Chris is a great warm host who is also smart and interesting! Love his interview style. Thrilled to go through the back catalogue.

I listen quite often to your podcasts, but this week listening to your chat with KC Davis I was struck once again that the mess I live in has taken over everything: my brain, my time, my relationships. KC mentioned ADHD as blocking the dopamine rush of a job well done, and I’ve never thought of it that way. I’m a firm believer that I was just part of the lazy people. I looked up her book, and found I’ve already bought it. Maybe now I’m ready to listen. And maybe soon I’ll be ready to believe it. Thanks for providing the variety of in-sites you do, I’ll keep listening for more.

This podcast is at the top of my list every week. It’s informative and fun listening. I love the host. He’s a combination of relaxed and energetic. 👍👍

I have forwarded this podcast to so many of my friends. Your episodes are FANTASTIC, informative, and even life-changing! Anyone who starts listening will want to binge the entire podcast.

As a middle schooler, it is just about the fact you cant say kill on tiktok, and you won’t get in trouble for saying it

Such good guest interviews, and always very informative and thought provoking!

I guess from your conversation I really never knew how to correctly apologize. I feel this will indeed help me in all aspects of my life. I definitely will have more empathy for others because they too may be having the same struggles with apologizing as I do. May my relationships recover from this new knowledge and that I maybe a better human with practice and much self compassion. Thank you for your work you all are doing. 😍😍🫶🏽

I love the content of this show. I binged the first 13 episodes this weekend. There are a few people complaining about the ads, but you can fast forward or skip those. So I don’t see that as a problem. I enjoy the content. Chris, you are a great interviewer and I love the guests on this show so far. I’m going to continue listening.

I’ve been listening for a couple of years. I’ve enjoyed the show but I’ve especially loved the slight change in format and topics over the past several months. Thank you Chris for these wonderful interviews and your compassion.

1st episode and the podcast will be removed from my rotation asap if all episodes have as many ads. And don’t need the intro on what will be discussed…just get to it already

I think communication is the best way for us to get to know each other that’s how you find about each other..

So. Many. Ads. Completely takes you out of the episode so frequently. Won’t be listening again as I don’t like being pushed to subscribe just to enjoy more than 5 minutes of an episode without hearing yet another commercial.

If you like adds, then this is the show for you.

Good content, but I can’t stand just how many commercials I had to listen to. So I will not be listening again.

Wanted to listen to the Krista Tippett episode but I’m immediately turned off by the amount of ads - what even is the principle of your podcast?

I really wanted to like this show, and be a better person, but there was so many commercials that I never really got to listen to the content of the shows. It’s too distracting to have to go through all those commercials just to hear the content that ends up being much less than what you thought it would be. I gave up and I’m onto a different podcast.

Idk how it is but with the reviews it’s good

Interesting topics, but an absurd amount of commercials.

Very informational in terms of self-improvement and reflection.

Love the podcast

As an avid podcast listener for many years, I am constantly consuming new episodes of various genres, but this show really captivates my imagination With its unique topics, intelligently explored. Honestly, Chris Duffy is brilliant! I am constantly delighted by his insightful remarks and deep resonance with the topics. Thank you, Chris, and to everyone else involved in the production of this very thought-provoking show 🤩

DO NOT TELL ME HOW TO BE A BETTER PERSON

I really enjoyed this podcast. It’s thought-provoking and informative and just nice to listen to!

I have been listening for the better part of the day and the professionalism and fine craft involved with this podcast is incredible, Just give it a try and you will agree. I Love It

This episode was so eye opening. I’ve been feeling all the things. Thank you so much.

Love your program, but I guess your show would be even more popular if you had a different piece of music to begin with.

This is a fantastic podcast. Anyone who wants to learn both content from so many various experts and also the skill of having in-depth conversations should listen to every episode. Chris’ self-deprecatory humor, willingness to share his own vulnerability, and genuine curiosity about the guest and their expertise all come together to make the episodes deeply engaging and fun.

I love the energy and the clarity and intellectual depth of this show. It doesn’t try to be preachy. It gives us valuable insights and ways to apply the new lessons in our lives. I love the lightheartedness of the host as well as his articulate energy. There is levity as much as profoundness. It is scholarly but made simple enough to internalize it. 👍👍

Really, this podcast has great info for getting better at humaning, and the host’s sense of humor puts it over the top. Highly recommend.

Great first episode for me to listen to. I will be sure to subscribe and add it to my list of regular listens. Thanks for putting out awesome content.

Very helpful in building habits

I find the topics concise, enjoyable, and informative.

Like. Right? You know. Whatever. So. Ya know. Like. Right? So, ya know, I love this show but finding it increasingly challenging to, ya know, right?, listen to, ya know? (the guests are far worse than the host at non sense non speak)

This is probably my favorite podcast. The conversations are meaningful and the host is a good interviewer and listener.

I love this podcast! It’s short but very informative. He gets straight to the point and adds some of his life experiences to every show.

I recently came across this podcast and proceeded to listen to every single episode! Each guests background is so diverse and the host has such an incredible talent of making each experience digestible to a large audience. I have been able to relate something in my day to the episode that I listened to that morning and I can honestly say that I believe I am becoming a better human since listening to this podcast!

This episode isn’t even worth listening to because the study is from a cohort of (likely) all white and all men from Harvard. Seriously how hard could it be to make these privileged guys lives happier?

"How to solve your problems using drawing" with Liana Finck is a great episode! This was so relatable and Finck is so approachable and humble. This conversation helped me so much with my feelings of worthlessness/ unworthiness as an artist, and accepting that my creative output goes through "seasons"— AND THAT'S OKAY AND NORMAL!!! Love y'all♥️♥️♥️

I can’t recall how I came across this podcast but it’s become one of my favorites. I enjoy the cheerful attitude of the host and the easygoing way his conversations flow with his guests. I always come with a new outlook and a new lesson learned after listening.

I really like the podcast but I thought a self-improvement podcast would know about BetterHelp's terrible track record. They share patient information with 3rd parties, and they have unqualified "therapists" just to name a few. BetterHelp is a tech company first. I implore this pod to have some better ethics about who they accept as sponsors.

Love listening to this podcast. Personally I think The Jungle by Upton Sinclair written in the early 1900’s during the Industrial Revolution boom. It was controversial at the time and he received death threats and was ostracized by many for writing it. It’s fictional however largely based on what was going on at the time. When I read it I was surprised to learn that becoming an immigrant only required jumping into a pickup truck and agreeing to vote for them in the upcoming election 😊…how things have changed.

I love this podcast because it helps me think in different ways, challenges me, but it’s also fun to listen to. Been listening for over a year and will continue to do so!

Don’t really listen to podcasts I heard the story about the guy named Peter, who thinks all birds are made robots that listen to us. Do they already listen to us through our phones and TVs there’s no running away from us get on with your life unless you got something to hide, I don’t.! Lol anyway them spying keeps us safe

Love listening to you Chris love every single episode. What a great podcast.

Very surprised when Elise Hu talked about the culture of South Korea. She just experienced one side of it and told it like that’s all about it!

Great guests, and Chris Duffy is such a great host! I listen to every episode.

I love this podcast. I always learn something new and/or think about something differently. Chris is a thoughtful, engaging host. Strong recc!

I'm a nurse, and the episode about grief hit home! Thank you for verbalizing SO many of my thoughts. I appreciate you & all you do!

I come for the guests and their perspective. Chris Duffy is impossibly pompous and arrogant during the interviews. Any growth moments he shares about himself are clearly scripted.He has the world figured out already and has to read words someone else has written to convey moments of personal growth. It’s a shame since many of the guests are inviting genuine and authentic dialogue and curiosity. Chris isn’t up to the task.

(Maybe) somewhat abnormally, but not to me, I will search apple podcasts to see if Michael Schur has been on any recent podcasts as a guest talking about his book “How to be Perfect”, his sports and random topics podcast called The PosCast with Joe Posnanski, his new working relationship with Meadowlark Media, the Dan Lebatard & Friends Network (although he’s soon (he hopes) to get fired from those shows) or lastly but most famously for his writing on The Office, The Good Place, Brooklyn 99, Saturday Night Live etc. I listen to Michael Schur because he makes SENSE! He’s logical, kind, considerate, humble, appreciative. He is HILARIOUS! He makes me laugh and he makes my heart happy. He adores his wife, kids, dogs. He wants us all to be better in any small way that we can and our combined efforts will make lives better, and we will be better for it. I was ELATED to come across this podcast today! Chris is a fabulous host! Great questions, insightful, clearly does his homework and above all, he’s an admirer of Michael Schur’s career and his efforts on and off the screen. This was a FABULOUS podcast and I can’t wait to listen to all the other episodes. I know I’ll learn something in every podcast.
