New favorite show
Podcast addict. Freakonomics has been my go-to favorite for decades. This unseat it. Don’t hesitate to give it a try.

Fascinating
Every week, my partner and I share a “most interesting thing of the week” that we’ve learned. I am alarmed to find that my most interesting thing has become a weekly Search Engine recap.

PJ and Sruthi better than ever
With Search Engine PJ and Sruthi have gone to the next level.
The questions explored on this podcast are more relevant to our lives than ever before. Dare I say Search Engine even goes a bit high brow compared their previous work but still keeps that humor and vibe they have been known for.
Search Engine is almost more NPR than groovy tech podcast and the content informs me in awesome ways.

Wonderful educational podcast!
Search engine is one of my favorite podcasts! It does a great job of finding things that I didn’t know to ask or have an incomplete picture of and answering them in an interesting way. The storytelling is great, they’re very enjoyable listens even when sad and I leave each episode feeling like my understanding of the world has become just a tad more nuanced. I also love the variety of topics to go from economic issues to crime to religion to the history of techno music.

What the Podcast Universe Needs
I listen to podcasts daily for hours. I get tired of the same educational podcasts or celebrity interviews. Search Engine brings a fresh, fun flavor to podcasts. It’s comedy, learning, and fun. I love to learn while being entertained. PJ somehow gets into my brain and is able to answer the silly questions only my partner and I hypothesis about over wine on the porch. Thanks for an incredible show and asking the questions we are all quietly thinking!

Informative and fun
Addictive, inspirational, informative storytelling. I stopped and took notes during the recent inflation episode, it was so interesting and taught me more about the Dem/Rep split than I expected it to. The Bergheim episode is probably my favorite so far. Love the taking on of small and big stories.

Great, Enjoyable, Informative Listen
Great host. Interesting, informative content every episode. I gulp these down as fast as they come out. The creators actually package interesting economic information into interesting stories that make you see the world around you differently and with more insight.

PJ Vogt has been a favorite of mine for many years. In Search Engine he is as engaging as ever, answering questions of varying complexity, but consistently interesting.

Absolutely intriguing
This podcast really suits my appetite for knowledge. Every episode turns me onto something that was unfamiliar to me. PJ is exceptional. I love the theme music!

Consistently a great listen
Whatever he covers, PJ is a very entertaining host who does the deep dives I crave. It helps fill the Reply All shaped hole in my heart 🙃

Delightful Informative Storytelling
Oh, how I miss the golden days of podcasting. PJ’s search engine is an unexpected fresh breath of air from those days of old. With real effort in storytelling and truth telling, it gives me a sense of delight that has been missing in podcasting.
I do have 2 critiques:
1: I don’t have the time for more content, so the darker part of my brain won’t allow me to get incognito mode. Yes, I think this makes me a bad person, but I’m human.
2: The ads are not as charming as they used to be in that golden age. They are on par with all my other shows, but I miss those mattress, cereal, and therapy ads.
Thanks for the best new show during times where these shows are nearly impossible.

Very informative and enteraining!
I found this podcast through a friend recommending the Micro-dosing Vegan episode. TBH, I very rarely listen to podcasts because I’m not a fan of people talking over each other or feeling like I’m listening to a conversation that I can’t join in. But this is not that! It’s very well produced and the guests are super interesting. I feel PJ adds in the right amount of commentary and clips to keep it entertaining and informative. I will definitely be coming back for new episodes and I’m working my way back through previous ones now. Great work, thanks!

Everyone should be listening!
Pj is one of the best reporters in podcasting. This show is inquisitive and honest, funny and thought provoking. I’ve never listened to a podcast on release day until this one. I can’t wait to listen when a new one drops.
Do yourself a favor and listen. If you miss reply all, or the good old days of radio lab, listen to this 💖

Love Search Engine!
I finally figured out how to rate the podcast! I was attempting to do it through the Incognito Mode show page, which proves how much I love it. The episode content is thought provoking and interesting to listen to, and I really enjoy PJ’s rapport with the guests he interviews! This is the first podcast I’ve enjoyed enough to subscribe to, and I look forward to its continued success!

Awesome Show.
Thoroughly enjoyed your show on inflation. As a student of economics I often find that many individuals I encounter have a very weak grasp of the most basic economic topics. Inflation is high on the list. You’ve done a great job of delivering a conversation of this topic that is not overly vague or profoundly complex. I will be forwarding this show to everyone I know.

Always worth it
I mainly listen to pods because I’m interested in a topic. Search Engine is one of the rare things I consume where I’m happy to listen on topics j don’t know or usually don’t care much about. It’s an interesting and curious exploration into all kinds of things in a way that feels good.

TL;DR -> Reply All -> Search Engine
Ultimately, a podcast is about sharing headspace with the host for a little bit. PJ has been a reliably fun mind to spend time with, across several podcast brands.
