“I’ve been listening to Nerdette regularly since the Tricia and homework days (2016?) Greta is wonderful and brings delight into every show and I am devastated that WBEZ has decided to cancel this show.”

“This is my absolute favorite podcast because Greta, Anna, and all their fun guests make my week each Friday. I love the book club recommendations and the cool stuff they put in the newsletter each week. I heard they’ve been canceled and this makes me so sad, I hope Nerdette gets picked up by...”Read full review »

“I look forward every week to Greta saying “We made it!” It’s my Friday ritual, and I enjoy the panelists discussing “the week that was” as well as the in-depth interviews. Greta feels more like a friend than a podcaster to me.”

“Deeply disappointing that a 3-year retrospective of Covid largely pushes hard the “we’re back to normal” narrative, despite the fact that roughly 2000 Americans are still dying of the disease every week, millions are disabled from long Covid with more joining their ranks daily, vaccines have...”Read full review »

“Constantly shrieking, “ oh my god, oh my god” is tedious enough but to then add “ like “ five times, like, to each, like, sentence is, like, reason for me to, like, press the STOP button and, like, move on to another podcast. Don’t like.”

Also, congratulations on interviewing some of the most misogynistic men from Independent Publishers Group, the female VP of Operations who has worked at the company...”Read full review »

“I used LOVE this show. But the format change to include a weekly roundtable on news, politics, gossip, and COVID is a significant downgrade. If you want a show to look at weird niches of nerd stuff, this is no longer the show for you. Now I just skip half the show or more.”

“This was the week that got me to stop listening. I couldn’t stomach the uninformed speculation about COVID safety (Greta’s feelings aren’t science, and a comedian has no business giving public health advice). The discussion about this week’s heatwave in the Pacific Northwest was similarly...”Read full review »

“Nerdette is like french toast made with Spatz's bread. In other words, it is the perfect form of a potentially perfect product.
In a podcast fight to the death, I would send Greta in against anyone. She would destroy all challengers.
Long live Nerdette!”Read full review »
