Listener Reviews

love the show! please do a audition gone wrong prompt

armchair anonymous is great

Armchair Expert is the only podcast I’ve followed faithfully from the very beginning, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed every single episode. It’s introduced me to artists I never expected to appreciate, taught me so much through its expert guests, and broadened my perspective in a way that’s made me more informed and empathetic.I often find myself aligning more with Dax’s viewpoints, but I truly value Monica’s perspective as well—she’s helped me see the world in new and important ways.Thank you for everything you do. You’re both incredible. And you too, Rob!

Like many, Dax and Monica are two of my very best friends. They are always there for me. They make me laugh. They share their lives with me. They teach me stuff and challenge how I think about myself and others. Of course, they have no idea who I am. But by sharing who they are, they make me better. Since we all need reliable friends (read: huge backlog)… more laughs (anything anonymous)… true vulnerability (Day 7, every fact check, and pretty much every episode)… learn more about everything (experts)… you found them, Dax Shepard and Monica Padman… oh, dare I forget Wobby Wob (Rob Holysz). Listen now to meet your new best friends. Last but not least, as the recent widow of a 100% disabled veteran due to PTSD (and all the related struggles)… Dax thank you so very much for boldly smashing the stigma of addiction.

Dax and Monica have a special relationship and an awesome camaraderie. They bring on a variety of guests and it doesn't seem scripted so it is so entertaining. Dax sounds so genuinely interested in the guests. Monica is an amazing sidekick to clarify and follow up with the discussion. Whoever is the guest is always an entertaining and informative listen. I don't always want to listen to the fact check but I've grown to enjoy their banter about life and their openness about their lives. it helps develop credibility for them and their guests.

I listened to most of the episodes on here and love them. Currently listening to the Jenny Garth interview and I've always liked her and now I really feel like I know her. What a lovely person kind of gentle thoughtful and very willing to open up about a lot of struggles that a lot of us deal with as well. Very relatable.

I appreciate her perspective and have admired listening to her come into her own over the years. I can’t imagine how hard she works behind the scenes doing all the other aspects of her job that none of us know about. I notice I have anticipatory sadness for when Dax, Monica and wobby wob retire. Haha The biggest thank you to all three of you (and your other employees we don’t know) for making such great content for us. It is a privilege to get to listen and my world has been expanded and improved countless times.

Thank you both for just being YOU and for working hard to not make this about politics. You always make me giggle and somehow manage to educate me at the same time. I thank God for open minded, kind, funny, kind folks like you!

I listen to your show(s) while I am working and I love the interactions and interviews. Topics are great for Armcherries! Dax and Monica are the best and I love their banter. Dax, you are awesome and good proof that your past struggles don’t define your value or intelligence as a person. And Monica is keeping it real and very relatable. Keep up the great show team!!

I rented CHIPS last night bc Michael Fassbender loved it. Its FUNNY. A little dude centric with the nudity but i laughed out loud entire time. Dax you are a comedic gem! Also enjoyed seeing Monica. Keep up the good work; your podcast is intoxicating.

Dax, when you talk about growing up with dyslexia on Armchair Expert, it really resonates with me.I’m a mom raising a teenage son with dyslexia, and watching him navigate school while working twice as hard as many of his peers actually led me to change careers. I became a literacy specialist and now run a small practice helping students who are struggling to read but are incredibly capable in so many other ways.One thing I wish more people understood is that dyslexia still doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Too many kids are going unidentified, underserved, or given the wrong interventions. When children don’t learn to read, the consequences can go far beyond school — self-esteem suffers, opportunities shrink, and many never get the chance to discover their real gifts.This might sound heavy, but I’m sure the conversation could also be fun and real. You’ve already had guests like Jennifer Aniston on the show who have talked about dyslexia, and it’s powerful when people share their journeys openly.I would love the opportunity for my son and me to join you on the podcast to talk about what dyslexia really looks like from both perspectives — a teenager living it and a parent who turned that experience into helping other kids.There are millions of families walking this road right now. A conversation like this could make a huge difference.Sara CuenJourney2Learning.com

Hi❣️ I wanted to get your attention, and tell you that you deserve all the good things that have and are happening to you. I have been a loyal listener after searching the podcast app for “Will Arnett “ ❤️ about 4 years ago. Please don’t take offense, I just find him (even before Smartless) so wicked hilarious! Something about a quick and clever comedic personality with intelligence is so compelling, and so obvious. (although Theo Von is very funny for the opposite reason 🤫)However, I feel like I know you better because you fall into that “Will” category but with an extremely high emotional intelligence that is staggering for a hetero male ( with alcoholism)❣️ And that makes you so unique with your openness and ability to see yourself, and your family, so objectively. I’m hoping you ignore all negative reviews- some people need to vent- and you’re a safe target 🎯.I’m almost 10 years sober, and have been through it! I get you, please don’t stop being you❣️All my best,Erin from Massachusetts ( western mass- so no Boston accent)😊

I think that you should add some more kid ones because I always want to listen to it with my kid but I can’t by the way I looooove the podcast

I love the show I’m only 13 and I’m trying to listen to all the episodes and just hilarious and I love Dax and Monica and woby wob

I know this isn’t the proper channel to do so, but I have a guest suggestion for an Experts on Experts guest. I don’t have any social media so this is the only route I have to potentially reaching you. You really should have James Nester, an expert on breathing, on the pod. I recently listened to a conversation he had with Rich Roll and would love to hear a conversation between him, Dax, and Monica. I also think you would be fascinated with his take what correct breathing can do for you and the potential harmful effects incorrect breathing can have…even on children. Anyway, I appreciate this podcast so much and look forward to my time with y’all each week!

Dax, Monica, and Rob have kept me company through the most mundane chores for the past 7 years and are still my favorite podcast. I highly recommend starting from the beginning!

Great podcast, my husband and I just finished the unique kinks and LOVED Rico. Bring him back for a whole episode!!

Hey “wed h beebee”There are countless podcast on news culture and a lot of them sound the same just as facts as popular podcast doesn’t mean you need to talk about stuff he’s not interested And he may be interested in it. He has kids and a family. I’m sure he worries about this as well. But we need podcast like his a really relatable man to a lot of us men out here how are struggling. Is stories help me.

Best podcast ever!!!

The best there is. Thanks for everything you do!

I’ve been listening to an episode a day to catch do not being cool for years. I must be listening to frequently because I’ve started to find the, “ding, ding, ding’s…” and references to the “sim” annoying. But I won’t stop. That’s it. Ok. Love you.

Great interview! 305 proud!

You guys are the best! Thanks for being you. Anyone who listens knows you’re amazing.

Super interesting every time. Keeps me wanting more!! I’m obsessed with true crime typically but this pod has re-wired my brains pleasure center. You both are so authentic and have such an honest and viby rapport. Monica your demeanor in juxtaposition to Dax reminds me so much of Robin/ Howard dynamic. Truly great! Also .. loved Beth’s Dead. That needs to win something.
