feel that it is right for people already choosing to contribute to NPR not being able access to these subscriptions or then feeling guilted that they have to give more to be granted content. It seems to me that NPR has become more of a cash grab recently and it is definitely making it frustrating for us long time listeners and supporters.

Good overall - Susan Davis gets stuff wrong, she tried to frame the lab leak theory as some kind of right vs left issue and claimed scientists dismissed it out of hand. The scientific community has never dismissed it, and this is only a political issue because people like her are dragging it through that lens. NPR is supposed to be better. Most of the journalists are better, though, hence the high review.

A true mixed bag - I’m a fellow populist and I love the domestic discussions but the hosts talk about foreign policy it’s clear they know nothing they didn’t learn from Glenn Greenwald. The recent discussion about Ukraine has been ahistorical and knee jerk. In spite of being wrong over and over they never question the premises they put forward. I also could live without the ageism by Saajar who seems to think everyone over is an elderly idiot. Best labor coverage by a non labor podcast.which I love

Stretched middle. Yuck. - Was a big fan of this pod because I’m part of the “common sense” political party (that’s what I call being able to see both sides of an argument) and this show offered that. However, it continues to get pulled in a specific direction, further from the middle, with each guest and Krystal getting emotional everytime she doesn’t like the convo and can never “lose” a point. Saagar is a true professional and makes valid points on both sides which I can learn and appreciate. Counter points is pure trash. Sometimes don’t listen during the week because I don’t want to get lost in that garbage. Saagar- start your own pod with guests of you choice from both sides. Let K and counterpoints turn into every other outlet.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 17:00:58 GMT

Hard Pass- Not balanced at all - This was a good podcast at the beginning. It is billed as a balanced discussion between a center left and center right hosts. Could not be farther from the truth. The only thing that they cover with any competency is the media and how terrible the mainstream media is. This is their lane, IMO. Just skip over the economic and financial sections. They need to take a couple classes at the local community college to get a basic understanding of how financial markets and the economy works. Whenever a Democrat or left leaning public figure does something terrible Krystal must always bring up some Republican that did something “similar” and completely shift the focus away from the original person. Krystal’s overriding take is that unions will solve all the ills of the country. Just stop. She is just a far left lackey for the union industrial complex. Absolutely unbearable at this point. And Saagar is just a lap dog for whatever Krystal believes. Saagar please stand up for yourself. All the sources and guests are from far left outlets- maybe have a conservative guest once a month to balance out the groupthink. I was hoping for some different perspective with this but it’s just a far left Bernie Sanders campaign flyer dressed up as a podcast.

Hmm - Let me start by telling you how much I love this show. It’s refreshing to see people from across the aisle discussing their different opinions. But as the show has progressed it seems like they sort of keep repeating themselves. Also I realised that when they talk about topics that I am an expert on like Energy, Supply Chain etc that they are not experts at all and that sometimes they too have a flawed understanding of how things work. But I hope that they continue to have conversations with people who are experts and learn and grow. I don’t watch CNN and Fox News because I don’t care about what they have to say, but unfortunately it seems like the host don’t miss an opportunity to diss on MSM, they need to grow out of the mindset that anyone who listens to this show actually cares about MSNBC, CNN and Fox. PS: Ryan is Fantastic!!

Sound levels a bit low recently - I love this show, stars! However, as of late your sound levels have been a bit low. I have to boost the volume to hear you at an audible level as of late. I’ve tested out the levels of other podcasts and it’s defiantly this show which has dropped off sound level wise. Still giving a star rating though because breaking points is providing a very important public service at the moment. Thank you very much! Just boost the sound levels a bit;)

BLM - Pay your own reparations! - This is one of the few sources where I listen to each podcast regularly and repeatedly… listen to drink in the wisdom of VDH and history! So glad he willingly and freely shares with the world, for those who are willing to keep learning! How about asking BLM and all their billions of dollars to PAY REPARATIONS to their own? Simple. Matter settled. And, about Jack Fowler, who I’m sure is a fine individual, is a long-winded, lousy interviewer. Please have him step aside and let VDH have his own show…!

All episodes, opening tune - Thank you for the “Gary Owen” march. My father was a First Cavalry Division officer in WWII. This is the preferred march for the First Cavalry, not “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.” I can almost see my dad astride a beautiful horse, marching to this song. We were at Ft. Bliss for a couple of years before the division deployed. They had dismounted and transitioned to the Jeep before the left.

Victor & Jack please keep the Gary O. . - Victor my year old Irish Nana originally from Cork loves your show and ask’s will you please keep the Gary-O to open the show. It was a favorite of her husband. My late Grandfather Simon Keogh. Growing up I remember watching the John Wayne movies with him like Fort Apache with Henry Fonda and Shirly Temple as well as She wore a yellow ribbon. The Gary-O was commonly played during those movies as I recall. My Grandpa Simon would do his best at an Irish jig whenever the song was played. My Irish Nana Teresa would tell him to sit down or she would get the Shillelagh. They were great times I wish I had back. Please keep the Gary-O going for my Irish Nana’s memories much appreciated Micheal C. Dorchester Ma.

Ex Californians listens to VDH - My husband and I love listening to you Victor and to the host Jack! We are currently driving back to San Diego from our home in Boise , Idaho. We left California in to a better life in Idaho. Unfortunately of my grown children still live in California , but I don’t see they can have any kind of life there with the costs of living. Two children moved with us and after a bit of a transition , they are moving forward in life in Idaho. My son lost two years of college because he could not do the online Calif college during Covid . In Idaho, he started college again after a year of transition and working. Now he is back on track with his degree. I’m so glad we left, although California still is taking our taxes even in Idaho. Soon we will be totally free! I sure hope Fauci is made accountable for his misguided and maybe even evil deeds. I hold him responsible for how our government killed the economy and set up the Covid response. I also hold Mike Pence and Trump totally responsible too. I won’t vote for Trump again because of it. I’m hopeful that truth will prevail and justice is served to those responsible for the Wuhan virus! Great podcast Victor! Your so educated but so down to earth and a real person like us!! God Bless you and your family!

Hope - Thank you for doing what you do. It is hard to find anyone with the depth of knowledge you have who can communicate it on a level anyone can understand. From the farm to the ivory tower, you see and tell us what is there. I have been listening to this show for more than a year but reading and watching you elsewhere for many years, including taking your course at Hillsdale’s online learning. We are about the same age and I love hearing how you grew up since I was stuck in central Pennsylvania being culturally deprived. You are a voice of sanity in this chaotic world.

Not a review - Not a review. I saw on Twitter that except for murder and rape, white people commit more crime in every other class of crime than do black people. I think it would be interesting and instructive if Victor could analyze and discuss this. Of course this would need to be analyzed on a per capital basis since white people are five times more than blacks in this country. But I suspect that white collar crime is perpetrated much more often by white people, for obvious reasons. I think this is something that would be of interest to most listeners. I’d like to comment on the Roger Kimball episode. I listen to Victor daily and enjoy. But a complaint I have is that he often interrupts. He does this with the usual hosts but today he did this often with the guest. And this Roger guy seemed to have a lot to say. And he spends a lot of time either ) repeating over and over about democrats personal failings (too repetitive) and ) saying that he knows someone (self aggrandizement. Which he does not need to do).

Get off my lawn! - Jack Fowler swears that nearly all of VDH’s ratings for this podcast are five stars and maybe Hanson believes it. Objectively, however, saying this is a three star podcast would be overly generous. As a fellow Californian I appreciate many of Hanson’s gripes about the way the state is run. Same for the way the federal government operates. But Hanson seems unable to contribute anything to the public conversation around the ills that face the nation beyond the vitriol he spews at what he, without creativity, appears only able to refer to as the “woke left”. Who caused this inflation? The woke left! Crimes up? Woke left. Dirty streets? You guessed it. The “workers”. My recommendation to make this a better podcast? Try using your extensive education and experience to put forward some suggestions for how to resolve problems rather than just throwing around accusations at those you perceive as the “other”. Conservatives need intelligent comementators to engage in creative solutions, not ones that just behave like grumpy, barking old dogs.

I enjoy the history sessions! - Professor Hanson, fantastic podcast particularity when you share on the the wars ours country has been involved in, especially the civil war and the strategy of the various battles. One part of our history that is very intriguing AND MISSING that would be great to hear about is the period AFTER the civil war- the Indian wars - the generals involved as well as the Indian Chiefs - and the push to settle the west. I am currently reading several books on this subject and find this part of our history absolutely fascinating. There is little to anything taught on this subject. Would you be able to share your thoughts on this part of our history as well? I will continue to listen regardless. Tom in Pittsburgh PA

Capitol Tresspassomg - Ok, now you've pssed me off, Sami & VDH! I've been to DC over a dozen times, about / on business the other half as a tourist. I've never gone into the Capitol (nor the White House) (Too many facinating museums, monuments and similar sites (e.g. the Vietnam Memorial. But I'm stunned at your presumption that all those people in the capitol knew they were there illegally! WHY WOULD THEY??? ISN'T IT CALLED THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE??? I get it that those that saw the violence (many areas had NONE) But even in those areas, if I poked my head in, saw people walking peacefully within the velvet ropes while uniformed officers looked on (Many of Tucker's sceenes were such!) I'd have said it's obviously ok, and enter thinking I could catch a piece of history and help stop any violence should it show it's head again.

Once I heard victor David Hanson promote round up I can no longer listen. - Victor David Hanson I would suggest that you do your research in regards to Glysophates and ROUND UP. I was sorry to hear that you are putting ROUND UP on your food. I think you need to do some more research. Anyone that would put ROUND UP on their food in this day and age with all the information that we have regardless of how it’s been suppressed or censored. Is misguided.

Great show - Love the show - I particularly like some of the digressions about the classical world, languages, history, etc. Heck, the discussions about farming are really interesting-didn’t see that coming. I also like the informal format, and the go between b/t VDH and Fowler. Persian & Herodotus talk was great- I like the political content, but the history stuff as a change up is really really good. Wow, re: ruptured appendix story. Great episode.

Truth - I admire people who tell the truth publicly especially after dealing with psychopathic narcissists , exposing their vulnerability and having fallen under the influence until things get too painful to live a false truth and tell their own . I respected the conversation between Michael and Stormy. I’m easily triggered bc I was married for years to someone who weeks before the election told me a in a moment of honesty that warned me for the last time before I finally told my own truth, the he was “ just like Donald Trump”. It took about months , after DT won the presidency to be done wanting things to work out w my husband and year total relationship, since I was . So I am always deeply moved to know there are others out there who have experienced the kind of spell or whatever it is that takes them out of their hearts , minds and body signals that something is terribly wrong . Thank you for this conversation. Ever since you Michael , testified in front of Congress , I have been open to believing you. It was not hard this whole time . Now I can say I trust that you say what you mean and mean what you say. I hope you and Stormy fully recover and are able to build good lives and integrate the damage done by someone who has no conscience but are so good at grooming. Thank you and my wishes to be well to you both and your family and friends too.

I couldn’t give you and a half stars. - So I gave you the benefit of the doubt. I’m docking you half a star for working for Trump. I’ve despised the guy since he was involved with the USFL. I think I’m one of two people to have actually read Art of the Deal, the author being the other one. Trump has “written” more books than he has read. I used to do corporate training for LG in Seoul in the s. LG wanted me to use Art of the Deal as a textbook for a negotiation seminar. On the first day, my students, all Korean engineers, sat in front of me with their copies of Art of the Steal (Mein Drumpf) in front of them. I held my copy of the book aloft, right side up mind you, and said, “We will NOT be using this book” as I dropped it into a waste paper basket. They gasped. LG wanted to fire me. They didn’t. Unwitting people around the world think he’s a successful business man. Anyway, you’ve done the time and you’re doing the work. I happen to like your tone, even if it’s a bit hard on the ears through headphones. Continue to bring it! Have you read it?

Why sound frantic when we know you can sound logical? - The information herein is helpful and often good but the delivery, something rather like a lunatic, seems incredibly unnecessary. Wondering who told Michael this would get him more viewers? It is a relief when half the podcast is an interview with another person because Michael talks normally. Someone please tell him that he does not have to sound like Fox News to get followers.

Oompa Loompa Barr - Bill Maher is a Peter Thiel acolyte of neo-libertarianism. Maher also smoothly repeats PRC’s messages, i.e. China is dominating the US, proving the US is weak - or in terminal decline. It’s all a lie. Bill Barr & his ilk have interests that align w/ the likes of Peter Thiel. Bill Maher’s softball questions of Oompa Loompa aren’t free passes, as Snell said, but right-wing alignment.

Ok so we are at a point of time (as compared to Nixon)where maybe, as these little pieces are leaking(fox News lying) and some republicans not backing him for the election.. I think doj maybe waiting to cushion the maga followers. With all information at our fingertips at all times? Not like with Nixon, where we were depended on the media.. all I have to say is.. either or, indictments happen or don’t there will be a uprising. Our mission should be to help the maga people after they start to question tfg and his lies. I hope they can see(soon) the truth.

Great balance - Ive listened to many F podcasts over the years. Some are too technical and boring; some presenters are clearly F novices or doing it solely because they’re paid to. This podcast is clearly done by actual enthusiasts. The group has found a great balance in content, style, and entertainment. I loved that their recent episode covered the “dark” or “dirty” money aspect of F, which is not discussed enough but incredibly important. I look forward to listening to many more!

Elitist F Podcast - Good content, but the show is basically ruined by their uneducated views on culture and world issues. In a recent episode they discussed the human rights issues in Saudi Ariabia and the Middle East at large without even mentioning the actual issue at hand: theology. The Middle East is Islamic and these hosts, like so many cultural elites, fail to realize theology matters. They are upset the Middle East practices what it believes. I agree there are issues that are fundamental human rights violations, but discuss them accurately, not from “wokeness.”

Youth and Enthusiasm trump skill and experience - The criticism about little substance and analysis is true, but I don’t think that’s what this podcast is about. The host are basically repeating what others have said while recapping the events of the race in the most elementary way. You’re not going to learn much here. But they all present as genuine and interested in the sport and are making the most of it. I think it’s a great supplement to the hard-hitting, analytical coverage found elsewhere. Nolan is a gem and does a great job moderating the youthful energy of the other hosts to level an old fart like myself can handle. The other hosts are kind of a trip and sometimes seem like they forget other people are listening, which I don’t think is a bad thing. I think they have all of the enthusiasm and interest to grow into seasoned pros in short time. I’m enjoying the early days of the show and planning on checking in (once I’ve exhausted all of the stalwarts of F.) I’m sure in time they’ll find their own space.

Since loosing Arizona I lost respect for Charlie - I used to really enjoy Charlie Kirks show, I would listen most days and feel like I got a somewhat unique perspective from him. However, after the election and the humiliating loss in Arizona…I just feel like I can’t respect Charlie and what he says the way I used to. His words ring hollow and uninteresting, he just kind of feels like a looser to me now and the things he say don’t carry the same weight that they used to. Upon reflection, I think he’s coming out with too much content. I would recommend you put out less hours per day, that way the things you do say will be more impactful. You also need a win to get back some credibility!

From current events to health to true crime and so much more, I love the variety of topics this show covers.

I stated, I wasn’t sure if they didn’t like God, Oklahoma or country music, but FB no longer met my standards & I canceled them! I am truly a nobody. My profile was Republican & Christian.

Why would you not hold him accountable on that? I used to be a Crowder fan and just knew you were going to get his entire side of the story and bring me back as a fan. Megyn did not even do that. So disappointed and still “Team Daily Wire”.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 21:05:14 GMT

The truth is worth it - I’m surprised Megyn isn’t thrilled at the prospect of getting to the complete truth about January . More than thing can be true at the same time. Question, question, question—especially if it concerns a narrative promoted by the Dems. and the main stream media. And what a curiosity that so many republicans are nervous. Wish Paul Harvey was still around to reveal “the rest of the story”. Come on Megyn—your reluctance is a sad look when you’ve been such a bulldog in the past. Be strong, the good guys need your talent.

UK authoritarianism - Love your podcasts Megyn! You’re a gifted interviewer. Program suggestion: there are increasing examples of growing Orwellian authoritarianism happening in the UK. Woman arrested for silent prayer outside an abortion clinic, sidewalk preacher prosecuted for misgendering, student jailed and kicked out of college for racist tweets while drunk, the list goes on. They don’t have constitutional freedom of speech but what happens there eventually makes its way to our shores.

Momma Bear - Megyn! I absolutely LOVE your show! I listen every single day, sometimes I re-listen to episodes! Love that you are fair, balanced and not afraid to address any topic! I must be like the only person in the world who didn’t know who you are but I discovered you because you were on the Relatable Podcast. I know you just met Margot Robbie and I would actually love to hear the story straight from you! Anyway, THANK YOU for doing what you do! I am such a fan!

Fox/Dominion - Not sure that I understand a guy you had on for this lawsuit. It was pretty clear that he was on to disparage Fox. I stopped watching Fox after the election when I knew that they were compromised. However, this guy that you have on has a clear agenda to try to despair them even more and to try and make them lose more viewers. His bias was glaringly obvious. In fact, I’d say he was a leftist. The only reason I can come up with is that you have a bone to pick with Fox still and this was your only legitimate way of doing it. I find it funny how they made you what you are and you trying desperately to distance yourself from it like you were never part of it. Its sad as I like your podcast, but this was so blatantly obvious. You’re a disappointment.

Why no J? - I very much like the podcast, however on the episode today (/) with Josh Hawley you discussed the tier justice system comparing BLM being paid off to SWAT teams for pro life protesters. Josh briefly mentioned the J political prisoners who have been charged with misdemeanors, jailed for years in solitary and denied due process. How can that not be discussed as a blatant example of how our government has been weaponized? That comparison to BLM is beyond stark.

Lacking certain amount of understanding - The last several years I have on and off listened to Allie’s podcast. I have often agreed with her views & enjoyed her commentary. Her recent continuous attacks on my faith however have caused me to realize her podcast probably isn’t so much for me. At first I was angry and defensive because of blatant inaccuracies presented. Now my feelings are more of disappointment. As a member of Jesus Christ’s restored Church I can tell you that: We love and revere the New Testament. We love and revere the Old Testament. We love and revere the Book of Mormon as another testament of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is impossible to doubt our belief in Jesus Christ as God, His divinity, and our need for His grace if you would read it. The Book of Mormon is meant to be an addition to the Holy writ, not a substitute for it. It supports and clarifies the gospel as presented in the Bible, it does not replace the Bible. (Ezekiel :) We believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost (they make up the Godhead. One in purpose, three distinct personages). Divine investiture of authority is something you may want to learn about. It is incredibly interesting to me that the word ‘Trinity’ is found nowhere in the New Testament. It is the term & idea by which some early Christians made sense of and interpreted scripture. John Calvin was influential in having someone killed for heresy for having a different interpretation than him. Sounds like some of that pride and animosity has been passed down through his creed. I am grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ as found in the scriptures. I am grateful for His church which I believe has been restored to the earth, which is the vehicle through which I have come to know and love my Savior & Redeemer, my God and my King. I know that it is only through Him that I have any hope, and I am absolutely nothing and less than the dust without Him. My hope is that you may listen to understand. Remember what the Savior said about the mote & the beam. Remember what He said about passing judgement on others “for with that same judgement ye shall be judged”. Remember what He said about forbidding “him not, for he that is not against us is for us” and “by their fruits ye shall know them.” Remember what He said about “other sheep I have which are not of this fold.” He is a perfect God of love, Grace, mercy and justice. Let us (myself included) try to be more like Him. Let’s link arms in our love for Christ instead of perpetuating contention & bigotry.

For the every day gal! - I consider myself a very average person of average intelligence and below average attention span. I care moderately about most things going on in the world of politics and Christianity so I don’t want to listen to an entire minute breakdown of each topic. Allie discusses topics succinctly and I really appreciate her perspective. She breaks things down just deep enough & often gives definitions to what she’s referencing— all things I need to really understand. I listen to her during my workouts at the gym, - minutes and it makes the time fly.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 17:46:24 GMT

Podcast and YouTube - I appreciate Allie’s boldness and how she will tackle any topic and isn’t afraid to speak out. I admire her so much a friend of mine recommended her to me. So now I will do likewise I percent recommend Allie and anything she’s involved in. Hope to meet her one day. I’m percent In her corner. To a true believer who wants the truth and no sugar coating Allie is the answer. Thank you Allie. I look forward to many more shows. PS I have my mother watching Allie with me on our YouTube on Roku. God Bless You all!! And you as well Allie

Favorite podcast - I have been watching/listening to Allie since . She is incredible! She is inquisitive, thoughtful, and very eloquent. Every topic that is discussed has her entire hard work put into it. It is sometimes so isolating to be a young conservative Christian on a college campus. Allie helps to make me feel not as alone. She is definitely the type of person we should all look up to instead of the people that main stream media put up on pedestals.

Re: TGC Article - I agree with you that the reaction to the TGC article on sex was completely overblown; the sentiments relayed in the article nowhere near warrant a resignation or an apology. However, making a blanket statement about the people who critiqued the article was a little too far. The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Gregoire is an incredible book and she’s nowhere near being a feminist activist. She actually presents a really honoring view of men and women, and I believe is seeking to reform the way that topic has so often been posed in the evangelical world (ie, only a male need and a dutiful obligation for a wife). Give it a read! You might enjoy it!

Allie is such an encouragement - I just started listening to Allie in the summer of and have been so encouraged hearing her bring biblical truth current events consistently. She doesn’t relent on objective truth to appease liberals. I can always count on Allie for perspective I can trust because her worldview is unashamedly Christ-centered. She really is relatable, too! I feel like most women I know do not hold the same beliefs as I do politically and culturally, but I’ve never disagreed with any of Allie’s perspectives. relatable
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 20:46:26 GMT

Favorite Podcast - I look forward to each new episode. I’m a conservative minority woman living in southern California. It’s nice to know there are still folks out there with common sense. I rely on podcasts like Allie’s for news and pop culture updates, since most mainstream media outlets can’t be trusted these days. I appreciate all the thoughtfulness and effort put into these podcasts not only by Allie, but her staff as well. Great work and God speed!
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 20:00:09 GMT

Great Commentaries & Talks - Great commentaries on current day issues from a conservative, reformed Biblical standpoint. Allie Beth exposes woke culture for what it is. She is excellent at articulating well thought out arguments. I especially appreciate how she consistently ties in the gospel to her talks. We are completely dead in our sin and without any hope for deliverance except through salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ’s death on the cross and resurrection to free us from our bondage to sin. Praise God that we can have new life in Him!

Repeater not Reporter - . The financials got in because the defense attorney asked a witness if he could imagine any circumstances that would lead Alex to kill Paul and Maggie transforming said witness into a character witness and opening the door for the prosecution to use the financial crimes. . Yes he needs to be tried for the financial crimes. Listen to Murdaugh Murders Podcast. They have feet on the ground investigative reporting over the last years. They layout why Alex, Corey, and Russel could not have pulled off the financial crimes alone. Judge Carmen Mullin at best showed poor judgement and favoritism towards her friend Alex in the settlement for Gloria Satterfield’s death. She is not alone. This needs to be dissected. Russel’s Banks’s board…Alexes colleagues… Law enforcement… coroner- how did Gloria get “natural causes “ listed on death certificate??? Sooooooooo much more!

Huge amount of ads - Okay podcast but there are at least minutes straight of ads at the beginning and then sometimes MINUTES worth of ads at the end. Totally insane! Yes, I use the fast forward button, but if you’re multi tasking and can’t get to your phone to skip the ads, you are literally just stuck there listening to minutes of ads and it’s frequently the same sec ad over and over again.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 21:55:43 GMT

No way to play the trail parts in order - There is no way to play the trial parts in order because of the way that they are uploaded. So at the end of each episode you have to go back to the main page, expand the episode list, scroll to try to find the episode and then play episode. Also pronouncing the names correctly as well as posting episodes in the right order seems to be the very least that could be done. Also there has been lots of commentary that has errors and haven’t been corrected

Thanks for the courtroom coverage!!! - I don’t have time to watch the courtroom drama, but I can listen throughout the day so I appreciate the coverage!! The ads aren’t a big deal because the fast forward buttons are there for a reason, thank goodness! So far, the only thing I’ve noticed that hasn’t been fixed yet is Day coverage hasn’t been fixed. Each part is the same thing over and over again except Part and a few minutes of Part , I think it is? The other parts are bits and pieces of Part . Can someone fix this, please? Thanks!!
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 16:38:57 GMT

- I like the quick updates throughout the day. I like hearing full testimony episodes when I have the time as well. Those two things make this a good choice for listening. I wish the host would pronounce Har-poot-lee-enne correctly and consistently(not because I believe the man, I do appreciate proper name pronunciation). As for Alec/Alex even the actual guy pronounces his own name differently depending on who he is speaking with so that’s just a given with the guilty dude’s name. The same ad plays numerous times in a row which can be annoying. Although, that does make it easier to skip over so I understand the decision. Still stars because I’m not an unreasonable person.

Biased - I feel like deuxmoi has been influenced by the recent uptick in blind item popularity and completely has broken that fourth wall, in a bad way. Blind items and PR are never supposed to intersect and deuxmoi being so popular lets everything flood through and that is not how blind item culture should work. Blind items should be monitored, not every one that comes through ending up on instagram.

Guests live under a rock - Why don’t the guest commentators know anything about pop culture or celebrities? If you haven’t heard of White Lotus, one of the biggest shows of the last year, then I’m fairly certain you shouldn’t be booked on a podcast about pop culture….The amount of explanation required to get these people up to speed is repetitive and takes away from the quality of the podcast.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 16:51:01 GMT

Trash talking - I am all for who is dating who and upcoming projects celebs are working on but this podcast is just her reporting non confirmed allegations or rumors that she just hints at every episode (and some of them I just don't think she should bring up if she doesn't think it's appropriate to name who...obviously we shouldn't know these things and neither should you).Why even read it then? She rarely confirms things and just says she'll tell her podcast guest later. So you aren't really learning anything, and when you do it's her sharing interactions normies have with celebs and basing who they are as a person on - run ins. Its not normalizing celebs like she says it is, it's trash talking people on what could have been a bad day or a bad week. Heaven forbid if someone talked about my low days. The more I listen the more I just feel the ick at being part of the problem. It is character assassination for a lot of people and I'm truly shocked she works her way around not getting sued.

Get Better Guests - Was so excited to listen for the first time as I am a fan of Deux Moi’s IG and I was so ready to sink my teeth into the latest Selena and Justin pod episode but this Kel Lowery girl was a horrible guest co-host. Like a waste of airtime. It was like talking to my grandma or auntie about modern pop culture - just completely out of touch. So bad - ruined it for me. Like, girl, not you referencing People’s mag about friendship status of Emma Stone and AG?? Was the issue you were looking at published in ? Living under a rock indeed.

Fascinating, but.... - I've always found this subculture of the Catholic Church fascinating. In fact, it renews my faith in someways. There's one thing that can turn me off of a podcast and it's the lack of continuity . When I first started listening, I remember it being announced that every Sunday they would release a new episode. but quickly, that turned into it coming out on Monday and then on Tuesday and now in week five, it's Wednesday and there's no new episode. Write them and release them whenever you want, but if you're going to keep an audience, schedule is key. There have been countless podcasts that I really enjoyed, but they quickly fell off of a schedule, and then they quickly fell off the face of the Earth. Especially, when it's the kind of show where each esisode follows into the next . Maybe a lot of creators don't really come in to anything with their whole heart these days, but if there's one way to lose an audience ,sporadic uploading it. Not only because the audience loses interest but, because the algorithm pushes it way down. I know the podcasts at the top of my episode list or suggested lists, are those with regular content . anyway, I hope it gets fixed. I enjoy the show

It’s not updated weekly - The episodes come out biweekly more often than weekly. I have mixed emotional about this podcast but I enjoy Fr. Martins which is why I still listen. The dramatization of the actual events of each case I could live without but the stories themselves are very interesting to listen to. I would have given it stars in it were Fr. Martins actually telling the events of each case himself and explaining them more in depths.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 13:39:04 GMT

Truly Frightening Stuff - These re-enactments of Fr. Martins’ real life encounters with fallen angels are well done and truly terrifying, especially if you’re ever actually encountered these malevolent beings yourself. Listening to this should strongly encourage people to never open the door to that dark world because you never know who or what my happen to be passing by at that moment that you are letting in and thereby giving the right to inhabit your life. Lord have mercy (x)!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 10:42:54 GMT

Religious Propaganda - At first I thought this podcast was campy with the re-enactments and informational, for someone like me who isn’t religious or a believer in god or at least any one god. So it was interesting from that perspective. As soon as the priest basically said the demon has more respect than people who don’t believe in Jesus Christ, I’m out. Shaming people for not having the same beliefs as you doesn’t feel very godly. If you can get past all the attempts to spread the good word, then maybe you’ll like this. But I don’t think it’s a good podcast.

Excellent and Reverent! - Love this podcast! From a story telling perspective, it is excellent! Awesome voice acting, cool surround sound, and compelling stories! Hosts do an amazing job of melding the heavy subject of spiritual warfare with on the nose and tasteful jokes and puns! From a spiritual warfare perspective, this is an excellent podcast to increase awareness of the constant spiritual warfare that we are all in the trenches of. They deftly explore Catholic theology in a respectful manner, while also leaving the door open for discourse with our Protestant brothers and sisters who may differ in opinion on some theological matters. Great listen!
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 18:36:11 GMT

Fantastic! - Gotta hand it to the Catholics: Flawlessly produced, stories are brought to life and retold in a way that always gives me chills. Informative, theologically accurate edifying, and they answer the right questions just when I’m thinking them and I always leave the episode grateful for the power in His Name. I binged it all in a week and I don’t recommend listening to them in the dark but… I also do. Thanks for reminding us the dangers of evil and it’s reality. Thank you Father Martins!!
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 14:22:12 GMT

Awesome podcast! Amazing content and production! - This is an amazing podcast that gives a lot of good information on exorcism and what ultimately leads people to being afflicted by the enemy. This information is so very important, because spiritual warfare is not a topic that is often discussed in the church. So people often get an incorrect picture from the secular media. As a Christian, I’ve had to deal with a lot of demonic harassment, and even possession a few times within people close to me. True followers of Jesus have authority over the enemy being anointed by the blood of Jesus Christ (Luke : (KJV) Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you). For anyone thinking they may be afflicted by the enemy, follow Ephesians : and putting on the “whole armor of God”. Specifically repenting of your sins to God and asking for His help in figuring out why the enemy has a right to be present. Then being sanctified by standing with God, take the fight to the enemy and rebuke the enemy out loud and directly! In addition to this podcast, I’d recommend looking into Neil Anderson, Russ Dizdar, and William Schnoebelen for more information on Spiritual Warfare.

EXCELLENT!! - I learned about Father Carlos Martin’s work after hearing an interview with him…. Episode (February ) was my first and I was blown away…. I have since listened to every episode and in spite of being Jewish, believe that this podcast has helped me better prioritize my relationship with God and understand many current world events….. I have also shared this series with friends and family members who represent a wide variety of religious traditions…. Listen and learn; you won’t go wrong!!

Amazing. Everyone should listen - Maybe not kids but definitely any adult Christian or non should listen to this. It shows you the power of Christianity and honestly brings me closer to God , the dark side is very real and Jesus is the only one who can conquer it. I feel like this is a very powerful tool to help non believers see. Great podcast. I’m a non catholic Christian but still can very much appreciate this!!!

YES! YES! YES! This is truly INCREDIBLE!!!! - These guys REALLY know how to make a captivating podcast! If you like scary, creepy, unnerving, eery, and spine-tingling facts and accounts about the invisible reality complete with D audio experiences (that sound like you are in the room with the possessed), this podcast is for YOU! Now be warned! Demons use foul language, so avoid showing to younger children. I recommend sound-canceling headphones with surround sound. Or a Dolby Atmos setup, if you own one. I rate this stars! Thank you SO much for making this podcast!

Okay - Overall interesting and worth the listen as someone with a paranormal curiosity. Heavy with the Catholic doctrine/dogma, but if you’re able to tease through the tangles of that paradigm and framing, you may find some genuine spiritual insight. Some of the re-enactments are decent, most are too long, and a few were distractingly bad. Also, the episodes are too short and it feels artificially drawn out to split them into two-parters to keep you coming back, but hey, it’s worked on me so far.
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 22:57:58 GMT

So fortunate for their approach - I can’t commend the producers and journalist in this series enough, for a number of reasons. While it may initially, for all of us, grab our attention speaking about paranormal/supernatural. This podcast does not exploit that. In fact, you can see the careful attention that was taken to relay a message that was both engaging yet is hopefully going to help others understand the Faith and/or have a greater respect for the objective approach that is taken in the very rare case of a true possession. If you listen to the priests wording and interviews of doctors the priests never takes credit for being able to help, he clarifies that it is Christ that is fighting not the exorcist that has powers. I hope others can have a greater respect for the rite, whether believer or not. Maybe seeing the very rationale approach will help others to understand, and even greater realize the very realness of the presence in our world, the spiritual battle so to speak so we can understand the reality of what maybe we don’t see.

Great podcast… Ads not so much - First: I love the podcast! Excellently produced, wonderful sound quality, deeply intriguing. Second: I challenge the producer to reconsider the sponsor platform (I-heart radio?). The ads are all about promoting Covid vaccines and other super-questionable content. Please think about the wisdom in linking your amazing podcast with a source of monetization that actually damages your message through eroding trust. You may not even be aware of what ads are coming up during your podcast (you should make a point to definitely find out), but there are far better platforms to partner with. Many of us in your audience cringe at hearing government sponsored ads before and during such an important subject.

Engaging, informative & Enriching! Jesus is Lord….even the demons tremble! - I heard about this podcast from a YouTube interview w this Priest’s role in Spiritual warfare & Demonic Possession, oppression, infestation & influence. The Priest’s knowledge, experience & calm demeanor regarding dealing w the evil-demonic realm boosts my own Faith in God. We must always tread lightly when researching & learning about demons. I do think it’s important to know your enemy! This physical world is influenced by the spiritual world. Many people who may profess they “believe in God” or a Divine Creator; they then deny the existence of demons & satan’s influence over the physical world. This is in blatant contradiction to what The Bible states. During Jesus’ earthly ministry he removed demons from people. The Demons Recognized who Jesus was /is from the spiritual realm. I believe it’s imperative during these times of strife, instability, increasing anti-Christian beliefs & actions across society that people first accept & follow Jesus Christ as their Lord & Savior. Then, as Followers of Jesus Christ, we should inform, educate& arm ourselves with knowledge of our Faith. In so doing, we will strengthen our own spiritual armor, Faith & love for God. This will surely infuriate satan & his minions. We must prepare for spiritual battles thru prayer, fasting & reading The Bible. For those who don’t have Faith in God/ who don’t believe…ask yourself if you witnessed anything like what’s told in these stories, what explanation can be provided? If evil exists, then the opposite of perfect Holiness & Goodness must exist as well. Additionally, I believe one of the best evidences of God is His Own creative language ….shown thru our DNA …our genes. NEW Information cannot create itself. Information can be rearranged, DNA can mutate information can be lost…but NEW information cannot be created by itself. Ppl are so ready to blame God for bad things, evil, and whatever else but they forget to acknowledge ALL of the beauty & the very gift of LIFE that was given to Us! To think that an explosion created order, beauty & life is like believing that a bomb/ explosion built -constructed a story building complete w indoor plumbing, telecommunications, climate control & all the furnishings BY ACCIDENT or by result of an Explosion! What bomb or explosion ever caused order? I pray this podcast opens the eyes of ppl who may be confused about God’s existence & I Pray this podcast brings Christians closer to God The Father, God The Son & God The Holy Spirit by showing JESUS Christ’s mighty power over evil, demonic spirits! I pray that ppl will also realize how dangerous divination, “spirit guides”, new age philosophies & other occult practices are. God gave us Free-will to choose to put HIM first thru worship& obedience & love for HIM. All the bad things that happen in the world is a result of sin. Rebelling against God’s Will for our lives. I pray for peace & protection for these Priests & other supporting teammates within the Catholic Church that is only found in having a relationship w our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ …believing that what Jesus accomplished on The Cross & Resurrecting from The Dead was FULL payment for my sins, your sins -our transgressions against God. Jesus’ eternal, Divine & Blood of Infinite value is triumphant payment for my sins! I’m so grateful God loves us enough to show us & provide us a way to be with HIM forever! Jesus said “I am the WAY, The TRUTH & The LIFE…no one comes to The Father except by Me!” AMEN & Maranatha!

Informative - Thank you for delivering such informative podcast, but not only that, this podcast went above and beyond by creating a re-enactment of the cases that brings the audience into the scene. The voice actors are great too! One thing to note for the audiences out there. Use a very good over the ear head phones! or use a surround sound speakers. You'll appreciate listening to this podcast more.

Spiritual Warfare At Its Best - This is the one podcast that allows me to escape, enjoy and even learn. I’ve always been fascinated with the supernatural and unseen, especially when they are true recorded events. Nice to see the Catholic Church opening up and sharing. Doesn’t get more real than this, unless of course, you are the one experiencing it. I’ll let the experts dabble as I go along for the ride.

Soo good (esp. for a neurodivergent brain) - I recently started listening and binged so many episodes on a road trip to the Grand Canyon! Love this show either way but it is very ADHD-friendly in my opinion, which makes me so much more likely to listen in general, but especially to the episodes where I don’t have a ton of personal/natural interest in. Also just a side note, being a new listener and skipping around through episodes, I have heard the progression of your story with your dad. There aren’t any words I could say that probably haven’t been said before but I just want to say that I recognize what a special relationship you had with him and sending all the good energy your and your family’s way!

LISTEN TO EXPERTS! - Ologies is a ray of light. I work in education and right now we’re dealing with a lot of [redacted language - go to town Ali] that directly contradicts everything experts have said about protecting our kids and making them feel safe. Ologies helps me remember that there is a whole community of people seeking, finding, following and listening to truth. Thank you to the experts who share their knowledge, thank you to every person who listens to them, and thank you to Ali for bringing the experts to us. You’re the best poddad.

Fun for the little and big! - Story time: My daughter and I like to incorporate Ologies/Smologies into her wind down routine at night. She has some sleep issues. I turn the volume really low and, it’s my absolute favorite, to turn it on .x speed and pretend everyone on Smologies is drunk. She doesn’t notice, but I’m giggling inside! / recommend giving it a try after a long day. Also, I listen to Ologies at work while I’m reading culture plates. Fun for all!

When a podcast host becomes your new best friend - Find you a friend who will introduced you to people the way Alie Ward introduces each and every one of her guests. Found this podcast by happenstance and it’s low key been one of the better things I’ve discovered this year. I find Alie’s voice and questions so captivating and enthusiastic. I’ve become obsessed with every topic and every guest in the same magnitude that she does. The first episode I listen to it was all about melanin, and I’ve never heard two people be more excited about a topic. This podcast makes me want to quit my job and pursue my dreams and do things I actually like. The level of enthusiasm and excitement Alie conveys in a topic or a guest is contagious. And honestly if your friends and loved ones aren’t bringing this level of energy to your life, well maybe they need to listen to this and up their game. I bawled my eyes out during every conversation about losing her father. Having lost my own father in and still processing and grieving. I’m learning so much about myself and my friends and my family and how we all possibly have some level of ADD or ADHD and seeking treatment and support. But most of all, I spent so much my day by myself working remotely and sometimes I get lonely and I miss my co-workers. And something about Alie and her voice and they way she talks and shares as if your her new best friend with engaging topics has helped my days go by a little bit faster and feel a little less alone… and I’m not crying, you’re crying. Love this podcast.

Makes me laugh cry and poke dirt - I’ve listened to this podcast for years and I tell everyone I know to listen to it because it tickles the part of my brain that has to know a little bit of everything and doesn’t make me feel weird for pointing at moss and talking about it’s reproduction on hikes. And it made me cry and laugh with Detroitology because of my homesickness for the city I was born in and I’m so happy our pod dad loves the city I love. stars if I could

A fresh wave of dad jokes studying science. - This is my first review and I had to take a moment to write and appreciate Allie Wards incredible dives into crazy subjects with aligned humor and visuals that make any topic palatable and easy to understand. I just finished Allie’s Dolorology podcast on Pain, and when I tell you the stomach pain from laughter, light revelations, and exhausting my coworkers with various facts from Hematology to Microbiology and Vampires, this podcast is an absolute delight.

Listening to this podcast makes me feel like I’m eating my after school PB&J and watching my favorite Discovery/Nat Geo/Animal Planet show. My rd grade inner child is thrilled. Also, as a Black listener I really appreciate the inclusivity of this podcast. stars!

Detroitology Episode - Allie! Thank you so much for this episode! It introduced me to so many new books/people to look into. Also I’m in Metro Detroit so it is just so crazy to hear YOU, the real queen, talking about our DEARBORN!!! I heard a cameo from my favorite Channel news anchor, Devin Scillian. Also fun fact, in Wyandotte, everyday around pm, if you’re in a quiet basement, you hear a scary rumbling!!! It was a mystery to me for years as a child!!! Until it was revealed to me that we’re actually hearing the mines working. Thank you so much for keeping the conversations relatable as well, I love when you pause the guest to explain things to the listeners and add details. Please keep doing what you’re doing! Be well, Sarah.

The names my god the names!!! - I just discovered this podcast and absolutely love it. The host is so fun and the guests are incredible. I truly enjoy the content and would binge all of the episodes if it weren’t for just one thing. Sorry to be that person but maybe I’m not alone. The listing of the listener names is like nails on a chalkboard. Over and over throughout the episode with the names… it feels like an interruption and it’s incredibly distracting. I had to stop listening after episodes. Do y’all really need to hear your name read in the middle of a discussion? Can’t we just listen to the host and guests? Am I crazy? Beueller? Would you consider listing all those names at once at the end of the episode so we can choose to sit through that or not?

Just stumbled on to this great show - I have been on the hunt for a podcast that is informative, interesting, and longer than the minutes it takes me to walk on the treadmill and I have found it in Ologies! I only like podcasts that teach me new facts that I can act as if I knew already at dinner parties and Alie has succeeded in my plagiarism. But most of all, I love how intersectional this show is and that every time I think “what about this marginalized group?” Alie is on it. Fave new show.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 23:01:26 GMT

Oh hey, it’s that review you read at the beginning of every episode? - The episode on Melaninology armed me with some fantastic facts to argue with Conan’s podcast alone in my car (he’s got it wrong on what red hair is but surprisingly correct on freckles), helped me finally understand eyes being windows to our souls (I thought we were looking in at a soul sitting on a living room couch, boring, but we’re actually looking out, eyes skies), and for some weird reason, while I have always pictured people twerking to the outro music, I will now picture them also saying “tigernuts” over the Ologies melody.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 11:31:22 GMT

Always an interesting listen! - Hello Alie! Thank you for the podcast I love your work! The episode MELANINOLOGY with Tina Lasisi was everything I’ve been curious about for years. Thank you for this research Dr. Lasisi! As a hairstylist with about years experience and a diverse clientele, i am learning so much about the biology I work with every day. Each person is so special it always blows my mind! PS: my current favorite “realistic” shade of red haircolor is the Wella / series. Its a warm red with slight ash tones that is somehow magically similar to a mid tone warm red/deep ginger shade. I use it in natural red heads for dimensihair colorlights.

Melaninology!!! - I am a copiously freckled human of European descent who’s eye color has changed a dozen times and who discovered their hair is naturally curly in their s. Additionally, I have a B.A. in anthropology and I recently became a midwife. The melaninology episode was a feast for my brain and also my imaginary senses. The airport neuroscience smorgasbord episode was a blast! Like a round table of brain magic! Trying to sleep more. I love you, Alie Ward. Thank you for approaching strangers for the betterment of your listeners.

Dropped the ball on neuroscientist interviews - I was really interested to hear this episode and while the interviews were rushed and lacked depth I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt because it was spontaneously put together in an airport, but once a distasteful comment was made to a woman who works on rats it became obvious that you have no real respect for people in science who depend on this research to help the lives of humans. The cherry on the top was your virtue signal side note on how you’re trying to eat more vegetarian. Cringe worthy…we all know why you HAD to say it and it’s not because you care about the animals or the planet. If the content was better you wouldn’t be a try hard.

Blurry Creatures - the true National Treasure - These guys are doing amazing work with this podcast. Initially I was intrigued by the fact that they were looking at “blurry creatures” through a biblical lens, because my own interest in those subjects come from that perspective. By episode , my worldview and understanding of things was beginning to change. Now, episodes in, my faith has a new depth, dots have made meaningful connections, and I’m still learning/considering new ways to look at issues, all while being pointed to the Truth.

Condolences - Dr. Heiser was an amazing man. His intellect speaking on the Bible got my hooked immediately. I have read the entire Bible but enjoy hearing it explained. I am a cancer survivor and am so saddened that the good doctor never got the chance to exhale!! Hearing from your oncologists that you are “cured”. I put that in quotes because you NEVER KNOW when it’s going to rear its ugly head. I pray for this brilliant wonderful man. God bless his soul.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 02:58:48 GMT

Blurry Creatures- Every Episode! - My condolences on the passing of this amazing man! I haven't heard of many of your guests and I've been amazed and all kinds of other emotions each guest brings up. I was very sad to hear of the passing of Dr Heiser as well. That last podcast you did with him prior to his death was especially poignant. What I've been blessed most by your show is how badly we were raised in the churchian doctrine that supplanted any original teaching but even that was absent of Dr. Heiser's seminal teaching on theUnseen Realm and the Court of Heaven. The best byproduct of all your guests is to teach us how to pray and not be afraid when the Blurry Creatures suddenly become starkly visible. May God continue to richly bless you by more & more ppl finding comfort & strength in who the Lord Jesus really is and sharing these personal accounts of supernatural encounters with the current landlord. Oh and every episode w/Timothy Albariño. I always need to listed at least x to his, Dr. Heiser many times over. Can't say enough great things about your shows!

Best. Podcast. Ever. - Everything a podcast should be, from very cool music (love the s vibe!), to great hosts, entertaining and expert guests, and the most intriguing content! Nate and Luke balance each other out perfectly and treat every guest with respect, demonstrating a sincere interest and open-minded curiosity that is often hard to find on this type of format. With intelligence and humility (a rare combination) they tackle each subject in a way that makes you feel they are your long time buddies, just sitting with you in your living room, engaged in fun, effortless conversation. Regarding the subject matter, this isn’t just an informative podcast. It’s a journey of discovery that is truly awesome!

I love this podcast! - It’s the only podcast I listen to regularly and get excited about each new episode. These guys are great hosts to intriguing guests. The show is well produced. I can’t wait to see where this goes! Hopefully video versions will be available one day so we can se some visuals of the sort of creatures they are discussing when possible. I didn’t believe in Bigfoot until listening to this and understanding the possible origins of such a creature. This podcast has opened my mind to a lot of interesting topics and helped me see that so much more is possible within my Christian world view. And non-Christians will vibe well with this too. It’s all a journey! Definitely give this show a shot if you are on the fence!

on episode - You guys lost me on this one! So far the only episode that stunk, have been liking and sharing the rest. The guest father is sowing untruths for sure! “A year and a half to complete an excorsim…” That’s because catholic rituals are whack are pagan. Jesus Christ taught us differently. Evil spirits gone in a second. Don’t follow religion follow the truth and power and authority in Christ Jesus!

Obsessed with this podcast! - I’m going to start off with saying that I’m not a podcast person. I’ve tried listening to a few in the past, but they’ve just never been for me. THIS podcast however is mind blowing! Forget binging shows or moves etc., binge this! I love how they never try to convince you one way or another, it’s just bringing information to the table that you can do what you want with. I’ve shared this podcast with a few people already and have even found a blurry creatures sticker in a really random spot in South Dakota. Please keep this up guys because I just finished episode and I’m already worried about “catching up”!

New to you - I have been listening to you and the other guy, sooty, I forgot his name. Y’all were talking about ghost/shadow people. I live in the same house that my daddy died in in . I had married after he died and when I was , I divorced and moved back here to take care of my mama in her late years. When my daughter and I moved back we lived in one side of our duplex and mama lived in the other side. It is an old mill village house. Pretty big when it is open all the way through. My daughter was and one Sunday after Sunday dinner(lunch) she had some of her friends over. I was in the kitchen washing dishes and heard a lot of ‘things’ falling in her room. I went in there to see these teenagers staring at pictures and what nots that FLEW off of her mantle. She had a glass vanity under the mantle but none of the items hit it! I had known that my daddy’s spirit was here so I just picked the stuff up and put it back. They were all saying, we didn’t do it! I had told my daughter before we moved back up here that daddy would come around sometime so she just looked at me. They thought nothing more of it and went off to play softball. I went to the kitchen to finish up and things started thumping in her closet. I came in there, opened the door and her radio and books were falling out of her closet. I just said, ok daddy, we know you are here. My brother had lived on this side after he got married in ‘. After that day, for the next four years we had numerous visits. He was very prevalent in my daughters room but also throughout these four rooms. I sleep in the bedroom that he died in. He never came passed the threshold of my bedroom. Oh yeah, the knock happened often too. Scared several of my friends to the point that one never came back, others were acceptable. He turned the lights on, the sink water, stuff like that. I’m the fall of , my daughter went to college, I would get up in the morning and the teddy bears and pilllows would be moved and on the floor in her bedroom. He was so protective over her. One night at : a.m. I woke up and was laying on my side facing the hallway. I SAW his sillouette in my bedroom door. I closed my eyes, opened them really fast to make sure I was seeing right. He was still there. I sat up and said daddy, so I stood up and went toward him. He just moved back thru the hall, into the living room and back into her bedroom and went away. My mother got very sick, dependent on me for everything after this happened. I had also gotten custody of two of my grandchildren and was raising them. They were & and no, I didn’t tell them. Mama never believed us, my brother by this time had asked me if I ever had things happen and he had experienced the same things when he lived here. So one morning, the yr old came to me and said ‘grandma do you know we have a ghost. I said yes, do you know who it is. She said it is granddaddy and he came to me in my sleep and told me not be scared that he was protecting us. Anyway, my mama died in and she finally saw him before she passed. I don’t see him as often or experience much anymore. He still comes around but not much. I miss him. I live here by myself but I did close the other side off and now rent it. Her grandson is and she catches him looking at ‘nothing’ and laughing sometime. So, my question is, if I only see shadows are y’all saying they are demons? I do not believe that. I’ve only concluded that he was here waiting to take mama Home. One more thing, I don’t know about the Sally house event. I watched Paranormal Files go there and it was crazy! I would love to do one someday though.

Happy to have found you. - I am new to pod casts and just started listening to podcasts in November of . I learned about your podcast searching for things that interested me. My wife has been on a team and I always called them the ghost buster’s. Even though I have had my own experiences in life one being my dreams, I still was a skeptic. Anyway I love you two together. You both have a roll and I find it very entertaining. I just joined the Facebook page and I started with the January show. I’m in May of now.

Finally had to speak up. - ’ve been a Michael Shermer fan for years, a Skeptic subscriber, and more recently a podcast listener. But…these past couple of years I’ve noticed him not challenging unsubstantiated statements made by guests, most notably those leaning conservative. I thought, maybe he’s just being polite. Not exactly demonstrating critical thinking, but it’s his podcast, maybe that isn’t the point? Now, though, I hear him parodying things said by the far left noisemakers and presenting them as if they represent the core beliefs of all liberals. That’s not cool. (Presenting far right noisemakers as representing all conservatives: equally not cool.) This is not the critical thinking approach to “news” in the media that drew me to the Skeptics world in the first place. But I still subscribe to critical thinking, which means listening to both sides, so I’ve continued to listen to Shermer’s guests. I rarely agree with everything they say - sometimes with nothing they say - but you can’t evaluate what you don’t hear. Today, though, Shermer made one more misleading, bordering on non-factual statement, and I just couldn’t stay quiet any more. It wasn’t a terribly important fact, just the proverbial straw. He said, “In California here, we have to have all electric cars by . No more gas-powered cars. If you want to drive an old muscle car like a Camaro or a Mustang with the big (makes rumble noise), you have to go to a track.” Well, I’ve heard exactly this point being made on Fox “News”. Is that where you’re getting your “facts” now, Shermer? Because the actual facts - because Facts Matter - are these: ) Beginning in (not ), no more new gas-powered cars can be sold in California. ) You can still drive your muscle car as you always have, on public roads. ) You can even buy a used muscle car, and drive it on public roads. Just not a new one. ) If your vehicle doesn’t pass its smog test, then you can’t drive it on public roads…but that’s true now and has nothing to do with the switch to electric cars. That’s been the law for decades. But Shermer’s comment presented a very different message, one that seemed deliberately deceptive. Not necessarily by Shermer, but definitely by whatever media he got that message from. (Mr. Shermer, if this statement was entirely yours, then shame on you.) There have been many other such mis-statements that rang familiar from Fox messages, but this is one where I had reason to know the truth. I am very saddened today to have my perception that Shermer is no longer practicing critical thinking and objective evaluation proven true. My heart is broken.

Wild Turkey Science - As a concerned wild turkey enthusiast, I have to say this is the most insightful podcast I've ever listened to on the subject. I've listened to every single episode--and some twice-- and have learned so much along the way, sometimes not what I wanted to hear, but that's science for you. These guys put the science out there, and that’s what the turkey needs right now. The content is amazing, and I've even started to implement many of the things I've learned on the properties I manage. Thanks for bringing the goods and getting a “Who’s Who” lineup of biologists and researchers each week. I love geeking out on this podcast.

Just Outstanding! - Finally, the information that we have always longed for. They present the data in terms even this layman can understand and potentially apply. They have destroyed so many of my previous misconceptions about the turkey. After a few hours lying in the fetal position, in a dark room, I came to appreciate the podcasts even more. Keep up the great, and much needed work! Also, consider joining Turkeys for Tomorrow as this funding needs to keep coming.

Wild Turkey podcast - This podcast comes at a time when controversy over the wild turkey status and management is at an all time high. Information from research has been misquoted, misunderstood and misdirected at times. Dr. Lashley and Dr. Gulsby have brought about a much needed interpretive media connection between landowners/ hunters / managers and the academic world. Finally, the wheat is separated from the chaff. And all of this in an enjoyable format that does not dodge the difficult (I.e. not popular) topics. I have listened to every episode and eagerly await the next. No matter your experience level with either turkey hunting or land management, I feel certain you will find many pearls of wisdom concerning this wonderful bird as well as a deeper appreciation for efforts to keep it abundant in numbers for generations to come. Thanks guys and keep up the good work. J. Godley, DVM

March Episode- Small Landowners Matter Too - First off I really enjoy the podcast and I know I’ll be able to better manage my properties with what I’m learning each week! I wanted to comment on the part of the episode where you guys talk about landowners with small tracks getting discouraged with feeling like they make no impact. I have three - acre properties and one I small acre lease that I manage year around for turkeys and deer here in NE Mississippi. I’ve found that my little acres tract holds more turkeys and we kill more turkeys there than any other tract I own! I’m lucky that that spot sits between two large ridge lines with a creek and small four acre field right in the middle. I burn what I can and trap the perimeters of all my property. Makes a HUGE difference! Thanks guys!

Each episode is packed with information that is supported by scientific studies and explained by experts. It’s not always the information we want to hear, but it is the information we need to hear if we are going to help the Wild Turkey. A couple questions for Marcus and Will… . Where can someone find more papers on studies that have been done in regards to Wild Turkeys? . What resources are available for landowners in Michigan to identify beneficial Turkey habitat on their property and to provide recommendations on improving that property for Wild Turkey and other game birds?

No - The host basically fawned over Ben Shapiro for over an hour, someone that doesn’t belong on a science podcast to begin with, all while saying he likes other points of views on the podcast while playing Ben’s fanboy the whole time. Just gross. “In my house we always ask what Ben Shapiro would do!”… get outta here… no patience to listen to someone that claims to be a smart person that can’t tell if someone is a heaping dumpster fire or not. Ben Shapiro has been very clear that his view of the universe is predicated on religious dogma all while spreading hate to those that don’t follow his narrow religious views… and this podcast gives him a platform? Not even a spirited debate but literally fanboying over him the whole time? Sorry, but you lost me. Any scientific mind would have challenged him on his ridiculous ideas and hate he spews in order have a conversation to put forward in front of their audience but Brian just fanboy’ed over him the whole time. I’d also like to add that Brian trying to extol (read: force) his academic background on everyone the whole time while being a rd tier academic is really annoying and he is involved in Prager U(niversity) which is basically a fake university that rips people off for their money under the guise of selling them American conservatism. He had Eric Weinstein on his pod for f sakes. Can’t take someone that sells themselves as an academic seriously when they rub elbows with garbage like this.

Brilliant, Entertaining and Captivating - “Into the Impossible” is the modern equivalent of the Algonquin Round Table — if the members of the “Vicious Circle” had been composed of the world’s leading thinkers in science, humanities and technology instead of editors, playwrights and denizens of Broadway. Oh - and if they recorded their conversations to share with the world. Fortunately for us, Dr. Brian Keating’s fascinating conversations with leading visionaries and thinkers are accessible as a podcast. His show is down-to-earth, funny and helps those of us without hard science backgrounds contemplate and grapple with ideas as far flung as quantum mechanics to cosmology, AI to NFTs and Galileo to the Galileo Project. No idea is too big for Into the Impossible and no sacred cow is safe under the scrutiny of Dr. Keating and his guests. Subscribe, listen and learn. If the soul survives death, then you’ll be in good company as Dorothy Parker

A brilliant insight into the universe - I just recently came across Into The Impossible and can honestly say I have become fascinated if not borderline obsessed. The guests, the information and the insight the podcast provides are amazing, needed and surreal. I don’t always understand much or a lot of the conversations but it is always fun, intriguing and leaves me wanting to learn more. Thank you Dr. Keating!

There and Back Again: Listener Thoughts - This has become one of my favorite podcasts within the last six months. When I first listened, I was a little unsure because other podcasts I’ve tried to listen to with only male hosts just weren’t the business. While I initially enjoyed the content, and still do, my thoughts on the hosts have evolved. I’ll share them below. (Mike) Then: This guy sounds like a hipster elitist tumblr poster in that hates anything that’s popular. Now: Any time he makes a satirical comment, an angel gets it’s wings. (Wes) Then: Dude sounds like a huge nerd. Like he probably told the teachers in high school when classmates were passing notes. Now: Bro is absolutely down for the cause and consistently raging against the capitalist machine. (Jeff) Then: He sounds like he has two brain cells too busy boxing each other to figure out how to pronounce certain words. Now: A total silly goose with a face that could launch a thousand ships. I said what I said. Now go listen to Tooth and Claw.

Boy howdy is this the best podcast on the planet - To say this podcast isn’t the greatest, would be a bold faced lie. I have been listening to these guys for I’d say almost years now and my life has been changed… (for the better!) I started listening to this podcast just to get me thru my workday. As a dog groomer with ADHD I need something to help keep me focused on the task at hand. These guys are so relatable that I’d find myself nodding and or responding to them (even though it’s clearly prerecorded and they obviously can’t hear me. But that’s how much they make you feel like your friend. Lol.) I’ve always been interested in wild life but never to the extent that I am now. Wes gives so many interesting facts about all kinds of animals… as well as constantly referencing books, articles, documentaries, etc. where you can find even more information. Not only that, he tells embarrassing stories about himself which makes it EVEN MORE relatable. It’s a very well balanced podcast. I have learned so many new terms that I never knew before, and I use them regularly now thanks to Wes. Thanks for making me sound smart my guy. What to say about Jeff… Jeff is hilarious. He reminds me so much of myself and how my own brain operates. He is always cracking jokes. You know he’s smart even though sometimes he doesn’t act like it… How about that time he thought African wild dogs were in Australia… Whatever you do, don’t ask him to pronounce Svalbard. Lol. Which adds a whole different vibe to the podcast. I mean all of them are funny but Jeff takes the cake… and ice cream?! Inside joke. You’d get it if you listened. Mike. I feel as though he is an underrated member. Now I’m not gonna say I’m saving the best for last, because I honestly couldn’t tell you who’s the best. I find them all equally amazing in their own way. Mike is a key member to this group for sure. The podcast wouldn't be the same without him. He might not have an animal background, but his hatred for horses and hermit mentality is what I like most about him. Not that I hate horses… although one did step on my foot as a kid so I would say I appreciate them from afar. I apologize for such a long review. Wes I don’t want to hear TLDR. I appreciate you guys so much and all that you do. If you ever find yourself in Lake Tahoe, hit me up. Ps. Sign up for their Patreon. They will answer your questions and there is so much bonus content. Love you guys. Kerrisa B.

BEST SHOW EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I love this show so much! It’s hilarious and I know so many things about so many things, that I would have never know if it wasn’t for tooth and claw. Like how hippos don’t actually swim, they just walk along the bottom of the river! And ever since I listened to the first hippo episode, I’ve been obsessed with them and there my favorite animal. Now I’m set on being a hippo biologist when I grow up! I have heard Almost every episode and I love every single one!

Loves it!! - I love the banter between the hosts, Jeff has the comic relief down to a science. Mike reminds me of the American version of Karl Pilkington. This is a compliment of highest regard in my opinion. Wes knows his stuff, and is very good about giving possible reasons for attacks and how to deter them from happening. I also love the ’s movies and all Simpsons references they give. I did want to throw out the movie Project X with Matthew Broderick and Helen Hunt. About Chimpanzees learning to fly. In the Moe chimp episode you said most movies didn’t use older chimps due to aggressiveness etc.. this movie does and for an ’s movie it’s quite a good one. Anyway, keep up the good work I truly enjoy your podcast. Anna

I adore this podcast! - I first heard Wes when he recapped Cocaine Bear on the Too Scary; Didn't Watch podcast. Right after that I went to Tooth and Claw and listened to the Night of the Grizzly episodes as he suggested. After that, I went back and started listening from the beginning, and within a week I had signed up for their Patreon so I could hear more. The show is smart, educational, and funny and the guys are delightful to listen to. I feel much more prepared for, and less scared of a possible wild animal encounter, even though I don’t really like being out in nature for extended periods of time.

Very entertaining and educational - Love, love, love this podcast. It Is very entertaining and educational. As a dog walker, I listen to many podcasts throughout the day, everyday and this podcast is by far my favorite. Every time an episode drops, it’s like Christmas morning. This is also the only podcast that I’ve paid to become a subscriber just so I can’t listen to more episodes. I just love the dynamics among Mike, Jeff & Wes. They are entertaining. I also enjoy the educational portion of the podcast too. Can’t get enough of it. Keep up the good job guys. Sandy

Love the Hosts! - My brother recommended this podcast to me so I would take a break from all of my true crime stories. I wasn’t sure about it, but I can’t believe how much I love it. The stories are even more exciting than true crime, and the hosts are the best part of the whole thing. Wes is a genius and amazing story-teller and Jeff and Mike are comic relief gold. The three of them together make this the best podcast out there. Hopefully they keep this up for a long time.

Antivenom is the bomb - Dear Trio of Tooth, Love the podcast - you guys bring a great perspective. I’m in the medical world and loved the rattlesnake episode - I will NOT under-dose antivenom should that question arise! Keep up the good work, the Lord of the Rings references and the fun. :) it’s a pleasure to hear it all. If you’re ever in Grand Rapids Michigan, coffee is on me! Beth Ps Side request - I would love more content on zoonotic diseases (ones transmitted by animals)

Tres Panda Bros - Great podcast guys. Enjoy every episode of y’all’s from the animal topics, story telling, safety protocols, categories, and quirky jokes. Thank you for all you do and keeping the public informed. Have a great idea for episode. March Madness is here add your favorite celebrity animal biologist host (dead or alive) or do a celebrity death match bracket what animal would the bring to the fight. Would like to here y’all’s input. Continue to be awesome and looking forward to the next episodes.

Perfect podcast - My girlfriends adore this show, and talk about it frequently, but it didn’t seem like my thing. Fortuitously, en route to a girls weekend getaway, one of my friends ran into Jeff on a flight. Serious fangirling ensued all weekend, so I finally listened to see what all the fuss was about. Despite zero interest in animal attacks I LOVED this show. Within a week, I was fangirling too, subscribed to the T&C patreon, and bingeing all episodes. Awesome host chemistry, with a great balance of knowledge and humor. So glad Jeff was on that flight to San Diego!
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 04:04:01 GMT

Amazing! Simply the Best - This podcast is easily my favorite. It delves into animal attacks but more importantly the why behind the attacks & what we can do if we’re ever in the similar situations. Wes, the bear expert lays down all the facts while Jeff provides wit and fun retorts alongside cleverness from our favorite skeptic Mike. If you’re looking for -survival stories -animal attacks -not so survival stories -animal education -belly laughs -animal trivia -a good time This podcast is for you! Would give out of if I could.

One of the best podcasts out there - Tooth and Claw is truly excellent and has been my favorite podcast ever since I listened to my first episode. The content is a perfect blend of fascinating and informative, and clever and hilarious. The mood tends to stay light which I appreciate as it counters the gravity of the incredible animal attack stories. The hosts are brilliant. Wes is incredibly knowledgeable and has an abundance of crazy stories, Jeff is clever and charismatic, and Mike, with his quick wits, hatred of horses, and knowledge of a plethora of niche topics, is truly one of the most under appreciated podcasters out there. I implore you to give it a listen. I learn so much and laugh out loud every episode.

Boring white guys who think they’re funny - Waste of $, the audacity of charging that to try your podcast out. I came for insane animal stories and left when I realized I couldn’t get that without fast forwarding through so much banter between the straight male hosts making jokes and getting off topic. Sorry but you aren’t comedians, so I found this very self indulgent and annoying when I don’t know you and came for what you advertise the show to be. And the pay wall just made it all the more annoying. Stick to the script

/ claws. Love itt. - Came here from Too Scary, Didn’t Watch, Wes featured on a episode and I just had to check out this podcast. First off, LOVE the banter between these guys and WILL physically fight anyone who thinks it’s annoying. Wes does a fantastic job of educating you about animals without being condescending or repetitive. The flow of the episodes are very nice and I really don’t even realize that an hour has gone by when I’m listening to these guys talk about how they would fend off a Hippo. LOVE YOU GUYS,KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK.

Amazing! - I discovered your podcast on a road trip from Colorado to Tennessee in December of , since that day, I can’t stop listening! The detail and research that Wes, Jeff and Mike do to prepare for every show is very detailed, we can tell by the level of love and knowledge for koala bears that Jeff shares with us on a multitude of occasions. I’ve been in veterinary medicine for years now and my new area of focus is in wildlife biology and animal behavior and Wes not only knows his stuff but is passionate about sharing that information with the world! Thank you guys for all your hard work! You’ve not only gained a listener but a subscriber as well! Keep it up and here’s to an amazing and future episodes!

Excellent - I’m a longtime podcast listener and have loved all the award-winning shows (true crime, public radio stories, etc), but this podcast is hands down (paws down?) my favorite now. Wes’s communication about his expertise & his storytelling are top-notch, and the friendship among the guys is so endearing and such a welcome reprieve from some of the necessary darkness, given the focus of the podcast.

Must listen to podcast - My mind was blown. Every parent, teacher, educator should listen to this series. It is powerful, filled with the science and research behind reading, and why there is still a pull to teach outdated methods that has been proven for decades to be ineffective. Also, I can’t say I’ve ever teared up during a podcast’s credits before. But I did with this one. Worth every second of your time, and coming from a busy mom with very little time to listen to podcasts, that’s saying something.

Excellent, but infuriating!!! - I am an instructional coach and read about your podcast a while back. Today I listened to the first episode of Sold a Story and could. Not. Stop. I voraciously listened to all six episodes! If anyone had been observing me they would have wondered who I was talking to with my “Amen”s, head shaking and eye rolling. To your point about the three-cueing system; it is baffling that guessing is still being taught as a strategy to learn how to read. We tell our students, “Don’t guess! You have the tools to read that word.” Your documentary brought back all the anger I felt toward the colleges and universities for not teaching me and my colleagues about the Science of Reading. That needs to be your next investigation. How are universities taking the money of and giving degrees to elementary teachers without TEACHING them how to teach students to read??? There needs to be accountability.

I learned phonics in the s - Thanks for this history and expose of the non-scientific way of teaching reading. I was taught phonics in the s while my husband was taught the “sight and say” (Marie Clay’s method). I was excellent at reading (being able to pronounce almost any word due to prior phonics learning) and spelling. My husband doesn’t like to read, even though he went on to teach math. My daughter was initially taught phonics in kindergarten and st grade but whole language beginning in nd grade and, to this day, believes the whole language method messed her up at a critical point in her early education. I had always wondered why phonics was discontinued. Who ever said that learning had to be easy? Life is never easy and certain life lessons are learned through difficult experiences. Thank you for your persistence in pursuing this crucial methodology and integral part of life learning.

% of my school cannot read - I am a school speech pathologist that stumbled upon this podcast while attending a dyslexia seminar. I was motivated to attend the seminar after discovering % of the student body was below grade level in reading. %. Benchmark has been the cornerstone of the reading curriculum at this school for the last years. While there are many many other barriers to learning that impact that number, I cannot help but feel total horror that the Benchmark reading curriculum has contributed to the deck stacked against the children in my school. Thank you for shedding the brightest light on the unheard concerns the teachers at my school have been voicing for years. THANK YOU!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 02:26:02 GMT

Teacher says thank you - Thank you for this podcast that has opened my eyes as to what I did wrong for many years of teaching way back in the early ’s until now . I recently finished the Reading Academy, mandated by my district which did touch on the science of reading , but this podcast just reinforced that idea . Again , thank you and I’ll adjust my focus for my students who still need phonics instruction in third grade !

Encouraging to become better educators! - During the past years I have had some confrontation with colleges, parents, and friends about the way reading is being taught in the United States. This documentary has helped me cope and really feel like someone thinks like me. I actually didn’t know a lot of the informational facts. It makes a lot of sense and as I always thought it has to be logical. Kids are smart they need to learn with logics not confusion. I thank Emily Hanford for her time and dedication. It is truly encouraging to change strategies in the classroom to give the best of us educators to students.

The Truth - Your version of the “truth” is potentially going to take something a way from teachers and students that has helped a great deal. You keep using the term teaching three cueing. You also acknowledge that is a made up term. Three cueing was not a way to teach. Using MSV is a way to analyze parts of a running record to see how students figure out words or what they did when stuck on a word or what they were doing while reading. The goal was to make sure students were orthographically mapping through the word as well as making sense. Did you look at the Observation Survey in Reading Recovery? If phonics is not taught (which systematic phonics was taught in every lesson following what a child needed), then why were letters, sounds and Hearing and Recording Sounds in words assessed? Why did we use sound boxes (Elkonin boxes)? Do you realize there was a word work portion, a writing portion and a make and break portion in each lesson. All of these are related to phonics instruction. I feel like you have thrown Marie Clay under the bus when it was other people who made changes to her work or people getting tiny bits of redelivery training and then doing their own interpretations of teaching that may have caused misconceptions that you are stating. I actually am Reading Recovery trained and taught it for several years. The V in MSV is all about the phonics - letters and sounds. The word “guess” was not taught in anything we learned. You are so off base with how you describe this program and it is NOT truthful when you claim that all you want is to convey is truth! Phonics is an integral part of teaching reading but trashing other programs isn’t the way to unite our education system to work together on a huge problem which is teaching students how to read.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 13:11:50 GMT

Truth is Told About Teaching Reading - This is an excellent podcast. Direct and explicit teaching of phonics especially for pre school, kindergarten, it gives the youngsters and even the adult learner the foundation for reading. I am a retired educator, reading specialist and have worked in school districts using the various program mentioned in the podcast and wow did it hurt to see middle schoolers who still struggled with reading. My grandson during the pandemic was taught phonics and enjoyed read aloud every night from an early age and boy did his reading take off in first grade and his writing too because he can decode words. Yes!!! The science of reading I am confident is how teachers and parents should be using. I can listen to this broadcast over and over because it’s the truth!

Lovely Storytelling - There’s a comment on here by Sweet-ish Caroline that completely misses the point of this podcast! The story teller is not only now realizing that the party crew scene was complex. She is bringing light to the reality of teens living in underserved communities — that they often are forced to find joy and safe spaces in less then ideal situations. The host is shinning the light on these teens’ resiliency and their ingenuity juxtaposing it to the harshness of their neighborhoods. These teens must make what they can with what they have. It is a coming of age story of two teens who were discovering their identities and trying to feel freedom in a complicated world. One teen’s journey was tragically cut short; another teen got to derive meaning from her experience. The host does a beautiful job of being empathic and thoughtful

Good and bad memories - Myself I’m from the generation before this. I lived in Rosemead and I too was in one of these girl groups that would hang out with truck clubs. When I look back at it now it was very problematic. I couldn’t imagine my own daughter living this adultish lifestyle as a year old. A scene where older men are abundant. This podcast makes me realize that although I thought I was having so much fun, it’s kinda sad to be honest. This is dredging up fun memories with my friends, but I can see now how dangerous for a young girl this was and is.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 21:28:16 GMT

So good! - This series was really good! It highlights the importance of diversity in media and people who tell our stories. There was so much care given to Emmery’s story and life by someone who also lived in the same flyer party community. That same level of care clearly wasn’t there in the coverage when she died. The vulnerability of the host really brought to life the importance of this community to these teens.

I was in the game and out this podcast - Another old skool dj that was djing with me around the time of the podcast talking about the flyer parties from - posted this show and I had to listen! Brings me back when I was in my prime. I was one of the people up there as a dj, event producer, and Mc for many of these events all over Southern California party crew/flyer party scene. I left the scene to go to the / over clubs right at the end of and beginning of and remember this story. Thanks for the memories.

A podcast about a playwright doing a podcast writing a play - I don't usually write negative reviews about podcasts, but this one is the quintessential example of a good story combined with bad narration. I got through two episodes before deciding I'd rather read Svetlana's Wikipedia page than continue listening to Dan talking about how Dan is writing a play about Svetlana and about his personal obsession and speculation about her. He has a good time with it, and you may too, but I found his narrative style distracting from an otherwise fascinating topic.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:12:46 GMT

Браво! - I was skeptical coming in. I usually listen to dry historical stuff and wasn’t sure about the first peaks into Daniel’s life and creative process. He and Svetlana won me over. This podcast is a breath of fresh air. I love how he uses his life to tell her story without centering himself. I think his ability to poke fun at himself while also poking fun at Svetlana’s experiences removed much of the snark I’ve found in similarish podcasts. Bravo!
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 15:28:26 GMT

MORE PLEASE!!! - I’m a huge “podcast person” with a particular affinity for fun historical nonfiction, and this is the best historical nonfiction podcast I’ve listened to in a long time (maybe ever?!). Svetlana’s story is captivating and the primary source content is incredible. Dan cracks me up without distracting from the story, paints complicated historical events into approachable vignettes, and treats each character with empathy and respect. More more more!!!
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 17:16:25 GMT

Host is fantastic! - Just so you know, if you just want to hear about Svetlana and anything else will make you explode like a volcano, you can leave now. Maybe reading the autobiography would be better for you! Dan really brings energy and enthusiasm to this delightfully intense story! I love the little side stories and the jokes are nice. The actual story is fantastic too, and I really feel like I got to know Svetlana.

Delightful - This is really interesting and a blast to listen to. For all the, “The host blah blah blah…”. The host is a huge part of why you’re listening to it. You can listen to this story on a bunch of other podcasts. It’s a pretty well known story that happens to be adjacent to other well known interesting stories. I love the host and look forward to giggling on my bus ride home from work.

Riveting and fascinating - This was one of the best stories I’ve heard in ages! It was educational, interesting and fascinating. The information about the contract futures was particularly informative. Who knew! My uncle was a farmer and some of my cousins still are so I have great respect for Americas farmers. What Cody did was messed up! He’s an outlier from the others and I believe we need to do more to preserve and protect farmers and our ag heritage.

An American tragedy - Finally a narrative podcast about rural America told by someone who has chosen to live there and understands the nuances of the subject. Too often it seems major media companies descend on small towns and as soon as they’re off the plane they have to belittle the natives who must be a bunch of rubes to live in these backwater places. No such conceits here as the storyteller lets us know the cattle business is big business and there are complex financial systems at play. The narrator doesn’t speak in condescending tones but clearly inhabits this same world. That’s not to say she’s uncritical of her subject but she’s comfortable talking center pivot irrigation and futures markets and knows this isn’t some hayseed operation but a tragedy at a cattle operation this size has the ability to affect your combo meal at Wendy’s. Highly recommended.

Great story, bad podcast - The Easterday story is absolutely fascinating. However, Anna King’s telling of it through this podcast was not very good. Alongside repeating the same information over and over (this podcast could have taken place in a single one hour episode and would have provided the same information), Anna King uses this fake western accent that is just so…odd. It honestly made me take her reporting less seriously because it was so unauthentic. Also, I am not part of the Mormon Church, but I believe that she misrepresents them drastically in this story. Overall, I would suggest reading a news article about the Easterday story rather than listening to this podcast.

The American Dream. Greed. Reputation. - I finished this in one day and then couldn’t stop talking about it. My teacher brain is already planning on how to use this podcast with my juniors. Well done! There are so many themes within this short series. My only wish is that you dig more into the land that is bought up by corporations and billionaires. I wonder if other major churches purchase land like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Top Shelf - This story is a gem. It’s genesis is the core of it’s quality: the author coming from a farming family, the ten years she spent learning her beat, learning the history of the land, meeting the local farmers and working methodically to gain their trust. So much work put in. All of this was on display in her story. Her desire to include the experience of the indigenous people who lived on, with and in these same lands adds depth and poignancy.
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 11:50:42 GMT

Dragged out - This is a good story but before even getting to the story, it just keeps repeating.. an repeating… And repeating how this family had an “empire” and repeating how they stole money … over and over and over. Found ourselves fast forwarding it to actually get to the story. And the narrators voice is so much louder than the the other people’s recorded voices. So we would trim it up and then it’s her voices blasting and hurry and turn it down.

Industrial American Farming Tragedy - A podcast about a “…family, fraud, land and power in the American West.” Fact-based, unbiased, well-researched investigative reporting on the largest agricultural fraud case recorded in the USA. It also recounts the tragic history of Native Americans being forcefully displaced by settlers, American farmers losing their family land to the industrial agriculture gobbling up farmland and water rights across the Columbia Basin and vast swaths of America.

What was that? - Not great. Constant filler. And not worth while filler. The story had interesting potential but the whole time you’re just hearing people say they’re shocked he did it and not actually how it happened. Then the drama of the speculation of the dad passing was just bad journalism. Then there is the awful farming metaphors and her sudden country accent. Just really reaching and bad story telling.

THIS is The Podcast You're Looking For - ...when you think "I wish I could just hear real people chatting about their real (and therefore relatable) lives". Is it perfect? No. Is it the podcast I keep coming back to every time I just want to "hear my friends talk" - Yep. I wrote that^ review years ago, and I’m adding this now because I just now realized both •that the podcast is back, and •just how much I’d missed it. Listening to Stassi and Jackie on that first episode back is everything and I’m just so thrilled to have this one back!

Get rid of the sidekick - I tuned in to get Stassi’s take on the VPR mess. I LOVE Stassi and her delivery. My ears are bleeding from the other girl’s voice. I suffered through the entire podcast because I’m so interested to get everyone’s take on the scandal, but I will not be listening to any further podcasts unless the sidekick isn’t there. HOLY COW she’s so overpowering, and loud, and annoying, and trying way too hard to be relevant! Stassi your voice is so soothing & calm, perfect for podcasting. This Taylor girl is the absolute opposite. I believe I heard her say “ years in radio”, how??? Please consider doing the podcast solo…or with Beau, that would be fine too

Thank you for talking infidelity - Thank you so much for this last VPR deep dive into the TOMRachelGATE situation. I find it healing as a fellow survivor of infidelity of the worst kind where the affair partner is someone you knew and trusted…someone who knew my children and was in our lives first hand for years. This pain was deep and scarring and thank you putting a voice to the gravity of the situation. Society often alienates the betrayed as the crazy guilty party carrying the blame for not doing enough to keep their partner happy. The cheating man is usually just doing what men do and the other woman is just an innocent bystander who didn’t know any better. I’m so tired of that story and tired of people not calling this what it truly is: Pure Evil. The other woman still has yet to apologize to me and it’s been long painful years. My husband told her not to say anything - which was never his right to block my path to healing or forgiveness or just basic acknowledgment of my pain. Agree this is Ariana’s first days of what can ONLY be a better life and future. Not so sure that I agree Tom will suffer too much however. The misogyny is all too still alive and too real in this country. The only thing I do know is that Raquel will take more of the brunt than Tom here…and I still can’t decide whether that is ok or not. She clearly has serious issues but when is society going to realize that men are just as equally culpable here? LOVED this conversation and again thank you for putting a LOUD voice to a so so real and deep pain that needs healing.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 14:22:33 GMT

Scandoval: Something to consider - While I agree Raquel’s behavior is horrific and unforgivable, I hoped you would have discussed the reality that raging narcissists like Sandoval use behavior like love bombing to manipulate women in relationships with them. As the man who is in a year relationship, it was his responsibility to be loyal- I think it’s very likely he fed Raquel ‘woe-is-me my relationship is over’ and ‘I promise I’ll leave her when the time is right’ narratives. After being in an abusive relationship with JK, i can see how influential it could be to get attention, admiration, love, and matching necklaces from a man who is willling to say whatever serves him. I can’t say this means she deserves much sympathy, but add to this the allegation that she was recorded by Tom without her consent-Tom deserves the lion’s share of the public bullying.

Loving the podcast but not Taylor - I’ve never listened to her old podcast and started this one a few months ago and I’m hooked. Stassi has great energy and is a fun host but her co-host Taylor… I dont know how to describe other than her voice is the most annoying thing and should not be in radio. PLEASE REPLACE TAYLOR! She doesn’t bring much and constantly interrupts Stassi so she needs to go.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 17:26:27 GMT

Love Stassi; Taylor S ruined the episode - This is my first time listening & I was very interested in hearing Stassi’s take on the latest VPR news but I couldn’t finish the episode bc of Taylor Strecker… I’m not sure why she’s yelling everything & making it about herself… I don’t know even know if she had anything good to contribute because her delivery is so grating… what I did hear from Stassi was great so I’ll listen to the episodes w/o TS
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 17:26:24 GMT

Welcome back Stassi !!! - Thank you Stassi for speaking up about the Scandoval of it all !!! Team Ariana !!!! We love her and our Queen Katie!! Love you Stassi !! Thank you for coming back to us !!! I’m so happy to welcome you back ! Like a phoenix rising from the ashes!!! You sound amazing!! Can’t wait to hear all your new adventures.

love kristen. luke needs some work. - i love doute so much, her growth and perspective is incredible. but there is a weird element to (frequent!) discussion about how kristen feels guilty for not giving luke sex whenever he wants. luke apparently staring at her when a guest discusses their active sex life like “are you listening??” luke sounds like a th grader who whines incessantly when his gf doesnt want to bang…. might wanna get that in check, isnt coming across well.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 02:24:30 GMT

Love but a little bummed - I love listening to Kristen! Loved her when she was on Vanderpump! Love her take on life and all the things! I just wish we could get through an episode of not hearing a republican dig. I am a conservative but I'm not the crazy right, I do believe in freedom of speech at the same time-I would never personally want to make a dig at anyone for believing differently than I do.
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 15:17:35 GMT

Kristen is amazing! - I genuinely love this podcast- Kristen is so much more than some character edited to make a reality show more scandalous. Her brutal honesty and vulnerability are a breath of fresh air and the exact thing I want to hear on a podcast. Everything she has to say makes me feel like I’m in a room with my best friend, mirroring my exact thoughts and feelings. Luke chimes in at the best times- and seems like a true gem of a guy. My Wednesdays are truly better because of this podcast and I look forward to a new one each week- if I had any complaints, I’d definitely gripe that there aren’t daily episodes. I love it, cannot wait to see what each new podcast holds.
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:20:14 GMT

Kristen Was Right! And is Fab! - I love this podcast, but even more I love that Kristen who I’ve loved since day one providing the shows best moments on VPR is finally validated! She is an incredible podcaster, absolutely gorgeous, and obviously incredibly intelligent. This is a hero’s journey where she was stigmatized and thrown aside then rose yet again as the strong loyal friend. I’m so proud of her and have never met or spoken to her. She easily makes the most poignant remarks with ease podcasting. All the prior outcast now rock stars esp the gays are celebrating you!
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 06:00:30 GMT

Insightful and Engaging - If you're looking for a podcast that offers frank, insightful discussions about love and sex, look no further. This podcast features a dual of knowledgeable and engaging hosts who tackle a wide range of topics related to relationships and sexuality. Kristin, is thoughtful, entertaining, and informative! Her podcast is well worth a listen for anyone interested in love and sex. Highly recommended!

Gratitude - I can’t really put into words. I have never been one to rate and review a podcast, but I am fully invested. I have my own set of demons just like everyone else, but I honestly don’t feel so alone on the hard dark days, when I feel like I am slipping into a dark moment (bpd) I literally listen to either an episode on here or YouTube, and I feel so much better. (It sort of snaps me out of my mental switch. I hope that doesn’t scare either of you about the impact that you have on people. But I can’t wait to see how far you all take this!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 23:29:46 GMT

Love love love - Starting off, I have mixed feelings about certain topics, but overall I love everything that you stand for. I am of the same sex lifestyle, but my wife and I have our designated rolls in the household. Because of your content, our communication skills have improved ten fold and subsequently increased our intimacy with each other. I appreciate everything that you do and fully support you both.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 18:21:45 GMT

Eye opening - I first saw these guys on tik tok and honestly was a little repulsed by the video I saw, until I kept seeing more and more of their videos. I tuned into the podcast after seeing a tik tok about communication, and I have to say it is game changing. I love their relationship, from the openness of communication to just listening how they talk to each other. A lot of the things they are talking about have been very eye opening and I can’t wait to talk to my partner about them and show him these podcasts. Thank you guys so much for being you and speaking the hard truth that people like me had a hard time coming to terms with!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 10:27:52 GMT

Listening at work - I have to say these two are amazing! Brutally honest but in the most loving way. You can truly hear how much they love each other! I have been on the self help journey for the last couple years and this podcast has truly lead me to being the partner I’ve always wanted to be! They give some of the best faith based relationship advice out there and do not hold back on what they believe. Thank you guys!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 23:24:28 GMT

Amazing couple with excellent communication - Y’all, their communication and explaining their thought processes are so refreshing! Even if you don’t think you need relationship advice, give them a shot. I am gleaming information that I can personally use to better my relationship with my husband and others in our lives. Keep in mind, all marriages can benefit from content like this! Our marriage is strong, and he is my best friend, but I still seek out information to help me be a better wife and vice versa. Progress always.

LOVE THE POD - I am a day one listener, I’m married and have been in a relationship for the past years but I still love to listen. Love all of the banter between Jordana and Jared. Had to take a stand, reading some of these reviews. Life ebbs and flows and Jared is just in a time in his life which is REFRESHING we all go through difficult times and it’s nice to relate too dating or not. Love the dynamic of these two and shout out to maddy and the teachers husband in the back!
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 17:05:11 GMT

Jared is so repetitive and can’t see others’ POV - Love the show and been a subscriber for years. I am so sick of hearing Jared saying the same stuff over and over. I appreciated that Jordana was more explicit with this ep on therapy but Jared repeated the same things he’s said for a year. He can’t get over the hump of a first date, he doesn’t get what therapists do, he’s lazy abt dating and that sounds bad blah blah blah. I am very close to unsubscribing. He was different a few years ago, and the podcast was much better for it bc he was more open-minded and less against women. He was going to push back against what Adam Pally said, he started to, and then Adam kept going and was so strong in his POV that Jared agreed. Jordana, please be stronger in your push back bc he needs it and the podcast needs it.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 16:05:43 GMT

Dump Jared - Edited: Hey Betches, at what point is Jared a liability for your brand? I’m -year listener on the verge of unsubscribing, seems like I’m not the only one. Jared has always been regressive, but now he’s bordering on incel and i can’t listen to his mediocre white man whining much longer. Adam Pally was a breath of fresh air- please save the podcast and find a male host who is capable of some reflection.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 15:37:06 GMT

Jordana, if you’re reading this - Love the pod but it’s riding the struggle bus as of late. .) Jared - you’re burnt out and you need a break. A good vacation (not Fra), some time off podcasting, and some therapy in no particular order. .) I don’t mind a long intro, but having to hear some shallow New York Times article on modern dating or Jared’s dating rants for the th time is getting extremely old and stale, and it’s limiting the number of emails you get to. .) Idk if it’s a quality control issue or what, but mix up the emails a little bit. They’re getting repetitive. I’m not sure if only certain ones are being chosen by the production crew but if I have to hear another dumb email by a year old whose college boyfriend of years won’t commit or some woman who has given her man too many chances, I’m gonna lose it. There has to be other topics in the mail bag - and if there aren’t, please let us know and we will happily think of things to discuss. Ask for specifics if needed!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 19:49:35 GMT

One big commercial - I’m a fan of this podcast but lately it has been feeling like one big commercial. The advertisements themselves are SO long but also the first / minutes of the show are spent promoting Jared’s upcoming shows, other podcasts, local NY restaurants, etc. And then, right when you feel you’re about to “get into it,” god forbid the person writing in is a subscriber. Because then you get pitched to subscribed, which inevitably turns into a commercial for the YouTube channel. Feels like only -% of the show is actual content at this point. Please increase actual content! You guys have interesting insights and it’s fun to listen to, but I’m losing interest at this point as it feels like my time is being wasted.
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 15:29:03 GMT

Love Jordana! - This review would have been five stars a year ago but at this point I’m mainly returning for Jordana. As a fellow anxious dater, it’s so helpful to know that you’re not alone in this and I really appreciated her perspective and vulnerability on her journey with this. Absolutely loved Adam Pally as a guest host with a refreshingly healthy male perspective. Docking one star and echoing prior comments about Jared and his attitude toward women and dating. I think Jordana has done a good job gently pushing back, particularly with Jared’s primitive views on therapy which were cringeworthy to listen to. Bring back Adam Pally as a male cohost with Jordana!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 17:39:37 GMT

Love, just one thing! - I love listening to this podcast! It is great for commutes, the gym, a walk or hanging around the house. I have just one thing that I personally would like to see improved. Maybe in the description of the episode the team can put time stamps on when different sections would happen. I feel lately the openings get really long. Some days I’m into it some days I’m not. For example today the opening today went about minutes. Awkward sex was shortly after then the first email wasn't until minutes or so. It would be nice to know where we can fast forward to. Thanks!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:26:45 GMT

Jordana is the lifeblood of the pod! - Jordana keeps me listening. She is reasonable, realistic, and levelheaded and provides thoughtful advice with solid humor. Jared, on the other hand, has got to go. To me, he seems so angry, anti-dating, anti-woman, and hateful. If he hates dating and hates women wanting to date, why is did he make himself the spokesperson for the male dating perspective? His jaded perspective is sending the wrong message to listeners. This is NOT how all men think and I don’t believe he’s “% away” anymore. It would be like if jordana hated RHONJ so much that the mention of it set her off, yet she continued to host “mention it all.” Time to go, Jared! Glad to have the oversharing podcast now to keep my jordana fix. Sad to have had to cancel my benefits subscription but Jared’s most recent anti-therapy episode was brutal. I feel for him deep down because I’m sure he’s struggling but he doesn’t need a platform while he’s like this. Keeping star rating because I don’t want to mess with the charts, though!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 13:01:25 GMT

Great podcast - I want to echo another recent review that was defending Jared! I started listening to this podcast because of him (is/was a J Train listener) and got to “know” and appreciate Jordana along the way. He’s being genuine about where he is in life at the moment, while still making us laugh. So tired of everyone wanting every detail of a podcast exactly how they want it to be. Also I love the long intros. Not sure why people don’t want more content from podcasts they like. There is always the pause button!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 02:06:12 GMT

Love but becoming repetitive - Jared has a relationship with the dating apps like a girl has a toxic situationship. He’s constantly deleting and re-downloading them like a girl deletes and re-adds the number of a guy who doesn’t want to commit to her but will breadcrumb her along It’s almost painful and becoming repetitive to hear how he’s clearly addicted to the dopamine bursts of validation he gets from swiping on the apps. It seems like every third benefits episode is him talking about how he’s deleted and redownloaded them and the dialogue around that convo is the same. I still love him though, he’s super funny. Just seems like he’s stuck in this cycle. Jordana, you’re amazing.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 16:27:03 GMT

Good lord - Jordana god bless you for putting up with Jared. The latest benefits episode was insane. Jared denying that therapy would help or failing to see HOW BADLY HE NEEDS It. It’s insane, frustrating, has been mentioned in numerous reviews- admin, anyone, Maddie, Jorge, betches…. SEND JARED TO THERAPY ASAP ITS RUINING THE POD. p.s. the stark contrast between Adam palley & him was sooo clear.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 02:02:09 GMT

Absolutely amazing podcast - Favorite podcast ever. I’ve listened to every single episode. My boyfriend secretly loves it as well. Both of you are so lovable and relatable! I’m Jewish and feel like I’m hanging out with my family. Very few people make me laugh… and Jared you do it! I appreciate that you both are unfiltered and opinionated in a time where it’s unfortunately dangerous to be so. Please don’t change. Adam Pally is amazing! What a great guest!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 22:52:26 GMT

Jared go to therapy! - I have enjoyed listening over the last year but the last few months have been repetitive and it’s due to Jared and his issues. I am so happy that Jordana finally told him to go to therapy today! Long overdue. Therapy is amazing and Jared is in need of understanding why he doesn’t want a girlfriend. I loved the e way Jordana explained the process to him - I completely agree with her. Jared put some time and money towards understanding yourself for the good of you and the listeners!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 22:38:00 GMT

More Adam Pally! - Was so refreshing to hear from a man who actually values building a partnership, love what Adam said about not “letting go of the rope” and his no-filter response to that awful emailer. I used to love listening to Jared, but he doesn’t seem like he’s in a good headspace to be dating right now and it’s been frustrating to hear him talk himself in circles for months. Hoping he takes Jordana’s advice to try out a therapist, or even a few different therapists, and hoping he finds someone he vibes with that helps him.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 21:56:30 GMT

Best / Favorite Podcast - MORE ADAM PALLY PLEASE. Can’t wait to hear “I’m Jordan’s Adbraham, and I’m Adam Pally welcome to the U Up podcast” Editing my original review. Love the show and look forward to listening weekly but Jared is starting to lean away from “defending the undefendable, and showing the guys perspective” and leaning into, bitter, cynical, thinking women are all crazy. Getting a little cringe. It’s let’s believe women and not gaslight them for having feelings.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 14:11:58 GMT

Ugh - EXTREMELY shocked and disappointed in this week’s Sunday special. No matter how problematic you think someone’s behavior is, they should never be met with comments implying/explicitly stating that they should kill themselves. All in minutes I heard that he should drive off a cliff, get the bad covid, fall in a sewer drain and get hit by a bus. Suicide is never a funny “joke”. Bummed that this was seen as a “funny” episode….
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 08:54:14 GMT

More Adam Pally, Less Violet Benson - This week’s Sunday Special was a breath of fresh air after the terrible episode last week. I’m going to echo other reviewers on here and ask that you don’t invite Violet back. I could barely get through it and warned my friends off listening to the episode, it was that bad. Adam was great this week. Obviously there wasn’t much difference of opinion over the letter writer but it was still great to see the strong yet hilarious takes from Jordana, Jared, and Adam. I’d like to request Yamaneika as a guest. She is a fan favorite on the JTrain podcast and I think she would bring such a great perspective to the show. She is also hilarious and her comments always have me laughing. Thanks for considering and keep up the great work!
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 02:56:40 GMT

The Best - I’ve been a huge fan of the pod for years now and a benefits subscriber! I really appreciate Jared’s raw and honest feelings and stories about his dating life. As a single woman in my s who’s been on the dating scene for a while, I can % relate and it makes me feel less alone with these feelings/frustrations. The reason why we all love you so much is that you’re so real with relatable humor. Please never stop sharing your personal life on the pod! Also, your intros are always entertaining not too long! Keep up the great work, J&J!
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 17:55:15 GMT

Particularly Loved - The Adam Pally guest episode! Hot take on having general human decency standards and so refreshing to hear compared to the condoning of mediocrity and thinking of people as less than human beings! Very into the strong stance :) Been a listener for years. J&J wisdom remains tried and true bringing us back to choosing what’s best for ourselves and having discernment. Thanks guys!
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 15:51:04 GMT

Love J&J!!’ - I love this podcast- been listening since the beginning and they have changed my entire perspective on relationships both romantic and otherwise. I’ve recommended the podcast to many friends, and it’s my go to every week. I find myself loling often! However….violet benson on the recent episode was insufferable. It’s the first episode I had to delete because I couldn’t bear to listen to her… when she told Jared to “grow up” I wanted to jump through my phone and defend him/yell right back at her (Jared I appreciate that you were very professional and polite)…. Anyway. Keep up the great work. You guys don’t need stupid guests and are enough in your own
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:54:25 GMT

I love the new SOS episodes! Also love other Betches podcast hosts as guests - Can you have KayYorkCity on as a guest? She’d be awesome! I love episodes where other Betches podcast hosts join like Dr. Naomi (I’d love it if she came back again too). Also love the new SOS episodes, I like hearing from the audience. Jared and Jordana make me laugh every single episode! They both have helped me feel more confident in my dating life. They also remind me to make sure I have fun while dating (which I can sometimes forget lol). I love how they catch up with each other at the start of the episode, it makes me feel like I get to know them as people. Keep up the good work!!! I still die laughing thinking about the awkward story with the poo in the cat litter box - literally the funniest thing I have ever heard
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 00:23:36 GMT

star show with a star guest - I have to echo the other reviews on this one begging you not to invite violet again. You guys usually have such great guests and this is such a downgrade. She is the epitome of what I think Jared refers to as millennial mad libs (if I remember correctly?) lol but in all seriousness, she sounds like if you put all the frequently used buzz words/phrases on Twitter into a machine and made it come up with full sentences. She has never had an original thought in her life and she seems to have gained fame because checks notes she started stealing peoples memes and posting them as her own before anyone else had the idea to do that? Anyway I know I’m just one little reviewer lol but I’m not docking you guys any stars because y’all are fantastic otherwise. I’m a benefits subscriber too and don’t have any intention of unsubscribing but please don’t bring her on again. This is the first episode ever that you guys have put out that I won’t be listening to in its entirety.
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 10:23:09 GMT

JARED - loved the pod for years now but jared’s dating life is such a downer lately for a single girl his age also trying to date. he’s starting to give me very little hope and i find myself starting to actually worry about him. as someone who cares, maybe he should start going to therapy or at least try to drink less or i dunno stop ordering $ of unhealthy chinese food late at night. you gotta help yourself man. edit; he keeps getting worse, i don’t ever want to hear about his dating life again. jordana don’t you see these reviews? call him out privately and let him know he’s driving away long time listeners.

Go Jared - I remember when I first came across Shans Instagram. She popped up on my news feed wearing a sexy nurse costume and celebrated HO-Halloween. This is when I knew I had to learn more about her!!! I’ve listened to every single episode each week faithfully. I’ve been able to relate to all of them in someway and I feel I’ve somehow grew mentally and emotionally from listening. Listening to this show has increased my vocabulary, expand my mind, and has helped me worry less about judgement as I’ve learned we are all out here winging. I’ve come to realize that we worry so much about being accepted and viewed as “normal” but none of us are normal really, we’re all pretty much the same. All of us are battling something behind closed doors and just want to be accepted. I’m so grateful to have came across Shans podcast, it’s truly helped me appreciate and love myself so much more. As for Jarred, I’m so impressed with how well he expressed himself here in the last segment. I remember watching an old YouTube video and he mentioned not being able to express himself how he’d like. He’s done so great over the years and you two are just so beautiful together. Y’all are my couplegoals Love, Judy Ig: judysworld__

Saw you on Catfish!!!! - I discovered this podcast through your appearance on a another podcast, where I was struck by your humor and intelligence. I went back and listened to every episode, and am always excited for the next drop! I’m writing this review from the couch as I am watching you drive off from meeting your “catfish” on the latest episode of the MTV show. As a long time viewer, you killed it! Love seeing you on my TV! As a big supporter of both platforms, I’d be eager to hear how the experience was for you. Did you watch the episode back? Did you have to prepare a lot to be on television? Did you have fun? I’ll continue to rate and review, thank you for all that you do!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 01:00:27 GMT

My Fave Weekly Show - I absolutely love the way you lay out your podcast; I know I’ll hear a spicy quote in the beginning, cue the “Lovers and Friends” intro music, then you take us on a ride with your guest. I love the range in topics and I even started sharing it with my boyfriend so we listen to it together from time to time. I absolutely love what you are doing and you inspire me to take care of my friendships, my lover and most importantly myself in the best way I can. Thank you!!

Can you connect through a Podcast? - Connecting or having conversations with folks surrounding me can be so difficult because of the lack of depth and understanding I feel from their behalf. Having the privilege to have stumbled across this Podcast has been my highlight of the year! I feel like when I tune into an episode I am part of the conversation and I am left feeling like I got my daily dose of socializing. I absolutely love taking whatever I hear and discussing it with my lover / Highly recommend

Incredible Thought-Provoking Content - I have been binge listening your content since the beginning of this year. I’m always walking around with my wireless earpiece listening to your podcast and I’m sure I have gotten several side-eyes from randomly bursting with laughter while at work. Your content literally gets me through the day. If you’ve had any doubt about whether or not you are accomplishing the initial goal of this podcast, let me be the one to tell you that in my opinion you have very successfully integrated entertaining and informative content. I have learned soooo much from listening and I pray you continue sharing these gems with the world.

New Format - Hi Shan!!! I love your show and have been listening for almost two years. Super thankful for all the gems that have made my life better and the amazing guests you’ve had on the show; however, the new format makes me feel like I’m an outsider to the conversation. Almost as if you and your guests are talking over my head and there’s missing information in the episode. I hope this is received in love. I still ADORE this show and will continue to support!
Sat, 18 Mar 2023 01:50:09 GMT

/ beautiful podcast - Shan is such an intelligent, beautiful, intriguing, well thought out human that I’ve very much enjoyed listening to over the past years. The way she explains everything, the vulnerability and honesty of her being, and the perspectives and poise she brings to this podcast is like no other. I have learned so much from this podcast alone. Thank you for all you do and for putting yourself out there for the benefit of others!

Shan and Jared after Kids - I love this podcast and I always tune in. This specific episode was so raw and so real. I am single without kids and it def gave me a lot to think about in all the best ways. This is also the first time I really “saw” Jared. I’ve always “saw” Shan but this episode helped me to catch a glimpse of y’all as a unit and really hold space for what y’all have. I would love to hear about what an open relationship for y’all looks like and how often you both step out of the relationship to be with other lovers. After hearing this episode I just can’t believe that you both don’t exist on your own planet with only your kids. There was so much love during this episode. It was so beautiful.

Amazing, thought provoking, relatable podcast you didn’t know you needed - I came here to say I never felt more seen especially watching that friends episode, just to see someone else already commented that exact thing lol but that’s testament to the amazing work you are doing. I’m going through such a tough time rn figuring myself and life out, and navigating all the obstacles that comes with growing and healing. And this podcast has been such a monumental part of that journey. Thank you for the work you’re putting into creating this Shan, and thank you to the guest for sharing such intimate parts of your lives
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 02:18:30 GMT

Such valuable and honest conversations! - I love, love, love this podcast. I’ve been listening to it for a long time but I think one of the most vulnerable and hard hitting episodes to date is the recent one on friendships. So many valuable nuggets of truth and wisdom, and such interesting perspectives. Shan has such great rapport and interviewing style with her guests, and is very forthcoming and leads with honesty regarding her own relationships. I appreciate her open mindedness, the way she disarms guests with compassion and genuine listening, and the way she constantly evolves as a content creator with integrity.
Thu, 09 Mar 2023 06:51:06 GMT

For the lovers, and FRIENDS! - I’ve been listening for over a year and have always been impressed by Shan’s topics and interview questions. The Friendship episode really hit a cord for me. My friendship style closely resembles Tabia’s (without the kids) and I LIVE for the discussions around friendships. Throughout my life I have always felt more enriched by platonic relationships over romantic ones. I think people need to talk about friendships more often. Thank you for discussing this so I have another one of your links to send to all my girls.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 22:52:33 GMT

No one does it like Shan! - I love love love Shan and have been a huge fan of hers for years. This podcast is the highlight of my week and I always look forward to listening to it on Wednesday mornings on my commute to work. Her topics, guests, and can I add ad placements? are amazing! I normally skip through ad placements but Shan somehow finds ways to connect them to her show and I love it! Props to Shan for creating such an engaging podcast, keep up the amazing work.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 21:53:13 GMT

So many “ah- ha moments” - When I tell you I am SUCH a fan… Your vulnerability, love, wisdom, and of course your spicy side has opened me up to so much. I constantly incorporate the things I learn, emotionally AND physically, in both my platonic and romantic relationships. One thing listeners can really learn from you is how you hold space for people that might think differently, and then turn that knowledge into an objective statement that empathizes with a thought process that might be very different from our own views. Thank you deeply for sharing all that you do.

Had to get a tutorial to Leave review! - Hi Shan Boodram! I am such a fan of the show! I am new to podcast and I started with Kamie’s podcast! And she introduced me to you! I love your contest, how you give your opinion based on your experience but also have the research to back you up! I wanted to leave you a review forever and as ignorant as this sounds! I did not know how to, I had to Google it lol! Two of my favorite episodes are the row recent ones! The one talking about sex with your husband and the one talking about “soulmate becoming your ex” which by the way you scared me thinking you and your hubby had broken up! Anyways love your work and will forever be a fan! -Gladys A. From Mass

Soulmates - The different types of soulmates was by far my favorite episode.. I definitely made me reflect on some of my past relationships and forced me to get real with myself as to why I am content with my current single status for the past years. As always your topics are thought provoking and I love that about your podcast!! If there was one topic I would like to hear more about it would be finding your life partner later in life.

Loved this Q&A episode with Jared!! - Loved all the questions on here. I related to a couple of them as a woman who struggles with vaginismus & a bisexual woman who is in two separate relationships currently with a man and a woman. I appreciated Jared’s perspective on all the questions, especially the one about vaginismus as my male partner & I both agree that it’s better to just be honest about the condition and seek medical help. It is definitely more of a pyschological process than physical, so my recommendation is to talk openly about it with your partner & have sex when it feels natural and when you and your body feel open to it. And lube… lots of lube!! Also wanted to make an episode suggestion for topics on polyamory, late blooming lesbians, and someone who is opening their relationship but not in a thruple way, just having more than one partner, etc. Love the pod & have been a fan for a while!! :)

For one of my soul mates! - Shan! I’ve been following you for some years now and I continue to be Intrigued!!! (I LOVE LOVE EVERYTHING YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DOES AND REPRESENTS) In one of your previous episodes you mentioned how you started to get bv or utis when you would hook up with an ex. I would be so interested in knowing more about that? I would be interesting to hear more about the mind, body, and “soul” connection for people during sex. :)
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 13:18:08 GMT

Love you long time, Shan! - I’ve been following Shan for years and have much respect for her as a pioneer in the sex/love/relationship space. Her journey has been awesome to witness! The topics and conversations she has on this pod are always so intentional, meaningful, and real. Would love to hear more on polyamorous relationships, thruples, etc experiences with inviting additional individuals into the bedroom while in a monogamous relationship. Keep doing your thing girl!

This podcast makes me happy - Oh Shan, I really love you and this podcast! I always seem to listen to you when I’m cooking, and I think this podcast actually makes my food taste better lol! I’ve learned a lot about the world and myself because each episode give me the opportunity to reflect on my own experiences and choices. I love every episode I’ve heard, but I found the herpes, “men’s ego”, and gaslighting episodes to be particularly interesting, and would love to hear an episode about HIV/AIDS and one about why women need platonic friendships with other women. I’m looking forward to your interview with Raye, and wish that listeners could submit questions to your guests beforehand. Thank you!

Wrong one! - I’ve been a fan for quite sometime but I hate Whitty is leaving but he’s the wrong one. What do the Cote’s have on you Dan ? Chris Cote lowers your show sooo much . He’s incompetent and just spends the hours begging for laughs for his poor attempt at humor. He and Billy Gil are the sole reasons I fast forward through some of the episodes. He really and truly is the most annoying character on any show I’ve ever watched or listened to. Billy Gil is his runner-up! And I also done a backflip when Mike Ryan left . Great get of Pablo though . He’s great
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 09:56:24 GMT

% sports % nonsense - If you want sports this may not be the show for you. Every time Dan wants to start a conversation in sports mike Ryan just shuts him down to speak about something stupid or an univ. Miami team that none cares about. Stu and Roy always great. Billy always awful talking about nonsensical stuff and Chris cote making awful jokes. They also have an annoying lady that calls everyone old and wants some sort of conversation about women’s sport or tik toks even though they never speak about sports, and some dude named tony that is terrible.

Dannnnnnnnnn - I've said it before. I'll say it again. In case people haven't been paying attention. For a couple of weeks. Dan. We've got a March. There's so much sports. I can't wait. To talk about Domantas Sabonis. For minutes. The Domantas-inator. I think I speak for everyone. When I say. Bert Kreisher. Was delightful. Just be careful. With the Rogan pals. They're fun. When used sparingly. Like sugar. Back when the food pyramid. Was taught in schools. Just be careful, Dan. I care about you. Dan LeBatard. An overly-technical analysis of Tom Segura's rise in comedy. Collision course. Juju Gotti. Crushed the Looks Like Game. One might call his delivery. Gracefully barbarous. Juju of course. Knows what barbarous means. But you might wanna explain it. To Chris Cote. Speaking of whom. We sure, Chris? I'm not saying don't. I'm just asking the question. You're sure? David Samson. Twice In one week. The hll did we do to you guys? Speaking of hll. Art Briles. Dan. Those. Are the podcast. Observations.

I don’t get the show any more :( - A formerly iconic and brilliant parody of a sports talk radio show with excellent music drops that was appointment listening, deftly balancing hilariously ironic comedy with scathing social commentary, now just another mediocre and too long podcast that literally devolves into talking about each others pooping habits in great detail almost every single day (I wish I was exaggerating). I used to love “The Show” with a passion and recommend it a lot, but I had to break up with it recently because it’s just too often thin on good segments these days, especially when Dan is out
Thu, 16 Mar 2023 17:54:12 GMT

Idk how to say it - So I was introduced to the show back in the ESPN day by my friend he sadly passed away I listen every day cause I know how much we both loved the show and the little inside jokes we had with each other about the show. I really am glad that you guys do this you have no idea how much you help me just get through the day by crap so just thank you for everything guys. Life is hard and you all really bring a smile to my face every day

The Best Podcast Out There!!! - I first started listening to The Dan LeBatard Show, when they were still on ESPN, back in , and at the time, I could not believe that I had not been listening to this show on the regular and was kicking myself! I was equally shocked and admittedly disappointed when ESPN allowed these gems to go off their air, but that was their huge mistake, but a blessing in disguise for the LeBatard Team! I have listened to every podcast since their departure and am a loyalist to heat they bring, as we are not just taking sports, but we are talking social and political issues. Their Team are more than willing to poke fun at themselves. The chemistry between Dan and Stu are unmatched! I could go on, but o think I would start to note the reader of this review, so I will close here.

An absolute must listen - Love the podcast. All the episodes that I have listened to/watched, so far (all but ) are very entertaining and very insightful. Speaking of being insightful, the March , episode with Daniel Jeremiah should be mandatory listening for all fans of the NFL. I thought I knew alot about football, the draft and how players are evaluated, but the discussion between Jason & DJ took that knowledge to a whole new level. Keep up the good work fellas!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 18:33:01 GMT

Much like my Bros - Love these two. They remind me so much of my own brothers…I have three. The way they snipe at each other…lovingly. They are hilarious! I’m a long time Eagles fan…back to Concrete Charlie, Pete Retzlaff and Tommy Mc Donald…I was then . Despite my Eagles love, I’ve adopted the Chiefs as my since Andy went there. These two guys rep their teams perfectly and provide a lot of good info and insights as well as entertainment!
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 02:26:22 GMT

Best of all the podcasts - I’ve only seen a few episodes and this is so good and I love football but I like never hear about it except the damar Hamlin and find this podcast amazing and kind of funny and some of the episodes. The first episode I have ever watched on this podcast was the which animal would be the best at football and that gave me the knowledge I’m gonna love this podcast. So far this is the best podcast ever. Five stars for a reason. And you guys should call the fans the new heights hustlers because we always listen about football.
Wed, 08 Mar 2023 02:30:11 GMT

So much fun - I found this show after the Super Bowl, and I am really enjoying listening to each podcast, knowing how the season winds up for both brothers. I’m a long-time KC Chiefs fan ( years), and Travis is one of my all-time faves. Listening to this podcast, I’m really enjoying learning more about Jason. He is so excitable and hilarious to TK’s chill (unless he’s defending Arrowhead or screaming “you gotta fight…”). I don’t normally listen to sports talk shows, but I love listening to their recaps of each week. Most entertaining podcast on my list!
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 11:34:38 GMT

Class act Kelce’s - From the moment Travis was a rookie I joked to everyone he was my fantasy husband. (He’s like my sons age I think. Hahah) my husband knew this and it was all in fun. Not only so handsome but you just knew he was going to be something great. And each year he got better, he got more humble. My boys are big football players and Travis and Patrick are their role models. They don’t miss anything they are associated with. Now comes in Jason! Holy moly. Can I have two fantasy husbands? Haha. For real though, their podcast is the coolest thing since football was invented. I love this duo and you just know their parents have got to be so proud of them. I love listening to their podcasts as they are very entertaining. We get their opinions on the weekly games and also some things in their personal life. I love hearing about their mom. I hope someday if my boys make it big they talk about me like these two talk about their mom. This is one family that genuinely loves each other. If you haven’t listened to their podcast yet you are missing out. Listen to it now! Thank you Jason and Travis for giving us this entertainment. It’s not always easy putting yourself out there so we do appreciate it. PS: my dream is to meet Travis in person and my boys so they can meet their role model. Jason would be a bonus! So Travis , if you ever feel like making this Kansas Mom happy well I’m sure you can respond to this .

What I’ve been looking for - After listening to his past show, I can very confidently say that by himself, Mark Titus is much better. The previous show got too jokey at times in my opinion. This new version of Titus is very informative, dishes out valuable insight from a very great basketball mind, and has high profile guests who contribute to the conversation. While still entertaining, the new Titus show is much more information driven, and I love the high quality basketball conversation.
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 19:22:13 GMT

Go with OSP if you only have time for one. Listen to this if you have time for two. - When I can fit it in, I listen to this after Tate and OSP that has been better quality so far. This is too long and really depends on Titus’s rapport with the guest. Might upgrade to stars if Titus drops the gambling content substantially and makes Jake a consistent guest (once a week similar to Kyle Mann on OSP).
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:32:20 GMT

The cbb podcast Barstool needed - This is a great college basketball podcast. It has the casual fun Barstool platform with real cbb insights from a professional. Keep Jake Marsh on the show him and Titus are such a great combo. Please do not bring in an active player to cohost. The other show gets to one sided on the players team and conference. The only thing this podcast is missing is a little more gambling insight.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 13:58:56 GMT

Just meh - I have been a Titus & Tate fan since the beginning. I was really sad to see them head in different directions, but I get that these things happen. I have given both new pods a shot, and Mark’s unfortunately falls flat. I am new to Barstool pods, but thought they had a rep for being funny/edgy/entertaining. They are pairing him with some of the blandest, least interesting personalities around. Mark is really trying to draw something (ANYTHING) out of people like Jake Marsh (who does seem like a very nice guy), but it is not working. Someone needs to drop whatever bag it takes to get Titus & Tate back together.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 20:43:13 GMT

Great show, Too much gambling talk - I have been a long time fan of Titus since the Grantland days. He gives great basketball info but also makes it fun and interesting. Not a huge fan of the Barstool “bros” other than Jake he seems cool, but luckily this is mostly Titus. My only reservation is I could do without the gambling talk. I seem to remember a Titus rant not too long ago on why it was a bad idea to gamble on sports, especially college basketball. I get it, you have to appease your employers but maybe save it for the end of the show so the true basketball fans can tune out you guys talking about how you missed your parlay or whatever.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 20:29:20 GMT

Will change to stars if Jake is permanent co-host - Been a fan since OSP v sad about the breakup. The first few episodes have been mid, but there is great chemistry with Jake on here, I’ve never been a huge Jake fan but he’s in his element and this works. Throw in Katie stats every once and awhile for a stat report and Rico for a “digging up the crumbs” segment and this show could be an incredibly entertaining and have seriously good college basketball information A strictly fooling around show wouldn’t work because Mark isn’t that funny, but a mostly serious show would work super well
Fri, 17 Mar 2023 18:30:33 GMT

Great with Jake - Been following Titus since his Club Trillion blog days. I honestly loved the pairing of him with Jake Marsh. Loved it. I think Jake would be an excellent long term co-host with Titus because they complement each other so well. Jake is the “straight guy” while Titus can be the “funny guy”. They’re cut from similar cloths, but not too similar that they overlap and step on each others toes. Both have significant experience in college basketball but from different parts of the country and from different roles. I always felt like Tate tried a little too hard to make the jokes and references that Titus would naturally knock out of the park. Tate needed to be more of a “content and drive the show” guy. Jake would be excellent at that and Titus can just do his thing. Anyways, love the stuff, Go Bucks!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 23:13:23 GMT

My guy - Before this show, if you asked Coach Cal about the college basketball coverage at barstool he’d say something like “there just kids.” If he were talking about this show he’d say “Mark Titus is my guy.” That’s how I feel. Mark is my guy. College Basketball has always been my favorite sport. Mark does a great job breaking down everything going on in college basketball from the everyday man’s perspective.

Mailbag - In a team roto draft I went with the Chris Towers strategy, and took my first pitcher, Kyle Wright in the th round (I believe Chris took his first in the th). I think it went well. What do you guys think? Varsho, Goldy, Albies, JRam, Lindor, Schwarber, S. Marte, Reynolds, Miguel Vargas, Cronenworth, Jordan Walker and Riley Greene. Pitchers: Wright, Rasmussen, A. Diaz, Barlow, Evan Phillips, Mikolas, Grayson Rod, Merrill Kelly, McCullers, Boxberger and Ottavino. Taking a wait and see approach with potential closers and going to add another SP when McCullers is added to IL. All in all I don’t think it’s a bad strategy. We’ll see how it all turns out.

On Fantasy Pros & yahoo, they are both listed as SP/RP’s.

It is a genuine, thoughtful, fun show. Scott, Frank and Chris (and now the other Chris) bring valuable analysis to the table, too: I’ve won my league a bunch of times thanks almost entirely to these guys (plus really good fortune).

Awesome Podcast - Hey Athos, Aramis, and Porthos, love the show and listen every day. things: first, a team name Tuesday submission: “El Deversending Story” (I wanted to do “the” but ran out of characters). Second, my pitching rotation in my team HH points league is Burnes, Alcantara, F. Valdez, N. Cortes, Greene, Sale, and Luzardo, with Patrick Sandoval on the bench (no reliever requirements). I really like Edward Cabrera’s stuff and upside; is there anyone in the rotation that I could drop for him, or is he too much of a risk? Also, do you see any potential holes/risks in who I have? I know there are some concerns about Greene’s team context and environment, but overall I feel pretty good about this group. Am I missing anything? Thank you, and go Sox! -John

Rodon - In a CBS daily team roto keeper league. Planning on keeping Rodon for an th round pick. Still seems like a good value, even with the forearm concern. Also keeping Ohtani with a th rounder; and because it’s a daily league I can get his full value. Prior to Rodon’s injury, I was planning to wait on drafting SP, because I had two very strong SP keepers in him and Ohtani. Now that Rodon is going on IL, how much, if it all, should it impact my strategy RE: drafting SP? Should I now consider taking an SP with my rd or th pick? (Planning on addressing OF and B with first and second, per the Scott White strategy.)

Dear Chazz, Pip and Rex - Love the show! I play in a team x roto(OPS) keeper league. My keepers are Tucker(th), Burnes(th), Ohtani(th) & J-Rod(th). Am I crazy to try to flip one of these guys for a st round pick to keep Carroll in the th? And which player would you try to deal? For context Goldschmidt would be the th best hitter when factoring other keepers. So essentially would you trade one of those for Carroll and at worst Goldschmidt?

Ohtani - A question for your CBS podcast mailbag... @ScottWhite @Frank Stampfl @Chris Towers Why can't CBS accommodate Shohei Ohtani and allow owners to play him at both Pitcher & Hitter in the same week? Ohtani is a generational talent and we are now at the point where he deserves to be considered/allowed to be played at BOTH positions as the Angels are using him. He was the MVP in and the runner-up in all because he is a UNICORN and can both pitch and hit. CBS Fantasy baseball should allow leagues and owners to "choose" how they want to allow him to be used? Our league - The Lounge Baseball Association (started in and has used CBS since ) would like to be able to change with the times and we are considering leaving CBS this year to do so!

We are also starting this year using a category called QA in place of QS, basically we get a point for this category if the pitcher has IP with less than . ERA. Knowing these categories which pitcher would you choose out of M. Kelly, D. Rassmussen, Berrios, J. Springs, or J. Montgomery? Thanks!

Hi Richard, Erlich, Gilfoyle and Dinesh - In a team HH daily lineup points league with keepers I have the third pick. I am already keeping Tatis, Julio Rodriguez, Michael Harris, Clase and Strider. Based on my keepers how would you rank Judge, Acuna, Ramirez, Soto, Betts, Freeman and Turner? This is a OF league with an IF spot. I really like Betts to get an edge on B but seems to early to draft him.

If Scott tells me to fade puppies, sunny days, and baths….well, you can catch me in a raincoat with my new cat in the shower. That said you guys helped me build an awesome roster last year and it’s time to pick keepers from the following in a team HH daily categories league. You can keep them forever. I have to choose from: Trea Turner, Soto, Machado, Altulve, Michael Harris, Arozarena, Albies, Verlander, Rodon, Devin Williams, Varsho, Vinnie P, and Oneil Cruz Thank you gentleman for all your insight and banter.

HH Points Draft One Week into Spring Training - Dear Voight, Ruzek, and Atwater, I’m part of a long running team head to head points (daily lineup changes) league. Due to everybodys work schedules and what not, we are being forced to draft very early this year (This Sunday, //. Needless to say, this is less than ideal. We have only a week of spring training to observe players, setting aside the injury risk and what not that comes over the following few weeks. I know you can really based a draft off of one week of performance in Spring. That said, what players are worth paying extra attention to this week based only off of their performance thus far and their potential to keep on keeping on and/or improve? Specifically, players we weren’t really thinking about prior to the spring, or at least not to this extent. Love the show, keep up the great work! Cole

I’m already keeping Yordan (rd) Ohtani th (pitcher & hitter) Should I keep Brandon Woodruff in the th or Vinnie P (baby) in the th? The more talented player is definitely Woodruff but the value, position, and long term keeper lean is with Vinnie P. Seems like a tough call. Love you guys, keep up the great work!

Great show longtime listener (Question inside!) - I’ve been a regular listener of this podcast for years and love the dynamic right now with Frank, Scott, and Chris. The amount of content is always good and I appreciate the pre planning that goes into the show. I really like how much attention the analysis pays to things I care about as a fantasy player like ranking and adp context, like: for drafts, “these players are going around him- what do you think”; in season it’s: “these players are ranked around him”…etc. I’d recommend this show to any fantasy player. Keeper question for the crew: team categories league with OF positions and UTILs, no corner or middle slots. Keep players at round they were drafted for up to years with one round inflation every year. I’m keeping Devers (), Alvarez (), and Burnes (). Would you keep Soto (, final year), Goldy (), Olson (), or Carroll (, first year)? The top end player crop being thrown back this year includes Turner, Acuna, J Ram, Vlad, Freeman, Betts, Alonso, Cole, and possibly Trout and/or Altuve, and I draft th overall so I’m curious who I’d get back if I threw Soto back in. Sorry for the long question— thank you! Matt D

Was better with Chris - I’ve listened for years, and it feels more and more like more regurgitation about big markets and big news. They aren’t saying anything new at this point and they cater more toward their personal fandoms. There’s a more direct “screw you” attitude I just can’t get down with anymore. At least when Chris was around, there was valid reasoning behind his attitude. This just feels like being jerks for the sake of it.

A genuine critique - I love listening to these guys. I’ve listened to this show consistently for about - years now so this is my honest opinion from watching the show evolve over the years. I think since Wess passed the show has lost the one person that is willing to push back against Dan on a consistent basis and I think the quality of the show has suffered a bit as a result of that. And btw the show is still pretty great I listen every week, but Dan is a just such a massive cynic when it comes to literally anything outside of the Jets and the guy is constantly crying when ppl criticize his team. He’s very very sensitive. It can be a bit unbearable to listen to at times. Especially considering the fact that he’s always the first person to throw jabs at/patronize other ppl but when those jabs come back his way he’s never a good sport about it. The show could really benefit from more push back against the host. Not confrontational of course, just less of the one sided discourses where Dan can just say whatever he wants and no one calls him on his missteps. Because like I said, Dan is ALWAYS the first person to call others on the podcast out on missteps no matter how small or big. I’d just like to see that energy reciprocated.

Snyder to the Nats??? - What if! Snyder sells the Commanders and purchases the Nationals!!! Skipper Dan would be a more accurate title If he owns the Nats!!! By the way if Loverro can watch Stranger Things. He needs to get Game of Thrones! Just swallow your pride and watch one episodes and not about the fantasy dragons but more so the character development! Love the show. Love the back and forth with the random conversations about beers, babes, and pinball machines!

This show often makes me hungry - The only podcast I never skip. Kevin is stubborn, Tommy insufferable - but it works. As much as I enjoy the sports, the non-sports banter might be my favorite part, especially the food talk(see below). Keep up the great work, gentlemen. P.S. I’m a few weeks late on this, but tell Tommy he can get a delicious Monte Cristo at Clarksburg Tavern on . It’s no Shelly’s Back Room but it’s close to Frederick!

Review - I love listening to Kevin and Tom. They insult the intelligence of “some” of the Redskins fan base(also known as their listeners) every chance they get and yet we keep tuning in. As a matter of fact the more they make fun of us the more we tune in. For years Dan Snyder has insulted our intelligence so I guess we are conditioned to this kind of treatment. Keep up the good work guys we are always here for more of it just ask the Sailing Man Dan

Don’t tease us - Kevin, love the show but your latest title was a let down. I know you’re a huge college basketball fan but I don’t follow it at all. Football is all I follow and Washington has been my team my whole life ( years old). I loved Cooley as a player and have loved him as a commentator as well as on the radio with you, and separately with Czabe and Galdi. I wish he was on your podcast more but most importantly I was really hoping he’d get a shot at coaching. Your latest title “Cooley to DC!” got me very excited when the notification came across my phone screen. Then I read the episode description and saw it was about college basketball. I should have known because I heard you talking about it on your radio show this morning but when it comes to you I always think of Chris when you put “Cooley” in your show title.

Kevin’s QB/a Cognitive Fumble - Long time listener and the show just keeps getting better! One of the shows strenths is its lenth. A little disappointed, though, that the guy who can squeeze five seconds at the end of the half so hard it becomes three plays would whiff so badly on behavioral economics. Whether a QB was selected in the first or fifth round should have absolutely zero bearing on how long to stick with them. It’s a sunk cost and that draft pick is gone. Whether you paid a dollar to listen to a local dive band, or a thousand dollars to witness the musical genius that is Tommy, you should leave the venue the moment you stop having fun. Staying with something longer just because you paid more is Snyderesque thinking. Thanks and keep up the great show!

Tommy is Always Right - I was also a “Tommy Denier” but after many years, you to can overcome that fear! Him, that smug face in the back of Shelley’s with a stogie, an expensive beer! He is so “inside” you would think he was a beat writer posing as Danny’s butler on one of his many toys! Kevin, “Teams invest more time in their biggest investments, while teams invest less time in lesser investments”! Thanks Kamala for the insight, did that come in a pop up book? Lol! Great show! Never miss Tommy! Keep up the great work! Go Terps! Go Commies! Cman

Sheehan show drinking game mistake - Great show! I tend to listen to it while tinkering with stuff around the house and enjoying an adult beverage or two. I made the mistake of making a drinking game out of the show so whenever Kevin says Taylor Heinicke is a back up I take a drink. Not because I disagree, just because it usually gets said a couple times per show. Let’s just say after March ths episode I have given up on this game. I don't remember much of the show past the first minutes as Kevin and Tom argued about Heinicke. I had some scotch I was sipping and had quite a few refills in a short span. It was a painful experience that I am regretting today! Love the show, Tom is great, even if usually wrong, I kid, and as a guy in his mid s Cooley is one of the few good things I remember of the skins.
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 20:33:22 GMT

Love it. - Kevin. I loved the fired up argument that you and Thom had on Tuesdays show, about Taylor Heinicke. It’s great when you are both sticking to your guns and hashing it out. I’m on both of your sides on certain parts of the argument. I think that Bobby Wilder was speaking the truth when he said that Taylor felt betrayed by Ron, I think he was grateful for the opportunity he had in Washington, but I think he knew how Carson would preform in the Cleveland game as I’m sure the whole locker room did. I’m a Heinicke fan because I watched him at ODU in my home town, but I absolutely knew that Carson would lay and egg against Cleveland, just like Thom knew he would and Taylor knew he would. I guess you and Ron just didn’t see it coming. Keep up the Great conversations. You , Thom and Cooley, have a great thing going.

Mouthpiece of the DC sports fan - George Michael, Glen Brenner, Warner Wolf, Kevin Sheehan. Sheehan is this generations DC sports fan mouthpiece. He is the alpha, everyone else is a pretender. I love his long form podcasts, don’t even listen to his radio program on the once great, but now irrelevant, WTEM. His son makes great music as well. Glosser is awesome! Thanks for recommending. I can’t wait for Tommy Purify to karaoke something from their latest album.

Kevin and Tommy Purify!!! - Love the show! From Connecticut, and listen to it so much that my wife and eight year old daughter are always saying “enough Kevin Sheehan, can we listen to something else?“ . Not only do I enjoy Kevin’s smart and objective takes, but I have found myself with a similar emotional perspective throughout the years… From my optimistic, and sometimes delusional passion in the previous decades, to clinging onto my passion by a thread with the name change and long term dysfunctional ownership. Tommy, you are the best! Although, I think you should really start listening to Kevin and stop scrolling through porn, I mean Google, while he is trying to make a good point….. I think you might be hurting his feelings. I have a place right down the street from Kenny D’s, and my goal is to come witness a live performance by the great Tommy purify! Keep it up boys.

Thom-Purified - Hey Kevin, I’m a long time listener from back in The Sports Fix days and still FULLY enjoy listening to your and Thom’s banter twice a week. Please continue with the half-baked food and restaurant reviews and please include the chimichanga (amazing choice for a death row meal) at some point. One statement and two questions for you this evening. Statement . Thom is certainly a tenor (based on his speaking voice). I’m so buying front row tickets to his inaugural tour (providing there is an open bar). Question . I recently heard Cowboy’s backup QB Cooper Rush is a free agent. What a perfect (and relatively) inexpensive QB to compete with Sam I Am. Thought? . If I were to slap a Commanders decal on my Jeep, would Danny Boy send me a few checks? The additional revenue would go a long way in helping me purchase my first jet. ijustwannabelikedan Brennen Philadelphia, PA

My Guy - Wv guy who’s been around since the sports fix days of redskins at .. call Kevin my guy.... So of course with Dan Snyder going all Dan Snyder today I see the show is up and Thom is on and this is going to be epic..... min in and I'm debating with myself have I truly ever tried a tomato with salt? my wife eats them and I don't like them but have I truly tried one with salt. The answer is no but I soon will..... Thanks for doing what you guys do, distracting us from life for a bit and even doing the impossible to distract us from Dan....keep it up and grateful for the fast-forward button to skip the Terp stuff. Let's go Mountaineers!!!!

Commanders and Covered Bridges - I am a Raleigh, NC long time listener. I am a WFT fan only, so I tend to skip through the Wiz, MD, and Caps talk. Of course the football team talk is second to none! Great guests and fair insight. Love Tuesdays and Thursday’s with grumpy Loverro and the discussion on every day topics such as covered bridges!! Who goes on vacation to look at covered bridges!!! Kevin had me in tears making fun of Tom about this a few years ago. Also, love Cooley although his shows tend to be very long. One request! Add more gambling talk, min a week on smell tests is not enough. Thanks for all the hard work over the years! Go Skins!
Tue, 28 Feb 2023 15:49:30 GMT

Do you know why!? - Do you know why I love your podcast!? You are completely honest about the Commanders and the skipper Dan situation but besides that you show Maryland athletics so much respect especially the basketball program! I could listen to you and Gary Williams talk all day! Oh, and Thom is OK too! keep up the good work. I look forward to listening to your podcast every night when I come to work.

Excellent source of information for DC Sports - Kevin is an excellent source for information, current events, and insightful takes on all things DC Sports; pro and college. He doesn’t give garbage hot takes like many sports talk hosts. He brings in great guests that all have roots on DC sports - Lovero, Cooley, Czabe. As a born and raised DC Sports fan I highly recommend Sheehan’s podcast and radio show!
Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:57:57 GMT

A Timeless Podcast - I first heard Kevin in Thom on rides with my Dad to elementary school. Now, the show is still apart of my daily routine. From their discussions about Skipper Dan and the lowly Commanders, to classic TV shows, and even their own personal ailments, the duo continues to entertain to an elite degree. Kevin also poises as a fantastic solo host, with realistic and accurate depictions of the team and their fan base. Additional guests like Chris Cooley also bring a level of advanced football knowledge to the show, with film breakdowns of most Commanders games that give greater insight to the team. Overall a great show, with the highlights being on Tuesday and Thursdays. I hope to share a cigar with the dynamic pair at Shelly’s when the time comes. HTTC and Fear the Turtle!

Reviews and Ginger Snaps - On the way home from Trader Joe’s, listening to Kevin’s podcast with a box of Triple Ginger Snaps in hand, it finally hit me. I’ve been mystified when my kids watch YouTube videos of other people playing a video game rather than playing the game themselves. Kevin regularly reads reviews of the show on the air that listeners have left on Apple, Spotify, etc. I find this very entertaining and often laugh out loud at the funny comments. It dawned on me that I was essentially listening to other people listen to the show, which is analogous to what my kids do. So thank you Kevin, I get it now. Even when the local DC sports teams communicate to us fans “I’ve got nothing else for you, boss” in terms of winning, Kevin, Tommy, Cooley, and other luminaries always fill the victory void with informed and respectful argument, insightful film breakdowns, movie, TV, and music commentary, cookie recommendations, and yes, listener reviews. It’s all part of a menu of excellence that will undoubtedly enshrine The Kevin Sheehan Show in the DC Sports Podcast Hall of Fame on the first ballot.

Mailbag question! All Kirby all-star defense - Hey guys! I love the show and I have been listening since the Barton days. I even appreciate Danny’s insight now whereas before I just ignored him because I thought he was an SEC hater. My question is: If you could assemble an all star defense from Kirbys time at Alabama or Kirbys time at Georgia, which defense would you pick? All players would be in their prime and as long as he was at either school while they were there, you can choose them. Kirby had some amazing players at Alabama, I think of Minka Fitzpatrick, Jonathan Allen and Ruben Foster. However I would pick the Georgia defense because of guys like Travon walker, Jaylen Carter and Roquan Smith. (Full disclosure I am a Georgia fan!) Who would y’all pick?

Every day listener - I’m a truck driver and I listen to this podcast daily, really helps the time go by faster! Born and raised in Michigan so naturally I’m a die hard Michigan fan, but my other team is Virginia tech. After watching all the success Virginia tech had from - under frank Beamer, and then watching fuente ruin them and the program fall off a cliff, I’m wondering what it’ll take to return them to a annual win program again. Watching Michigan dominate makes my heart hurt when I have to go watch my hokies get destroyed in the next time slot. Love the show, go blue, Ryan day was born on rd base, tuck is coming for -

Best college football pod - I listen to just about every college football podcast on my minute commute and this is by far the best. Been listening since . RIP Barton. PS Barton and Bud had the greatest podcast season of all time. Mailbag: If Paramount made a college football show like Netflix does for F, which teams (one from each power conference and G) would you want cameras on in ? I would pick Texas, Texas A&M, USC, Penn State, Florida State, and UTSA for the boom or bust potential for drama. Go Johnnies!

Sad/Hopeful Cal Freshman - Hey all, Love the show! first time long time. My question: what is the ceiling for cal football and how can they reach it? It seems to be they are doing an okay job with NIL, but is Wilcox the right guy for this job right now? As a follow up, I’m a current freshman in Berkeley. How many wins will Cal get total over my next years here (please don’t make me sad)? Thanks y’all! Go Bears!

Mailbag Question - Have been listening to the Cover Pod for almost a year now and you guys have become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to every week. My mailbag question for you is besides Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, who are the top quarterbacks heading into the new season? As well as some quarterbacks you guys think people should watch out for that can make a statement and have a great year? And as a New Jersey native, will one of those qbs be playing for Rutgers hahaha. Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks guys, love the show. -Scott

Mailbag Question - Love the show! Been listening for a long time! Perfect balance of football and entertainment! My questions are that Auburn over the past decade seems to either to have an average season, just to lose a bowl game or by some miracle of Jesus competing to win the SEC or National title. Do you think under Hugh Freeze Auburn will have more consistency in recruiting (like top classes) and competing for titles then Gus and Bryan? Would you go over or under that Hugh Freeze has at least three win seasons in years?

Great pod for both in season and the offseason - Great pod as always and curious I know is been a bit, but with it the off-season and cover book ideas? Either college football related or just in general. Question: Oftentimes we look back at coaches leaving jobs for “better one” and reflect that maybe the grass wasn’t greener. Which current head coaches do you think fit perfectly where they are and would not necessarily work at a “better job”? Meaning that the location, expectations, possible play style and recruiting base fits them perfectly.

Fight Club Seeding - Long time listener from when it was just Chip & Barton. Appreciate the camaraderie of the Team, and the evident passion they have for CFB. Question - in the spirit of March Madness, who would be the top seeds in a FBS Coaches’ Fight Club Tournament, and who would be the bottom four seeds they would square off against? What would the Money Line odds be in each of those battles? Thanks and keep up the great work.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 17:18:18 GMT

Bud, Chip and Tom… - are great at what they do, but in addition to being a maga chud, Kanell is habitually unprepared and too inarticulate to express a cogent thought. I get it, being the guy with awful takes is his schtick and how he puts food on the table, but he’s so wrapped up in playing that character it takes away from the show. stars for episodes he’s not on, but if he’s on you’re better off skipping the epi. Do yourself a favor and listen to the SZD pod. More insight and the guys on that pod are all smart and articulate.

Mailbag Question - From a weekly listener, love the show! Truly a highlight every week. I’ll keep my question short. I know NIL has been left up to the schools and states and honestly it still seems really out of control. I’ve seen some bipartisan talks about federal NIL laws but no real action. Are you guys in support of federal laws for NIL? And if so what would those look like? Love the show! - Jake (Roll Tide!)

Offensive Metrics and System Correlation - Hey Cover , long time listener here! This is a bit of a lengthy question, but I think interesting nonetheless. I thought of this question after watching the coordinator changeover this offseason for my beloved Arkansas Razorbacks. From my observation and what I see on social media, it seemed to be a pretty mixed response about Kendal Briles leaving this offseason. Part of it because it started to feel like he was just playing the Hogs for raises (see Mississippi St. and ultimately TCU), and another part of it was a lot of fans felt as though he would run what seemed to be untimely trick plays that set back or kill drives(See KJ QB sneak from the yard line against A&M and Trey Knox “TE Sneak??” in the th quarter of the Mizzou game). The redzone offense in general was a gripe for Hog fans this season, as well as td down. I personally believe the loss was a net negative for the Hogs, and a lot of these complaints are crazy, but this leads me to my question. Are there certain metrics you guys evaluate that lead you to form your opinion of an OC, and are those metrics pretty similar across the board, or do they vary dependent on the scheme? With the Hogs for example, it seemed like the offense was more focused on explosive plays, so maybe Red Zone offense wasn’t a priority? I have attached some metrics below and would love the opinion! Thanks guys! th Total Offense - . YPG, th Scoring – . PPG, rd OFEI (offensive efficiency) - ., th OFD (first down rate) - ., th RZ Offense - . scoring PCT, st rd Down Conversion - ., and th OBD (Busted Drive Rate) - .

Idea to fix ACC's Financial setback - Instead of all the talk about big brand schools looking at ways to leave, why doesn't Jim Phillips look for ways to get irrelevant/bottom feeder members who are draining the shared deficit to leave by booting them out ( or members; we all know who these members are)? It should be just as easy to throw members out as it is members leaving on their own. This alone will raise the shared budget to the remaining ACC members closer to the Big & SEC via dollars per school. This is the short term fix. Long term fix, Jim Phillips can wait for the Big TV contract to come to a close and then pillage the Big for their remaining big brands (such as Oklahoma State and Texas Tech) to get back to a man league in order to have a conference championship game again (if conference championship game are even necessary anymore with the new playoff format). Then Jim Phillips can go back to ESPN negeciation tables with something new to try to bridge the gap closer to the Big & SEC. The concept sounds just as easy as big brands trying to leave, but no one seems to be talking about it as much as they are talking about big brands leaving. Am I crazy for thnking this way? Why isn't this concept being mentioned by anyone? - Sal G Hokie in Tampa

Super thankful for this podcast - First of all, thanks for an awesome and hilarious podcast! Whenever I have a flare up of my MS, I really look forward to new episodes that keep me entertained and give me a sense of normalcy so I’m very appreciative of y’all for that Question: I know that Devin Leary (in ) was more productive than Will Levis has ever been but I can’t help but feel that it’s still a downgrade - please convince that I’m not crazy and that Kentucky can make a NY game this year

Mailbag - Love the pod! Been listening since the Barton days. (When Vandy wins, we all win.)…Mailbag: The future Big schedules episode convinced me that the only interesting part of the California schools joining the conference will be the Ohio St v USC matchup. (Which could have been accomplished with some home and home non-conf games.) There could be other great matchups, but the fear of making schedules too difficult leaves us with a bunch of UCLA/USC games vs mediocre Big teams. Remind me why this is better for fans again? I’d rather watch UCLA v Oregon, Utah, ASU than UCLA v Northwestern.

Group of paid for transfers - Great show! The pac s dismantling had made college football a little less fun and then I found this podcast and it has brought a lot of the fun back. Great conversation. The rumors and behind the scenes are great. Question: Do you ever see a scenario where the power ’s have to pay the group of ’s for a player that has transferred to them? The amounts would be preset like k for a NCAA first team all American and/or a top finisher in a major award down to something like k for someone that received a nd team All Conference for their group of conference at seasons end. I know some on the pod like the EPL and this kind of fits that mold except the transfer fee would be non negotiable. It feels like group of ’s are being raided for players and aren’t really getting anything out of it and this may help them stay competitive.

What happens to Washington state? - Absolutely fantasist show, love the pod. Definitely the most insightful CFB show I’ve listened too. I’ve been hearing lots about what the California schools (Cal and Stanford) will do if the PAC breaks up (corners schools to Big and Oregon and Washington to the BG) what happens to WSU and to a lesser extent Oregon State? WSU posts good tv numbers consistently but seems like an afterthought in these conversations. Would love to hear whether you think we can make it into the BG or Big or we are destined for the Mountain West to be a big fish in a small pond and more importantly which would be better for the school knowing that we do not have the resources a school typically needs to compete for conference titles consistently.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:49:36 GMT

Mailbag Question - Question mainly for Bud, last week you talked about how Duke’s basketball brand only marginally increases it’s value as a media property. Why is that same standard not applied to Carolina, at least by traditional CFB media? Yes, UNC is a larger school and marginally more valuable in football than Duke, but they are not a football brand. The majority of Carolina’s theoretical value comes from their basketball fan base somehow deciding to watch/support them in football as well. If Carolina gets credit for their trailer park bandwagon basketball fans with no ties to the university, why shouldn’t Duke?

MAILBAG - Hey guys! Lonnnnggg time listener, brand new subscriber. As a lifetime UGA fan, I believe that deep down, this is still a Georgia pod, and for that I am grateful. Much is made during the off-season regarding what teams have the highest ceiling, but I’m wondering, of the top - programs of recent years, which you believe have the highest and lowest floors. Personally, I’d like to believe that with a coaching staff consisting of young alumni and a top - NIL operation, UGA would have a hard time not being a top program in the next decade. Do you agree, and on the other side of that coin, are there any teams with recent success for whom the bottom could hypothetically fall out?

Mailbag question about Love and football - Im a CFB sicko. I watch football for hours on Saturday and the weeknight games when work allows. From September to mid December im locked in. This makes dating difficult for almost months. I’ve told my past girlfriends that I am all theirs for the rest of the year and most weeknights in the fall. They get really annoyed when autumn rolls around. I feel like me giving them months of the year is a fair trade off. Any advice ?

Could the expanded playoff save the ACC - Enjoy the show especially off season topics. With all the talk of Clemson and FSU carrying % of the viewership and % of the revenue could the playoff expansion offer a compromise? Instead of negotiating uneven revenue sharing of current TV rights, would a large chuck of the new ACC playoff money for teams making the playoff be enough to bridge the gap. Maybe even a distribution based on a running average of playoff appearances by team. We know Clemson would be on board, how about FSU?

Review Clock - Hey guys, I am an aspiring college football coach and I listen to the show all the time. I have two questions. I am going to Waco to visit Baylor soon. Do you guys have any food picks while I’m there? Second, with the NCAA trying to shorten games (they say for player safety) how would y’all feel about them having a review clock? This could either be a minute clock that if it runs the ref has to make a decision or a or so minute clock that runs every time there is a review and when it runs out nothing can be reviewed. The coaches would be allowed to decline the review to save time for later if they wanted to. Thanks! Love the show! -Jake

Best national CFB pod out there - Excellent podcast and a must for hardcore CFB fans. Question: when the ACC’s future is discussed, their terrible long-term TV contract is always brought up. Do you have any sense about how much the ACC could command relative to the other conferences if they were able to renegotiate their deal? Would they be closer to the SEC and Big Ten or the Big /Pac ? It seems like they have a lot of well-known brands, lots of tv markets, but only a few top-flight programs with rabid fanbases.
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 11:13:35 GMT

Great pod - Boiler Up (sorry Tom) - Hey guys, been listening to the pod since and love every episode. Wanted to drop a mail bag question in here. You guys did a good analysis of what the point spread would be if Georgia played the worst NFL team. What would the line look like if Georgia played one of these XFL teams? Which team would have more NFL-caliber players? Thanks again for all the quality content all year round, and Go Boilers.

Brilliant! - Parrish and Norlander are insanely knowledgeable, very connected and sourced, and so much fun! Like every other fan in the country, I had my heart broken last year (obviously not the biggest pandemic hardship anyone faced, but still) and my sadness and then worry about the players and general misery made it tough to “get my head in the game” this season. Parrish and Norlander have really helped me get excited about the season and then the tournament again, which means a lot because basketball brings me and my family so much joy. And, as a Virginia fan, I’ll never forget how Norlander covered the team. Thank you both for what you do and for how much of it you do and how well you do it. Love you guys!

First time listener - I was sent here from a loved podcast FFT, hosted by cbs. I trusted these guys with my bracket and their takes, never listed before. A lot of the bigger stuff they said, Texas A&M/oral Roberts, it wasn’t even close to true. Way way off. I can’t help but wonder if they just float out certain upsets so they can say “I told you!” And then when it doesn’t pan out you say “yup, that’s March madness for ya.” Unfortunately wouldn’t recommend.

The Last of Us // See you in Albany // what’s this years peacock noise? - stars nice comments. Loved the last of us bit GP. Spot on. Norlander - see you at Albany. Question - will GP make the sound of the animal/mascot for the highest (worst) seeded team to win this year. Don’t know how he’ll be able to follow the peacock but would love to make it a tradition. Also, this post season can we get some merch? Would love to rep a shirt to future tournament games that has ‘More of Us’ on the front or back. Y’all are great.

What’s the deal? - Love you guys and appreciate all you do. Two questions for you: . Do SOR and the NET take into account non-con SOS? If they do, why is the committee so hung up on non-con SOS? By harping on it so much, they’re essentially double counting non-conference play to punish/reward teams thus going against the “total body of work” standard. . Why is the committee selecting and seeding teams in the middle of conference tournament week? Selecting the teams and seeding a bracket can not be as difficult as they make it seem. Bracketing rules could easily be put in an algorithm and then input the S curve into the algorithm. If we are going to select teams when there are still games remaining, the least we could do is move up conference tournaments to earlier in the week so the full body of work is taken into account.

The first podcast ever with an extortion expert - The first college basketball podcast - perhaps the first podcast ever - to go to video (smash the like button) AND go to live TV deserves your attention IF you enjoy college basketball enough to separate Bart Torvick’s data or need an extortion expert. Equally good for either need. Hey @garyparrish - curious to how previous champs finished in the Top and the year they won the tournament? MoreOfUs

Just Talk Basketball - No one listens to a college basketball podcast to hear what the hosts think about the school’s religion and sexual practices. The Brandon Davies comment has always been tasteless and the Liberty losing to Kennesaw celebration made me turn you guys off. The focus should have been on Kennesaw’s first bid, but Parrish had to make it into something sexual. God forbid anyone look at their sex lives differently that Jerry Parrish.

Pod hexes Leaky? - Can we drop Leaky from the opening yet? Or, will we track his NIT Performance & G-league career? Clearly, his appearance on the Podcast doomed him to his abysmal performance in his home finale. He missed wide open ’s repeatedly & freshman Filiposwki schooled him! Now do you think Coach K will get on a podcast and mock his shameful defeat in his home finale like Leaky did of Coach K? Yeah, that cracked back on Leaky, didn’t it? Mock the G.O.A.T. & you pay! —Blue Gator

Jumping to Conclusions - I really liked this podcast until the guys started talking about the case with Brandon Miller and Alabama as if they knew all the facts and knew exactly what Bama should do about it all. GP and Norlander aren’t investigators and certainly don’t know everything that happened the night of the shooting. These guys and many others have tainted the reputation of both Alabama and Brandon Miller without all the facts. They have the right to their opinion but not to ruining people’s lives, especially without knowing the story fully. Jumping to conclusions like they have hurts other people, but they clearly don’t care. Maybe they just want more subscribers and likes. I’m not sure, but I won’t be listening anymore.

Saturday slam and jam rated star?! Andrew, that is absolutely…. INCORRECT!! - It all started on Friday when I began writing this review, I threw up a prayer, pressed send… and then the very next week it got read on the pod! This is one of my favorite nba podcasts that’s hosted by two dudes who get scared by a fake wheel at the end of each episode. Which one of these nicknames isn’t an official basketball reference nickname for the the Saturday slam and jam pod? -The fab five star pod -Cinco star hombres - guys star Ps: go spurs go!!!

Slam n Jam is the best! - I love listening to you guys every weekend, Andrew Vs. the beat is literally my favorite part of any podcast! Keep up the good work. P.S. Why do talking heads discount the Kings in the playoffs for lack of experience (which is true) when we have had an example of team making it to the finals with a lack of experience (Suns). Am I missing something -Sincerely a Miami Heat tired of lazy takes.

You’re the best and so are the Bucks - Saturday Slam & Jam is the one stop shop for NBA coverage for casuals and NBA heads alike. That said, I have some thoughts: Voters’ focus on Impact Metrics means the Bucks will win exactly zero awards. And that’s good news: Giannis isn’t MVP because he’s surrounded by great players and replaced by good players. Brook isn’t DPOY because he’s got one of the best point of attack defenders (Jrue) and the absolute best free safety (Giannis) both helping him, and preventing the Defense from falling off a cliff when he’s resting. Bobby isn’t MOY because he can’t have an outstanding on/off differential when he’s helping carry bench units and is being compared to a strong starting lineup. Bud is not COY – because a team with this much talent SHOULD win games. Horst isn’t Exec of the year because this group has been accumulated over a period of years, including several key moves that preceded him, even if Crowder is the missing piece that unlocks championship equity. This team is too good to win any of the awards, because the best team is no longer the focal point of these awards. The marginal impact of each position is isolated and evaluated. And it’s tough to see this team sinking if one of the pieces is removed.

Better then Better - I honestly do not remember how I found Nothing Personal. I listen every night before bed. David is fantastic and is so knowledgeable about how sports work from the inside. I enjoy that part so much. I can’t forget to mention Coca he’s there and always ready to help David when he might have a brain bubble. It’s awesome and highly recommend this podcast. Keep it up David you have a listener as long as you choose to do this. Thank you
Fri, 03 Mar 2023 15:47:34 GMT

One of my favorites. - Nothing Personal is a podcast hosted by David P Samson, former President of the Miami Marlins baseball team. The podcast primarily covers the business side of sports and entertainment, with Samson sharing his insights and experiences from his years in the industry. The podcast is released daily and covers a range of topics, including current events in the sports world, insider perspectives on contracts and negotiations, and personal stories from Samson's career. Samson is known for his no-holds-barred approach, and he isn't afraid to share his candid opinions on controversial topics. One of the things that sets Nothing Personal apart from other sports podcasts is its focus on the business side of the industry. Samson delves into topics like team valuations, the economics of stadium deals, and the impact of player contracts on team finances. This makes the podcast a great resource for anyone interested in the business of sports, whether you're a fan, a journalist, or someone looking to break into the industry. Another highlight of the podcast is Samson's storytelling ability. He has a wealth of insider knowledge and personal anecdotes, and he's not shy about sharing them on the show. Whether he's talking about negotiating with players, dealing with ownership groups, or navigating the politics of a front office, Samson's stories are always engaging and informative. Overall, if you're interested in the business of sports and entertainment, Nothing Personal with David P Samson is a podcast you should definitely check out. Samson's insider perspective and candid approach make for a compelling listen, and you're sure to learn something new with each episode. A question I have for Mr. Samson is why does he have a copy of Rush "Moving Pictures" behind his right shoulder on his office set. I am curous as this was the very first album I ever bought for myself.

Too many different shows on same feed - I religiously listen to the weekly Sunday show with Brad Rowland and Scott Coleman, and it can be annoying to have several other unrelated shows (other than the fact they’re about Braves baseball) hosted by other Battery Power people cluttered all over the feed. I’ve tried to listen to the others, and they’re just nowhere as good as the usual Sunday show. It is annoying to try to hunt through the long list of other random show episodes just to find the right one. I’d gladly give the Sunday show stars, but not until they give the other shows their own separate feed.
Sun, 05 Mar 2023 20:24:58 GMT

Overall Great Braves Coverage, Some Shows Better Than Others - Overall, the Battery Power Podcast feed does a great job covering all things Braves and I highly recommend it to any die hard Braves fan. However, there are multiple shows and some are better than others in my opinion. The best show in my opinion is the flagship show with Brad and Scott that drops every Sunday evening during the season. I’ve been listening to them for years back when the Braves were one of the worst teams in baseball in -. Brad is an experienced podcast host (also host of Locked on Hawks which I also highly recommend to any Atlanta Hawks fans) and always does a great job organizing the show, presenting interesting data that really tells the story (not just “I think this or that” with no data to support his opinions) and keeping things moving. Scott does a good job at sharing his takes in a focused but still interesting manner. I miss Eric being a regular on the show, but I wish him the best in his new role at Tomahawk Take. If you only have time to/care to listen to one Braves podcast a week, I recommend you listen to theirs. The Podcast to be Named Later (PTBNL), their newest show, is also really good. While Brad and Scott make sure to cover all the news and notes from the past week, Kris and Stephen tend to do deeper dives on individual topics. I really enjoy Stephen’s takes, I find myself agreeing with him more than anyone else on the podcast feed. He’s very logical and data-driven which I appreciate. I agree with another reviewer though that both Kris and Stephen have more monotoned voices so it can get a little boring listening to them. Maybe getting a third host with more energy/engaging style would be a good thing to liven up the energy a bit. But I still really enjoy their podcast and recommend it as well. The third show - The Daily Hammer, I can’t say I strongly recommend. The host’s style is much more radio like with lots of repetitive phrases he says every show and is just not my cup of tea. I’ve heard him be factually wrong on things multiple times which is irritating to listen to especially when there’s no one else on the show to correct him. I almost always skip this one and wait until the flagship show or PTBNL as anything important talked about in the Daily Hammer will be discussed in a much more interesting way on the other two shows. Last, not sure if they’re still doing it since Eric left, but in the past at least there’s the Road in Atlanta podcast. I didn’t listen to them much especially in recent years when the farm system didn’t have nearly as many players to watch, but the ones I did listen to I thought they were solid. Definitely the podcast to listen to if you want to get up to speed on what’s going on in the Braves minor league affiliates and who to watch out for in the system. So overall, not all shows are / great in my opinion, but the quality of the flagship show and PTBNL still gives this podcast feed a / rating in my book.

/ - I’ve been listening for a while, mostly for the shoe nerd chat and the rambling, but it doesn’t hurt that I laugh out loud multiple times an episode. One of my favorites to listen to on the run thanks to the conversational nature and inspirational check ins from Thomas throughout. I credit the Drop for my new perspective on the validity of birds as well as an impulse purchase of sale Alpha Fly Vs.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 20:05:19 GMT

Your Mom Will Love It - Is your Mom a runner? Doesn't matter. She'll love the banter between the Believe in the Run crew on The Drop. Who knows? Maybe she'll pick up a pair of AlphaFly 's (Sorry, Meaghan) and throw down a marathon. Or lace up some Max Road 's for an easy run and stop to do a little dumpster diving with Robbe. Perhaps, she's more she prefers something with a little less drop and reaches for a pair of the latest Kinvaras to nail that PR like Thomas. Don't get the references? You would if you listened. It's like Fuel for the Sole while putting down those training miles (snuck in another one!).
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:39:23 GMT

Exactly what I’m looking for - I am LOVING the new format, guys. I’m one of the weirdos who sticks around for the entire banter session and sometimes replays them because you guys remind me so much of me and my running buddies, and now I can cherry pick the interviews (love the athlete interviews). You guys are the perfect accompaniment for my Monday strength gym sessions distracting me from the lift-and-scream bros and for my commute when I’m looking to purge from stupid work stuff. For Robbe’s review: what is your favorite Tracksmith fabric and why is it the Strata gear. Keep rocking it, guys!
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 01:56:02 GMT

Even Better Than True Crime - I’ve been listening to The Drop for about a month now and you’ve taken the top spot in my favorite podcast list (yes, even above my true crime podcasts!) I have a little FOMO about previous episodes, so I’m listening to the older ones in between new episodes. And athough I find the interviews interesting, my favorite part is definitely the rambling banter, so I’m loving the new format. Hoping to meet y’all someday, somewhere! Keep running!
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 21:16:05 GMT

You’ve Locked Me Into Your Gravitational Field - I’ve found myself consuming all you have to offer. Website, shoe reviews, Instagram and both podcasts. Maybe not all I can’t do the $ Tracksmith hoodie. Your updated format is perfect for my long runs. I especially like The Drop when Meg, Thomas & Robbe are pontificating about whatever comes to mind. I find myself laughing a out loud while on my Saturday long runs. Thanks for the entertainment, keep it up!
Mon, 06 Mar 2023 12:18:09 GMT

Perfect long run companion podcast - These podcasts are the perfect companion to my long runs when I just need to zone out and chip away at the miles. There have definitely been moments that had me laughing out loud (like discussing how a certain Maurten product could become a volcano science project in your stomach). The new format is perfect as I prefer to listen to their ramblings during my long runs as you’ll never know what they might talk about next. Shoes, birds, becoming a citizen of Antartica, it’s all fair game. Also trying to take Robbe up on his offer to review anything in my life. Robbe, please review my proposal to my fiancé last March. After two years of dating, we went snowshoeing with a couple friends and I proposed to her at Mt. Rainier. Of course she said yes and now we are just a few months away from our wedding in the San Juan Islands.

Mary Ann’s Review - Hi it’s your friend Mary Ann! I had wanted to say on my min of silence I recored during strep, that I feel like a cool middle of the pack runner thanks to you!!!! I’m like Robbie’s older sister I don’t take things too seriously ! But the tips I’ve learned like the New York Times intel was beyond!!!!! But also the Devon Yako episode was the most meaningful to me as a Lupus runner. I have sent it to friends to explain why I run! Excellent interview Robbie! Good luck to you all and excited to see what you guys are planing in the future! p. s my husband bought a tracksmith hoodie after seeing my BITR one!!!!

I LOVE THE DROP - I just stumbled on this podcast. I love the episodes where there is just banter. Keeps me entertained on my morning runs. Also, crazy to hear that you guys have been doing the Saran Wrap on the Achilles. I wrap my Achilles in Saran Wrap after coating it with diclofenac gel for a few nights whenever it flares up and it works like a charm!! I didn’t know anyone else did this hahaha. Keep up the good work!

Rambling and Running - I’ve been really loving the split podcasts, great to not only hear about running but the humor and rants that drive the conversations as well as the guests in the earlier part of the week. I’m still with Robbe on how blowing bubbles needs to make a comeback, and would love to hear his Mount Rushmore for gum. Feel free to spin it as a review or just list your all time favorites!
Sat, 04 Mar 2023 11:10:06 GMT

I feel like we’re real life friends - The Believe in the Run crew nailed it with this podcast. It’s the podcast I didn’t know I needed. Thomas’ ridiculous commentary about ALL the things, Robbie’s stories of animals and beer cans in the park and Meghan doing her best to hold the nonsense together and keep things moving along. Sometimes I find myself imagining sitting at the table with them recording…. are y’all hiring? As for the new format, please keep it going. Now that they’re separate episodes it makes it easy to listen to either part depending on my mood and the workout Thanks for all the hard work you do for the running community!
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 23:43:56 GMT

Preferred one podcast a week - I love these guys, but I might be the one listener who preferred the nonsense and the interviews in one podcast. I have always loved the nonsense, and never thought that there could be too much, but I am finding that when it goes on too long it feels almost forced and unnatural. When they had to cut it short, it left me wanting more. On the interview side, I am consistently surprised how much I enjoy listening to conversations with people that I had no idea would be interesting to hear from. Anyway, I’ll keep listening, but just wanted to weigh in that I liked it better as one podcast.

Better than most!!! - They provide insight and interviews on the PGA tour that you can’t find anywhere else. I enjoy their content and do a great job discussing/debating all current golf topics. If you are a MAGA guy you probably hate them but I agree with their LIV perspective and they back it up with facts (unlike your typical Foxnews crowd). I have been listening since the podcast started, thank you for the years of content and please keep doing what you been doing. I do have one housekeeping request: less Neil and Randy, more DJ Tron and Solly!
Wed, 15 Mar 2023 01:21:16 GMT

Negativity Podcast - Every episode is just a constant LIV Golf bashing. Nit-pick everything wrong with how CBS and NBC broadcast each tournament. Just way too much negativity for me, I get you have to cover LIV because it’s a big topic in the golf world currently. It gets very old and redundant every episode when they begin to talk about LIV and you know it’s going to be a - rant of what’s wrong with LIV and the players in it. Like we get it! Move on and talk more about the good in the game of golf.
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 19:09:34 GMT

Best pro golf pod - I found NLU just by searching and sampling some other golf pods. These guys have their fingers on the pulse of the pro golf scene and churn out solid regular content. They also have increasingly impressive access to some of the most interesting pros in the game and do an amazing job in interviews. The squad is a bunch of basic white bros but they’re not without their charm, and I find myself loving the personalities play off each other. Grab a beer and unwind after a Sunday finish to hear some great and entertaining golf talk.
Wed, 01 Mar 2023 18:07:47 GMT

Rinse wash repeat as of late. - Seems to be the same as of late. I try so hard to want to listen to them lately but just the we hate LIV and you’re with us or against us period, no other options as of late is tiresome. Love the Strapped, and Tourist Sauce they do but at this point there’s enough anger in the everyday to look for a golf podcast with even more of it in hopes of getting the bits or jokes of past they did so well.

Love it. Just one thing… - Can’t get enough of the chop sessions. Absolutely hate all the strays that your would-be conservative fans catch on random stuff. Like I’m trying to be a fan, but dude leave me alone. Also, Did DJ really call Jordan Peterson a “faux-intellectual” in the episode about Succession? Lol Intellectuals from all over the world - left right and center - have applauded Peterson’s work. Sheldon White, former Chairman of Harvard’s Psych Dept. called his work a “brilliant enlargement of our understanding of human motivation.” He’s been critically acclaimed at the highest levels of academia all over the world including Harvard, Oxford, and Yale. (Sorry no Columbia Neil. Do better. Be better). I have serious doubts that anyone calling Jordan Peterson a “faux” intellectual has actually read any of his books? Maybe I’m wrong, but rather than take shots on cultural topics, have some courage. Read his work before you slam him. I bet DJ specifically would love his books if he gave them a chance. I gave this podcast stars because you guys are hilarious, intelligent, and a huge load off at the end of the day. All the work NLU does is first class, and you guys are clearly the leaders in your industry. You can have me thinking hard about the an issue and in stitches all at the same time. But for the love of God, please let conservatives be fans of your content - stop poking at people whose perspectives you clearly don’t fully understand. Your content could be so unifying if you would just not take cheap shots and run. There’s mil. of us our here - we’re not all dumb racist sexist bigot rednecks. Not all of us are MAGA Republicans who worship at the altar of Tucker Carlson and Dan Bongino. Some of us are just tired of listening to people talk about how evil you are if you don’t support the laundry list of left-wing solutions to social issues in the world. Either you believe you truly know everything and the rest of the world are morons, or you exercise some humility and say “maybe I don’t know everything about everything.” Surely you guys are smart enough to know which one of those is the right take in life.

More than just a silly wrestling podcast - As a kid fan in the Ruthless Aggression era, wrestling was all I cared about. I stopped watching the product around , but got back in when the Hardy Boys returned to WWE at Wrestlemania . My passion for wrestling was immediately reignited and I’ve become obsessed over the last several years, which at first I thought was strange as an adult. However, Adam and the Dadleys, along with AEW have shown me that wrestling is still cool, it’s okay to be a nerd about it, and to be passionate about whatever makes you happy. Over the last few years of changing times and mundane adult life, the daily news and review podcasts remain part of my routine as I always listen to them with my morning coffee and on my commute to work. I’m beyond grateful for the work you guys do and I often find myself just as excited to listen to the review of a great (or terrible) wrestling show as I am to watch the show itself. For my Five Star Review Review, could you please review anything involving MNM. Like I said, I was a fan as a child in the s and thought MNM were absolute geeks. Also, the comments section should be interesting with Melina involved. Keep up the great work fellas, much love from the U.S.!! P.s. Sidgwick, I loved “Becoming All Elite” and am currently rereading it. Hamflett, in my opinion you’re even more handsome than Gunther/Walter. Wilbourn, if you could do me a favor and be LESS careful with the soundboard, as nothing pops me more than when you hit the wrong button and play the wrong sound.
Fri, 24 Mar 2023 03:44:32 GMT

Just Wilbourn and Hamflett please. - I first heard the Raw review with just Wilbourn and Hamflett and I loved it. While they are critical but you can tell they enjoy watching Raw and Smack Down. I was hooked but then I heard it with Sidgwick and it was so miserable. I couldn’t finish the podcast. While Sidgwick is great with AEW it just feels like he hates watching Raw and it comes through. I get being critical but he takes it to another level. At the end of the day Wrestling should be fun and his attitude and discontent towards WWE really makes it hard to enjoy. Wish I could be positive like Simon Miller but listening to him talk Raw is as bad as the Usos/Revival icey hot skit.
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 22:39:23 GMT

Star Review Review - The WhatCulture Wrestling podcast has been a part of my daily routine for around years now, and as often as Sidgwick encourages the listeners to not form parasocial relationships with pro wrestlers I can’t help but look forward to my time with Adam & the Dadleys every weekday. There is no more sure-fire way to pull myself out of a slump than firing up a podcast about NXT point OHHHHH, or a Raw review accompanied by a star review review guaranteed to have me in stitches. Speaking of which (how about that for a segue, Wilbourn?) for my star review, can you please watch the Abraham Washington Show from the August , episode of WWECW? I can’t wait to see how the YouTube comments manage to make this segment TV-. Cheers!
Tue, 21 Mar 2023 10:39:08 GMT

Andrew from Brooklyn - Hello gents, I first found whatculture about two years ago by watching Simon’s ups and downs videos so i wouldn't have to suffer through a raw or smackdown that was more often than not a massive waste of time. I found your absolute gem of a podcast a little over two months ago and it has only grown on me over the weeks. Didn’t know how to feel about Sidgwick’s harsh analysis(which % of the time i knew deep down he was right about) but i realized the more podcasts I listened to that it was a necessary aspect to the show especially to balance out wilbourn who has massive amounts of positivity usually much like myself. Hamflet is probably who we should all strive be be with his wrestling takes since it always feels like he is level headed, but I really do love when him and wilbourn go off the rails excited about something. For my star review I have a horrifying curiousity to hear the comments on the segments where lashley stole rusevs wife and showed up on the big screen from a hotel bed to taunt him about it. PS. I only chose this because I pop anytime you guys read the thirsty comments and try your best to keep composure. Have a great one guys.

Gruskin takes criticism with grace and maturity - Rating upgraded! Tennis players come in the following flavors: salty, extra salty, Himalayan sea salt, and salt & vinegar. Alex took my extra salty review in stride and followed it up with multiple impressive podcasts with the poetic David Kane and the consummate professional Gil Gross. If you’re going to have Super Stars on your show you gotta let ‘em shine! You learn more from the losses in tennis than the wins and I’m now confident Alex “The Octopus” Gruskin will work hard to improve and obviously responds to listener feedback ;) Btw, thanks for alerting me to Ben Shelton early! The way you went on about him was irritating for a while but you were right, that guy is awesome! ::::::::: Original Review Starts Here ::::::::: So tired of listening to Alex interrupt guests that are more interesting than he is. He seems so insecure that he has to talk over guests that he invites to the show like it’s a competition. Also, if tennis players were a binary system Alex proves he is a in the January th episode of Great Shot Podcast with Author Toure. Alex’s views on Toure playing tennis as an adult are embarrassing and moronic. Stop reading stats off of tennisabstract.com and stop eating on the air you. Amateur hour at best.
Mon, 13 Mar 2023 16:50:36 GMT

Best Tennis Podcast - I love how Alex Gruskin know absolutely everything that is tennis and college tennis. He is the best Michigan Tennis Fan of all time, although they publish the podcast sometimes too late, they still do a good job. The guests are amazing as well, the way they talk about tennis and the tournaments is amazing, its crazy how they know so much stats about players and matches. They have to talk about more rising stars in my opinion, they just talk about Alcaraz and the Top Ten. I always crack up when he says “The Lean Mean Vegan Machine” when introducing Chris Halioris. Overall, the best tennis podcast.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 14:00:54 GMT

Very Good - Alex is pretty incredible at what he does. To be able to host a (almost) daily podcast and know so much about all these various matches (even college tennis which I could care less about), both men’s and women’s tours, is extremely impressive. He has a gift of gab, and can really talk about tennis. He can even pull off almost hour long shows by himself. Often, he does have good guests which add a solid element and back and forth to the show. Nate and David are highlights along with Gil gross. Overall, a great show. I think he’s got some connections in American tennis so he’s not one to criticize players (see Maddy Keys and Coco Gauff) which can be annoying but I get it. But, seriously, admit it, Coco’s forehand is a huge problem! Have a show about it! Please. Anyway, keep up the good work. You’re great at what you do.

Juju, Gary, clays children, his friends on the render. Really good stuff. I don't hunt or fish but I love the outdoors and want wildlife to thrive. I know why we want happy hunters. We can make money for conservation and make happy hunters, or we can take tax dollars and pay the state to "try" make things right. I think we should be living in it, loving the land, the resources, and "fruit" that the land provides. I'd have clay at my place in Wautoma WI! Look it up clay. Heart of white-tail county FOR SURE. You can score a big buck up here in Wes-consin I guarantee!

Great work - Clay the pod cast is great. Keep them coming . I really enjoyed the Folsom and Lewis wetzel podcasts. You should do a bear grease episode on Paul Schafer and Bart Schleyer. Paul was a friend of Barry and Gene Wenzel who I consider to be two of the best Whitetail hunter to of lived. Paul was a bowyer and bowhunter from Montana. Bart grew up in Wyoming. Barry said that Paul was probably the greatest bowhunter to ever lived. Paul’s achievements speak for themselves. Bart was a large animal capture specialist by trade and loved bow hunting wild places. Bart started out capturing grizzly bears for research. He eventually got invited to capture tigers for research. Both men lived fascinating lives and were friends.

Tecumseh Pronunciation - During one of the first renders I truly appreciated Misty’s effort when she would reference Tecumseh and make the effort to pronounce his name correctly. I would often replay that moment when I would hear his name during the next episodes. On this last render when talking about the BG Hall of Fame, she talked about as long as y’all would pronounce his name she was good with it. My mind quickly went to song and found myself singing Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone! Love the podcast and keep up the great work.

Bear Grease Podcast - I really enjoy the work of the podcast. There’s two figures that are very influential and interesting to western US migration that I would enjoy hearing you folks tell the story of if you ever have time to do. One is Orin Porter Rockwell (best know as Porter Rockwell) somewhat of a controversial figure in the eastern US. The other is Joe Meeks (Mountain Man originally served under William Sublet) once known for killing a grizzly bear with a hatchet when his rifle failed to fire. Thank you again for such a great show and keeping it clean.

Big Bear of Arkansas - The language of his salutation reminds me of my favorite Jerome K Jerome quote (below). (BTW, if you haven’t read Three Men in a Boat, you should but don’t do it while in a tree stand as you are likely to fall to your untimely demise while laughing). “It must be so. All thoughts that peer outside this narrow world cannot be else than dim and shapeless. The thoughts that we can clearly grasp are very little thoughts--that two and two make four-that when we are hungry it is pleasant to eat--that honesty is the best policy; all greater thoughts are undefined and vast to our poor childish brains. We see but dimly through the mists that roll around our time-girt isle of life, and only hear the distant surging of the great sea beyond.” Jerome K Jerome The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow

The Big Bear part - Clay, I don’t think I’m venturing too far out on a limb when I say that I believe you will mention the Bowie Knife being nicknamed the “Arkansas Toothpick” in coming episodes as you continue to expand on The Big Bear of Arkansas. What I really am curious about is this: Did Thomas Bangs Thorpe use Bowie Knife as the dog’s name, Jim Doggett used to hunt, for a specific purpose? At the very least, I’m sure it just furthered a backwoods persona of Arkansans. But still, curious your thoughts and if it might go further than what I imagine! Thanks for doing Bear Grease. Wednesday mornings are a highlight of my week.

Stars - Always Good Listening - I listen to all the bravo / pop culture pod’s and it used to be a joke I’d hear that “Ryan Bailey is the hardest working person in podcasting” - it’s true. There’s so many pod’s out now & I get really annoyed when people claim it’s their job but they don’t remember which cast members said what lines or they’ll reference incorrect episode details etc. - Ryan & his team REALLY do put effort into their notes, recapping & providing timestamps so you can control your listening … I’d highly recommend The episodes are HILARIOUS. You can tell he enjoys the shows as much as any of us viewers do … the energy, passion & content/episode consistency is truly unmatched. (If Danny Pellegrino is the Beyoncé of pod’s … Ryan is Rihanna!)

Huh - Where have you all been? Stalker Selena has been obsessed with Justin/Hailey since early s way before their marriage. I heard Selena went on a trip to Dubai and got a "facial" by dozens of men for a lot of money after her Disney days. Ew no amount of money is worth that! But that's no excuse for liking hate videos of Hailey her fans make. She's , time to move on from the underage boy now married man for plus years she dated a decade ago. Not stalk, visit, like and comment on false propaganda her fans edit of a woman you and your fans love to abuse.

Musical Mashups - The mashups are worth price of admission. Thanks for having them. Your dedication to this podcast is appreciated. Take care of yourself. Mondays mashup my favorite. Could you identify the artists in your show notes or at the beginning of the pod? Someday could you make a collection of your favorites to us for purchase? Your continued dedication to this podcast is appreciated as you go through your personal health journey and Becky Baileys challenge. Prayers for her as she continues to demonstrate such grace. Glad you recognize that and acknowledge it. Be well

NEEDS a Producer - Ryan is awesome and seems like a genuinely good person, but he goes on and on for far too long. He could cut his podcast time in half if he just got into the topics instead of explaining what he's going to be talking about for the first - minutes. Think he just needs to bring in an editor to cut the waste, every show should not be over hours long!! Also - the personal stuff is ok every once in awhile but people are not coming to a pop culture podcast to hear about personal/family stuff. Overall a good listen but just wayyy too long winded and unprofessional. Also, thinking you are all of a sudden "in" with bravo celebs because you have a podcast... just because they're nice to you or respond to a DM does not mean you're besties.

The latest scandoval episode - Lala was a mistress. To a man who was married with two kids. And everyone knew, except her? And she posted pictures of the kids when the wife ask not to. And she taunted her. And pretended that she was innocent and totally fooled. Raquel and Tom are horrible. But lala using Ariana’s trauma to rectify why she treated people badly when she was also a mistress is WOW and everyone is excusing it - she didn’t “know something about Raquel and Tom” she was the easiest to bully at the time and the Tom’s used to be the ones who treated people nicer than Katie Stassi Kristen / were more logical, that’s why she didn’t like them. She prefers volatile emotional chaos. She also turned her back on Ariana after she was there for her.

Standards? - Are there any standards for podcasts? Audio requirements? Drinking, eating, sniffing? Is the goal only to throw up “content” as fast and as much as possible? He says he does not read reviews, but he should, or whomever puts this on air needs to give him feedback. Issue is twice as bad with Monday’s cohost. Just gross to hear all these unprofessional noises. And for the love of god, stop chewing on your mustache while talking.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 15:16:26 GMT

Surprisingly compassionate - What I like most about Ryan is that even though he’s talking about D-list media/pop culture, he’s still compassionate and thoughtful in his commentary (ie will pt out double standards, toxic gender norms, etc). The same CANNOT be said about recent guest Dana Omari who thinks she’s oh-so-edgy but is just plain vulgar and malicious. That, and she can barely string a coherent sentence together. Def enjoy Ryan’s POVs the most.
Tue, 07 Mar 2023 04:59:51 GMT

Please Discuss!! - The Raquel villain arc has been baffling to me. As Ryan puts it, she has been incredibly difficult to put a finger on but then I DID - psychologically, it feels EXACTLY like the character arc of Nathan throughout the two seasons of Ted Lasso. Raquel’s need both to be taken seriously and to be one of the cool girls has spiraled into becoming the ultimate villain. I don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised by a reality tv character/person - one that clearly we all underestimated and she’s played us all. Truly crazy. Have not been able to stop thinking about this all weekend. Ryan, please discuss if you can. teamariana , obviously.

Authentic and compassionate host with great commentary and recaps - Emily is a great podcast host. Yes her episodes are lengthy but honestly you won’t mind because of her great personality and detailed recaps (she picks up on things the average viewer may miss) of all your favorite bravo shows (and the occasional non-bravo show). And I have to add I love the episodes with Pia. She has a great personality and she’s witty and fair and is great a catching tidbits of personality traits of these “characters” on the shows that others may not recognize. Pia and Emily are great combo and I hope they do even more shows together. They are both the kind of girlfriends that are genuine and kind. I enjoy and look forward to weekly sometimes multiple times a week recaps esp all housewives recaps. U won’t be disappointed!!
Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:22:48 GMT

Fantastic to listen (or watch) - Whether here or on YouTube this is easily one of fave Bravo podcasts. Even when I disagree with her, the point she makes are often fair and I believe most of the negative reviews are trolls she isn’t afraid to say when she’s wrong and is never contrarian for the sake of it. It’s a tough tightrope to balance critiquing reality tv personalities with their humanity but she does it with aplomb!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 22:26:39 GMT

First pick always! - Every morning when all of my new podcast shows roll in, Emily is my first pick without question. Not only does she have an unbiased and truthful take on all things bravo, but she makes me giggle a little with her self reflective and somewhat self deprecating explanations of what’s going on. Her soothing voice is just what everyone needs to get through their day. Thank you Emily for all you do for us bravo fans!
Wed, 22 Mar 2023 01:49:26 GMT

Awesome and thought out - Please give this podcast a shot! Unlike many others, Emily doesn’t automatically pick a side just because she likes someone. She states her opinion, then walks us through why she feels that way. I don’t always agree with her, but I always understand why she’s formed her opinion. The only people who could hate that are the keyboard warriors who don’t have the ability to process or defend their thinking. Please keep doing what you’re doing Emily!! Do NOT listen to the haters!

She speaks nuance - This podcast is my go-to since so many others do not allow for nuance. I love how much attention to detail is put into Emily's recaps - without going too far off the deep end. The episodes are organized but funny - I could listen to her talk all day. But my favorite part is that Emily can do pretty fair and objective recaps - and when she can't, she says it. I also love how she challenges me when I'm not feeling particularly objective or generous to the people we are watching. Also, Emily's perspective brings fourth wall layers, which are helpful when breaking down the scenes and context. Thanks for being such a breath of fresh air in the Bravo content space.
Sat, 11 Mar 2023 02:39:32 GMT

She Speaks Truth - Emily is one of the best in the reality tv podcast game. Love or hate Emily’s opinions, her authenticity and conviction never wavers. She’s true to who she is and is unapologetic about it. That’s what makes a good podcast great! For everyone out there with something to complain about, there are plenty of us who appreciate what ‘She Speaks Bravo’ stands for. Keep up the good work!

Big Yikes - Really disappointed in the way you (& Pia) recapped VPR this week. I’m a) not a Raquel fan by any stretch of the imagination and b) someone who listens to podcasts to get different views and perspectives about the dynamics. And generally I really like your solo recaps and Kendrick!! But when you team up work Pia it just becomes a toxic combination of you two feeding each others negativity. Not fun to listen to and not necessary for the recaps. Just want you to have the feedback Emily because I know that you work hard and it’s your platform and space for your opinions but no one wants to listen to mean girls talk about “rolling by Raquel’s to beat her up” and as a listener we don’t want to hear Pia and you screaming that if we “disagree” with your hate we might not want to listen anymore. Ok fine, I won’t listen anymore. stars for your hard work and dedication but - stars for your inability to express your opinions without hate, name calling and blatant misogyny.

The worst - I’ve been diving into the Scandoval drama as much as anyone else but this is unlistenable. His voice is one of the most annoying out there and he’s not saying anything worth torturing your ears over. Of course what Raquel did was wrong but who care if her real name is Rachel? Jax and Lala also changed their names and they both also had affairs. Lala literally slept with Raquel’s fiancé and then gaslit her over it and acted like she’s so respectful of people’s relationships. Kristen slept with Jax even though Stassi was her best friend. Faith slept with Jax when he was with Brittney. Ariana slept with Tom when he was with Kristen. Ariana hooked up with Lala when she was with Tom. They ALL do it. The outrage and hate directed at this girl is ridiculous. She had an affair, she didn’t kill someone. Lala is the biggest piece of human garbage out there and you completely overlook her sleeping with multiple men who were in relationships. You’d rather have racist Kristen and antisemitic Stassi back on the show?? Get a grip.

Ariana should talk to shania twain - Zack is amazing. Did he sleep or eat in the last week? He is the best of the best. Always puts in overtime and gets the story right. I never thought I would hear another story like Shania Twain. Her first husband, Mutt, had a secret affair with Shania’s secretary and best friend. It nearly destroyed Shania. It was devestating and why she stopped touring at the top of her career. She was comforted by her secretary’s husband and he helped her get back on her feet. They eventually happily married. Not the case for mutt and the secretary.
Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:17:18 GMT

Stop the Hate - I’m a huge fan of Zack. He knows the tea. But Zack, stop with voicing extreme disdain for Raquel on your platform. You have influence and some crazy will attack and possibly harm Raquel. And let’s be real. If you want to call Raquel, Rachel, then call LaLa Loren from Utah. Kristen, Jax, Schwartz, James,Tom, Stassi,etc. all cheated.The worst being Jax and Loren from Utah. So call a spade a spade. You are better than that.

Housewives vs Under shows - They are very fair when it comes to the housewives shows, which are all women casts and they do a good job being flexible in their opinions as new information arrives. The male & female casts imo lack nuance. The boys (Sandoval, Schwartz, Kyle, Craig) have historically received a pass while the women are always held accountable by cast mates, the public & these podcasts. We are aware that ALL cast members have positive & negative attributes. They make mistakes that we all pick apart but there is an unconscious bias when covering the women in the under shows. It would be an interesting episode if you had a guest on with a differing perspective from yours just to open up the dialogue. I know you have gone hard on the men once something has come to light but red flags are not to be ignored in any person! I’m sure you have examples that counter what I’m saying but I too have examples. Hope you’re open to this feedback.

Love them they make my mornings - As someone who has been clean for over years, thank you for talking about your sobriety! And congratulations to you! It’s not an easy journey! Back about the podcast: I have seen their clips on Twitter and tick tok. So i decided to listen to them, even though they are eagles fans (go giants). But I am hooked on their podcast. They have given me different insight to how I view a few things. The episodes on Rhonj episode was on point and fair. You really need to give them a listen! Their recaps on rhom reunion! Perfect! They basically became my bravo spouses! Start from the beginning and listen to all of the episodes.

Love you guys but we may be having our first fight. - Two str guys, appreciating the world of Bravo is an amazing thing. Especially when they’re from Philly as well. I’ve been listening to you guys since last summer, and I’ve been loving the podcast. We’re currently having our first fight, we have a difference of opinion about Kyle v Carl. But I like hearing other people’s points of view, so I’m not too mad. Keep posting, y’all are great. Can’t wait for multiple Bravo Bros episodes per week. Love you guys.

RHONJ Scarred - I really do like your podcast, I’ve been around from the beginning. Listening to the commentary on RHONJ…hmm…people are going to have strong opinions on the Tre/Melissa/Joe/Louie of it all. I think we’re all tired of the reconciliations that go nowhere. I’m just hoping how you feel about Tre doesn’t become another Kyle-RHOBH moment where you liked her in the beginning of the last season then pivoted left…can’t wait to hear if opinions change or become more cemented as the RHONJ season goes on.

Look forward to listening every week! - My thorn first: as a lifelong Cowboys fan, it pains me that you guys are Birds guys. I felt a little bad for your after that epic Super Bowl loss, but not that bad gocowboys Now my rose: In all seriousness, I'm so glad you guys started this podcast! It's refreshing to hear takes from your perspective - I have been begging my husband to get into Bravo shows with me for years, and he just won't do it. He's all sports, all the time. Listening to y'all fills the void I didn't know I had, lol. Don't listen to any of the haters - you guys have as much right as anyone to be doing a podcast about Bravo. The ability to have different opinions are WHY we watch these stupid shows! Keep up the amazing work - proud of all of the success you've had in such a short time!

Ready for S. Bring it on! - I have much enjoyed hearing the weekly podcast and guests who have dropped by. It’s such fun hearing the stories and behind-the-scenes info. This week, awesome to have Kerry join! I liked hearing her separation between character and her. One note, I believe Guillermo got that last comment about Olivia wrong. She didn’t team up with Mellie to avoid being with Fitz. She did that because of what both Cyrus and Mellie said, in an effort to save his Presidency. She sacrificed her happiness for his Presidency. Look forward to hearing more Podcasts when unpacking S!

Fantastic! - This was so much fun Katie and Guillermo!! I am a tremendous Scandal fan!! I first discovered it on my maternity leave and binged the first two seasons and watched in real time starting with season ! Since then, I have rewatched the entire series (most recently finished it weeks ago-again) twice! I have friends and family who are obsessed and we dream about resurrecting the series all the time! This is a dream come true! Thank you both and Shonda! Brilliant, funny and so uplifting!!

Scandal-Only The Best TV Show Ever - Was listening to a new podcast and heard a “commercial” for this podcast. Oh myy! I loved this show for many reasons. The stars and storylines. So many social issues explored. The music was excellent! There were times I’d be walking out the room and a song would come on and stop me in my tracks. Take me back to the time when it came out and then integrate it into the story I was watching. Probably was hard on my bladder-lol! Now getting to know Guillermo Diaz and Katie Lowes-very good! Always loved Huck. Quinn took a bit longer. Hearing from Shonda Rhimes and the genius of her vision. And knowing the music was on purpose. Kerry Washington (my tv crush), oh I could go on and on. I look forward to this podcast. I hope you will have everyone on at some point. Keep them coming. Take care of you! Much appreciation.

New Gladiator…Spoiler Alerts needed - I just found Scandal (I know!) and am watching the series on Hulu. I am on season and love it and was very excited to see this podcast come out to accompany me on this journey. However, there have been several things mentioned on the podcast that happen in future episodes that clue me in on what is going to happen. I really love the suspense and plot twists of the show and kind of bummed that now I know where some things are headed. But, the spoilers will still not stop me from listening along because it is so fun!

It’s been HANDLED. - This is everything I needed in my life right now. My BFF and I used to stay up for TGIT every week and text the entire time. We have been talking about doing a Scandal rewatch for years, because Thursday nights haven’t been the same. As a teacher who wakes up early, I’d fall asleep NO FAIL every week around : and my friend would text me until I woke back up, usually around :. She’d always have to catch me up quick so we could end with our OH. MY. GOOOOOOOOOODDDD! moments at pm. Love you, Katie and Guillermo! Thank you for doing this! OGGladiatorlife

Day Gladiator - First… understand the amount of gay gasps my friend and I let out when we found out that this podcast was going to happen.. and then imagine the gay gasp and high fiving done knowing the G and Mike had a three way with a fan. Because that’s every gay man’s dream. We gladiators are very quick to eat up anything that Shondaland decides to throw at us with Scandal stamped on it. Even merch. Please know that we are all waiting for Shonda and crew to strike a deal with Netflix and start filming one more season. Just one more…. Okay more. Please???? We beg you.

Oh, the memories! - I was a Gladiator from the opening scene of Episode ! As I got into the show, I discovered that one of my dearest college friends also loved it and it was our guilty pleasure to watch and compare notes later since we lived in different time zones. She passed away right after Christmas , and during her treatment, whenever there was an article or special edition magazine about Scandal, I would buy it and send it to her as a treat. Listening to your podcast makes me feel so close her. Thank you for the great stories and also for bringing back wonderful memories of my dear friend!

Kate Casey is AMAZING - The Amazing KATE CASEY is right! I have been an avid listen for years now and Kate is honestly one of the best interviewers I’ve ever heard. I have no idea why Bravo or other media companies haven’t snatched her up to engage their audiences more. TLC - she could host a reunion better than anyone you’ve had before. I could go on for days and days about how much of a powerhouse Kate is but I’ll wrap it up. If you’re a fan of reality tv & documentaries this is the podcast to listen to. Her weekly WHAT TO WATCH lists are my guide to all things I love and she rarely disappoints in her suggestions. Thanks for all you do Kate!!

Confusion - Why would you discuss details of other people’s private stories? Yes, you didn’t like the people that left personal records unlocked but you’ve also given details that anyone who knows them can identify and maybe they don’t won’t to share their story with your world. And focused on childhood’s worse than yours. Are you going to send them a portion of the profits from this episode?

Milton school background - Another great episode. I’ve always been struck by Kates interviewing style. She really listens to her subjects and lets them talk and tell their story. She also has an abundance of empathy for people even if they are the wrong doer or criminal in the topic. Now I can see why. She truly understands that there is a back story to everyone and is genuinely interested in hearing it. Looking forward to the next part of her journey.

Kate has increased the frequency of her podcasts and I couldn’t be happier! Loving the new addition of Jodi Weber who is a retired FBI agent and has become a repeat guest!

Give a real opinion - Becca and Michelle are so worried about saying the right thing and not offending any of the contestants or leads. I assume they prohibited from sharing real opinions as the official podcast. “As the viewer”, “from our perspective”, “I could be totally wrong”, “I’m sure there’s things we don’t know”, etc. We get it. They don’t need to be mean or rude, but it’s much more refreshing when we hear real opinions.
Mon, 20 Mar 2023 19:49:35 GMT

Updated: Garbage - Just listened to the Zach podcast. He’s actually quite well-spoken and intelligent, and conservative from what I hear. Becca and Michelle, however, cannot string a sentence together. I’m stunned that our universities are turning out such low IQ unpolished graduates. These two spent too much time in woke class and not enough time learning how to speak or read. Your woke comments are like robotic Democrat political scripted talking points which over half of the country rejects, and you both know so little about geopolitics it’s laughable. Your obsession about race is a turn-off. The resource segment - Hahahahahahaha. It’s all woke garbage. These two are clowns. I’m remaining unsubscribed.
Sun, 19 Mar 2023 20:40:01 GMT

Losing Me - I only listen to this podcast anymore because they get all the current cast that other podcasts can’t. I really like Michelle, but am just having a harder and harder time listening to her and Becca. Both struggle to speak clearly or string a good question together. And their personalities are just absent or feel fake. This has already fallen down to one of the last podcasts I listen to in a week and I had to increased the speed just to get through the Zach episode. Sadly, “getting through” is how I feel when listening now. And I still feel the resource section doesn’t fit in this podcast at all.

Different perspective on Michelle - I listened to Michelle’s interview on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s podcast and Holy Cow there was such a notable difference in her personality. She seemed fun, talked openly, shared opinions. She definitely seems bored on this platform in comparison. Maybe it’s not Michelle but her dynamic with Becca that’s holding her back here? Modernize your hosts, replace Becca and I bet Michelle will shine just as she did with KB.

Bored - I’ve been listening since the beginning and I’ve never missed an episode. I stuck around because the podcast has the best bachelor guests. I will say Becca has improved a lot since she first started, but I was halfway through the most recent episode and realized how bored I was. Every interview is similar. They use the same repetitive phrases and words far too often (obviously, stunning, truly). Officially unsubscribing.

Joke of the year - Worse podcast ever. Becca loves hearing herself talk, if there was a transcript you would see becca takes up percent of the conversation She never lets the guest talk and takes forever to ask a question and makes it always back to herseld . Michelle shows next to no interest in anything (and barely shows up! and seems like she would want to be anywhere but there. They have good guests but michelle and becca make you want to scream

Catching Up - This is definitely taking me back; tho I should probably watch each episode before I listen. As someone who found the craft for real when I was , I was super excited about the show when it came out, as we were close in age by that time. I was faithfully watching every single week; tho at one point I was having some issues with killing demons every single week, which just kinda felt stale after a while. But this show was definitely a big part of my life. I haven’t been able to watch the reboot of it. Probably cause I’m in my ’s now and not sure if I could relate. Maybe I’ll watch it at some point. For now I have the whole series of the original on DVD. The craft is still in my life every day.

Nostalgia Love - So glad you’re all a part of this podcast! Thank you for bringing something from the OG back! I agree with some of the other feedback about more behind the scenes info where possible and the sound equipment. The sounds are all over the place. Holly & BK are louder than Drew & guest(s). Makes it hard to listen to without playing with the volume the whole time. Also, now that you have some advertising, create some sort of pause between the podcast and the advert. I thought Holly was still talking about the show but it was the advert Lol. Again, love to all. I appreciate the time and effort you all put in. Looking forward to more! blessedbe

Such an easy listen, all charmed fans should listen - I grew up watching charmed. My mother and I both watched this show and it was a bonding experience for us. When I heard about this podcast, I was so excited. I was really hoping for an “O ffice Ladies” style recap where they go scene by scene and give details and talk about what happened behind the scenes. I was dreading it being like the scrubs podcast where they don’t talk about what happened in the episode as much but they talk about everything under the sun including their personal day to day lives. I am happy that this podcast is kinda a combo of both but I would love more behind the scenes talk. I also would love for better audio quality. The cutting off when someone else goes to speak is super distracting and such a turnoff. I loved in the beginning how the ads were not in the episode, but now that they are, please use that money to get better audio. I gave this a star because I wish they went over the behind the scenes more and had better audio, but this podcast is still amazing and I listened to all the episodes (season ) in about week. They are an easy listen (besides when the audio fails), and even though it is not what I expected, I am still grateful for every episode you guys do. Also, Drew is an amazing host, I appreciate his organization and trying to keep things on track. Thank you guys for doing this and thank you for being a part of forming who I am today

Fun to listen to - Please producer!! Listen to the office ladies podcast for reference. I think it’s great you guys have your own thing going but this is called a rewatch podcast. I wish there would be more recap and behind the scenes. I love your banter and family dynamics but sometimes they drag on too much and Holly pretending (I think?) to be offended for Piper gets old fast :( I’m still a huge fan and obviously just my opinion. I really appreciate Drew’s role in being the moderator and main host. I’m really impressed with him. I was so happy to find this podcast and I’ve been watching along with you all. It seems like Holly was kind of the mediator on charmed and kept everyone from going crazy haha. I really admire her. Brian seems like such a kind soul and I’m happy you all are so close in real life. I hope you continue the podcast, with a little more organization :) imo. Thank you!!!

Love these guys, true Star Wars nerds geeking out - So positive, they really love Star Wars. They don’t just hate on something and then you have to hear some dumb pet peeve or “sellout” like on other podcasts about shows or whatever. So in depth(I’ve never watched any of the animated SW), and share lore and stuff easily and really makes me engaged with the story for all the Star Wars shows out now.

Should’ve reviewed years ago - At the time, I wasn’t a fan of the Star Wars franchise. So I knew I was missing A LOT of information as I was watching the first season of The Mandalorian. So I went looking for an aftershow podcast. Found this one and haven’t regretted it. I even recently subscribed to their Patreon! Their love for the franchise is infectious and they know pretty much everything, or are at least good at faking what they don’t know. ;) It sounds like they successfully straddle the line of entertaining both newbies as well as seasoned veterans of the franchise. And they are so so welcoming, no fan shaming here. If there’s just one thing you love about Star Wars, then in their eyes you’re also a fan of Star Wars. I never considered myself a fan because while I watched all the movies, I never cared much for them. Until The Force Awakens, that was the first movie I watched where I went “Wow! I get the obsession!” But then I didn’t care for the last two episodes &. But then I watched Star Wars Rebels and felt that WOW factor again and then again with Mandalorian. So I figured out, I do love Star Wars, I just don’t like Skywalkers. Which keeps getting reaffirmed as I watch and fall in love with shows like Book of Boba Fett and Bad Batch and Andor. I did enjoy Obi Wan, but got the most enjoyment from the episodes that didn’t have Vader. I’m fine with being an oddball fan! So in short. Highly recommend this podcast if you’re in the market for a Star Wars aftershow or want to learn/relearn Star Wars history/trivia or just want to hear two guys (along with all their fans thanks to voicemail hotline) geek out.

Positivity and inclusion! - A truly wonderful place to learn more about the Star Wars universe. They spread positivity and joy in every episode to make all listeners feel welcome. Above all else, I appreciate that they support up-and-coming local businesses. I was first skeptical about Vanth refrigeration, but after going through the process of finding the right fridge for me, I cannot rate them high enough. Cobb was out on FMLA, but the rest of the team stepped up to make sure I received the attention needed for a satisfactory experience.

Amazing Podcast! - Found y’all after the Kenobi Series and went back to listen to as much as I could, and I just love hearing y’all thoughts and speculations each week! I try to watch the show as quick as I can just to hear what y’all have to say! As a year old who grew up watching Star Wars with my dad, you guys have brought my love for everything Star Wars to a whole new level! Keep up the good work fellas, and keep the watch!

Best show ever - The show reinvigorated me and loving Star Wars, and actually listening to the podcast. After watching an episode is so educational and insightful. I enjoyed speculation and hypothesis’s that the hosts layer into the show. It’s also delightful to listen to the fan theories from the listener voicemails. I joined and listened late in the game after Mandalorian season two, but I’m enjoying it ever cents keep up the great work. the road to reviews is alive.

I love the show but please shorten intro - I have listened to almost every episode and have several times almost felt compelled to write in with “yes, YES!” Agreement about feelings but figured that would be too parasocial. I enjoy feeling feelings about the movies I love with y’all! Only thing, I wish the intro was shorter. Every episode I know to fast forward at least - minutes to avoid a rambling intro of random stuff. Get that dollar, I want you to succeed but please, please be succinct? It feels really rambling like someone freestyling and could use some self-editing.

A Lovely Podcast - I haven’t found an ep yet that didn’t teach me new things and make me feel like my gooey sweet emotions around our vast and varied media landscape aren’t as silly or inappropriate as I was told they were growing up. Sarah Marshall is a genuine sweet wonderful accepting person - I have loved her in every podcast I’ve ever heard her in. Alex Steed is a great foil for her, providing just enough of a differing viewpoint to be interesting while still being agreeable. He’s such a great example of positive masculinity. I’m so used to men (it always seems to be men) denigrating and looking down on anything they deem overly sweet or feminine that it’s really nice to hear someone male consider all viewpoints as equally valid. Their friendship carries through in every episode, which is incredibly sweet. And every guest feels carefully screened to continue the sweetness and understanding. I’m so glad I found this podcast. Sometimes I listen even if I’m not interested in the movie being discussed because their voices are so nice and their viewpoints are so expansive and accepting. This is a wonderful sweet podcast and I highly recommend it.

Listening to You Are Good is doing yourself a favor!! - I found this podcast after listening to You’re Wrong About & then wanting to devour all of Sarah’s work, but I have come to love it in it’s own right as my favorite podcast about movies. This one lets me see what other people find and connect to in movies, lets me discover movies I never noticed, and encourages me to make space for my own relationship with movies, as messy and emotional and inexplicable as that is. Their guests are engaging, the hosts are the best, and I sincerely adore this podcast. Cannot recommend it enough!!

Comforting Podcast - I really enjoy this podcast. Sarah is so insightful and I love her intellectual takes on movies and how well she correlates them to the events in history that were taking place before or at the time they were made. I also have an English degree and I wish that I could think about art on her level. Sarah and Alex are an endearing combination for a podcast about movies and feelings. Every episode makes me feel good and makes me think from a new perspective. Sarah speaks so eloquently and her thoughts are so deep. Thanks for your all of your work.

The absolute best. Truly. - I look forward to this podcast every week. I love movies and feelings and this nails it. The hosts are so wonderful and I always end up nodding along, laughing and sometimes even tearing up. A gigantic thank you to Sarah and Alex for this warm hug every week. Also! It’s named after my favorite line in my favorite movie that I have often in my life tried to hold close in my mind. YOU ARE GOOD!

The Best Film-Related Podcast Out There - I’m . I’m not pursuing film as a career, but it is hands-down the thing I am most passionate about. I write about it in my free time (and am a journalist as well, writing for newspapers), watch and analyze films and read about the medium all the time (from articles to books). Bottom line: I love to learn about film. And there’s no better place to listen to others speak about the art form is on FILMSPOTTING. I’ve listened to this podcast for at least four years at this point, and am always surprised by both how often my personal tastes/opinions line up with Josh’s, and also how Adam’s points (that may not % line up with mine) give me additional insight I didn’t think about beforehand. As someone whose worst fear—in terms of my writing—is being seen as pretentious, these two guys create such a great balance between critical, intellectual talk about film and casual conversation. Love film? Then you’ll love FILMSPOTTING!

Why I’m Watching Movies - I first heard Filmspotting on a road trip in with an ex-boyfriend. I don’t remember the trip at all, and only know it was because I remember clicking on the episode about Midsommar. It made more of an impact than wherever we were driving to. We were sick of music and trying to decide on a podcast genre we would both like, when at a gas station I searched movie reviews and happened to click on this podcast. Neither of us were sure about it at first. It’s awkward to try a new thing with a new boyfriend, it takes time to like people or characters or more specifically hosts, to get into a format well-established that you’re not familiar with. But after the trip when I was delivering food, I clicked on it again. I remember driving at night to these guys talking about what a golden brick is, and I watched The Last Black Man in San Francisco. I remember falling in love with Bo Burnham through an interview. Something about a skateboard movie sticks in my memory at a particular street in Minneapolis dropping off someone’s dinner in the dark. And now, in , last night, I watched Frances Ha so that I could get more out of their top best Noah Baumbach characters episode. This podcast is warm to me like night deliveries, and feels like it sits in a special place in my memory even though I haven’t even been listening that long. When I watch a movie, I have a place to go.

Source of joy, insights, and much learning - Listening for years, my family has grown up on Filmspotting. While younger, my kids enjoyed their franchise reviews on studio blockbusters. They provide critical insights that have helped everyone in our household to refine our cinematic tastebuds. Over the years, we’ve all gotten into more art house films—truly appreciating films by auteurs and other “independent” studios. The genius of Filmspotting has been the journey we’ve been taken on. We never felt belittled for having pedestrian tastes (though strongly encouraged to elevate them). Instead, through good humor and accessible reviews, we have found hours of enjoyable listening that has shaped our family’s next generation of film buffs. Can recommend highly enough!

The only podcast a film junkie needs - I am so grateful this podcast exists. They have the conversations around film that I wish I was having with my own friends and family. They are insightful, funny, and help introduced me to films that I might’ve missed. UPDATE: It has been a few years since I wrote the above review. It has only become more true with time. There are a lot of podcasts about film, but you won’t go wrong sticking with Filmspotting.

My Favorite Film Podcast - The competition is tough, but Filmspotting (a long-running podcast that I just started listening to last year) is without a doubt my favorite. Adam and Josh are a perfect balance of humor and intelligence, and I value their opinions very highly. They also do a great balance of classic and contemporary cinema, and they have helped me expand my knowledge of cinema even further over the past year. Let’s just say that Fridays have somehow gotten even better since I discovered Filmspotting.

Amazing podcast for your ear holes - To be read as a Todd impression with a touch of Tasmanian Devil This is absolutely one of my favorite podcasts. Laughter, scares, friendship, and Todd. I am making my way through the back catalogue and only pausing to watch the movies that I haven’t seen yet. Keep it up. Also I have indulged my inner child by listening to every Patrionical… I hate my inner child.. I adore you all.

Zero Stars not possible - How this podcast gets stars is unbelievable to me. If I could give zero stars I would. Paige is super opinionated and not funny at all. She’s a comedian? How? No wonder Netflix isn’t calling. Todd is an annoying little by&?h. And Mikey oh Mikey you are pathetic. How you are a therapist is beyond me. You need therapy yourself. Please do us all a favor and end this sorry excuse for a horror podcast. So many better ones out there.

Only took me two years to write a review. - Don’t let the time it took for me to write this review fool you. It’s been from day one and has only gotten better. Love the chemistry of Todd, Mikey and Paige. They each bring something unique and valuable to the show, plus their friendship brings such joy to my life. Todd, thank you for all your hard work making the show sound the absolute best! You’ve spoiled my ears for anything but perfection. Paige, thank you for putting so much effort into the recaps and bringing so much humor and thoughtful perspective. You bring so much wit and knowledge to each show! And Mikey, thank you for not only allowing us to hear things from a professional clinical perspective, but also being a sweet, silly goofball that lives for the BONKERS s and s B-movie madness that I was raised on. All three of the hosts work so incredibly hard and their passion shines through on each episode. If you love horror movies, laughing and learning, you will love this show.

Absolutely obsessed - (Mikey please please please read this as Confederate Ouija General ) In I I stumbled across this podcast searching for spooky season content back in the fall and immediately fell in love with Paige, Todd, and Mikey. Their chemistry is so fun and witty that I’m always listening and giggling like a maniac. Usually while I’m wearing ear buds and alone. It’s my favorite podcast for long walks, and it’s probably made everyone is my small town even more convinced that I’m a weirdo. Lol I’m usually a coward when it comes to scary movies, but if Todd can watch them, so can I! So I rewatching some classics and trying to work up the nerve to watch Hereditary Thanks for all the laughs and Christmas Mikey is my favorite

Get your horror fix wrapped in humor - This podcast is awesome! I listen to this show and it’s sister show all the time. The hosts are hilarious, and knowledgeable about movies. You can tell they really enjoy watching and talking about movies. They’re opinions are mostly wrong, particularly about Scream and New Moon. Anywho, one thing that the hosts need to work on is being more proud about the podcast. I get the impression that they’re embarrassed to share or talk about the podcast in real life, guys you should be proud! You created awesome podcasts that are a joy to listen. Plus, if you’re constantly talking about not wanting people to know you podcast, why would we share it with ours?

Brilliant & thoroughly entertaining podcast - I’m a new listener, and thank you, Brett, for putting this out in the world! It’s such a joy to hear you and your guests talk about life, death & movies. The most meaningful movie I’ve seen & can watch a million times — Forrest Gump. I remember seeing it with my parents when I was a teen, and it felt like I somehow connected to their younger selves as they grew up in the time period of the movie. The music is a perfectly aligns to key moments of his story, which I observed resonated with my parents, especially my mom. It’s a great film that highlights the imperfect beauty of life, love, and relationships. (Maybe this assessment is why Ted Lasso strikes a chord with me, right?) Cheers, and I’m excited to keep tuning in as a subscriber!

Worth every listen - Singin’ in the Rain is the film that means the most to me. I saw it in the theater with my late grandma who loved the films of the s and s, especially musicals. Singin’ in the Rain was the first film we saw together, just us - and with it, our shared love of film began. I cannot ever get through the opening without crying because it reminds me of her. This is my absolute favorite podcast. I’ve been listening very casually for two years and still have over half of them to go. Brett Goldstein’s appreciation for film shines through and the unpretentious way he speaks about them is incredibly relatable. Be excellent to each other

Your Neighbor Maureen Teaches Tai Chi to Rob Delaney’s Large Adult Sons - I saw The Sound of Music for the first time on Christmas Eve at my grandparents’ home when I was five. Captivated. Received it on DVD a few years later for my birthday. Portrayed a nun in the chorus of my high school production (too scared to try out for Baroness Shroeder, a great regret). My mom and I sing Climb Every Mountain till we piss ourselves laughing and drive my dad from the room. Anyway, making my way through each episode of the podcast in no particular order. Currently listening to Pete Holmes, rewinding and relistening to the bit around : where he Solves Existential Angst. You’re a gift, Brett Goldstein. Much love.

Never ever stop please - I learned of this podcast from a fellow Ted Lasso fan and I can not get enough. I have been listening so much to catch up. Thank you, Mr. Brett Goldstein, for helping me to realize that it is not weird that my life has been so impacted by films and tv and it’s ok to love them and be really into them. So far, the episode with Dane Baptiste is my favorite! I started following his podcast after hearing him blow my mind on this podcast. Brett Goldstein is easily now one of my favorite human beings to have ever existed and I only feel sad I didn’t know of all his wonderfulness sooner.

Wonderful comfort show - The movie that means so much to me is Adventures in Babysitting. When I was , an aunt took me to the movies to see Annie. After that, I didn’t set foot in a movie theater for five years as our family was really struggling to make ends meet. Then things got a little better. One night my mom was doing sometimes with friends and my dad announced to my brother and me, “let’s go to the movies.” We were confused but so excited, and we went to see Adventures in Babysitting which I loved (though who knows if it was just the experience). We really became a big movies family after that (video and theater), but I’ll never forget that first time.
