What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As I hid from my cat I listen to this podcast. Expecting laughs, and sure, there were some funny moments. But then they dropped the ball big time: none of them seemed to know that Frasier was about a successful Boston therapist before he moved to Seattle. How do you run a comedy podcast and not know one of the most iconic characters in TV history? I mean, come on! I was genuinely shocked and honestly a little upset. That’s what I would have written if I was you. Honestly I can’t tell you how happy I was when the hosts admitted they had no idea what Frasier Crane did for a living on the sitcom Frasier. Everyone always acts like it’s common knowledge, and I’ve felt like the only one in the dark. Hearing them stumble through it was hilarious and oddly validating.

Frasier Crane Bane · Sep 2025

This podcast has kept me sane and giggling my entire adult life. If you like silliness and joy, do yourself a favor and dive right in. No bad eps, but I recommend starting with a celeb you like and/or Lisa Gilroy, Paul F Tompkins, Vic Michaelis, Andy Daly… I could go on and on. Love you Scotty Aux n the gang ♥️

Kdeinlystykb · Nov 2024

I’ve listened to every episode, and the Farts and Procreation episodes a dozen times each. I’ll listen forever. Phenomenal. It evolved over time, and every year I love the new people who come in with brilliant characters, as well as the old classics. Not just my favorite podcast, it’s my favorite thing in all of entertainment.

I cannot remember how I discovered this podcast, but It delights me no end… admittedly I start by searching around for people I’m a fan of, but that is how I discover unfamiliar names and become a fan of them too! I’m finally taking time to write a review because I just listened to a re-release of a Samberg / Lapkus ep and I was dying over the multiple attempts at singing Hollywood Facts from memory. This podcast just makes me happy 🙂

I’ve been listening to this show for about 10 years. It’s declined to the point where every week I ask myself why I bothered listening to the latest episode. Maybe it’s me, maybe I don’t understand the humor anymore. But I’ve been giving this show the benefit of the doubt for months now and I’d say every one in 10-15 episodes is worth the time.

wccffe · Aug 2024

This is a TOUGH listen. Downloaded a few episodes of actors/celebrities I enjoy, and jumped in. Couldn’t get through 10 minutes of the Andy Samburg episode. Tried two others and same result. I’m pretty open-minded with comedy podcasts and enjoy some that go over-the-top or are edge, but this one was brutal to listen to.
