What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This show is great… the easy pace, the tangents, and personal stories all work. I disagree with reviews criticizing Eugene. He is amazing! And Trevor, please keep addressing South Africa’s xenophobic attacks. Your voice matters as long as the issue persists!

Destiny- Oye · Oct 2026

I found the episode very interesting. I will definitely read the book. If I could have asked Adam one question during the podcast, it would have been, what are people who have a chronic physical medical condition that has completely erased who they once were and left them housebound, supposed to do to help build and maintain relationships? The questions and answers during the podcast were good, but they applied to able bodied people. I am sure that there are a lot of listeners, like me, with physical limitations who tune into this podcast (and other people’s podcasts) because it is the only/limited exposure they can get to the outside world.

Lisard01 · Oct 2026

I was instantly hooked by the quality and variety of guests being booked. Fascinating topics and I love the easy banter between Trevor and Eugene. Eugene has added some real insights to the conversations and I love his perspectives on the show.

Formerduofanbutnolonger · Sep 2026

The only thing that would make me love this podcast more would be getting to physically sit in the room with Trevor and Eugene and to have the intellect and wit to hang with them and the guest. I appreciate the variety of perspective and the consistent thoughtfulness that Trevor, Eugene, and their guests demonstrate throughout the conversations they are having. You all make me want to be a more informed, less judgmental, mentally agile person Lastly, Eugene’s laugh is the best, I cannot relate to the people on here complaining about it.

herbharlot · Sep 2026

Trevor Noah is one of the most important voices of our age. The best What Now episodes were the first ones. Trevor started out really strong but the last six months or so, the spark is gone. He will likely get it back so I’ll keep checking in periodically.

Yarnfreak · Oct 2026

I am happy to see Trevor has a close friendship with Eugene but their banter is hard to follow and Eugene’s laugh is grating in my earbuds. I love Trevor’s humor and insights and the interesting guests he’s had on the show. However, I am sad to unfollow the show until Eugene steps away from being co-host.
