Entertaining
Big fan of the show. The recent chicken bone episodes were hilarious.
Amazing storytelling
Very thoughtful episodes with great storytelling. Loved the ones about the sushi, fentanyl, amphetamines, chicken bones, and housing choice vouchers. Every episode is really well edited.
One of the greatest podcast hosts
This is one of those shows where you listen to every episode because you didn’t realize you would care about the subject, but end up thoroughly invested by the time it’s over. PS I didn’t realize how much I liked about Reply All was actually just PJ (no offense, Alex).
Welcome Back
Tell your buddy Pete the “fertile” crescent was hundreds of miles north of Egypt. Accuracy counts
Humans are the invasive species, not the cats
I’d just like for that to be acknowledged. We are the parasite destroying the planet, no matter where else we’d like to point the finger. Now that it’s been said, love the podcast, thanks for all the great reporting.
Such a great podcast
Thank you PJ and everyone else that is a part of this podcast. It is by far one of my favorite podcasts. With every episode, this podcast just gets better and better. I think to myself that there is no way you can top the last episode…and then you do! But, the Molly Ringwald episode… you have hit the epitome of podcast greatness. Molly is absolutely brilliant and so very graceful. As usual, you were great as well PJ. But, as for Molly…she most definitely completed the assignment. There is no way that you will ever be able to top the Molly episode. Thank you Molly. Thank you PJ. Thank you to everyone associated with this podcast.
My favorite show of the last few months
I’m one of those people who doesn’t take the time to review even if it’s something that I absolutely love. I felt compelled to write this to PJ know that this show is absolutely fantastic, insightful, and an amazing balance of well produced and spontaneously vulnerable.
Fantastic!
I missed hearing PJs laugh - So glad it’s back on the air! Such an interesting, well-produced podcast.
Ideal for late night bottle feeds
Search Engine is both delightful and insightful, and it has sustained me through many a late night bottle with our newborn! It has made me walk through the world a little more curious.
Kudos
PJ is a delight. Honest and courageous in a way that might fly under the radar but deserves significant recognition. ESPECIALLY for the ADHD episode !!!
One of the best! Love PJ!
I do not know what it is about PJ, but just the way he talks is so soothing, the way he thinks is so matter-of-fact, but also thought-provoking, that this has got to be one of the most entertaining easy to listen to educational shows I’ve found.
Great show!!
I’m soo happy to find PJ has a new show! I loved Reply All and was so sad to see it fall apart. Thank you for continuing your awesome work!
Funny, interesting, honest
I love this show so much. Even when the episode’s topic is something I don’t think applies to me, or that I’m particularly interested in, I end up loving the episode—and learning and laughing. PJ and I seem to have similar senses of humor, so I appreciate the awkwardness of some of the questions and interactions. I appreciate PJ’s curiosity and willingness to admit when he’s been wrong or his assumptions were wrong. Just a great listen all around.
💜 search engine but
I was truly offended by that add for a program featuring a misogynistic rant/request for 1%.
Fascinating
I grabbed the two-part podcast about fentanyl and didn’t expect that much because I know a lot about the crisis but I learned so much and the perspective that former drug dealer provided was very valuable. I would highly recommend.
Is it all funny?
Is there any basic fact these dudes don’t find hilarous?
Thoughtful Show
PJ: I really enjoy the show. I’m willing to listen to episodes on topics I don’t care about, because I trust you will make it worth my hour. Keep it up. Listeners: If the life in your mind is at least as vibrant as your physical life, then add this podcast to your rotation. If self-reflection isn’t your jam, then this might not be for you. Try it anyway.
Yes! You are back!
I’m loving every episode so far!
Awesome podcast!
Love every episode!!
Terrific but needs to include LINKS!
I’ve now binged every episode, chronologically, up to July 2023 (don’t drink airplane water, featuring Antony) and have noticed this lazy (selfish?) problem in the show notes: no links! Yes, you give Antony’s last name, but why would you not include at least one link to him elsewhere?! Do I want to go to your website to search for old shows and hope you have links there? No, that’s why I’m listening and not messing around on the internet. Content, production value, interviews, and personality are all fab. But it seems mean or sloppy to not include at least one link for your interviewee/s… the person/s that make your idea a show. Please assign an intern to bring your show up to the standards of the podcasts that introduce your work to their subscribers. Thanks I’m advance.
PJ!!!!!
I’m one happy former RA listener! Glad to hear you again and, so far, I am loving what I am hearing. Excellent content, perfectly researched as usual.
A new perspective!! Love it!
Loving this podcast! So much info not heard before!
Best find of 2024!
Just stumbled upon this podcast ! It’s a gem! GREAT concept! The delivery is engaging & fun! ~ THANKS , Janice M
New discovery
I learned about Search Engine from TTFA, one of my favorite podcasts. I ended up listening to 5 episodes of Search Engine. Great content, great writing and interesting and engaging. I was captivated and instantly hooked. Amazing work on all episodes but particularly Fentanyl episodes. Such diverse and interesting sources of information and highly relevant topic. Great work!
True talent
Experience this while it’s still small and pure.
Different but just as good
It’s hard to follow up a show like Reply All but you did it. I look forward to every Friday’s episode :)
Good pod
This fills my RA void. PJ always seems to do.his homework and knows how to tell a story.
Yes!
I’m leaving this review before I even listen to this because I am SO happy that PJ has a new show. I’ve been so sad since he left reply all. I cannot wait to listen. Thank you
Fantastic, curious show
This show is carried by PJ’s curiosity and ability to bounce ideas with interviewees and get insights out of those exchanges. I loved Reply All and was sad to see it end (both the PJ/Alex era and what followed). IMO, this show has the best of that - exploring interesting things about the world with people who actually have insightful stuff to say.
You’re doing great!
A little extra love for the missing speed. 😜 Now stop reading reviews and get back to work! Man, we missed your perspective and voice.
