What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Like so many I don’t miss a Blindboy episode. Smart, open, funny, joyful, honest and fascinating each time. Blindboy is an artist who cares about his output. Ever so grateful for what he creates here.

PMcIntosh1 · Mar 2026

I started listening to some more recent episodes and decided to start back from the beginning to familiarize myself with the lore of the podcast. I’m a bit over halfway now and this is easily one of my all time top favorites. Blindboy finds such interesting subjects to talk about and he’s also great story teller while he makes such good use of humor in it all. This Yank from Wisconsin is a big fan for sure!

Graham Cee · Mar 2026

No topic is off limits and Blindboy manages to approach everything with a sincerity, enchantment, irreverence and humor. In the same episode I’ll find myself laughing out loud, getting choked up, coming face to face with the glory of Nature and wanting to start a revolution and that’s all before the ocarina pause. I only hope that one day he may count me among the Ten Foot Declans but regardless I get loads of mirth, merriment, distraction and education. How does a monologue feel like the closest thing to community on the internet? I think it’s Druidic magic.

BobinGR · Jan 2026

Blindboy covers every topic I have ever wanted to delve into and ones I didn’t know I needed. I can’t find the words to describe how much I adore him and his writing. As a parent to an autistic child I cannot wait to share his works with my child one day. Thank you Blindboy, for doing it all and for making me giggle with you along the way.
