Reviews

I like their interviews and their sweet friends. I think they talk out of pocket about a good amount of topics which is sometimes a bit annoying. But overall love the guests. The fact check has become a bit meandering for me but I like the interviews.

The podcast is edited choppy, no natural pauses and doesn’t feel like I’m listening to a normal conversation. Sometimes a pause is powerful. If this was fixed, I’d start listening again.

I listened to this podcast for years and was so disappointed when they moved to only being available on Spotify - and I stopped listening when they moved. When I heard their ad on We’re Here to Help that noted they were once again available on all platforms, I was so happy — and now I have years of back catalogue to catch up on! lol. I’m training for my first marathon and the long episodes are great for that! It feels like coming home to friends I haven’t seen in a while.

Please Monica! Please stop with your little useless comments! They ruin the flow and are so irritating!

Love the show! I feel like Dax would’ve had more excitement if you had said that another Edwards played Goose in TopGun.

It’s a good podcast. Armchair Anonymous episodes are my favourite.

Love listening to the fact checks just to hear more stories on Dax’s fatherhood adventures. Even the simplest things are so fun to listen to and honestly I aspire as a father of 4 young boys to shape our lives similar to what you create in your home Dax. I know it’s not perfect (nor should it be) but I love how you guys just live life and it really does inspire me to do the same with my family. Thanks for sharing, I know there’s likely a price you pay with sharing that information.

Imagine reading all of this on multiple platforms while being so exhausted by your cohost that you have to build an entire new house/life on the other side of the country to (hopefully) get away from her. Good job, Dax.

Love you guys! My daughter actually turned me on to this podcast and it’s quickly become one of my all-time favs!

I love your show! Please try to get, Eminem!

This is for sure my favorite podcast. I love Dax and his knowledge and information. Monica adds to it however I don’t love that her politics comes up and she approaches it very closed minded. Dax approaches politics from an open mind even if people don’t align with his opinion, he is curious and not condescending and I think we need more conversations like what he provides. I do like Monica and the banter and conversations they have for the most part.

Day 1 Armcherry, here. 🍒Currently listening to the fact check of Ramy Youssef’s Return ep on Wondery, and “we must, we must, we must increase our bust,” is from Are You There, God, It’s Me, Margaret,” not Grease, though it’s no insult to either to conflate such fabulous teen fodder. ❤️Thanks for all the delicious Armchair umbrella content: you make our days better!

I need my fix every Monday, Wednesday and Friday!! Armchair anonymous is my fav if I’m honest. So many funny stories. Oh and the fact check for the banter. Love you two!!

Let’s not get into MJ yall! Or better yet- do an episode on it. Major assumption made about MJ in the fact check. Nothing was proven yall!

I enjoy the show very much and enjoy hearing from the guests more than I do 20 minutes of banter before and/or after the episode. The edits are messy and choppy and it makes me wonder what was cut. Especially in episodes with so much information from amazing people- to degrade them to an interview for time as you would a celebrity makes my brain sad, as does Monica’s contributions. I'm sorry. But thank you for the content.

When I hear Monica’s voice on Armchair Expert, I feel something simple and rare: comfort. It’s the feeling of a familiar friend who’s warm, intelligent, and unafraid to be real. Dax, in all his gloriously robust, intuitively sharp interviewing style, brings such dynamic energy—and Monica doesn’t just sit beside him passively. She grounds the conversation. She holds space with presence, curiosity, and playfulness. She brings her whole self, and it matters. I especially loved the episode with the author of Addicted to Revenge (Dr. Jack Kornfield). Both Monica and Dax were so open to seeing things differently—to questioning reactive, victim-centered thinking, and gently exploring the roots of violence. Monica gave that conversation time to breathe. Her steady presence wasn’t a counterweight to Dax’s brilliance—it was a beautiful complement to it. We need both. I love how Monica shares her own process with honesty and humor. I’ve noticed her evolution over the years, especially with her new Buddhist interest and practice, and it’s deeply inspiring. The age difference between her and Dax also offers something I hadn’t expected: a glimpse into different stages of growth—both inner and outer—and how wisdom unfolds over time. Most days, my kitchen is full of the usual good things—pots simmering, the rhythm of chopping, a breeze coming through the window, and sometimes, Armchair Expert playing in the background. Dax and Monica feel like part of the room—not in a starstruck way, just in the easy way certain voices become familiar over time. They talk while I stir, they laugh while I set the table, and by the time dinner is ready and family and friends fill the space, I often think to myself, I really enjoyed their company today. Monica, what I want to say is this: I’m so glad you’ve let us walk beside you as you grow and reflect. You bring something thoughtful and honest to the show that’s quietly powerful. Thank you for letting us know you—not as a persona, but as a real person.

Listening to the simulation episode and Dax your rich is showing.

Great show. Can James Gunn sue tRump for impersonating Superman??? Seriously. I have some great stories I hope to be on. XOX

Monica is very close minded. Would love to see an open minded co-host.

With out youuuuuu. Love this podcast and the banter between Dax and Monica. Y’all are great and the guests you have on are so fascinating and span such a wide variety of topics. I would love to hear from another linguist!! 😬🙂 Thanks for all you do.

Been listening to Armchair since the beginning. I love the style of the interview. Hands down the best interviewer I’ve listened to.

Insightful, great officiating.., that tattoo on the arm/shoulder.., though!, why a cherry tree?.., looks like a rash¿., not hating, just saying.., podcast rocks tho

Y’all, it’s not that deep. It’s a podcast. Don’t listen if you don’t like it? For everyone leaving hateful or unnecessarily critical reviews, please get a life or therapy. Or both. For Dax & Monnie (& Wobby Wob), you’re doing great. Thanks for continuing to put out content that’s enjoyable, vulnerable, funny, controversial, helpful and distracts us from all the madness happening around us. 🍒

I LOVE THIS PODCAST. PLEASE DO RYAN. 🧞‍♀️
