“i’m a big fan of WWDTM but they’ve started automatically downloafing a second, unrelated, podcast to my phone, so i can’t recommend it now. if i wanted to hear random people gab about nothing i would subscribe to literally any other podcast. who thought this was a good move?
edit: now they’ve...”Read full review »

“Wait Wait is one of my favorite shows. But I stopped subscribing when NPR stuffed Everyone and their Mom in the same feed. It was pretty clear from other reviews that listeners didn’t want this. I didn’t want it. A different show belongs in its own feed—not here. When NPR finally dropped it, I...”Read full review »

“This is a great show with funny panelists and smart guests. I miss the days of Paula Poundstone, Alonzo Boden, and Roy Blount Jr. being on regularly, but it’s still fun and informative. Thank you for the weekly entertainment!”

“Boy this show has gone downhill. Panelists talking over each other with fart jokes, vomit jokes and poop jokes which wouldn’t be so bad if the jokes were funny. They’re not. Tom Papa Alonzo and Paula were great but are rarely on anymore. I would say “ keep the Faith” but she isn’t funny either....”Read full review »

“and resources although Emma Choi was pretty charming and funny. Why did her voice sound better on the tape from the convention center then when she appears on the show.”

“For a topical news quiz show there seem to be a lot of “best of” compilations. What, are you guys on the John Oliver schedule? WWDTM used to be habitual listening, but you have cured me of that habit going forward.”

“One sided woke DEI wasteland. The undertones of hate mixed with virtue signaling garbage is sad. It’s not a space for everyone anymore. I stopped donating around 2014 and checked in to see if it’s gotten better. Last week show confirmed it was a wise decision. Sad what they’ve become.”

Most of the guests really have nothing to add other than their generic drab and marketing. If they got rid of the celeb guest and...”Read full review »

“Wonderfully entertaining! I love this show! Unfortunately, the commercials are off-putting. CAVEAT EMPTOR: I tried the free trial with the expectation that the commercials would stop, but they did not. (Wondry nixes all commercials with a subscription).
Despite the off-putting commercials, I...”Read full review »

“Regarding this week’s episode from Philadelphia: I couldn’t make it past the first ten minutes. It’s not so cute when two out of three panelists are both stupid AND ignorant. Do you really think guests like this are going to draw more listeners to NPR? I think not.”

It’s noticeable that no matter the other two guest panelists, who contribute almost all the content, she merely chuckles, then...”Read full review »

““Wait, wait” pretends to be “fair and balanced” and make equal fun of both Right and Left. They never make fun of men wearing womanface or mansplaining women. They invited they/them Judith Butler on the show but are too misogynistic to invite an apologetically female PhD in Mathematics Helen Joyce.”

“It hasn’t been a secret with this show for a while that conservative thoughts are mocked at NPR. But it was tolerated for the sake of Peter’s wit and Maeve Higgins’ charm, not to mention the interesting stories. After the hire of their new CEO and everything surrounding Uri Berliner's exposé,...”Read full review »

“Definitely one of my favorite game shows of all time! I have to verify some of the stories, because they sound almost too ridiculous to be true, but they are almost always depressingly real. The host and guests do a fantastic job of making the weekly news a little bit less scary, and a lot funnier!”
