Listener Reviews

I have become a huge fan of podcasts but I have definitely not loved all of them that I have tried. This is a total exception!!! I absolutely love this podcast! Dax and Monica are entertaining, insightful, honest and real. It’s a podcast that digs deep into our favorite celebrities and experts but it also can help you realize things about yourself that you maybe didn’t realize. It’s seriously funny and informative, as well! I’m a fan for life!

This is by far my favorite podcast!!! Thank you for the work you and your team do!!!!

Of all of the podcasts I’ve phased in and out of listening to, this one has remained a constant. I think it’s so important to be insightful about where yourself and others come from and how that impacts your walk through life. Dax and Monica do a great job of relaying their and their guest’s humanity and I just love love love this show. I’ve learned so much.

I have found myself with some of your guests and you. You are a fantastic interviewer! Tyler Perry’s interview was so vulnerable and honest. We need to Dax to be in this space.

I’m listening to Tyler Perry right now and I am loving it! I’m excited to watch some of these movies you’re talking about. Regarding the word “GAL”. I am a pasty white woman in her 50s and I totally understand what Tyler is saying about how the slang, “Gal” is offensive, especially in the context he explained. I have never liked being called Gal because I’m not a girl, a woman, and when a man calls me Gal, I feel like he’s trying to infantilize me as a woman. (It feels the same as if he were to pat me on the head and say, calm down little lady.) I’m not even a hard-core feminist, but that word has always felt disrespectful. Dax, I’m sure you meant nothing by it and I loved how Tyler was so kind to help you learn something new. We don’t know what we don’t know. Keep up the good work! I love that I finally found this podcast.

Thank you for rereleasing the Monica Lewinsky interview as I did not hear it the first time. Such an interesting and insightful conversation. Online bullying affects so many, in which we need more people speaking out and trying to make positive improvements.

I’ve been a long time listener. I love Dax and Monica. What a dynamic duo they are. The rerelease of Dax’s episode with his mom was so incredibly inspiring and touching. Keep up the great work!

I found this podcast through Flightless Bird, which Monica also co-hosts. Y’all stop hating on her in the reviews- she’s delightful. She’s also the voice twin of Lucy from Wine and Crime podcast (another of my favorites). Really enjoyed the musical Christmas episode!

Dax AND Monica are great (why so much hate on Monica? I think she’s hilarious). This podcast gets me through boredom, my commute to work, and even bad moods! I started listening from the 2024 backwards and after going through the whole catalog, I can say the show is only getting better. To Dax and Monica (and Wobby): please ignore the haters. Folks can have their opinions. What you do matters and makes a difference.

What a delightful and joyful episode. I really enjoyed and needed this. Thank you all and happy holidays to each of you.

I love this podcast. I really do. But Monica… oh boy. It’s so enjoyable when she’s silent. She’s arrogant, ostentatious, fake, self-absorbed, and completely out of touch with reality. And the fake laugh! Dear God, please make it stop! Here’s a news flash, Monica- WE ARE NOT LISTENING FOR YOU. We are here for Dax, the experts, the celebs, Woby Wob, the anonymous… literally everyone but you. Just stop, babes. Let the grown-ups talk.

It’s my first listen, and the stark contrast between the deep, insightful, inspiring conversation with Fei Fei Li to apparently saving back hair and leg hair for future mittens was unexpected. Well, let’s see what other mildly disturbing info comes up!I’m along for the ride, I love learning things AND feeling comparatively normal!

I took a long pause with podcasts as I was chomping my way through many audiobooks. Thank gosh episodes are saved. Listen to laugh, listen to learn. One of the most refreshing podcasts I have recently come across….

I am so grateful to Dax Shepard for this show. I am grateful to him for opening up, for being honest, for sharing with all of us and exploring with his guests. And to his fabulous partner, editor, and often co-host. You have discussed together and with guests, particularly the recent (Nov 2024) interview with Anna Kendrick, relevant and important topics. Thank you to her as well. I felt a part of a conversation with friends, my turn to listen and absorb.

Monica is too fragile when it comes to politics. I’m done. Really enjoyed the show and Dax you’re awesome. Let’s go riding bikes sometime.Matt

This is my comfort show. I wish armchair anonymous was twice a week !

Regarding Thanksgiving 2, Episode 820Hi Cameron, you should request an endoscopy for this choking issue. I have the same symptoms and have had my endoscopy canceled for the 2nd time by my insurance. The GI doctor said the barium swallow test won’t show all the issues that could be causing it. My grandpa and his sister had this and I’m told that during an endoscopy they can stretch the throat and fix the problem.If you get it done, I’d love to hear if they found what’s causing it. Hopefully insurance will get their act together and I can get it done too.

It sounds like eosinophilic esophagitis, diagnosed by a scope with biopsies (esophogram can be normal with this)

I feel for you so much! I suffered from this for so many years! It’s called a Schatzki's ring and is a ring of tissue that forms inside the esophagus, the tube that carries food and liquid to your stomach. I definitely recommend he sees a doctor! There’s a simple procedure with a balloon that fixes the whole thing! My life is so much better having done this!🙏

Such a fun show. Dax, your questions are “spot on” and I so appreciate your humility. Monica, please stop saying “ oh my God”…..rather offensive.

LOVED listening to your moms interview and would really enjoy getting to know more of your family. Or maybe they aren’t game :) that’s all❤️

You guys!!! This was an amazing interview! Thank you so much for this.

If you can’t love something - set it free..how I feel about focusing on what make me grow, feel good or flourish. I dumped all social media (A.E. Is as close as it gets! Thank you both!). I relate to Dax in many ways except for the penis part. Monica is an incredible young woman with boundless courage and an almost measurable growth talent & maturity that resilience didn’t leave her behind, (It took me 42 years to recognize the difference between emotional maturity vs. age on my license..) Another 14 years later and the brilliant learning opportunities this show gives on the reg might elevate me to absolutely flipping brilliant! Thank you for being my “people” that I can expand my human-ness

I stopped being a political junkie on 11/5/24. So I turned to you guys for the 1st time for the fun you bring. With every episode I love you, Monica, Rob, Kristen, & all of your guests more & more until my heart is filled with joy now. (Thank you for not talking about politics much.) Your show is not only joyous, but I learn so, so much, & you make me think in new ways each time. At first, when I heard you weren’t going to act anymore, I was so sad, because you are so good & interesting to watch. But now I totally get it - you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing, & it’s extraordinary. So, thank you. I freaking adore you guys!
