Judge John Hodgman

So much fun. This is what I listen to when I need a relief from all the stress in the world. It is light listening, if you want it to be, but often I am moved, too.

If you are looking for a podcast, that will make you laugh, this is the one for you. My wife, who is a whole human being in her own right, and I love to listen when we are in the car together and we’re starting to get our kids into it as well. Highly recommend this podcast for all.!

This review is long overdue as Judge John Hodgman has been an integral part of my well-being practice for years. I listen to a lot of political, news based, and social justice podcasts so you can imagine my daily cup of doom spilleth over. The antidote? Judge John Hodgman! The repartee between the Judge, Bailiff Jesse, guest bailiffs, producers Jennifer and Joel, and litigants has me snorting with laughter frequently. And if you are able, go to a live show! Actually, if you aren’t able, go find a way to correct that and go now! I took my wonderful niece to the recent show in DC and we had a tremendous time seeing possibly haunted art with our own eyes. In these very troubled times where each day feels like a new obstacle to our rights is rolled out, we gotta take our joy where we can. Take it from Judge John Hodgman and you won’t be disappointed.

Answer: yes. This show always makes me feel better, whether it is Jesse's uncontrollable giggling at a derpy dog picture, the Judge's disdain for corny puns, or just the comfort of knowing that I'm not the only one with idiosyncratic schemes.
