What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and a lot of different genres. I listen to comedy podcasts from comedians who make me laugh, but have horrible takes when they try to talk about serious matters I listen to history, podcasts, I listen to food podcasts, I listen to pop culture podcasts… But Bret and Heather are the Gold standard for when I wanna think about serious things in a serious adult way. They appeal to the best in you, and their journeys are amazing. Their stories are fascinating and their takes are pretty much spot on across the board.

So glad I discovered Bret from his many appearances on the JRE podcast (especially during the COVID years). The dynamic between him and Heather is wonderfully strong, and mentally helps restores my faith in humanity. I’m an atheist, but still appreciate this podcast’s sentiment towards human health. THANK YOU for all the work you two do!

somemetaldudemang · Jun 2026

A variety of topics are discussed in this podcast, keeping me entertained and informed. Heather and Bret’s chemistry is fantastic. They’re pleasant to listen to. Heather has a wonderfully calming voice and speaks with confidence. I love them both and will continue to be a loyal listener. I would be thrilled if Heather were to start a podcast on her own where she primarily speaks on feminism and the challenges biological women face with our muliebrity being redefined. We need thoughtful, eloquent voices, like Heather’s, to be amplified.

So nice to listen to intelligent people’s views on world events, politics & nature. Don’t have to always agree with what they say, but so nice to hear an opinion and an explanation as to how they came to that conclusion/opinion on said topic

2022tom · May 2026

This used to be a reliable place for rigorous and candid thought. These days they seem to be placating the right leaning side of their audience, mostly by avoiding subjects that would force them to confront their past decisions.
