I love this topic, and loved Amanda’s conversation with her mom. Nuanced and funny as always. The opening and closing questions are always fun fodder for thought.

I love this show and realize : I’m a magical over thinker too. It is highly informative, funny, and honestly, helpful. I especially loved the episode on toxins with mom and daughter, who, by the way. ARE THE CUTEST! Thank you and keep overthinking.

Keep going Amanda! Our collective sanity needs your vulnerability to put it all in perspective. Sending courage ❤️

The conversation I have in my head but want to have in real life with a thoughtful intelligent friend. These are conversations I crave!

Amanda puts a lot of thought into her podcasts. I’ve really enjoyed this one as well as Sounds Like A Cult. My two favourite episodes so far have been overthinking about narcissists, and overthinking about toxins. Well done!

I really enjoy the lighthearted exploration of topics that feel VERY important to our times. The show dives in when it needs to but also keeps things from ACTUALLY going into a spiral.

I’m not an overthinker myself, but I really enjoy the way Amanda presents information, and her voice is pleasant and comforting. I followed this project out of loyalty, but stick around for the unique perspective on so many interesting topics.

I found Amanda through her book Cultish which led me to her podcasts, and I am in love! I love how she balances deep levels of research on every topic and silly relatable energy.

So happy to follow Amanda from “Cultish” to “Sounds like a Cult” to “The Magical Age of Overthinking” to “Magical Overthinkers.” I appreciate the mix of fun and silly mixed with thoughtful and kind.

This podcast is a breath of fresh air. It’s hard to find podcasters who coordinate discussions with experts this well-researched and intelligent. I haven’t found another one like it.

Great show!! Apparently MAGA is upset cuz calling out the insanity is considered biased.
Madame Lexy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/24
Great idea for a show! Some topics are interesting to me and others aren’t, but what brings this from 4 stars to 3 is the sheer quantity of ads that have been shoehorned in! It’s really jarring and annoying that Amanda will be practically mid-sentence and then 2 minutes of ads kick in suddenly...Read full review »

Some of these episodes are actually very great and informative. But some of them are on the spectrum of cringe and eye roll worthy.
Morgs2011 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/24
Loved this podcast, naturally, because I’m an over-thinker. The topics have been really fun and relatable. That was until the Election episode. I’m an independent middle of the road voter who happens to be very uninterested in hearing the host and her guests be largely biased against...Read full review »

As an over thinker a lot of these topics are my head and I love listening to similar perspectives & also hearing professionals talk about stuff like narcassism
mowwcat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/24
I love this show but Amanda please go to the dentist.
Granbearr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/24
A little too rehearsed and self-centered
lidia___011 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/24
I love Amanda's books and the podcasts she's grown from two of them. Magical Overthinkers is quickly becoming my favorite. The balance between authentic vulnerability, deep thinking and lighthearted silliness eases listeners into deep dives on topics they might not even realize they care...Read full review »

I’m a fan of yours/Amanda’s podcast work at Sounds Like A Cult already and was interested to see where she was gonna take this one. As a dead center, card carrying GenXer I got hooked once again after listening to the Millennial Cringe episode. Describing Boomers as “earnest” is so dead on. I...Read full review »

I was reluctant about this podcast. A bit about magical things. However this lady cusses and reminds me of a female Joe Rogan.
Dickson City, PA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/19/24
Great topics to dive into! Every episode is engaging and scratches an itch in my brain.
sunnyjax95 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/24
But the host’s inherent bias towards conservatives is repulsive.
CathSerbs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/24
But the host's manner of speaking irritates me. I couldn't bear to hear her say "delulu" one more time without screaming.Read full review »

Five stars.

I absolutely love Amanda Montell’s work and this podcast series feels like a light hearted way to handle the chaos of the world! It helps bring me some more perspective and calm the nerves down.

Most perfect show to accidentally stumble into! Delightful, funny, educational, entertaining! I laugh thinking…. Could I possibly be over thinker? Is this why I like this? The answer is of course and always was.. DUH! Fun show.
Laura See via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/24
I love her books and her Cultish podcast so I was so excited to check out Overthinking! And it’s her signature deep dive journalism combined with her engaging personality and great guests. Such a fun way to overthink!
tofulish via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/24
I’m already a big fan of Amanda’s writing—have all 3 of her books!—and her insights and whit absolutely carry over to audio format. Give it a listen!

Digestible but insightful deep dives into relatable topics that simultaneously remind us we’re not alone in our thought spirals while giving the sociological and psychological context necessary to get out of them!! Amanda is SO brilliant and funny and her guests are clearly subject matter...Read full review »

Such interesting topics I didn’t even know I could overthink about! Can’t wait to see what else I can think through!

After reading Wordslut, I was excited to check out this podcast. Amanda’s a great orator and the pod is super informative!

Absolutely love anything Amanda Montell and this podcast is no different. Informative, fun, and making over thinkers everywhere feel less alone 🫶🏻

From relatable thought spirals to fantastic book recommendations, this podcast has it all. I can’t wait for more episodes.
Alulkovitz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/24
I adore Amanda Montell’s content and love having an audio form of it! As a fellow overthinker, I find this show super insightful and the content super relatable. Don’t overthink it, just listen to it!
anna_iluj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/24
I feel this is a great learning podcast and educational in the art of magical overthinking in the age of too much consumption of information. I love how it’s based off of Amanda’s book which I might have done this backwards listening to podcast before reading book. Overthinkers can’t be choosers...Read full review »

Recently, my entire team at work got laid off, and the episode of this podcast about lay offs has actually been super helpful for us in navigating such a tough time. I love how Amanda approaches these topics!
hanmichelleb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/24
This show makes a girlie with anxiety feel less alone. I relate to the topics and find some of the tips at the end of the show useful.

I found this show by accident and was immediately intrigued! Great topics discussed! Very throughly researched as well!

Really enjoy this show. Awesome insight and it is great to know there are other over-thinkers out there!

It is a great show and so entertaining!
Cata Campos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/24
The social media episode with Britt Frank was more helpful to me than entire years of therapy. I had never thought about addressing things the way she presented them. I’m getting her book and looking into IFS now. I’m so glad I found this podcast! The other episodes I’ve listened to thus far have...Read full review »
Sothisiscool via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/24
The podcast is a newer production but relies heavily on already established interview formats while not invoking new conversations from guests. Tone is not a fun or engaging as the hosts other podcast. It feels more removed and dismissive of people who aren’t upper middle class white collar...Read full review »

This podcast is lighthearted yet incredibly insightful and relevant. I have loved all of the interviews so far and have recommend MO to all of my overthinky pals.
beeea2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/24
Another great podcast from the mind of Amanda Montell!
Upmyali via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/24
Highly relatable and makes me feel better about my own thought spirals (even gives tips at the end on how to calm those overthinking moments we all have!) If you are a Millennial mom with people pleasing, overthinking, anxiety tendencies... you will LOVE.
