I love this show. It’s like falling in love for the first time, which I only know because I remember falling in love for the first time and this reminds of what it felt like. It makes me want to write M + I in a tree trunk with a heart around it and remember being in LA and all my hopes and...Read full review »

If you want a This American Life style podcast made by literary folks, this is it.

sometimes challenging but always worth it

Sure saying it’s the best is weird and diminutive but while I’m no professional podcast consumer even considering I have no ability to love even a moment in silence meaning I’ve been listening to NPR then Podcasts non stop since the age of 6, the Organist scratches that itches better than the...Read full review »

Best podcast around. But it doesn’t seem right to call it that. It’s not nearly as formulaic, condescending, and boring as the typical podcast.

excellent episode!

This is a gem in the ruff. The show is true audio art — a real rarity in podcast landscape that is cluttered with over-produced, ad-filled, true crime trash.

a podcast that manages to transcend practical explanations and simply become to me, these words instead

each thursday night, i go down to my basement, which has a dirt floor. i dig dirt from the hole i started digging months ago. the hole is finally big enough for me crouch within and comfortably rest my chin on the dirt floor. safe and comfortable in the dark and quiet basement, i am alone. next...Read full review »

This is the best arts-leaning (somewhat arbitrary descriptor) podcast out there. The sensibilities behind the eclectic programming are impeccable. Highly recommended.

Truly amazing contents, so well done.
Ceci Díaz via Apple Podcasts · Mexico · 09/02/18
this is almost certainly one of the best podcasts in the entire world.

Two Years with Franz is one of the best pieces of nonfiction audio I have ever listened to. It is perfectly constructed and edited. There is even an autobiographical documentary element to the story, which I am normally averse to, but the producer Bianca Giaever weaves it in a way that is still...Read full review »

Orson Wells whispered into my ear: "You will never be a writer. You will never write anything. Never!" And I just was stunned, and I looked at him, and I said, I said, "You don't know me! You don't know who I really am, you don't know if I will or will not write." ...Read full review »

Because life is short, too short, I recommend listening to this podcast.

It takes me a lot to thoroughly invest myself in a podcast, but this one makes it so easy. Fun and enlightening!

Weird pleasure. What more could you ask for???

The Organist is a great pairing between the iconoclastic Indies ... KCRW and McSweeneys. I love it!! (and the music is great too!)
DJ Dumdub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/18
So stoked for the new season!

When it focuses on sound and the processes of memory, this is the greatest. But sometimes it's the epitome of hipster navel gazing. But I guess that's par for the course.Read full review »

New Years Resolution: finally leave reviews for at least your top 50 podcasts. They give you way too much free entertainment. The least you can do is leave them a quick review.

Look, I understand that you need to play ads but suddenly and randomly cutting content to play an ad assumes that users need to be tricked into listening to ads. You spoil the content and you spoil the advertiser’s brand by associating it with being annoying. I had subscribed to The Organist...Read full review »

I first heard of The Organist while listening to 99 percent invisible. Within the first minute of 700 foot mountain, I froze because the hair on back of my neck stood up even though I was drenched with sweat from running from previous episodes of 99. Clive tells a compelling tale in this...Read full review »

I know exactly which organ they are talking about and mark my word it is a fine one!
mattfargo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/17
It feels very private, as if I’m doing something that society has always deemed wrong but which is quite satisfying. I’ve been staring in one spot for a long time without focusing on anything, but then I slowly realize that there is a person in that spot. The person is looking at me and thinks...Read full review »

High production value, simply a fantastically well-produced podcast! So far I’ve enjoyed this podcast immensely, discovered it through their coverage of Ákos Rózmann.

A man claiming to be from The Organist came to the parking lot gate out back. He said he needed access to the building’s electricity meter. We looked at one another through the bars. “This seems unusual,” I said. I was out there with my son to get him some fresh air. The boy was a few feet away...Read full review »

The organist at my parents’ church had severe arthritis, and as a child my job was to flip pages for her. Her hands were so stiff that I also had to pull the stops: clarion, chimney flute, vox humana. Occasionally, when her ankles were bad, I also sat under the bench and pressed the keys of the...Read full review »

I met the organist podcast at a house party a few years back. We were both listening to this guy explain how he was conceived in an MMF threeway and how sometimes he becomes so acutely aware of having a skeleton inside him, that he seizes up, unable to communicate. Eventually, that exact thing...Read full review »

You don’t remember your mother. Not really. The memories you have are more like impressions: gentle, gravelly pauses, sotto voce speech with secrets only for you, and a story you didn’t want to stop listening to. And sound effects, oh the sound effects. She could reproduce anything: keyboard...Read full review »

Quirky, and always interesting--slightly off, and well-suited in times of conformity.
martymass976 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/17
The organist is the well dressed bespectacled girl you meet at a party who lives in a quasi dream state and sells zines on campus but nonetheless has interesting insights and explores corners of arts and culture you would never have the time / wherewithal to pursue. 5/5

Professor Mutfried, tenured Professor at the Goams, died six years ago today. Every year, to mourn his death, I listen to the radio. Professor Mutfried loved the radio. At the start of each intermediate course on Boethius, he played ten minutes of NPR for us. I remember one day in particular,...Read full review »

What a delicious discovery! Right up there with the very best podcasts. And with a distinct personality and atmosphere. Thank you!!

Truth be told, I’ve never heard of the Organist, and don’t know even what a podcast is. I barely live in the 21st Century. My idea of advanced technology is a toilet seat whose trajectory from up to down takes so long to complete, I can pluck my unibrow while waiting for it to happen. Who...Read full review »

Ok, Andrew Leland, you got me in your plea at the end of the "The Show about The Show about the Show" that if faithful listeners don't rate or review their favorite podcasts, that they die. And I REALLY don't want the Organist to die! The Organist is quirky, thoughtful, and a...Read full review »
