Plaxico! Did that get your attention?
This podcast is so good and unique. Feels like a weird true crime pod but it’s way more interesting that that. Such a gem!
Update. This podcast is a must listen!

What’s in a name?
What starts as a silly bit turns into a stunning reflection on what it means to understand yourself, and by way of that to understand death. I haven’t enjoyed a podcast this much in years

Funny, clever, honest and personal
I’m only finishing episode 4 and I’m already dreading the end of this series. This podcast is so well written and produced…humorous, intelligent, and authentic. I can’t wait to see what Podcaster/Comedian Jacob Reed does next.

Great Storytelling
A strange obsession to find people with the same name as you and learn about their lives turns out to be a great premise for amazing storytelling! The show is compelling, funny, heartbreaking and everything in between. Totally recommend!

Great show
I agree with the reviewer who said to pull up a chair if you’re a fan of Heavyweight; this has a very similar feel and elicits similar feelings for me. Even when I initially think a subject won’t interest me, I’m delighted when it always ultimately does. I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, and Jacob Reed (Mr. “Me”), your season finale made me cry. I found myself cheering you on, and though I’m no jazz connoisseur, the “flub” in your show sure sounded like jazz to me!

Smart, Funny, Thought Provoking
I didn’t know what to expect but once I started I couldn’t stop listening. There are literally laugh out loud moments along with conversations that inform and challenge you. Well done!

A rose is a rose is a rose…
…but is a Jacob Reed a Jacob Reed a Jacob Reed?
Listen to this podcast to find out, I suppose.
(p.s. it makes me chuckle to hear the ads for all the different Jacob Reedses’ businesses. Nice idea.)
A sesame is a sesame

Stumbled on this and it’s amazing
It’s been awhile since I’ve picked a podcast randomly off the Apple Podcasts homepage, and I’m so glad I picked this one. It’s the good-hearted, funny, clever energy I’ve needed right now. Kudos to Jacob Reed for an excellent idea well done that is making me laugh and teaching me, while also entertaining me.

Funny and captivating
I just finished the first two episodes and can’t wait for the third. Great story telling, and great ways to combine some humor with deeper and more thoughtful subjects.

Strangely Compelling
I am a Type A, so most days I listen to the first podcasts in every section of the browse screen on Apple Podcasts. This is how I stumbled on Jacob Reed and Me. I have to admit, the premise sounded stupid, but the story telling is so strangely compelling that I think I will continue on. In the first episode, I was actually sad when things didn’t work out even though the chase was for someone who didn’t even exist. There is an interesting moral on the economic limits of creativity, as well. Worth the listen.

So Fun and Clever
I love this podcast! Very original. The content is entertaining AND informative. As far as the ads, it took me a minute, but when I got it…genius!! Well done!

Top notch
I listened to two podcasts and was shocked that was it. Fantastic production right out of the gate. Can’t wait for more.

Light but also, not?
Whoever gave this show a one star review is wrong and should endure one serving of cold toast. This show is brilliant, beautifully done, and so deeply human. Jacob and team manage to be light and engaging while still poignant and moving. And the ads featuring other businesses owned by Jacob(s) Reed??? Oh my gosh so clever.

Excited for what’s to come!
Instantly hooked and anxiously awaiting for more!

Brilliant Ads!
First podcast I haven’t wanted to skip the ads because they are part of the world of the show. Incredible!

What a Creative Way to Discover Story
The “same name” is such a great hook to explore life and find the story - not knowing where it’s going to go - but finding it along the way. I’m on this journey with you, Jacob. Can’t wait to see where it goes.

Will the real Jacob Reed please stand up
I love the sound of Jacob’s voice as he Chronicles, his adventure in finding others with his name. I love the background music and I feel like I’m really with him on this journey.. I’m even thinking of purchasing a copy of Seabreeze2!
A Jacob Reed fan
I wish I was Jacob reed
Love the concept, the humor, the humanity, and the journey as a whole. Great show.
Not Jacob Reed
What a show!
So thoughtful and interesting. It really is being led down a rabbit hole I didn’t know I wanted to tumble down. Can’t wait for more eps

Unlike Any Other Podcast
This is one of the freshest podcasts I’ve heard in a while. It had a bit of everything, and is so impeccably produced. I can’t wait to find out about more Jacob Reeds!
