“I didn’t really need another interview podcast, but I heard an ad for Weird Work and decided to try it. Sam gets such a wide variety of weirdos to talk to! Particularly liked learning about the hand model, ASMR YouTuber, and Elvis impersonator. Keep up the weird work!”

“The concept is cool with a variety of odd jobs I’ve never even consider or thought about prior to listening to the podcast. However I think two jobs could be discussed per episode since focusing on just one otter seems long and I lose interest since it sort of drags on after awhile.”

“Weird Work is a terrific podcast in theory - a program that highlights the weird nature of people’s bizarre odd-jobs that we never consider as “work” in day to day life. That gets stinted by Sam Balter.
Balter’s hyper-casual interview style borders on awkward at times - he drops heavy cussing...”Read full review »

• It’s not...”Read full review »
