Listener Reviews

Enjoyed the favorite American TV episodes episode of Flightless Bird but TV show clips, especially ones without dialogue or much dialogue just doesn’t work for a podcast.

Could not believe the levels of vulnerability in this program! So very rare

Great show. It’s over edited. You cut too much dead air,, that conservatives sound unnatural. It’s distracting and takes away from conversations. Real, natural, authentic cadence is better. It’s too fast or something. People can listen at 1.25x but .75x just doesn’t work. Keep 1x authentic please.

Great show, love David’s take on the US. Monica and Rob are great for further discussion of his topics. Could care less about Synched Stopped listening to Armchair Experts as often, agree with others, find Monica grating and self centered.

Love Flightless bird but I have to say the Top TV Shows did not translate well to the podcast. Many of the clips were mostly just music so really needed the video.

Love you guys and everything you put out!! ❤️❤️❤️ Been a genuine fan since day 1. I listen to all the pods every week and love the entertainment and education to get me through each day. Keep doing what you do! You’re simply the best! Love to you all! ❤️❤️*As a note to those in the comments that have harsh criticisms - there are SO many other pods out there. If this isn’t for you, move on. There’s surely something else out there that will make you happy. Find what makes you happy. ✌️

🤟David rocks!

It was even better without Monica

What works about the armchair umbrella is that everyone is so different, with all their flaws and shininess. If you don’t like it don’t listen, but it’s so bizarre to make personal attacks about people you don’t know. If you love Dax, love who Dax loves.

There have been so many wonderful guests who have offered sincere and intimate interviews, offering their perspective and life experience. Dax goes beyond chit chat and has real conversations... the type of conversations I seek with my closest friends.UPDATE— with the new shows on the AE platform, there’s something for everyone. Maybe one isn’t your cup of tea, but there’s so much variety that it’s my go-to podcast.

This is my absolute favorite show! I can’t get enough of Dax, Monica, David, and Wobby Wob! I love adding Liz to my list of favorite peeps too!

I had to counteract another reviewer that said it’s pointless or whatever. I love Flightless Bird. That is all.

Just wanted Monica to know that I was the same as a kid as not relating to cartoon characters love. I also never cared about Disney princesses or was attracted to cartoon characters! 😁 love you guys!!

PLEASSSEEEEE get rid of flightless bird, it is SO POINTLESS 😩😩 replace it with more armchair anonymous !! Love the other shows!!

I always love the guests especially the therapist based ones. The interview questions are always intentional. Dax is so honest and it’s refreshing ! Monica is a nice balance

You were able to articulate a lot about the negative coming at people who have gotten help with GLP drugs. For me, it has been life changing. And when my brother-in-law was prescribed something- he wanted to know if it was cheating?? I think there should be dietary programs to help support people who need this support. But no one questions heart medications or insulin but this medication has triggered a lot of negativity. So again - thank you for being articulate and addressing this topic so fairly.

While they are part of the Sim ;-). It is the best show, so many options, so many episodes per week. Thank you for all you do. It takes work, less work than pounding a nail all day, but work non the less.

I just discovered this podcast and I LOVE it! I’m a dog walker and this podcast really helps me get through my work days. Love Monica, Dax, and Rob! You guys are awesome!

Loved it

I particularly love Experts on Expert where Dax interviews non-celebrities. They are so interesting! Very reminiscent of Howard Stern’s interviewing technique. I no longer stick around for the fact check since most of it doesn’t have anything to do with the interview. The last fact check was over 40 minutes long with only about 5 minutes related to the interview. I would really prefer that they split up the podcasts into separate subscriptions since I don’t listen to any of the Synced episodes and very few of the Flightless Bird episodes.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do an episode about Ketamine for mental health. It has changed my life and I’d love to hear you talk about it with an expert.

🍒Been an Armcherry since the beginning. It’s hard to keep up while wfh, but it’s always my favorite way to start the week!!! Thank you Dax and Monica for introducing so many new things through your huge variety of guests. Such a fun show that both my husband and I enjoy together!!! 🍒

Hey- re the Sanjay Gupta podcast fact check, I always pictured Monica as Mindy Kaling and it blew my mind when I saw her picture eventually. Monica is perfect as she is and so beautiful but I still secretly imagine her as Mindy sometimes. I can’t help it!!

Dax Shepard is a great interviewer. He does his research to ask smart questions and also gets people to open up more than even they were obviously expecting. It’s often nice to hear from Monica Padman as well; however, she is frequently just mind-bogglingly out of touch with those of us not in the top five or ten percent. Love the Thursday shows and sometimes the Monday shows (except for the “fact checks” in which they just broadcast themselves chatting about their personal lives and mutual friends for often around 40 minutes). Wish they’d please just take the other stuff out of the feed. Also, they get an F on integrity for running (and reading!) McDonald’s ads after publicly and repeatedly articulating how fast food is engineered to be addictive and is a threat to public health.
