“This is one of the first podcasts I started listening to when I got my first smartphone in 2013, and one of the few if not the only one that has endured. It has wonderfully weird guests, and the judgements are actually wise, insightful and warm hearted. Also it feels great to support an employee...”Read full review »

“Judge John Hodgman is a winner
We listen to him while we eat dinner
His baliff, Jesse, really adds to the case
If you give less stars then you’re off base!”

“Judge John Hodgman, Bailiff Jesse Thorne, and their many interesting, funny, and sometimes profound disputes and decisions are the perfect entertainment. Thoughtful and intelligent, the Judge dispenses wisdom and comedy in equal measure.”

“This series and all of the people involved - the Judge, the bailiff, the litigants, the producers, the guest judges, bailiffs, witnesses, producers, sound engineers, and all of the members - are awesome.
The Merriam-Webster people though need to stick to being descriptive, not prescriptive....”Read full review »

The Judge and Bailiff, John Hodgman and Jessie Thorn, respectively, are great listeners and have incredible insight into human communication, behavior, and conflict resolution. All discussions are full of humor, (usually) levity and...”Read full review »

“If John Hodgman made the rules instead of god, or whatever, we would all be happier. Listen to this podcast and read Vacationland and Medallion Status, and you will become a better person, especially (but not exclusively) if you are a middle-aged, cis-het, white, weird dad like me. Thank you...”Read full review »

“I love this show. I recommend it to the folks on my team. It’s a beautiful example of how to take a disagreement and decompose it into something that is easier to understand and negotiate to a solution. If I can’t get them all to read “Getting to Yes”, at least I can get them to listen to...”Read full review »

“Jessie and Judge John keep the world from spiralling into lost dimensions with their unbiased ( mostly) takes, their enthusiasms, whats two different peoples enthusiasm?…Their enthusiasthma.
I’ve been listening pretty much since the start and it still makes me happy,

“As a criminal defense attorney, it is delightful to listen to the Judge adjudicate disputes fairly, compassionately, and in accordance with the Court’s precedent. Even silly disputes often involve the finding of a crux that implicates how we all treat each other, gender roles, autonomy, and other...”Read full review »

“This is a comedy podcast. It has dumb jokes, running gags, and frequent (too frequent?) songs sung in the style of Tom Waits. It is also a fake internet courtroom, where the cases have dire consequences (should one eat a decades old ham?). But the crux is this: this is a humane podcast about...”Read full review »
