Reply All - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been listening to Reply All since 2018 or so. I remember binging all the episodes and then getting really excited every time a new one came out. I listened to this podcast throughout so many important milestones in my life. This podcast got me through long, boring experiments in grad school, countless roadtrips, many sleepless nights, flights, and even a cross-country move. I always put on old episodes before bed and fall asleep to Yes Yes No (and Alex’s laugh). My feelings towards the show have been complicated since the Bon Appétit episodes, but this show still brings me so much comfort.
Thank you to the entire team - PJ, Alex, Emanuel, Phia, Shruthi, Damiano, and anyone else I might have missed ❤️

A friend recommended reply_all amongst a variety of podcasts. I tried this one first, from the first episode, and have not stopped listening since. I love that they get right into the subject matter. There’s a minimal amount of banter that happens (but it’s funny when it does!), and not a ton of shameless plugs.

I’ll never know the full extent of what happened behind the scenes, so I can’t say for sure that PJ shouldn’t have left. I stuck by the podcast after that, and although it wasn’t always as good, I appreciated the hard work put in by Emmanuel and the rest of the team to try and make something out of the situation they were in.

What I do know is that as one half of what made this show so special for so long, PJ deserved to have his name mentioned, and his work recognized, in the goodbye episode. The way you made him a persona non grata without any sufficient explanation as to why was downright confusing for much of the audience.

I won’t let this ending spoil what was an unbelievable run for Reply All. One of the best podcasts ever. But as a human being, PJ deserved to be treated with more respect and empathy.

I feel like I’m losing a good friend!

For the past 7 years, you guys just got better and better. I recommend this podcast to EVERYONE. Thanks for being extremely smart, relevant and entertaining. And thanks for your hard word.

I really hope Gimlet resurrects this podcast someday again soon in the not too distant feature. N.B. to its successors: you have big shoes to fill.

It’s been heartbreaking to watch this show lose itself. I grew being inspired and filled with wonder and hope for the world by PJ, Alex, and the team of Reply All. It was a wonderful concept beautifully executed! I suppose this nihilistic end is fitting for a show about the internet… but it’s still been gut wrenching to witness.

I started listening to TLDR and was skeptical when it became Reply All, thinking it would be a sellout. It wasn’t. Back then, was great, even if I didn’t know what was happening all the time. PJ was sparklers on the 4th of July; Alex was the safe-zone your parents made so the sparklers wouldn’t burn down the house. After PJ, no sparklers, just safe zone. Congrats to everyone who worked on the show, who made it great, or tried to keep it great. But it was time to go. I think we’re at Yes, Yes, Yes.
