Would love another season but I’m so thankful for this one!
This podcast is a breath of fresh air. Smart, vulnerable, honest, funny. It’s a delight to listen and I have learned lots. Another season at any point would be exciting!

Miss you!
Where did you go, ladies? I really enjoyed your podcast and would love to hear some more! You have great insights about the topics you know about and great questions for your guests on the ones you want to know more about. So very entertaining and I want you to come back!

Still enjoying in 2023!
I’m sure the gals are busy these days with their acting careers, but I just wanna put in a good word for those of us who hope the show can make a comeback some day. ✌️ But even if not, I’m grateful the show is still around for people like me to discover years later!

So Grateful this landed on my feed
Long and short I had a weird dream that Brie was my best friend, and have spent the last week seeking out Brie Larson content and have been impressed with every single thing. First I devoured her YouTube channel, and then I found these thoughtful, helpful, sweet and genuine conversations with a diverse cast of experts in many fields. I’m a white woman and a mother of two girls and I am trying to find my way through learning and developing my perspective on equity, social justice, and just trying to be a person in this crazy world. I really really appreciate both of your investment in making this podcast an inclusive place to listen and feel listened to. Please bring it back for another season!

Feel betrayed
Cryptocurrencies are pyramid schemes that burn the planet. Brie should not be promoting NFT’s.

My favorite podcast of all time
This is by far my favorite podcast of all time. I’ve listened to every episode, some of them twice because it’s that good. I feel like Jessie and Brie are like my BFFs and I listened and just audibly laugh. What I like most about this podcast is it’s very easy to listen to but the conversations are sooo good and motivational/stimulating, that I genuinely look forward to listening every week. That is the only con - we need more episodes!!! Even just a 20 minuter per day, I won’t be picky!!! Love you two <3

Simply incredible
I missed several weeks and decided to binge a bunch of episodes today. I laughed. I cried.
I had to pause and take things in. This podcast is everything I needed and more. You’re doing an amazing job, Jessie & Brie.

i really don’t! i get hella bored and over it really fast. but i can’t stop comin back to this one!! someone commented that there’s a perfect combination “of brevity and depth” and that’s the best way to put it. and knowing both of them this is SO THEM!!! 10/10. highly suggest.

Love this show!
I’m a bit late to the party but I’ve gone back and listened to all of the episodes. This is such a great podcast with a good balance of depth and brevity. Brie and Jessie are great hosts!

Jacob Tremblay is officially my favorite actor ever.
This is so good! Tremblay is now my favorite actor of all time, because he’s so kind and generous and awesome. This proved it. But one of my favorite episodes has to be the one on confidence. Brie is so good, so is Jessie, and they have all the best guests. Thank you so much for this great podcast!

Jessie & Brie pick such great guests!!
Oh my gosh, I accidentally rated this 2 stars TWICE… I’m sorry!!! This is definitely a 5-star pod for me. Y’all had me with the Anxiety episode. I found this after hearing Brie on Birbig’s podcast. Wow! Great guests, and what a gift to do something like this with your best friend. Sometimes podcasts with these kinds of topics can be dry and go on too long, but these are relaxed and fun while still being informative.

Stellar
This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites and I look forward to it every week! I’m blown away by the quality of the content and the wealth of experience their guests bring. Keep up the good work ladies!

Where to write
I just finished listening to the truth and guilty pleasures episodes, inviting the listeners to write and when I looked to write, there’s no where to write but here. Where I am supposed to send something? I am so in love with the show and the Truth is I like the feeling to hear you speak; however, It would be much easier if I could send things to you only. I don’t like the spotlight nor I am just looking for a way to get attention from the world when when is Brie who I want share anything with even if it seems selfish.

Upbeat and thoughtful
Learning life lessons was never so tender and funny Very enjoyable was to learn how to overcome obstacles and succeed from the hosts and guests

Top Tier
The thing I love most about this podcast is that these two women bring two completely different experiences and nuances to the podcast. This isn’t just a podcast where two best friends talk about inside jokes. This is a podcast that makes you think, rewind to listen to quotes again and write them down as words of affirmations or daily reminders. This is a podcast that makes you think and learn and grow. Personally, I truly needed this week’s Truth episode and connecting with the hosts and guests on topics that I had not ever been comfortable diving into really gives me a sense of purpose and driving force within my own life. I’ve enjoyed watching Brie step outside her comfort zone with her YouTube channel, and I’ve enjoyed listening to Jessie’s quips and perspective in this podcast. Thanks ladies, keep it up.

Weekly mood booster!
I love this podcast! Jessie and Brie are lovely to listen to and their guests are not only inspiring but very insightful too. I definitely learn something new with each episode both about myself and how I can be better. The kids featured at the end of Amy Poehler's episode were also the cutest things ever. More please!

MARVEL-ous
I love being so open, and hearing others be open about what they need to learn. Making these conversations sound like a chat with your best friends instead of like an interview turns these conversations into such productive moments. Love this so much!

Pushing yourself higher further faster
I am a huge fan of Brie as captain marvel and was intrigued when I found she had a podcast. It’s proved to be much more it’s really given me food for thought and taught me to think more of myself and life

Love it!
This podcast is incredible so far. The foundation is the 10+ years of friendship Jessie and Brie have, and that makes it feel like the podcast has been around for a long time.
Being familiar with their other work (I’ve been a fan of Brie’s since Hoot and am currently loving Jessie’s work on Mythic Quest) was the initial draw, but the relatable topics and the rapport they have with each other and their guests have made me a consistent listener. Their guests are knowledgeable and entertaining. It’s obvious a lot of effort goes into crafting the topics and being prepared, but they are not afraid to have honest conversations in the moment. You get the sense that the podcast is coming from a genuine place and that they really enjoy exploring these topics with their friends.
Definitely excited to see where this podcast goes, especially since they said the direction of the show will be steered by listeners. I hope it continues for a long time, there is definitely a lot to learn!

Super Enjoyable
Jessie and Brie have the perfect voices for podcasting, and the pacing is so perfect! The conversations put me at ease, but pique my interest at the same time so I can relax and engage with the content while doing other tasks. Great job guys!
Also, funnily enough, the episode on anxiety lowered my anxiety 😂

Brie Larson is seriously the worst celeb these days, and that’s including Harvey Weinstein. Listen at your own risk.

Sound issues
I’m interested to see where this goes but please hire a producer. The levels are BONKERS which makes it hard to follow. You’re pros - speak into the mikes. Nothing personal - just some constructive criticism. Love your dynamic!

** Home Run **
I learned of this podcast from an article the NY Times did on Brie. After listening to an episode with Glennon Doyle I’m hooked. The love and trust these two have for one another anchors a playground in which honest, smart and funny conversation ensues. I can’t help but wish I was apart of their posse. I trust I’m not alone. Loved it!
Home Run for Learning Lots
Amazing Start! Excited For Whats To Come
First off, I am so so glad this podcast exists! I think Brie is such a light of a human being, her Instagram just fills me with joy ☺️ The fact that Rupi Kaur is the first guest they had on this show and that Glennon Doyle will be on the next episode already reflects the amazing content this podcast is going to put out. The first episode was fantastic, these girls are both so themselves when they are talking to each other as well as to their guests and it’s so enlightening. I think anyone who listens to this podcast is really in for a treat!
❤️❤️😍
I would love to see you have Radhi Devlukia on, she’s amazing and such a positive light!

Insightful, powerful, and exactly what I needed.
This podcast came into my life at a moment where I really needed it. Like so many, 2020 has been a challenging year. I lost my dream job, my health insurance, and my apartment, and it quickly felt like I was spiraling with no hope. I started listening to podcasts, and luckily came across the Learning Lots podcast. This podcast has become such a comfort in navigating tough and unknown situations. It’s healing to think that there’s still so much to learn about each other, so much left to discover in the world, and so many conversations still waiting to be held. I’m really glad I found this podcast. Thank you both for facilitating such a comforting, safe space in this podcast. Also, I love the theme song...it’s so good!

So relevant, meaningful and stimulating
This podcast features relevant, meaningful and interesting topics. Brie and Jessie are brilliant and insightful hosts who ask their very guests excellent questions, intently listen to their great quests, follow up with extremely meaningful questions and, after the guest has completed their sharing, Brie and Jessie give stimulating commentary, typically asking themselves relevant questions which leads to their sharing their own thoughts and experiences. I love this podcast!

LEARN LOTS
I LOVE LISTENING TO THEM!!! Brie and Jessie are such a good duo and I love captain marvel, love Brie, love her YouTube channel, and every time I watch her channel or listen here, I feel SO good!!! It’s so good to learn and listen to yourself and I love that they aren’t learning normal things. They aren’t learning fun facts or about scientific discoveries but they’re learning about real life topics that effect who you are and who you’re going to be as a person. Very inspiring. LOVE love love it.

This is GOLD
First of all, both Jessie and Brie are such bright lights and have this special ability to make you feel comfortable immediately and keep your attention the entire time. Love this. What a great podcast - cannot wait to listen to the rest of the episodes. ❤️❤️❤️

An enlightening podcast of sparks and sparkles
Brie Larson and Jessie Ennis are attempting a remarkable feat by bringing together insightful and introspective heartfelt emotion with expansive and analytical reasoning, within an upbeat and inspiring self-fulfillment narrative. Both women are accomplishing this with readiness and grace, a dynamic energy for two-longtime friends and a challenge for the mind to maintain. Ask many scientists and they will tell you that context switching is impossible or that they don’t possess that sense of active personal intimacy, and many people who consider themselves to possess that sense often shy away from grappling with the analytical or biggest truths of our world. These women mark their emotional territory with big brains and a lot of heart. I see sparks and sparkles flying for their futures in media and podcasts if they choose to go that route on their journeys. Their futures are what they make of them and each of them are an enlightenment to me. ⚡️✨

A Comfort Podcast
I will be honest, I was unsure at first how this podcast would be. In my mind, Brie Larson is (and always will be) one of the most intelligent, put together, and successful celebrities I follow. To see she was cohosting a podcast called “Learning Lots” was a bit intimidating - what would she be learning about? I wasn’t sure I’d be able to keep up! In my mind they’d be discussing professional and personal achievements I have yet to reach, but that is not what this podcast is. This podcast is showing me that someone I admire and respect is in search of the same understanding of themself that I am searching for in myself. It’s a journey we are taking together: Brie, Jessie, myself, and all other listeners. I feel welcomed, not intimidated. It’s about growth, and the thoughts discussed in the episodes stay with me long after I’ve finished listening. If you want to be the best version of yourself, if you want to grow spiritually and/or mentally, or if you just need some positive words in the background of your day, this is the podcast for you.

Being Honest
I am not going to beat around the bush about what I like about this podcast....HONESTY! Yes, I did just yell that. I find it extremely refreshing that Brie and Jessie are being honest in the conversations. They do not hesitate to put themselves into the conversation even when the subject may be uncomfortable. I find myself going beyond merely listening, moving right into introspection. Anything that causes me to reflect on my own decision making and thought processes reeks of free therapy. I am a huge advocate of therapy, or as I like to refer to it “my paid friend.” So if you like to be challenged in your thinking then this is the podcast for you.

Lots to learn, lots to love!
I’m enjoying this podcast series immensely so far! Both of you wonderful ladies are so well spoken and good humored with so much wisdom and experience, and I could listen to you talk all day! You both are massive inspirations to myself and so many others and I seriously admire and adore you so much, and I cannot wait to see what you have in store for the future! Sending so much love

Mind blown and heart full...that’s the Truth!
Ok, ok...listening to the Glennon Doyle portion of the podcast was an out-of-body experience but did not prepare me for Spiros’ mind-blowing thesis that truth only exists as an original. It’s going to take me some time to process it all, but the one thing I’m going to start doing immediately is to connect more. Well done. I am sold on this podcast and I wonder what is coming next?

Funniest Person On Earth
Cozy and Engaging
I am a person who is tasked with very long drives on a regular basis, and my biggest complaint about my commutes is that it’s impossible for me to get bundled up in a blanket with some tea and my cats while driving. Well, Brie and Jessie’s podcast Learning Lots has provided the auditory equivalent of my couch burrito self-care experience, and now my weekly journeys from south Georgia to north Georgia are a bit less monotonous and dreary! I appreciate the curiosity and humility in Learning Lots. I am a medical social worker with a passion for being an active, lifelong learner in order to best serve my community, and I’m always looking for new areas of growth and introspection. I am excited to see where this podcast goes and already love where it has been! It feels like we are all being taken on a journey together to figure out what it truly means to occupy space in this crazy world and how to use that space responsibly. Well done!

Lovely
Loved both episodes so far!!
One request, which may not be doable and if so I’ll make it past. In post production could you raise the volume (if possible)? I work in a plant and is quite loud even with noise canceling earbuds. If not, still love the pod! Love ya both.

A podcast that creates a safe space to be vulnerable, ask questions, and learn
I believe that one things we can do as human beings is to continue to learn and grow with the life we are given. Brie and Jessie use their connection with each other to create a safe space for not only them to be vulnerable and learn, but invite us into that space as well. So far after listening to two episodes, it’s great to see that this podcast has conversations and topics that can come from all sorts of spaces, ideas, and directions. It’s really great to have a podcast in the universe that I really don’t know what to expect when the episode starts, but glad I listened to after because it’s always fun and gives me a sense of growth to learn something new. Thank you Brie and Jessie and I can’t wait to tune in each week. Higher, Further, Faster!

So Inspiring!!
LOVE this idea! Something that hearing Jimmy talk about his climbing brought up for me is the connection between extending your comfort zone and being in awe or being amazed. One of my 2021 goals is to do something to amaze myself and it has been pushing me out of my comfort zone A LOT, both physically and emotionally. It’s very exciting and scary! Thanks for opening the public conversation about it!
EDIT POST EPISODE 2: I had to listen to this episode about Truth twice in a row to make sure I got every word of wisdom. Thank you thank you thank you.

Hope You Feel Happy and Safe in Your Body
What I love most about this podcast is how much love and intention that Jessie and Brie have invested into this project. They have created a safe and inviting space for their listeners to spend time with them as they chat with amazing people like Rupi Kaur and Jimmy Chin. I find it to be so inspiring! I love the dynamic between Jessie and Brie and how supportive they are of each other. Women supporting women, love that! All in all, as an introvert who struggles with anxiety and depression, I think that representation of women understanding their challenges, but refusing to let it be limitation, is amazing. I never really thought I could succeed despite my struggles, until I started listening to Jessie and Brie on YouTube and now on this podcast. Thank you for changing my life.
