“Such a soothing podcast. It definitely helps me fall asleep, but even when I don’t want to sleep it has a calming effect. Also, I can to back episodes over and over again. I highly recommend The Empty Bowl. One side effect is that it has turned me into a cereal enthusiast. 5 stars.”

“So calm! So relaxing! So wonderful. This is the calming podcast I never knew I needed in my life. I like cereal an average amount (I am not crazy about it but I do have a couple of boxes in my pantry). But that’s not what this is really about. You don’t have to be a cereal fanatic to enjoy this...”Read full review »

“I just started listening and thought “this is the podcast for me” and it’s relaxing and calm, with also an unique and interesting topic of cereal. This lets me get away from school, homework, grades, all that school stuff. Please make more episodes”

“I love this podcast, I think Dan and Justin are amazing hosts, and they create an amazing vibe on this podcast!!
However, the listener call-in part cringes me right out. I skip it when I can, but always find myself waking up during the call-in part when I’m listening to this podcast for...”Read full review »

“My favorite episodes are the ones with
Laughter and one of the hosts laughing through the sentence “this is supposed to be a relaxing podcast” it’s just a great podcast for any occasion. Dog walks, or bed time seem to be the most common for me! Keep it up I look
Forward to everyone! 🥣🥣🥣🥣”

“I routinely fall asleep to this show, and it certainly works for that, but also find myself going back to actually listen to each episode in earnest as well. I don’t even eat cereal, and I am absolutely hooked on all the cereal news! Thanks so much guys!”

There were maybe 12 episodes out when I first started listening and I...”Read full review »

“This podcast is a delight. Justin and Dan invite you sit with them next to a warm campfire on a peaceful beach. Here, you can sit, relax and casually listen to their comforting cereal fascination. Perfect for sleep or whenever you need to feel calm.”

While it is very relaxing, I unfortunately cannot listen to it when I go to bed because...”Read full review »

“One of my favorites from the McElroy-verse. Very relaxing with some good chuckles, and perfect for any breakfast cereal lover (I try out Dan’s recs whenever I can). The release schedule isn’t super consistent, so it’s always a nice surprise when I see a new episode up.”

“I am pretty sure if the Sleepytime Tea Bear listened to podcasts, this would be his favorite. It is the best to listen to while getting all cozy, ready to relax or go to sleep. It also gives me an idea of what cereals I want to keep an eye out for. Amazing podcast.”
