So happy to hear PJ again!
I have missed PJ! Happy to hear him again!
Love this show so much!
Entertaining that also makes me think a bit, I’ve learned quite a bit about the world that I would not see from my perspective, without overly being stressed out or preached at.
Authentic
PJ Vogt’s laugh shines through this inquisitive
PJ is Great
I don’t care at all about German techno music but somehow PJ makes this two part story fascinating. He does this with all of his stories. I don’t know how he does it but he has a magic touch. Don’t miss a single episode.
Great show
Love love love. Can’t stop listening. I’m learning so much
Love the depth of reporting and topics
This podcast always makes me think and connects what sometimes seems like a dumb/simple question to a broader thought provoking reporting. It’s one of the only podcasts that I look forward to listen to each week and download consistently.
Learning while Laughing
This has been one of my favorite podcasts that I’ve ever listened to! The combination of humor, anecdotes, and research is perfectly in the sweet spot that makes you feel like you’re talking to an educated friend, instead of a professor or rando on the internet. If you’re a fan of easy listening that could still challenge views you have about the world, then this is the podcast for you!
Really real
Of course there is the content, the information that soothes my educated brain. And then there is PJ, who is dancing in there with the info and being real - having anxiety, or listening fatigue at the Bitcoin Conference or wildly laughing at something that strikes him hilarious. There is also the showmanship of the professional tease before the ads. Go PJ.
Great Podcast!
I’m excited to have just discovered this fabulous podcast. Full of facts, intrigue, and very useful information.
Podcast for elitist libs? Look in the mirror
Great concept, very witty and entertaining. Reviewers who call it a “podcast for elitist libs” are nothing more than partisan hacks, so-called “anti cancel culture champions” who actually want to erase everything that’s not aligned with their political dogma.
Is “Reply All”& “This Amer Life” your Podcast type?
Then you will enjoy PJ and the topics on Search Engine. PJ is an awesome story teller and I enjoy listening in my car and when I go to sleep at night.
Great Show
Stumbled upon this show a week ago as I search on what happened to PJ after reply all. I have since been binge listening and like this show too. Only wish they could have shruthi do a show to(I like her story telling in reply all). Also do lore tech stories …(tech support 😉😉).
Ezra Klein is insufferable
Title. I really love this show but the elitist drivel that comes with the Ezra Klein episodes makes me want to cancel my subscription. This show is unique because of its smart but fun presentation of interesting questions in an accessible manner. If I wanted to listed to a self absorbed "intellectual" wax poetic about his own views I would listen to the thousands of podcasts with this formula that are already out there.
Curiously delightful
My favorite new podcast of the year - genuine stories, quality reporting, and in an entertaining format! Highly recommend!
Love is about right
This show is a brain squeegee and clears the mess of the day to day in one glorious experience. I adore this show.
My only must listen pod
It’s the only podcast I must listen to. The only one I pay for. The only one (now) that I’ve ever left a review for. So very grateful for this show. I only hope that next year they kick off the season with an episode titled Search Search Engine.
Thankyou PJ!
Delightful, well put together, vulnerable, and honest. I hope this podcast continues to bring me delight for years to come!
This is why podcasts were invented.
PJ is a natural born host, but the show’s greatest asset is that it seeks out experts to generate truly unique and thoughtful content.
Great stuff
PJ is still at it, always questioning, formulating the problem and exploring in a systematic yet thoroughly engaging and entertaining way. I’m a fan!
Love!
I love PJ’s podcasting, so glad to have another show from him!
Creative, original, and informative
It is always compelling even on topics. I don’t find interesting.
Don’t leave me hanging!
I love this show. PJ is an intriguing host and his guests are always interesting as well. He keeps you coming back for more. On that note…there better be a part 3 to the Berghain story, you totally left us on a cliff hanger??!!
Perfect
Podcasting at its finest. I was a big fan of Reply All, and I’m finding this to have taken many of the elements I’ve loved about Reply All and evolved them into something even more interesting, powerful, and finely-tuned. The theme music, storytelling, and even ad breaks are thoughtfully designed and executed to feel continuously engaging. Every time I listen to an episode, I spend the rest of the day mulling it over, talking to people about the ideas presented, and looking up related stories and facts. I feel like my brain lights up in new ways whenever I listen, which is just the greatest feeling!
Just about perfect
Another reviewer described it better than I can: “so interesting with passion and heart.” PJ and Sruthi, awesome work!
