PJ
I have missed you!! I recognized your voice before I knew it was you! So glad you are back and with a very interesting podcast! Just listened to the A I one and it made me stop and šŸ¤” think.. and that’s all we can do..
Compelling and informative
This is my favorite podcast. PJ Vogt and his team have a knack for making everything interesting, including the IRS and taxes! Incredible storytelling that is informative and draws in the listener.
I always learn so so
Much! Great podcast! Approachable and informative!
Favorite Podcast
I was a huge fan of reply all and now here I am at Search Engine. PJ Vogt has a unique skill of explaining to me WHY I want to know something to hook me, and then telling me everything that I want to know about that thing. Thank you PJ and Sruthie for doing the best work you can do. It is appreciated.
Whenever I have a long car ride
PJ is my co-pilot. The sorties he tells are engaging and interesting so much that yes I have sat outside my destination to finish listening. Please please keep up the fantastic work. It’s hard to find a good co-pilot.
Filled a Reply-All sized hole in my heart
I’m so glad you’re back PJ! Find a way to bring back some version of Yes, Yes, No and I’ll be complete in life. šŸ™ˆ
Thoughtful and Thought Provoking
PJ is back to what he does best—finding interesting questions and following the answers to unexpected places.
For the curious
This is THE podcast for you if you’re curious about our world, how it works and, mostly, why. Each episode starts with a ā€œsimpleā€ question and then the ā€œanswersā€ reveal even more interesting and important questions. Isn’t our world amazing?!?!? The best part is that the show walks us along this path in a delightful way. This episode on inflation is a great example. I almost skipped it because ā€œI know a lot about inflation already!ā€œ but I learned a lot in a really succinct way.
My favorite show
PJ and the team do a great job. I look forward to every episode that comes out! I’ve never written a review about a podcast, but if a review keeps my favorite show on the air, then I will go out of my way to write one
Perfect podcast for the middle-brow curious
I’ve been a fan of PJ since the TLDR segments on NPR. Reply All was far and away my favorite podcast. I was late to know about his new show but I got hooked immediately by the Crypto Island series. PJ asks the dumb questions so we don’t have to, and gets us smart answers. I’ve enjoyed the show so much that I became an annual paid subscriber, the first time I’ve done so for a podcast.
PJ!
I love this show!!
Fun show
This show offers a fun take on everyday questions. And many I’d never think to ask
Love
PJ Vogt is such a great host! This podcast is so thoughtful and informative while still being entertaining. Just the right dose of fun and educational. Exactly my kind of pod!
Great show
This is a great show, every episode is well written and well produced. All the excellence you would expect from a modern podcast!
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 ā€œmost interesting thing of the weekā€ that we’ve learned. I am alarmed to find that my most interesting thing has become a weekly Search Engine recap.
I love this podcast!
Well-researched, clever, and always interesting. I enjoy listening with my teenage sons . PJ is a great host and I’m so glad to have found this podcast!
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.
The perfect podcast
Start listening, keep listening!
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.
Entertaining and Informative
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.
