Nice break from the others
Sometimes it’s nice to just listen to a random topic. This show is a nice mix of a little of everything. It’s well researched, well thought out, well produced, and PJ and his guests are fun to listen to. It’s become a favorite podcast of mine.

I Love Search Engine!
PJ is a fun, curious host tackling questions at all levels of importance. I absolutely love the format of the show, the range of questions PJ tries to answer, and the unique mix of answering interesting questions while not taking oneself too seriously

One of the best podcasts
One of the best produced, best written podcasts out there. Great storytelling and in depth investigation into curiosities in this world. I never miss an episode. Great. Just great.

Gawk at the wreckage with me
Search Engine helps me feel better about the weird questions and confusions swirling in my brain. Not because it answers anything, but because I know there is a community of listeners and creators that are also wondering and just trying to make sense of it all.
The show is rarely predictable and always satisfying. The guests and experts are varied and knowledgeable and willing to admit their own known unknowns.
If AI is replacing the other type of search engines, I hope that this podcast remains as human as possible.
And in case you are wondering, Incognito Mode is very worth it. So invest your $ and your time in this podcast and these creators.

Mostly enjoyable
I listened to Reply All for years and generally enjoy PJ. Is he a little insufferable in an “NPR voice” way? Yes. But I mostly have fun listening to this podcast. That said, this week’s episode about working versus having a family left me cold. To not acknowledge the POV of a mother/primary caretaker felt really shortsighted and frankly exclusionary. This show has always been a little navel gazey, but this episode felt a bit disgusting. I get that PJ was working some personal stuff out that created additional bias, but this is a huge issue in the US that deserves a more thorough approach. I’ll probably listen to future episodes, but this one was a real doozy and made me view the host in a less flattering light. I suggest hosting a follow up episode that explores the struggles of childcare and what having a child means for women in the workforce, even in 2025.

Superb
PJ has a gift in turning seemingly random questions/topics into timely, interesting, and frequently heartfelt stories. Awesome content

Pleasantly surprised and in love
Give it a shot, even if you didn’t like “Reply All.” I didn’t, but Search Engine is in my top 3. I can’t wait for the next episode. It’s intelligent but approachable. Interesting topics. It’s something you can share with people you struggle to find entertainment to enjoy together. It’s fun and casual but still professional and in-depth.
If you like to just get the gist of something while you do dishes or walk the dog, this is a good podcast for you. If you like to get all the facts and really think about it, there’s plenty for you to sink your teeth into. I’ve listened to most episodes more than once, just to make sure I absorb it all. I love it so much I pay for it.

The best podcast and it’s not even close
PJ asks delightful yet thoughtful questions in interviews that are too addictive to miss

Good for General Interests
Lives up to its name, covers a huge breadth of topics. Well-researched stories. Suitable for those curious about many things in the world, but if looking for a show with a sharper focus, probably better look elsewhere.

A delightful array of curiousities explored!
As a former Reply-All listener, I was thrilled when I saw this new offering from PJ Vogt - and on first listen, it did not disappoint! I look forward to each week where a new, often listener proposed question is explored in detail with good natured humor and relentless curiousity. I'm happy to support their paid content as well... helping to ensure I get to listen to more of the same in the future. Highly recommend!

Honest
Outstanding and honest. Just try it. Each show shines like a separate facet, united in style but each with unique flash, and every metaphor better than that one. Thanks, PJ, Sruthi and all.

PJ Vogt never disappoints
Been listening to PJ since Reply All. He is so relatable, witty, and explains things really well. So impressed with the AI episode!! It was so well presented and made me wonder if Chat GPT or Claude as used to best produce the episode!and no judgement ! I was just blown away with the details and the way it addressed any random question that popped into my head without saying anything out load. Thank you PJ for all your work! There’s is an episode from Reply All that often takes up space in my mind, maybe called, yes yes no? You didn’t know who Ariana Grande was and I could so relate. That was many moons ago I definitely know Ariana now a days. Keep up the great work! Love Search Engine! Thank you
