The Empty Bowl

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d like this podcast. I have absolutely no idea why I thought this. But here we are. This podcast now means a lot to me. I work as a crisis line responder and had a tough time winding down after my shifts. This podcast is perfect. I love the McElroys and so Justin’s voice is very comforting?? And the fact that they are talking about nothing… but also everything? Is amazing. I will be telling everyone about this podcast :)) thank you guys 🩷

I was using this to fall asleep, and then it was so good i became interested in cereal and stayed awake to listen.

I have neither interest in nor knowledge of cereal. That’s why this is my perfect sleep podcast. I’m never afraid to miss something, my disinterest in the topic means no emotional stakes, I can choose to follow the narrative for my information craving ADHD brain or zone out and just enjoy the voices: Dan’s calm and mucnhy and Juston’s deep and crusty. 10/10 bowl.

I love this podcast, I think Dan and Justin are amazing hosts, and they create an amazing vibe on this podcast!! However, the listener call-in part cringes me right out. I skip it when I can, but always find myself waking up during the call-in part when I’m listening to this podcast for sleeping. I’m glad that they seem to be phasing this out in the more recent episodes.
