“I wonder how many people have unfollowed this podcast after things like the episode, where they sat around, clutching their pearls about BDSM. It’s a pity, because it used to be good, and they should’ve stayed to history.”

“I love the people. Great format and nice blend of topics.
Edit: still excellent a couple years into listening, maybe even better! I, too, have a goofball husband, so I love Chris. Such a treasure, as are Rebecca and Clayton.”

“What a breath of fresh air. Yes, they have their fun with the subject matter but 99% they are serious about what they are reporting. 5 stars”

“I enjoy their break downs of history’s greatest tragedies. I even have learned about some I haven’t even heard of. They add a bit of humor to each episode that makes it a bit lighter than could be.”

“Interesting stories but take them with a grain of salt. The hosts are always determined to blame capitalism, sexism, racism, etc. Many of these events are much more complex than can be explained in half an hour.”

“I’m a first time listener to your podcast. I loved the National Lampoon Christmas episode!
I’ve watched the movie many times over the years. For some reason whenever I hear Jelly of the month club, I picture one of those molded jellies with things inside. They usually contain fruit or other...”Read full review »

“The host claims that this is a comedy podcast but after listening to a couple dozen episodes I think they need to remove that moniker. They have wonderful content but it’s not funny. If they want comedy n the mix they should listen to Last Podcast on the Left and mimic them. I suppose it could be...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. I often catastrophize things also. And worry abt what could go wrong. I made a huge mistake and listened to poop cruise episode day before a large family cruise. Still had great time but thought abt it often. Keep up good work”

“Like so many of the Alarmy, I found the Alarmist podcast through the Office Ladies in December 2022. My OCD wouldn’t let me start with current episodes, so I started all the way back at the pilot and quickly fell in love! I have been binging them all year and end up talking about the episodes...”Read full review »
