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

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!
Meh

The producers of this show must have a similar media diet to me because they often cover topics that were already done well by others. I didn’t listen to the flying while fat episode for a while because Ronald Young Jr’s podcast, Weight for It, did such a great job and I didn’t know what PJ could add. Well, turns out he was just going to basically re-air the Weight for It episode. That’s just lazy, and it’s not the first time I’ve felt this way about Search Engine. Also, PJ, the media doesn’t have a “liberal bias”, it has a fact-based bias. Check yourself.

I’m constantly sharing episodes with my friends and find myself thinking and talking about them. The latest one on AI and homework is like a happy smorgasbord for my brain.
Must listen to!
