I have been a massive participant in the no dunks extended universe for welll over 10 years and “Is This Good?” was 100% my favorite podcast for its entire run. I love movies, but I don’t really have interest in a lot of shows/movies that get covered here. I know its your podcast and you can do whatever you want but just my 2 cents :/. (when the patreon exclusives drop its my go-to listen because i love you guys)

Was looking for a podcast for The final season of Stranger Things and and Jesus Christ if you are going to cover a show take the time to know the casts names. Also, enough with the overuse of the word “cringe” just because you hear your kid say it doesn’t mean you have to

Fine if you like film/TV reviews, but a far cry from the universal richness of Is This Good?

Best podcast ever. Before Thumb War, I’d just sit there alone with my thoughts, staring at the credits like I was solving the Da Vinci Code. Now I still get to ponder, but at least I can listen to you guys argue about the movies while I do it. I used to go to New Rockstars for my breakdowns. Sorry guys, but now it’s all Thumb War.

Not good.

Absolutely love this show. Been a long time listener since the basketball jones days and instafollowed as soon as "Is this good" came out. So far Thumb War has been good. JD and Rachel continue to provide top notch content. My biggest issue is that the movie topics are just way too new. Its only relevant for people who have seen the movies or dont plan to watch which excludes everyone who hasnt seen the movies yet! Basically havnt been able to listen to any of the new content to avoid spoilers. 5 stars out of respect but pleaseeeee consider other topics!

A day late a buck short did you hear I’m not short? Long form only. Idk love ya

I have been with No Dunks crew since the Basketball Jones days, and I’m guessing 90+% of people listening to this found it because of them. The mad cap flavor is the same, but the lack of structure makes it so inconsistent that within and across episodes there is ample opportunities to cringe. Matty O has an underlying anti-intellectual bent that rears its head frequently, and his worst habit is the framing “I don’t know much about X, but” and proceeds to pontificate. This reached its peak w Some really ill-informed music commentary this week and it’s just a bit much to listen to someone bemoan things he actively does not want to understand. There are plenty of uninformed bad takes out there - just roll down a window - so spare yourself the waste and skip this podcast. No one would know about them at all without the coat tails and the host reminds you of that every week

A wonderful antidote to the events of the modern world, this podcast is like hanging out with your funniest, good-hearted friends. Immaculate vibes, fun conversations, movie reviews, and interviews with comedians and no dunkers alike. The first podcast I listen to twice a week. Matt, JD, and Rachel are the best.

Funny banter between three friends who have great opinions and interesting view points. A much needed laugh and I love that they don’t take themselves too seriously. I’ve been listening since the beginning of the podcast. I love you guys! Keep it up!

Matt, JD, and Rachel always bring the fun. I know Matt and JD from their NBA pods over the years. Very excited Rachel made the leap and joined them for Is This Good. Love her perspective. One of the few PODs my wife and I can listen to on road trips together. Jump in.

I look forward to my Is This Good? episodes every week and they never disappoint. The chemistry between Matt, JD and Rachel is immaculate - I cackle out loud while listening all the time. Thank you for producing all this incredible content. Keep it up!

Matty O is great. Some of the guests don’t seem to be in line with Matty O’s following based off the No Dunks flavor. A little off putting. Update: I stopped listening to the episodes with guests. I only listen to the JD/Rachel/No Dunks crew episodes.

Come for Matt and JD being oddly hilarious Canadians. Stay for the somehow even more hilarious guests. Become a paying peehound for Rachel singing Cher.

I spent 90 to 220 seconds writing this review. Worth it. Great pod.

Somehow I went from occasionally listening to NBA podcasts to now *needing these guys (and Rachel) in my ears. I don't know how I got here but I look forward to every episode - somehow. Calendly links to "schedule time with me" - are these good?

I echo the below, Mausten, JC, and JC's sister Doyle are great.

It’s just not. It’s a whole different thing. Don’t expect No Dunks. Bc it’s not No Dunks. It’s something just as fun if not more. By the guy who makes everyone at No Dunks laugh. Including me. Often. And JD doesn’t get to talk on No Dunks bc Matt will have him drawn and quartered. But it is NOT No Dunks. If I hear anyone mention No Dunks I swear to god.

JT, Mark and Austin have such good chemistry. I also like when JT’s sister Raquel comes on although she does laugh a lot. Overall 5/5 show

Best chemistry on a podcast, always a good listen.

Long time listener, first time reviewer. Hearing JD mention how difficult it is to leave a review on apple…i had to give it a try. In his defense, it did take me about 10 clicks to figure it out and it took me dozens of seconds to complete this task. Keep up the amazing work Matt, JD, and Rachel!

JK just came to offset the previous review. This pod is hilarious!

This is going to sound like a back-handed compliment but this is my favorite sleep show. I have a set of podcasts that I like to listen to when I’m trying to fall asleep and this has made its way to the top of the playlist. The podcasts that make it on the “sleep show” playlist are typically light-hearted, funny, have good banter and not too many ads. This podcast checks all those boxes! I especially like the great beyond because of the chemistry between the three members of the crew. I especially like when Matt lures Rachel into telling a story that elicits a lovingly embarrassed groan from JD. This is not to say I wouldn’t listen to it during the day but I save it for night night time.

I love Is This Good? !!! Matt and jd have great chemistry(with each other and guests), banter and fun discussions. the conversations are always engaging and entertaining. If you're looking for a podcast that will make you laugh, listen now !!!!!!

Listen to find out

Is this podcast good? Yes, it’s good. What makes it good? It’s a conversational-style podcast consisting of playful topics that are discussed in a way that can make you feel like you’re involved in the back and forth. What are some things I think are good? Well, this podcast, which I’ve already stated. All the sponsors that fill the coffers of this show? Very, very good (I understand how capitalism works…but is capitalism good? Don’t worry, not the type of subject that will get into depth on this show). What are some things that aren’t good? Should we go back to capitalism? Nope, I already told you that this isn’t that type of show. But if you want to hear some fun back and forth around things you’ve thought of while lying sleepless in bed contemplating the economic systems of the country you live in and whether or not you’ll ever find financial freedom within that system, give this a download. You (probably) won’t regret it.

Just listen already.

Matt and JD are awesome! Been with them for years since their Starters days. I skip their daily shows as their third host is awful, but their guest episodes are great. Would love to give 5 stars but am turned off secondary to above detail

I kept ignoring the No Dunks plugs for this show — thought it wasn’t my type of podcast. Flash forward a year and I’ve listened to every episode (ever). Matt, JD, Rachel, and guests are hilarious (and sometimes incisive) on any and every topic. Give it a try, you won’t regret it.

If, like me, you always thought that The Complainted Area should become its own pod, you will love ITG! Matt and JD are known delights, Rachel is a revelation. Who knew Digby had treasures that don’t come from the sea!

Matt and JD act like they don’t like basketball but only have basketball related guests on.

Funny show. Matt & JD are fantastic. Rachel, on the other hand, is not. She’s gross and obnoxious. The great beyond episodes have gone off a cliff since she started becoming a regular contributor

This is the one podcast that both my wife and I can enjoy together during our daily commute into and out of the city. Listening to Matt and JD has become a highlight in our day and we’ve grown closer because of that. As Matt, JD and their guest discuss whether certain things are good, both my wife and I have learned a lot about each other as we often disagree with a variety of topics that the boys and guest have discussed. After arguing each other’s points on whether this is good or not, we will usually try and harness that energy and take it to the bedroom and let me tell you, our sex life couldn’t be better! Btw, I have determined that JD is my spirit animal. Well worth a listen, Is this Good should be added to everyone’s queue.

I love this show. Matt Osten and JD can talk about basically anything and I will happily listen. After working behind the scenes for years as a producer, including several seasons with “The Starters” on NBA TV, Matt really shines at the center of the conversation and I’m so glad he created this platform to share his talent. Matt is a great comedy writer, interviewer and host, and I hope this show introduces him to more and more new fans as it grows. He’s charismatic and funny enough that he really should be hosting a TV series or something. This guy can talk to anyone about anything and make it relatable and funny. If you need something fun, mostly lighthearted, clever and just plain enjoyable to listen to, give it a try.

Jd is my long lost father please tell him to reach out to nicole!!! Thx

I’ve been a big fan of Matt and JD since the starters and have really missed hearing Matt’s humor since he left. It’s a great podcast and I enjoy listening each week. Unfortunately they stray too far from the No Dunks cleaner comedy for me. Sometimes they start talking about odd sex behavior and dropping a few too many F bombs for my taste.

favorite pod

Hey Matty O, JD and Rachel, Gramma Lana here! Young Pep Dash clued me in about your podcast. I’m still here. My Grandchildren are 36 and 30 years old now. I have one Great Grandchild, Jackson. I’m still on Twitter and Tribel. Follow our guys Tassie, Trey and Skeets. Also Leigh Leigh on his world tour. Still Dubs Til I Die. Nearly 83 years old and so happy to have found you! Last I knew Matt was in Hollywood. I think of all of you often Keep on keeping on!!

It is a true and humble honor to be the prestigious 399th review of the Is This Good? podcast. These fellas know how to talk with their mouths. Here’s to another 399 reviews! Sincerely, A listener by ear

Is this podcast good? A resounding yes will be your response when you allow your ears to bear witness to this expert opinion show. Be dazzled daily as you find the answers to the questions we’ve all been asking.

Though it was a great podcast, until today’s episode…after crying with laughter for the majority of the listen I now consider it a GOAT tier show.

Is This Good uses a simple device to fuel funny, topical conversations between Matt, the host, JD, the producer, and the guest. The companion pod, The Great Beyond, is also an enjoyable listen.

My favorite podcast going, Matt and JD always offer many larfs and Matt is an incredible host, perfectly balancing great conversation to answer whether or not a topic is in fact, good, but also digging into additional insight from his guest on their experiences or other topics. 10/10, highest recommendation. Plus plenty of PSSF.

👍

My husband introduced me to the podcast and it’s such a fun time! Lots of larfs and PSSF 2 times a week, who could ask for more?

Yes. Podcast good.

Always loved the basketball jones but the blank jones + no season required were always my favorites… now its back and better than ever! Thank you oh great mattyO for learning from hollywood and taking the backwards lateral step back to podcasting for all of us

Este podcast es bueno

I don’t even know why it’s good but it is.

Been watching is this good since day one and I love every episode. Always keeps me laughing and thinking great work guys🔥
