“Crazy Town is like that wise, hilarious friend who hands you a glass of reality with a twist of humor, just when you thought you couldn’t handle another sip. It’s the podcast you never knew you needed to help you laugh through the tears of the world’s absurdity. Somehow, they manage to tackle the...”Read full review »

“To the therapists at Crazy Town,
I’m a doomer according to everyone i try to tell about the human predicament too. Most of the time i and end up apologizing for going to the places nobody wants to.
I usually get my Resilience.org fix every day and admit i skipped over Crazy Town until last...”Read full review »

“In an era of complacent ignorance, Crazy Town provides me with a lifeline to not only keep my head up, but even get into some good trouble. Delightfully witty, shamelessly self-critical and occasionally mind-bending, the hosts choose one topic each episode and begin peeling the layers off tired...”Read full review »

“I do recommend this podcast to everyone concerned about the future. They question the absurd world we live in—CrazyTown—which is the only sane thing to do. Keep it up, and do go beyond critique to building the foundations for a new world view —forafuture.com”
