Long-time listener

Been listening to it from the start. I loved the concept and the people involved right away and thought it would last one or two years, because we don’t deserve nice things.

Many years passed and JJH has been my go-to podcast through three international moves, two long-term relationships, and a number of different occupations. I feel like I grew up with it a bit. I look forward to many more years of amazingly weird cases.

Over a decade of listening!

I started listening to the Judge John Hodgman podcast over 10 years ago! It is crazy that I just realized that, I am pretty certain I haven’t missed an episode since and I have even gone back to some of the earlier episodes that I had missed. I can’t think of a better endorsement, other than I think listening to this show will generally make you a better human. And I’m loving the new YouTube content! Thanks John & Jesse & Jennifer & all of the people who make the pod! 🫶

Why?

I am a MaxFun member and have enjoyed the JJHO show for years.
As much as I love it, though, I may not listen again until their Van Freaks Roadshow is concluded and Hodgman ceases and desists with his insufferable impression of Tom Waits.
I’m sure it is meant as a tribute, but it sounds like the way in which everyone I’ve know who dislikes Waits mocks him.
Your honor, show him some proper honor by singing Waits’ beautiful songs in your natural voice. There is more to life than annoying your bailiff.
