A bite-sized adventure that is educational and positive. I love it.

I really liked this podcast. The reason I have it as 1 star is because of the absurd amount of “classic episodes” or “re-listens”. I try to find great podcasts then devotedly run through their entire library until I’m caught up. I just finished going to their library to delete the re-runs. There...Read full review »

The topic is so fantastic but Baudelaire is so hard to understand. He drops his voice and we lose the meaning of what is being spoken. Please re-record Beaudelaire’s podcasts with someone who speaks slowly, enunciates and doesn’t drop his/ her voice.

Two is funnier than one. At least those dorky car guys had fun.

Great show about strange and wonderful places around the world. I always find some interesting episode to listen to.

This podcast has good information but it is despicable the way they normalize and glamorize animal abuse. For that reason I took away 4 stars. Too harsh, no it is not. They end to wake and and evolve as human beings, not only as scientists and/or reporters os science.

12/28/2023: Um, I don’t think Abbey Perreault knows what “anthropomorphizing“ means… Hard to come across as a knowledgeable podcast that way. One of the very best ways to tank your podcast is to have Dan Pashman on an episode (11/23). FYI, Single Malt Scotch isn’t from a “single barrel” FGS....Read full review »

Always enjoy every new installment about our wonderful world. And I also make it a point to listen to the credits at the end to make sure the great “loose flem” is editing things!!

Please, stop with this affection. It’s distracting and makes it appear that you’re too exhausted to finish a sentence.
Mama Dookie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/23
I enjoy the variety and novelty of the show, but the vocal fry of the host for “a long walk home“ was highly distracting. I found myself focusing more on when I would have to hear something like finger nails across a chalkboard, than on the episode content. Are the hosts, typically younger...Read full review »

The content is great and I like that some episodes are just 15-ish minutes because it's hard for me to stay focused sometimes. But, there are so many topics that just leave me wanting more! It would be nice to have more long ones. The rating is missing a star because of the ads. Bad placement...Read full review »

Why does Baudelaire do ALL of the African-related episodes? It’s….strange. If we’re attempting to introduce different cultures to different cultures, then why is this what always occurs? I don’t love it.
1987Liz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/23
Episodes are too short. At minimum, should be 20 mins, not a throw away 15. I mean the content is worth 45 mins per episode but seems like they don’t wanna put in the work. I stopped listening bc the episodes are too short to enjoy. Invest in your work! The episode length makes the podcast so...Read full review »
A Fan, Not of the Host via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/23
The length is ideal for sharing with any Goldilocks. Why does anyone expect their arts and entertainment to be free? I appreciate the podcast enough to listen to a commercial. I love Atlas Obscura and share it with my beloved right before we go to sleep. Thank you dear artists!

Love the Book, Love the Podcast

I enjoy the podcast, but not the fact that they sandwich ads inside the introduction because it interrupts the listener’s ability to get into the story. Please consider putting the ads at the very beginning like everyone else!
cjfranck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/09/23
Amazing podcast! Fun and informational and makes me want to travel. The only reason for 4 stars is that the ads blast your earbuds in the transition from the episode. There is no warning and they seem to mostly be pushy loud ads. Wish they were done by the host Dylan like so many podcasts! Then I...Read full review »
amcnyc123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/23
I enjoy most aspects of the show, though I felt the urge to LUNGE at the pause button during the first 3 minutes of the Fort Elizabeth episode. The narrator threw the word “like” into conversation so many times that I wondered if Atlas Obscura pulled an insecure teenager into the studio off the...Read full review »

My whole family loves the show. Today’s show was the cave in La Jolla, CA. We went there back in 2013, awesome. We also did sea kayaking where you can go in the from the ocean. While out in the surf, our guide mentioned how Dr. Suess had a home there on the cliffs. We noticed how from the water...Read full review »

I enjoy your podcast, so many wonderful places have me intrigued.

Love the podcast but would love more locations outside the US. The Swedish woman with the handbag was great ( but the intro needs to be edited; lots of weird takes of the same intro line ).
Sudodoer via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/03/23
All the host are wonderful, they bring there own perspective to the table and that is what makes the show so interesting. Thank you for doing the leg work. Love hearing and then visiting the wondrous places this world can offer.❤️

What a great way to dive into random and interesting topics that make you go hmmm…and I love the length. The show gets right to the topic without a ton of fluff!

Seriously, or not.

Finally something different about places most didn’t know about. I found a podcast and website where i want to read every single article… I discovered it when setting up my SnailMailChronicles.com project and it was love at first sight! Right up my alley.
ValerieGiguere via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/03/23
I get that this pod is generated in the US but would you consider producing more content from around the world, rather than focusing so heavily on US destinations?
Mimi65009 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/21/23
What a fascinating podcast! I learn so many new things I’ve never ever heard of and never ever would if I did listen to this podcast. Well done guys!!
Lainikins via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/23
On the whole I do enjoy this podcast and getting to learn about all these sorts of hidden gems of the world, but the various hosts really can be hit or miss. Several of the main female hosts have such severe vocal fry that it’s difficult to understand them in any setting with background...Read full review »

Why. Why. Vocal fry?? Interesting topics, really want to love listening but it’s like Valley Girls made a podcast.

Great episode on Chopin’s heart.

I need more episodes featuring Bernie Harberts and his mule.
MeaMeaOT7 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/08/23
Just listened to the Lake Lanier episode. The podcast struck the perfect tone and was informative, entertaining, and intimate feeling for being so short and sweet. Well done!

Beautifully collated, informative bite sized stories & reports of the exotic, the unusual and the little known. The narration is wonderfully descriptive and evocative & instantly transports you to the far away land or to the base of an unusual structure or natural formation. This is...Read full review »

This is literally the perfect podcast for my cross-town commute. Nothing stressful, always interesting, snack-sized podcasts. Love, love, love it!

Just listened to your episode on the Moon Trees. I have been fascinated by them since I was a young girl and we would drive by the Siskiyou smokejumper museum Outside cave junction Oregon on Highway 199. I now have a goal to visit more of the Moon Trees and I have emailed the curator of the...Read full review »
