Incredibly detailed and well-researched show. It’s my family’s new favorite. We especially loved the Viruses in the Air episode, and the history of the Wells family (coming from someone who works in public health). Bravo! Can’t wait for more episodes.
Thank you for asking the right Q and chasing down the answers!

Similar to having “comfort” TV shows, I also have comfort podcasts where I love listening, regardless of today’s topic. Reply All was my favorite podcast of all time for both the subject matter and the hosts - and I loved their dynamic together. I listened to every episode. I’m so happy to have another PJ - podcast. I admit, I dont always find the subject matter as compelling- but I listen to about 85% of the episodes because there is something about PJ’s delivery and laugh. My favorite was the multi-part episodes about fentanyl and why it ends up in so many drugs and causes so many deaths - something seemingly bad for drug dealers/makers. It was a great subject and great delivery. Keep up the good work.
Reply All fans, this one's for you

Such a fascinating podcast. As a longtime lover of the Reply All podcast, it's so great to have PJ back doing a very similar kind of podcast -- just about way more than the Internet and technology. Great deep dives on so many topics!
Always Fascinating and Thoughtful

PJ Vogt is back with his thoughtful and fascinating takes that will surprise and move you to think and feel in different ways. One of my favorite podcasts out of hundreds I listen to.
Real Journalism!

One of my favorite podcasts on this planet! The episode on the USA Made grill scrubber is exactly what the world needs right now. Keep up the good work!

Dumb tech bro

PJ is just too dumb and insipid to carry the show, which is a shame because the format works really well (although it’s hardly original…). It helps that the whole format is based on PJ talking to people who are much smarter than him, but it only makes his shortcomings as a host more glaring. He postures as some tech expert but to talk about tech in 2025 requires a spine and ideally a moral compass. The last thing we need is one more Just Asking Questions guy. I should have given up when Search Engine posted a tone deaf episode about hating work… with no mention of their history of union busting and targeting their employees. Listen to Hyperfixed!
