I agree with the need for growth, this new format just feels like the wrong corrections. Content feels sadder for some reason.

Please, I beg(!!!), fix the audio. This weeks episode is unbearable as the guests are basically a whisper in comparison to your mic. The new format is good on YouTube, but horrific as a regular podcast. The audio has one person screaming and the other whispering. Without the visuals, it’s...Read full review »

Obsessed with everything Jared does. Would recommend any and all of his podcasts and can’t come to terms with giving anything less than a five star review. But please Jared…listen to the audience and ditch this new format! I applaud you for trying something new and taking it in a new direction...Read full review »

Jared, love you, love your podcasts, loved the special. The new format is not working. I too have stopped listening regularly because of the chaotic structure being unpleasant, but mostly your sound levels are all over the place. I understand that sound engineering isn’t your wheelhouse so I’m...Read full review »

I thoroughly enjoyed the old Jtrain podcast and especially luxury lounge so I wanted to give Jared a chance to work out the kinks with his new format. But, for me, the show has lost its appeal. The audio level problems have Jared screaming while the other guests are often inaudible. I’m...Read full review »

Jared, you’re great and the new version is so funny but the audio is so bad in these episodes. Mics are not at the same level for each guest which makes it very hard to listen to. Also, the producer’s laugh in the background is highly unprofessional.

Jtrain used to be my favorite podcast. I have been a Patreon member for many many years (and still am). I used to listen to this podcast right when it came out. Now it sits on my phone until I have run out of other pods. I can’t even make it through an episode, or if I do, I find that I tune it...Read full review »

Great Podcast.
Kellyk2kellyk2 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/25/24
huge fan for probably 6+ years now, have been to your shows, and just unsubscribed to the patreon. I’ve given the format a solid try for a few months now, and while it’s no longer for me I couldn’t be more excited to see where it takes you - hopefully more in the direction you’re looking to...Read full review »

Sad to go, I miss the old format and Jared’s songs. I can’t get behind the poor audio and sometimes trying to keep up with sometimes MULTIPLE voices speaking at once. It would’ve been nice to see Jared only change 1 episode a week instead of switching up cold turkey. Nonetheless, wishing him the...Read full review »

This was my favorite podcast and I eagerly looked forward to it every single week. Since the new format change however I’ve been unable to get through a single episode because of the distraction from too many guests competing to get attention, poor audio quality and the lack of compelling emails...Read full review »
Horseyingaround via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/17/24
I loved luxury lounge & coffee with jtrain. The new format is really hard to listen to though so now I’ve just lost two pods that I listened to every week! Aside from the audio issues everyone else already mentioned, the content is all over the place & the laugh in the background drives...Read full review »

The girls from Girls Gotta Eat mentioned Jared So many times in their podcasts that I went and listened to U Up?. It quickly became my favorite podcast. I couldn’t love it more and I wish there was a daily version of that show! I needed more content so I jumped to Jared’s podcast and it’s just...Read full review »
vrelrod12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/24
Updated and last review: Can’t listen anymore Jared. Format is still a mess, sound is not worth the money you are paying, two guests are too many, where’s the good stuff (life advise and luxury lounge), why are you commenting on visuals/ videos on a podcast? Why are we spending the whole episode...Read full review »
Sara Abdul via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/06/24
Jared, I am a huge fan, you are hilarious. Please keep the podcast more light hearted. I’m here for the new journey but not for the political guests. We’re here to put our brain on the shelf. More luxury lounge less politics.
Melsey78910 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/24
Love Jared, long time listener of the pod, but I do miss his songs and the old format. I also miss the peaceful way I could listen to each episode without hearing the producer laughing loudly and incessantly in the background. Her laugh is over the top and is a huge distraction. I am sorry but I...Read full review »
Cookiewonder22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
This new format is really confusing to follow. Most of the time I can’t tell if how the episode is stitched together is intentional or if there was a mistake in post production that got uploaded to the feed. Audio quality really jumps all over the place. Finding this harder and harder to listen to.
EvanDThomas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
I love you but yikes the new format is awful. Please bring back the luxury lounge. This sounds like every other bro podcast. The sound quality is terrible now.
Jbuuuuggggggggggggggggg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
I say this with love - the poor audio and lack of clean , quality production in this new format is hard to listen to . As well as that new woman cohosts laugh. Get a producer who can improve the quality and create a better structured format. Missing the old J train.
Laurel Paliatina via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
Used to love the show. Also the old pod pic was much better!
FrancesLVM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/26/24
Long time JTrain fan and enjoy the new format of the show. However, the producer laughing in the background has made this borderline unlistenable. It’s so distracting and unnecessary. Also please please please- bring back luxury lounge! It was a such a unique and fun portion of the internet!

Dying laughing at the Feb 4 episode about the shirt flying off in the airplane HAHAHA
tessaeliason via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/24
I won’t give you less than 5 stars, but I am really struggling with the new format. Here is the main issue for me (and maybe others in my demographic??). I am a 45 year old married mother and I just cannot in any way relate to relationship talk. I listened to Luxury Lounge religiously and loved...Read full review »

Love all things J-Train but please fix the audio. My poor ears either can’t hear or being blown out.
pandaaaa09 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
I have been a listener since the beginning and the new format I can’t stand to keep on for more than 60 seconds. It is a nightmare for people with ADD/ADHD with the various co-hosts and banter and the sound quality sounds so much worse than before in his apartment. I have tried 3 of the new...Read full review »

Long time listener and I so look forward to my J-Train fix. However, the recent changes have me feeling disappointed. The content is so disjointed and it’s difficult to follow. I get trying to mix it up, but this feels like an over correction.
lisareads85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/24
Listened to Jtrain since 2020 and have loved his show up until now. Not at fan of the new format, sounds like the show has gone backwards and not forwards. The audio needs work and the show needs more structure with fewer guests. I understand the idea behind, just not excited well. Jared is so...Read full review »

To quote Taylor Swift, “You’re Losing Me”, Jared.
slushie444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
Listened to jordanas ep bc I love you two on U Up. I found myself getting bored as you were talking. I think there needs to be more structure and plan to the episodes. The prior ones we can blame the guests being too rambunctious but I think this episode highlighted that 1) an hour of rambling...Read full review »
pastabow via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/24
This podcast has completely changed. It’s new a generic bro comedy podcast with second rate comedians trying to out funny each other. No thanks, I’m out. Also out on the Patreon too. I’m sad because this was my #1 podcast.
backstreetsbackALLRIGHT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/24
The ick was coined by women. You had a crowd work bit about it. It’s great. You do not own the concept of the ick or making comedy about ick. You sound defensive and insecure and bitter about Taylor’s success. Not a good look.
JessieBrooke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/24
I strongly believe that if you’re not passionate about the work, it won’t be at its best — so I’m glad Jared decided the old format wasn’t inspiring him anymore and made a change. I also know one of his goals was to expand to a broader audience beyond UUp and Betchlor. For a successful audience...Read full review »
GigaMarketer15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/24
Was a huge fan of Jtrain for over 6 years and just not a fan of this new format. It feels like it no longer caters to my demographic, intentional or not. I liked jtrain because it was something much different than what other podcasters were putting out but this feels like an attempt at Joe Rogan...Read full review »
court592 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/26/24
I have been a fan of Jared’s and a Patreon subscriber for years. The new podcast format is losing me. I think it’s really missing the advertised mark of “razor sharp insights” - just sounds like a bunch of stoned bro comedians yelling into (poor quality) microphones about nothing. I don’t follow...Read full review »
Emilygalactica via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/24
Having two co-hosts, especially two men makes it impossible to follow unless you watch on video. Also, putting all the old segments listeners actually loved on patreon is just a slimy thing to do. I am disappointed and hope you consider making more changes.
DisappointedFanGirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/24
The new format is not for me!
Surviving Quarantine via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/24/24
I’ve been a consumer of all things Jared for years and I’m confident he’ll keep tweaking, but the new format still hasn’t locked into place for me. The episodes with Nathan and Allison are improving and it seems like the two of them are finding their roles, but the other episodes are lacking in...Read full review »
BetchSayWhat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/24
This show WAS a SOLID 5 Stars…. Literally consumed this show- every show from 2020 when I found it- BACKWARDS to the first show, then loyally every week. Any Jared content … Couldn’t get enough of Jared, and was so excited to see his career growth from TV appearances to his Netflix special and a...Read full review »
Addicted to birds game via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/24
I loved the old format, it was unique and let Jared’s (and guests’) humor come through. The new format is just a bro fest with comedians jockeying to outdo each other. There are a thousand podcasts like that and there’s a reason I don’t subscribe to any of them. I gave the new format a few...Read full review »
mxm1928 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
trying to listen to the new podcast, giving you a chance to figure your stuff out, but each episode has awful sound quality - it’s hard to listen to. Please fix and I’ll fix my rating.
Doctor of Speech via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
Understand wanting change and like the concept of the new show. However poor execution thus far. Everyone is talking over each other, the sound quality is bad, and there seems to be no structure.
GPM_738 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
The yelling, the segments, just not working, it is not the Aristocats! Miss luxury lounge and hearing more of Jared’s voice. Agreed with everyone else, the audio is wonky and your ‘guests’ are obnoxious and taking over the show. Drop these losers.
Pandozas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
Not against trying out something new. Cool premise, but poor audio and chaotic segments with guests constantly trying to get a word in edgewise making it a really tough listen.
krys_31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/22/24
It seems like Jared was bored of the “set it and forget it” nature of the original jtrain show. The thing is, it was something unique, dating advice AND comedians/comedy. That made it quite distinct from U Up which has a more predominate betches audience. There are a million talk show format...Read full review »
