Listener Reviews

The pacing and scope are beautiful. PJ is really good at describing things. The theme song is gorgeous.

Incredible stories that are masterfully told. It’s currently the #1 podcast I am excited to see show up in my feed!

Thoughtful and funny. Always an immediate listen for me.

Because this is how the internet works.

The show is well produced and I most enjoyed the two episodes about amphetamines and hearing how the host's personal story tied in. Thanks for the quality content!

Incredible show

Richly researched, compassionately told, and entertaining stories about things that are relevant but not topical — this show is a breath of fresh air. I listen to get off the 24 hour news cycle merry go round while hearing about the humans behind the headlines. Somehow, the questions asked always hit on things I’ve been thinking about lately - maybe this show is psychic, or maybe the cultural conversation is more powerful than I realized. If that’s true, this show has its finger on the pulse of that cultural conversation and is adding more humor, expertise, insight, and reflection than any other show I’ve heard recently. Bravo!

Often personal, always insightful, I listen to PJ Vogt all the time, sometimes repeatedly. I’m amazed at the quality of his reporting; he asks and tries to answer the questions I have, but didn’t think of.

It’s hard to find a show that has the perfect blend of thoughtfulness, humor, vulnerability, and research. Each episode has blown my mind in an unexpected way, while entertaining the crap out of me. I’ve introduced this show to my 75 year old father and now he loves “that google show from that nice young man.”

Always interesting discussions

Thank you so much PJ for this show. So well researched and reported. You are telling the adhd/stimulant story so well. Keep up the good work

the two-parter on stimmies is really good

Look forward to it every week

This podcast asks such interesting questions. The research feels complete and well balanced. It often leaves me feeling informed and yet uncertain. I do miss Alex though. Thanks for the outstanding podcast!

I was sad to hear PJ was leaving Reply All, but I’m glad he started this show. Good topics and well-produced.

I’m so glad that I finally found PJ’s podcast. It’s so nice to hear his voice again. As always, compelling stories & interesting angles!

Period

I love the concept of this podcast. And of course PJ’s narration and introspection are captivating as always. I’ve been a fan of his work for a long time now.

Every episode’s quality is great (whether I’m interested in the subject or not). Always worth a listen.

PJ said to rate and review this show and, as I lack strong role models and am thus easily influenced, I’m gonna do anything PJ says! But also it’s fantastic content. Simple questions have complicated answers. In a time when the loudest, clearest voice is often the one heard despite being the wrongest, the ambling uncertainty I find in this podcast is deeply refreshing.

Always thought provoking, can’t wait to hear the next one every week. Boy in Photo is one of my favorite podcast episodes of all time and I’m happy to have PJ’s voice back.

Highly recommend!

Especially loved ep 2 of the series with Dr Bianca Harris. Except for the brain tumor, her story is mine. Diagnosed with ADHD at 33, and grateful for the difference Ritalin made in my life.

I have been a fan of PJs style of journalism for years now. I truly believe this is his best work yet! Each week is a new topic and I always walk away feeling more informed about the world around me. I don’t think I can look at airplane coffee the same, and I’m grateful for the knowledge I now have to avoid it! I highly recommend! This show is a great listen!
