I like how diving into the perspective of a lifeless object can reveal truths about humanity. I’ve listened to 5 episodes; grain of sand is the best so far. Does Ira Glass know his interview style has been borrowed for this podcast?

Not every episode is amazing but when an episode hits it HITS, I’m talking about Vinny the vending machine…

Probably my favorite podcast of all time. I am sure it is time-consuming to make these, I am constantly checking for new episodes! Can’t get enough.

So good.

The most amazing thing about this amazing podcast is that the episodes are unscripted. If the various actors were working from scripts, it would be impressive enough, but that they're producing brilliant comedy while ad-libbing is really mind-blowing. There are episodes that made me laugh until my stomach hurt, like "Melisa and Joseph, Kangaroos," some that are touching, like "Sal, Sock," and one that was traumatizing, "Annie, Jack-o-Lantern," which was like Never Let Me Go compressed into 20 minutes. You never know what you're going to get, but it's always' worth finding out.

Funny, poignant, thought provoking, beautifully produced, concise. Each episode a little gem. Pathos in spades. I am just so happy this show exists.

… and now I’m just taking in the reality of my own mortality.

Though I am not an animist, this podcast helped me to better see the world through the eyes of one. These episodes are really clever in anthromorphizing many everyday objects and animals. The voices are fun, realistic and lively. The pride and complaints regarding their use are thought-provoking, and at times, inventive. This is a podcast not to miss.

I do not know if it’s just my weird sense of humor but I have never read, listened to, or watched anything funnier than this podcast. Every time I listen I cannot stop laughing. Sometimes I also cry. Either there is something wrong with me or this is the most brilliant piece of radio ever created.

I love this idea and giving personality to inanimate objects, beautifully done

I cannot count the amount of times I’ve giggled during these episodes. So random. So funny. So educational. So good!

This is my favorite podcast! It’s witty and new and I am anxiously awaiting more episodes. 🎤🎧 No seriously! It truly is my favorite and I am excited everytime a new one drops. What a fantastic and imaginative idea. Job well done.

This is an incredible, creative podcast—surreal in concept but 100% sincere in execution.

I almost stopped listening because of the cola episode, for some reason it made me extremely uncomfortable, but I listened to the next one and the next and the next, and here I am now

I love this podcast -- it's tender and weird and generous and reminds me of the importance of connecting for strengthening empathy.

So cute and cheeky and I leave every episode with a little factoid or two

I really enjoy this unique podcast, it makes you think, it makes you laugh, it makes you look at objects in a new way. Hope this one continues for a long time! So happy this is back for a season on animals!! Hooray!!

This podcast it’s a true delight. The combination of dry obscure humor, with bits of knowledge sprinkled in is an absolute triumph. I adore every single episode.

I started listening to this podcast right after they first started. It was like I’d found something I didn’t even know I wanted. No hyperbole. It offers a concept like no other podcast. Listen to any episode and you’ll see what I mean. And it’s intelligent.

…MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE GIVE ME MORE 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Truly a great show, but the number of ads is so obnoxious. I’ve unsubscribed from all radiotopia shows. I keep trying to come back but I can’t. It’s not just the number of ads but the number of interruptions and the lack of audio-identifiers for ad segments.

This podcast is a lot of fun to listen to. It will make you smile.

I finally gave this show a chance mainly because of the many positive reviews I read prior to listening, so I thought it was only right to add my own positive review to the stack. I’ve just finished the first season and I absolutely LOVE this show. I’m not always in the mood to listen to an episode, but I never regret taking the time to do so. It’s a rare blend of comedy, self-awareness, charm, and philosophical insight that you won’t find anywhere else. Not every episode is a slam-dunk, but there’s always something to remember. I find myself thinking about something I heard on this show days, or even weeks later. So far each episode has a comedic interview with an inanimate object, and at some point the interviewee will offer an interesting fact. It could be something about the natural world, astronomy, culture, or behavior. But every time (except once) it’s been an interesting fact that I didn’t know. I never would’ve thought that I’d get most of my new factoids from a show about the hidden lives behind inanimate objects. They blend these facts into the interview so seamlessly that I didn’t even realize what was happening until I was nearly done with the first season. This is a great show and I highly encourage anyone with a sense of humor and even the slightest bit of curiosity about the world to give it a chance. It’s incredibly satisfying to listen to.

I really love the interaction among the characters that are interviewed, there’s so much personality and charm in each episode and I just can’t get enough.

This podcast is so cute!! I love imagining all the objects and their lives. It has a funny streak too. Hope there will be more episodes!

What happened why aren’t you releasing new episodes more please!!!?

This show is my favorite! It is so funny and clever plus I love that it’s perfectly weird and silly! Definitely follow! It’s worth it. I squeal with delight every time a new episode is released.

I really enjoy this show. It is so clever, funny, well acted, well written, well everything. Just today it got my mind off of some work drama and that earns it a million bonus points. Go ahead and follow this one, because you’ll love it too.

This may be the best written and acted podcast available. It’s witty, self-deprecating and provocative. I can share episodes with my grandchildren or just ingest as an antidote to unpleasant news. I highly recommend the (so meta) Behind the Scenes. So silly and at the same time, nuanced.

I listen to a lot of true crime podcast, which can be dark and disturbing. So this podcast really lightens the day. Always makes me smile.

Everything Is Alive is so good. Every episode makes me either smile or cry. Sometimes both at once. They are lovely tone poems that explore the “thing’s” feelings and also ours. Thus the laughter and the tears. Well done, folks.

Look forward to every episode

This is a must listen to podcast I love it so much!!!!!🥹😀☺️😉😇😍🤣🤩you should interview a shower head or a recliner can you do another one with Maeve Higgins or Alzo Slade again best podcast ever. so interesting it’s logical it’s funny it’s meaningful it’s happy it’s amazing

The best podcast out there- so happy it is back!

I would like to be in everything is alive

Sorry I had to request that after listening to Dina, Pacifier. This podcast is great! Smart, profound, lighthearted, and funny.

Brilliant. This show, among a select few other humorous true crime podcasts, split my sides. Downright clever and, as noted in comment title, hilarious.

Can I be in it plz

Absolutely loved Ginny ! You should have asked her how she feels when an adult puts a baby or an animal on her to ride. Also, you should have asked her if she ever had the misfortune of literally coming across poop. That would have probably been traumatic.

This was the best episode ever! I can’t count how many times I laughed out loud.

Thoughtful, creative, and always something I look forward to listening to!

I love everything about this podcast. The amount of people I’ve recommended this podcast to is a lot. Waiting to listen to the latest episode on my walk to campus :))))

I’m so happy you’re back!!!!! This show is a bright spot in my life. Hilarious, though provoking and escapist in the best way. Yay!!

So happy I discovered this magical podcast ❤️

I am an all day, every day podcast listener. Everything is alive is the best to wind down and relax to. It brings me so much joy. The ability to give personality, wit and heart to inanimate objects is amazing. I love this podcast and am so excited for new episodes!

I love this show!

YEEEEEs!!!

I needed this podcast.

This podcast is funny, sweet, and utterly charming.

Everything is AliveIs informative, funny, and best of all, cracks open my brain to perceive the world in fresh ways. Without being pedantic, it is psychologically deep. As a writer,I appreciate the linguistic leaps.My favorite podcast!
