Just and FYI, we aren’t the only fans of boxed wine. I had some birds trying to make a nest over a security light. I put the empty box up there to block them. They made the nest inside the box and stayed the entire spring :) I cannot paste a pic here or would! Love the podcast!

She is loud, intrusive, and ruins this podcast. She talks over Bobby now too so I can’t hear Kathleen or Holly Bobby. I love Kathleen too much to give this podcast fewer than 5 stars but Jody needs to go start her own podcast and take that laugh with her. She’s a producer on the last special, guys. She wants to remain anonymous. I want her to tone it wayyy down and so do others. She’s loud, obnoxious, and not the least bit funny.

I feel like I’m hanging with Kathleen at the pub. It’s a friendly, warm chat with a friend. So glad I found you. 🥰 I miss you when you’re gone and I really enjoy having paddles on a mic where we can hear her and she can fully participate in the chatter.

I'm listening to episodes in reverse order, which is like reading a book from back to front. So it can be a little confusing as is this review... Cue Irish jig music. Night, night... Gracias a las lecciones semanales, ya puedo hablar español como una española borracha... o Chi-Chi Rodríguez. Speaking of language, here's a primer to Madiganese: • Termites • Paddles • Holly Bobby • Goo fer you • King & Queen News • Tourons • Golf and hockey, not tennis; soccer, not fútbol • Gatos con nombres de Reyes de Pins Mejicanos • Trail cam discoveries • Midwest culture and cuisine • Into Thin Air on Mt. Everest (seasonal) • Weird ways saints were killed and other true crime Guidelines: ~ We're not stayin' dumb, 'Murica. ~ You have the right to skip deep dives. ~ Random mierda but in regular segments. ~ Drink, eat, don't take life so seriously. Tour news Pull up a barstool! Grab yourself a drink. Welcome. Cue Irish jig music.

Love the casual, silly banter. Though I do differ with Kathleen’s Target feelings. I like that the youngster workers smile and wish you a nice day. I even had a chat about favorite Siete Potato Chip flavors with a young Target clerk - Sour Crema and Onion is fabulous. In this era, it’s refreshing to have the ‘children’ engage customers with a kind greeting. Keep up the silliness. It is appreciated!

I want to shop and buy but I cannot not find your merch. I see your CDs but I want clothing. A hoodie sounds great or long sleeve shirt sounds amazing. Something letting the world know Jack is my hero and no one will be getting my DNA and I would like a lawyer so there is no need to ask. Being Catholic I am coming to you frist. St. Anthony would help but it really is not his responsibility because I cannot figure out where the store is and Jesus has too much going on with all the wackos in power. Everyday he must say “you got to be kidding me… this is unreal… what, what, what do these people use their minds for! My guardian angel is great but I am super clumsy and I faint a lot more then any southern bell every. My are not graceful. Stand up then down on the floor. I have given myself 2 concussion, a few black eyes, and so many embarrassing moments. My guardian angel is very busy keeping me safe from me. So having said all that can a like be sent to me so I can just click and go the the store. I love your shows you are hysterical . To me memorizing the Apostle Creed in 2nd grade was a huge accomplishment. Without it Frist Communion was postponed. Sorry for all the detail. A link would just be fantastic so I could go buy the things that I need! Thank you! Paddles is not political. She just have been to many places in the world so she bring a lot more experience to the table. That is not being political that is being intelligent and knowledgeable. Paddle is great. Side project. I think you the podcast should create a recipe for the best Bloody Mary. Do a hot one and one for people like me that do not test fate anymore because Mother Nature will win. I will be fine but bruising and pain can definitely expect. Merch shop like most important point of the story. Thank you!

I love Kathleen Madigan, but Paddles who used to be in the background is now front and center with Kathleen and it doesn’t fit. I’ve listened since day one, but Paddles seems to love bringing up politics a lot lately and it’s very annoying. We’re here to listen to Kathleen and laugh. This isn’t Paddles Pubcast.

Who’s “not too smart”now Kathleen? Do your research.

Just wanted to let you know that listening to your podcast is the highlight of my week. Sometimes you say things that are so relatable that I wish I could pick up the phone and call you! I know you said you needed something new to watch but if you feel like listening to something, I know you will love my other favorite podcast about true crime in the south called Gone South by Jed Lipinski. P.S. I am writing a review because I can’t figure out how to send you a message like the other termites.

Love Kathleen & Paddles. Highlight of my week!

She is wearing pants 😄😂

A few years ago we loved this quirky, harmless and fun podcast. Sadly the drinking, and slurry gal pals are no longer funny and sometimes mean spirited. Paddles recently claimed Celine Dion was in love with herself, and married her manager when she was 9! OMG, why all the hate? Celine has a progressive incurable disease. Not cool ladies. Bye bye.

Have been listening since it started. Love Kathleen but Paddles is talking and interrupting too much. I hope they fix it soon.

One of the reasons I loved the podcast was that Kathleen’s thoughts were the focus. I liked Paddles in the background as a ‘soft’ peanut gallery who is good at prompting Kathleen to fill in any gaps. I hope the Bob calls r just a phase. It’s the stories about Bob (and others) that are entertaining.

Consistently delivers! I love the clear respect for America’s Heartland. I worry, though, that she’s not making any money. I could endure a few ads — maybe at the end? That would still be better than almost any other podcast and I could turn it off without missing any of the golden Irish tongue, or listen to final ads out of gratitude for an uninterrupted hour plus of solid entertainment

I’ve been a fan of her comedy and Kathleen’s podcast since day one. It’s a blast to listen to every week and I look forward to them coming.

It is increasingly difficult to not shout at my tablet for Paddles to be quiet - for someone who doesn’t want to be present on camera, she has increasingly ingratiated herself to be across the desk of the ‘Star’ and has become more pompous, patronizing, exaggerated, and overbearing

Kathleen! We NEED YOU here in Albuquerque! AKA: The 505. There’s even Irish Games here, although I’d need to Google those details! I’m Scot’s Irish - HEARTY BREEN & MacKENZIE stock & proud of it! We have a new comedy club here and are getting some big names!! Sadly, NOT THE KATHLEEN MADIGAN! Puhleeze tell us what it’ll take to get you here! My (adult) daughters, my friends…we ALL NEED YOU here. Kathleen, my 50th CATHOLIC High School Reunion is in 2027! I feel the ingrained worry that you’ve somehow been made to feel unwelcome in our beautiful state! We can find you stunning lodging! The BEST TAMALES AND MENUDO!!! Have you tried SOPAPILLAS??? You’ve GOTTA have those before you die!!! (I can’t join you in those, Kathleen. I turned 60 & became lactose intolerant. 65 became zGLUTON intolerant. Ugh.) That means NO BEERS for me…but that’s more for YOU!! Your Podcasts bring me much joy. Even tho I’m really distressed you feel unwelcome in NM!! Have your people look into QUEZADO’S COMEDY CLUB! Also the local casinos. Lotta $$ here for your show‼️ That’s all the groveling I’ve got tonight. Remember, Great Termites In New Mexico!!

too much paddles

Bad Bunny couldn’t have him on his show because he passes away in August 2024. Just started listening and love the show!!

Love we can hear Paddles on the mic!

Working on hearing all 256 podcasts. From what I am hearing, I love her. Genuine, kind, witty. Not sure how many I’ve heard so far. You keep making them…I’ll keep listening!

I have been a fan and dedicated listener since the inception of this pubcast. Paddles, I love you and I’m happy you got a microphone, but please stop interrupting Kathleen and inserting your own 1 liners. It’s chaotic and gets the show off topic so often it’s getting frustrating to listen to this podcast. Again, coming from a fan who loves you both but is here to listen to Kathleen’s jokes.

One of the funniest comedian’s, EVER! Kathleen’s humor would make for a great partnership for my very successful moving business (DRYVE) throughout the United States. Jim Boswell

Makes me feel like we are just having a chat between friends at a restaurant. Love it and keep up the work of the Lord.

I’m 37 and I’ve been watching Kathleen’s standup forever and I was watching tom papas podcast and found out she has a podcast absolutely love it so much just wish it was more than once a week

I love Kathleen Madigan’s comedy. However, this podcast is just sloppy. Whoever is in the background laughing and commenting needs to go. It’s extremely annoying and takes away from Kathleen’s commentary. Either have a good cohost ‘foil’ sitting next to you or go solo.

Been listening to this podcast for about a year . It is so much fun and frequently informative . I love to hear about life on the road and of course her family . Always look forward to Wednesday.

Person in the background is great(paddles) also the chewing isn’t annoying whatsoever and Kathleen is funny and informative all you people dissing on paddles are wrong

Very happy to find her. The best medicine is laughter, ask me I a retired nurse. Yes ! Better to laugh than cry! I’m letting my nursing friends know! Boy, could I tell you wild stories about nurses and doctors . You wouldn’t believe the stuff that goes on in a hospital!!

I agree with the other reviewers. Whoever that lady is laughing all the time give her a microphone. It’s annoying to listen to her as it sounds like she’s talking in a tunnel. I don’t mind the slurping and munching as much but I know a lot of people do.

If you want fun facts to entertain your friends at parties or just to your cat, K.M. hilarious observational pod is the one for you! Never miss ☘️!

I love listening to you Kathleen, but for the love of all that is good and holy please give your ‘cohost’ a microphone?! I cannot tell you how difficult it is to hear what sounds like someone yelling from the other room with about half of what is said being audible. Pretty please?

I find straining to hear who she’s talking to annoying. Mic her up already! I enjoyed it but had to stop listening.

I’m from upstate NY and we call them Lightening Bugs. ❤️ the show!!!

For the love of God, please stop chewing into the mic!! I would rate a 5 otherwise, so I’m hoping that this review is read and acknowledged so I can change the review. I can’t give any higher as the chewing in the mic is that maddening and makes that portion of the show literally unlistenable.

I absolutely love listening to I’d like to know how to get to her site where I can get merch and hit up the official ticket site?

As another Irish Catholic family member Kathleen really identifies the funniest things about being in a large family. I look forward to hearing her pubcast and even listen more than once. Thank you for being you

Absolutely fantastic stuff! I never miss an episode and end up listening to episodes multiple times to make sure I don’t miss any of the interesting stories Kathleen comes up with every week. And she does this for us for no money! She’s a saint and we’re so lucky to have her:) go ahead munch as loud as you want in those snacks and talk sports if you want- it’s all good if you and Paddle are there lol

I love Catherine‘s comedy and think she is witty and hilarious. I’m of her generation and can relate to a lot of the things she talks about. My only criticism is the first five minutes of each episode where she eats snacks sent in by listeners. The crunching chewing and slurping on microphone drives me nuts. Just skip that part and enjoy the rest of the podcast.

I’ve always loved Kathleen Madigan but didn’t know about her podcast until recently. I’m catching up listening to oldest first. I’m always laughing out loud in public all by myself, getting odd looks. I think I’m swearing a bit more since listening. I only wish I could afford the pricey tickets in Seattle to see her in person. Informative and funny!

Kathleen has a way to make all of us feel like we are good friends just hanging out and talking. I love her podcast and appreciate no commercials (but I understand if she starts) podcast/ pubtcasts cost money.

I love Kathleen’s random subject matter and her ability to make fun of absolutely everything. We all need a little Kathleen sunshine now and then. She is also amazing to see live too.

As a huge fan I Look forward to each podcast . Seen you live twice and looking for another opportunity to see you again soon. Love the “What Are We Watching” segment as your recommendations are spot on for me!! Sending love to baby cat, Paddles and of course you too:}

I’m just a few years younger than you- Don’t be mean to other women Meagan- keep on doing everything else you’re doing- and maybe don’t support golf courses- d like jungle Jenga golf courses- NOT manicured with poison I love you!

When Covid first hit, they didn’t let people in crowded, live theaters, so thankfully I wandered into Madigan’s Pubcast. Love the “life on the road” stories, the current event stuff that’s so heavy, but Madigan comes outta left field and gives us a break. She just a damned funny comedian! Never goes preachy, and always heads for fun, bizarre topics. Laughing and smiling are good for you. Listen to this one! Update: Kathleen, you called these unfortunate people with Encephalitis Water Heads and still seem to think that’s kinda funny? Huh. Not good, or comical.

Kathleen has a great standup act but too long and laugh less on Podding

I look forward to hearing from Kathleen every week. She has created a platform for her journalism skills. She has consistently shared her often hilarious and spot on reactions to print and video items provided by her research assistants. I like hearing the laughter and muted comments of her technicians and I’m sure it helps Kathleen. They are doing the work of the Lord.

Ten stars! We love you!

I can’t imagine my life without Kathleen’s Pubcast now, it’s the highlight of my week when a new one is released! Here’s to many more, cheers Kathleen and Paddles!
