Rate ShowThoughtful & well-made podcast
Been a fan since the old days. PJ, it’s been very cool to “grow up” with you (I say, being essentially the same age as you) and see your skills as a storyteller and your thoughtfulness & maturity as a human develop. (I know there’s something about a parasocial relationship in that statement, but at least I’m self-aware enough to recognize it). Keep up the good work - you and the entire crew. To anyone reading this… sign up for Incognito Mode and give the team more money. It costs money to make this stuff.

Virtute
PJ, thank you for the casual Virtute reference in the Cuddly Killers episode - you might be a cat person just on the basis of that alone, despite the allergies.

Fantastic podcast, always fascinating.
I’ve loved this show since the beginning, I’ve listened to every episode, I find them all fascinating and thorough and enlightening. Truly one of my most beloved podcasts.

Terrific
For a super short period of time, I had a favorite podcast called “Mystery Show” with Starlee Kine. And then there was Reply All, also a favorite. Search Engine is different from both, but scratches a similar itch for me. PJ is freaking awesome, the kind of host you wish you knew and could just call up on the phone. I am late to this party but delighted because now I can binge it.

Love but please vet guests
I love this podcast and am a subscriber. That being said, I found the guest journalist on the recent Psychic episode to be quite sexist and boomer-y. Complaining that his interviewee the Medium was responding in “paragraphs”and immediately fading her interview responses out instead of letting us listen to her answers…saying she didn’t come across as seriously as meditation leaders, the dismissive skepticism of something newer generations are much more open to…it all just felt very outdated and off-putting, which is the opposite of how I usually see this podcast.

Thank you Dan Harris
Just listed to the podcast via 10%. Total enjoyment with learning at every angle. Looking forward to listening to past episodes. Wonderful tone and easy to listen to it’s not American Band Stand but it will make you think!

This is just good ‘content’
In addition to PJ being a fun and interesting person to hear talk, you walk away from each show with a better understanding of how the world works and why, without even realizing that’s what you were being taught

Interesting questions (mostly) answered
Widely varied choice of topics, good storytelling, feels authentic. It’s nice that PJ has a podcast again, I missed him after Reply All ended.

Search Engine!
Big fan of Search Engine including all the hard work of PJ Vogt and team. If you loved Reply All, you will definitely enjoy the story driven journalism and investigative narratives of Search Engine.

So Many Commercials!
I would give this podcast five stars for its content. I ha enjoyed just about every episode. It is very well researched and presented. However, the number and length of commercials is getting ridiculous.

Good podcast too many ads
16 minutes into this episode and there have been almost 15 minutes of ads, insane.
