What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I love how he treats his guests. He always knows what they’ve been up to and details about the things that they have been working on. I love the fact that he bakes bread for each person and does his research to find the “uncomfortable moment” questions. I feel like you really get to know the people on the podcast in a way that is genuine and deeper than other types of interviews. Tom really knows how to show respect to his guests and make them feel seen so that they can open up and show us a new side of them that we don’t see when they are in the spotlight. What a great human being.

I went to Tom Papas stand up show in Thousand Oaks a couple nights ago. He was HILARIOUS. I love it that he came out to the merch table and signed books, shook hands, and took pictures. What a warm, down to earth, friendly, talented man. I will drive the four hours to see him again!

#1Papa fan · Apr 2025

I look forward to Tom’s podcast every week. Love conversations with smart people! Tom creates a nice warm space where it feel great to laugh along. And dog stories are always fun too.

Dr R Resnik Psych · Mar 2025

With all the confrontational bro podcasts trying to be edgy, it’s nice to hear nice people having polite, funny and enlightening conversations. Tom even inspired me to take up bread making.

RevivalReel · Dec 2024

Very funny until midway thru when it started getting political. Most people are looking to escape politics after getting barraged all day and night on the news and online - disappointing enough where I just had to turn it off. Be comical not political.
