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

Perfect podcast for the intellectually curious
PJ Vogt is a great interviewer and journalist. He asks great questions, his earnest curiosity leads to a good really thorough understanding of the questions at hand.

Airport Luggage
I do love all of your episodes! Yet, I do find it incredibly strange that you (and so many listeners) find it strange that someone would want to buy luggage in an airport. People like me who travel the world constantly have a different perspective. For example, I was in a village in China once and my suitcase zipper broke beyond repair. I had to leave for the airport around 3 a.m. so had no options other than to just go. The airport I was flying to Hong Kong from was small. There were no shops and I certainly could have used a shop with a suitcase option. I had to have my bag sealed at the airport with those rigid plastic binding straps that are sometimes on cardboard boxes or lumber in the USA. Yes, a device with the ability to do this was at the little airport which is much more confounding than luggage in an airport shop. Lol.

Beautiful reporting + ADHD
Search Engine has all the magic and magnetism of Reply All, and I kind of enjoy the lack of discernible theme connecting all the episodes. This show keeps me guessing what each next episode will be about. Also the music is so good

Favorite!
Search Engine is one of my very favorite podcasts. As a previous fan of Reply All, I’ve always loved hearing PJ’s take on any given subject. Search Engine is well thought out and entertainingly presented.

I’ve bought luggage at an airport
Despite feeling judged harshly by this episode, I still love the show. For informational purposes, I have purchased a carry-on at an airport TWICE in my life. Both times I was sick of lugging around a heavy tote bag and wanted something with wheels. 🤷🏻♀️

Answering life’s most random questions that I’d forgotten to ask
One of my favorite things about Search Engine is that PJ and the team answer questions that I hadn’t realized I’d been asking in the deepest layer of my subconscious for eons.
Like, “Oh yeah… how *do* online car dealers juggle all those different state regulations?” I legitimately remember wondering that while purchasing a car a few years back, then got distracted by, you know, the car. So it’s nice to have an answer now!
Keep up the great work, y’all!

One of the highlights of my week
I loved Reply All, and I love Search Engine even more. I like the intimate feel of the episodes, the good mix of serious and quirky topics, and PJ’s willingness to be vulnerable and figure it all out (or not) out with us.

PJ back at the top of his game
Search Engine started out good, but over the past year has gotten great. PJ and the team have hit their stride! A must listen.

In my top 3
I listen to every episode. Always interesting and holds my attention. And I learn interesting things as a bonus.

One of the best
Search Engine is always about more than the topic of the week. It always strikes me as finding the deeply human in every topic. It is funny/sad and always involving. I never skip an episode.

Brilliant Investigative Storytelling
At one of the dumbest moments in recent American history, when everyone lost their minds over BLM and DEI, Reply All decided to swan dive into irrelevance for no good reason, taking podcasting legends PJ Vogt and Shruthi Pinnamaneni with it. But thank God (or chaos?) for Search Engine, because now we get the same addictive, brainy storytelling—minus the self-inflicted drama. PJ and Shruthi have a rare gift: they can tell a story that’s ROFL funny, deeply meaningful, and capable of sparking real change. This is a podcast nobody should sleep on.

PJ Vogt can be your imaginary friend too, I’ll share since he wont be distracted from our imaginary friendship. Always interesting and surprising.
