Love this show

I think the Covid years were tough on Judge John Hodgman, but it seems like they’re really getting back into the groove of things. Interesting disputes explored and adjudicated by an intelligent, thoughtful duo.

❤️My Favorite Podcast

I tell everyone I know about this show. When I’m feeling down, it’s my go to, for a quick pick-me-up. I love the middle ground judgments and dry (sometimes not so dry) humor. When faced with a conflict, I often ask myself “what would Judge Hodgman say about this?” 🧐

Too good to fall asleep to

Even though John Hodgman publicly shamed me in 2014 for bringing my daughter to a grown up comedy show I’ve become obsessed with this podcast. JJH dispenses real wisdom and has genuine compassion for the litigants.
