“It was fun when it started and I like AJ in other contexts; but as the host here, he's TOO ACCOMMODATING -- the guest barely got the answer, and he's over the top with praise. Also, there's really no content to it, there are MORE ADs BEFORE and AFTER the barely 10min show. It's...”Read full review »

“My new favorite podcast! I was curious about this podcast because it was hosted by AJ Jacobs. After my first listen, I know I’m going to be revisiting often. It’s as if you’re sitting around a table of smart, funny, personable friends who don’t take themselves too seriously. It has the perfect...”Read full review »

“8 minutes of puzzles, 6 minutes of ads. I’d have already unsubscribed if the puzzles were bad.”

“I’m a big fan of Greg Pliska’s work and AJ Jacob’s writing. But this is just awful.
There have been some great guests but AJ isn’t a great host and the ads are about 50% of the show - which is SUPER annoying on such a short show.
I keep hanging on but I don’t know if I can take much more....”Read full review »

“Ugh
This “production” is an excuse for commercials and begging to get listeners for the flailing and mediocre iHeart catalogue
If you would be interested in hearing 4th graders argue about films or television I’d Batman vs Superman - this is your thing. Buy a lifetime subscription because...”Read full review »

“AJ, please let your guests think for half a second before giving hints to the puzzles! I know you have to keep the episodes short, but multiple times people have known the answer or had it on the tip of their tongue, and AJ starts basically giving away the answer with hints. One of the guests...”Read full review »

“I’m puzzled as to where the Nov 24 episode is. The normally 80% advertising content has jumped to 99%. Interesting direction. Dare I say puzzling?”

“I want to like this and listen to it with my kids, but I’ve had to turn it off twice during its short lifetime because of raunchy language. Did you really need to include ‘sadomasochistic foreplay’ when picking puzzles and clues?”
