I found the podcast by searching “Jerry Saltz”. I was not disappointed. The interview was really great. I really appreciated how the interviewers let Jerry speak at length. Jerry is such a special, unique person and it drives me crazy when interviewers interrupt him and step all over his words....Read full review »

Was one of my favorite sites for years and the podcast is just as good! Always something useful to learn about.

Found this podcast as I was browsing, and it was my lucky day! I’ve enjoyed every episode so far. The hosts voices have enjoyable pace, tones and pacing, and I enjoy listening to the meaning of what they are saying as it relates to their lives and the topics they are covering. Thank you!!

This podcast is full of resources to deal with technical and lifestyle problems.

How to talk to anyone. This episode was super dull. It’s the only episode I listened to, but honestly - let’s talk about the weather and, using the bathroom break to end conversation at a party. Not exactly ground breaking.

Great presenters. A variety of topics with well-chosen experts. Always a nice balance of chat and practical insights.

I really enjoy the interviews on this podcast and the “upgrade of the week concept is great & sometimes provides cool tips on small hacks to try. I also just love the intro music, it always lifts my mood so much when I hear it.

Love Lifehacker, and love the podcast too! Great hosts, great interviews, great content! Very helpful and fun!
SBKing85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/20/21
This is petty, I’m aware. But your intro music is so LOUD AND BEEEP BEEP and ANNOYING! Lol. Please find something else. It sounds so cheap. Anyway overall, your content is sweet. Just wanted to put in my 2 cents.
victactoe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/21
Topics and interviews are handled with warmth and humor that bring out the best in the hosts and guests alike. I love the tips offered at the end of episodes! They are so personal, well considered, and guileless.
Loveland Rogers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/20
I love this podcast, fun bite size ideas and interviews that I can enjoy while driving or pottering around the house. I’m a big fan of podcasts and surf many but The Upgrade is one of a staples I listen to regularly! Enjoy the hosts’ sense of humor too and have taken many many tips on board for...Read full review »

I like this podcast for the most part, but... 1. I miss Melissa. There is no chemistry with these temp hosts. 2. Some of the science-y episodes seem... pseudoscience-y. I kind of think it’s a little irresponsible to state that breathing through your nose will reduce your chance of getting Corona...Read full review »

Great segments, fun hosts, useful content.

I have a daily podcast routine, and The Upgrade has become a staple in that routine. I’m currently working my way through the archives and there’s just so. much. to. learn. If you’re looking for a new lifestyle podcast, this is it! ❤️

This podcast is my companion when I take long evening walks around Amsterdam canals during the corona pandemic. I walk with a big smile on my face and laugh frequently so it is good that I don't run into many... Each and every episode is full of great info but my favourite part is the weekly...Read full review »

Every week this podcast is such an upgrade in my life! The upgrade is smart and witty and seriously worth a listen!
MAP8581 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/20
I love the information you give in this podcast and even more I enjoy listening to the two of you. I really look forward to new episodes. Keep up the great work!

Loving this podcast. Great insights and advice from experts. My only criticism is the annoying intro music. Otherwise fantastic!
Behnke1029384756 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/20
I randomly found this podcast and I started the career change episode. I’m wanting to leave my 8 plus year career in banking and become a teacher. The episode gave me so much inspiration. I downloaded 11 other episodes that I’m so excited to listen to in the future 😊.

When you are listening to learn, the interruptions are very irritating. Stay on task guys. And hearing a person laugh at their own comments (every comment) is tough. These guys are talking to hear themselves. No opportunity to learn from this podcast.
leftcoastleaf via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/23/19
Neither of the cohosts are allowed to leave the show. All of podcasting would whither and die if the dream team got broken up.

Discovered these gems this morning during my train commute. I wasn’t even looking, but it was just what I needed. The textures and overlays are just emotionally and spiritually gorgeous Thank you. Ms. M.
DJ Mojeaux via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/02/19
Beyond the great and thoughtful topics, the conversation between the hosts and their guests is always so genuine, even when they disagree on their end-takes about a given subject. So many great perspectives go into this podcast, and they’re all valuable.
Hell and fun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/19
It feels like everybody says this but I’m not one to leave reviews, normally. However I chose to do so because I LOVE this podcast. Everything about it. I love the array of topics covered, the hosts and their relaxing voices, the way they work off each other compared to some podcasts where it’s...Read full review »

I am learning about things I didn’t even know I wanted to know about lol. The hosts crack me up and I feel that they are so relatable. Each episode I can easily take away at least one nugget of wisdom that I can use towards my everyday life. A light hearted laugh of a listen that you feel...Read full review »

I enjoy this podcast, I just wish it would try to stay away from the politics. Both hosts have an obvious political leaning, and I wish I could enjoy a form of entertainment without hearing political opinions.
Will Weinhardt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/19
This podcast makes me laugh every time, but I also learn a lot that is helpful.
Swanna101 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/19
Funny. Smart. You learn stuff. Always fun, always fresh. Stop the traffic-I even like their ads! :)
SyllableSally via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/19
This is the best podcast. Good content. Researched. Good experts. Great and practical topics that really matter versus abstract crap. Consistently good. Hosts don’t get in the way of guests. I’ve listened to podcasts for years. This is my first review. Just. That. Good. Thank you!
Coach Sean B via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/19
Great podcast! They cover interesting topics. Keep the great podcasts coming
adamstaylor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/19
This is my favorite podcast! It is easy listening and I’ve found something helpful in each episode even if I didn’t think that I would relate to a certain topic.
Talktopaige via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/27/19
This is a great podcast for anyone wanting to improve their lives. I’ve been visiting the life hacker website and reading a bunch of the articles that are just so relevant to every day life, and this podcast just seems to connect on so many levels. It’s covers a wide variety of topics that are...Read full review »

Fun, interesting, light, inspiring. Love the show- this feels like a genuine conversation with friends listener participates in rather than pre-prepared lecture. Please come back with more!
964911 via Apple Podcasts · Poland · 05/12/19
Occasionally interesting, but much like Lifehacker in general, the podcast’s advice is functionally useless if you’re not already making $50k+. Really wish they would diversify their editorial position and try speaking to a broader audience.

"How to Tell if You’re Dying" This was great. Instead of worrying about every single symptom, do something that positively impacts your health (Walking, running, any exercise).Read full review »

The Upgrade is one of the best productivity podcasts out there. The hosts, Alice and Melissa, do an incredible job at breaking down complex topics and turning it into understandable and actionable advice. It is playful, genuine and always a delight to listen to - keep it up!
simphall via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 02/16/19
Listening to Melissa and Alice during my morning commute is the best! They always make me laugh and the content is sharp, informative, and relevant.
JFS Brooklyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/19

I knew I loved Lifehacker. I didn’t know it was possible to love a podcast just as much.
BrettATL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/19
Melissa and Alice are wonderful hosts and I love all the self-help and life tips. It’s inspired me to improve on habits that I wasn’t even thinking about.

I was recently injured and needed something to take me out of my self pity and to feel that I’ve accomplished something while lying on side all day. Tried many podcasts. This one is the first that’s really helped. I’m listening to a bunch of past episodes and can’t wait for more. They’re often...Read full review »

I found this podcast through Apple’s New Year recommendations and I’m so glad I did. It’s smart, tightly edited, helpful and fascinating. Great interviews. I’ll be sorry when I’ve binged all the episodes and have to wait for them.
wkb70 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/18
This is the perfect podcast. The team comes across as intelligent yet unpretentious. They tackle interesting topics you’ve probably read a headline about somewhere recently or spent time pondering yourself.
Kendra_26 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/18
I love a good happiness-hack as much as the next person, but after just a few episodes, I can see that the hosts and guests are deepy fat-phobic and committed to white patriarchal body ideals. I suggest talking to Sonya Renee Taylor over at The Body is Not an Apology as a way to open your eyes to...Read full review »
