Magical Overthinkers

I’m a huge fan of Amanda Montell’s writing, and this podcast feels like everything my brain craves all packaged together in compelling hour-long episodes. Amanda is in top form, leading with vulnerability and self awareness as she interviews her stellar guests. As different as the topics are, I always walk away feeling more informed, equipped, and of course more seen as an anxious/magical overthinker. Thank you, Amanda & team! Love everything about this show and can’t recommend it enough. PS: while it might not be important to everyone, this podcast has the most beautiful music to the point that I try to listen on quality speakers. It’s that satisfying. 😂 Way to go, Casey!

Perfect for people like me who love to deep dive a difficult subject but lack the cognitive focus and time. The topics are super relevant to the now, and it’s helped normalize a lot of my own thought spirals!

I learnt about this show via Sounds Like A Cult, and I’m now a big fan! I love the tone, the structure and content. It gives so much peace and solace despite addressing hard topics (Burnout, Death). Perfect podcast for curious chronic anxiety balls🧶, who live by irrational thought spirals🤓

I literally can’t stop thinking about this episode and have referenced it in conversation at least 4 times in the past week! It offers such an insightful and helpful framework through which to navigate the difficult nuances of adult friendship with a level of depth and vulnerability to the conversation that I so desperately crave in this scroll-y world of oversimplification. Amanda consistently delivers as a host, always finding a way to beautifully articulate an overwhelm I’ve experienced 100 times but couldn’t find voice for. I especially applaud the way she approached this episode post election. Her authenticity and strength are inspiring and infectious, and while I LOVE Sounds Like A Cult, Magical Overthinkers is raising the bar for cultural commentary in such an incredible way that is quickly becoming my new favorite.
