I didn’t know what I didn’t know!
I’m sorry for not knowing these existed before I listened to (and loved) your book. Please make more. A comfort listen - no one can bring the same poignancy and catharsis to so many random topics while ALSO providing narration that I enjoy (I’m picky about voices, what can I say?). I can’t find anything else that scratches the same mental itch.

I don’t know where to begin..
Because…we’re here because we’re here because we’re here. Yes, I sang with you crying. Missing my mom and dad and husband. The good ol’ days. Just phenomenal. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨

Is this the best podcast ever??
YES. Yes it is. Would love to hear some more

Wish the hiatus would end
I’m not sure whether these are still monitored, but I have some great comfort in relistening to these. I hope John’s doing well, and I hope these reviews wind up with a resurgence at some point. I was never here when they were new, and I’d love to hear one about “The new ‘normal’” that’s formed since COVID.

Stunning and humble
Profound insight, masterful writing, educational, challenging and humility. What else could one ask for?

He knows how to ask a why question well.
Have you ever listened to a podcast so humanistic and raw that’s it’s beautiful and makes you cry? And how is he calming and educational at the same time? I play it before bed; it’s comforting. 5 out of 5 stars.

It’s Everything
This podcast is everything I want a podcast to be. John Green does what only a great storyteller can do, which is to make the highly personal and mundane feel magical, relatable, and at times absolutely incandescent. He reminds me that amidst all of the worry and existential dread, there are still many things to be revered, remembered, and enjoyed. I give this podcast five stars.

The earnest tone is infectious
I am typically quite cynical (read: emotionally stunted) but this show shucks me like a clam. I cried during probably half of these episodes, but by the end of them, I was smiling. My thanks go out to John Green and all the workers who put this together.

Bye Bye insomnia
I commonly have insomnia so when I get it I just listen to this podcast and boom I’m asleep. The five stars are deserved

I love this podcast.
I have sleeping problems, and this is one of my ways of falling to sleep. John, your voice is very soothing, and it just naturally makes me go to sleep better. I also occasionally have stress, and you explaining the anthropocene is just so calming and it’s great in every way for stress and anxiety. I give the Anthropocene Reviewed, 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Come back!!
I really wish this was still going on. I know John has other podcasts and storytelling medium, but each episode is so poignant. Doesn’t always make me feel better about being a human but it does remind me what it is to be human. I give AR 5 stars.

Delightful Literary audio essays
John Green has quite a talent for writing compelling first person essays AND then recording his reading of them in such a personable way. I definitely wish he’d make more of them!

John Green continues to exceed my expectations
I loved all of John Green’s books when I was a young adult and now as a grown adult the Anthropocene Reviewed is fantastic and heart breaking and hilarious all at once.

Unvarnished life, melancholy and utterly beautiful.
It’ll make you laugh, cry, and Hope. John Green has created a series of small, beautiful Masterpieces. I can only hope he is able to take the time to make more.

Nothing quite like it.
Years later and I am still relistening to every single episode, each time getting something different out of it. John Green, THANK YOU!!!!!!

The Anthropocene Reviewed, reviewed
John green is incredible at writing, reading, and putting everything into these podcasts. His views on the way humanity has become too powerful and yet not powerful enough, on humanities temporal range, and on geese, are all deeply personal yet amazingly widespread and relatable. His way of explaining humanity from one small facet of human kindness is incredible. I know john has said on his YouTube channel: “don’t believe your hype, don’t believe your haters”. A generally good belief, but not quite five stars. I say this because I desperately want you to believe this small portion of your hype. This podcast has slowly become my own new partner, it’s made me cry and it’s made me laugh. It’s been there at very important junctions of my life, and though I do understand it’s hard to realize how anything you have created has reached others, I hope you understand how much this means to me. I love all your writing, the fault in our stars I discovered just after I had been diagnosed with kidney cancer, and it helped me through that phase of my life. I am now three years since the final round if chemotherapy, and still an enthralled by everything you’ve written. You are one of my favorite modern authors, and frankly, I’d read your grocery lists. I give the Anthropocene Reviewed five stars

I wish I could give 10 stars!
I love this podcast so much. I have been brought to tears by a number of episodes. Not because they are sad but because they are so beautiful. John Green’s use of the English language and his style of writing take you on a little journey with each episode. You start off on a path that will often ver off in a totally unexpected direction. Just when you begin to wonder if you will ever get back to the topic at hand he brings you exactly where you need to be. That is when it all falls into place and you are thankful for the journey you just went on.

I’ve listened to every episode more than 10 times and just can’t get enough!! I can quote each one word for word and really fell like I know John green personally😂. This podcast has also inspired me to read all his books and I am so grateful for that because they, especially turtles all the way down, have changed my perspective of life. I can’t wait for more!! Thank you so much John for being able to take this time and make all of our lives better 🙃❤️

Love love love
Nine year old John heartbroken over not getting his books signed crushed my soul and his response to that memory restored my faith in humanity. It’s the little things. John Green gets it.

Unforgettable
Honestly, I had no expectations when I found this podcast. I’m halfway through the episodes and dreading the end. I cry most episodes but I’ve stopped wondering if I’m the only one. I can’t be.

Moving.
Quite beautiful, really. Sometimes it’s really hard to find good podcasts, and this one is VERY good. I love Green’s humor, ideas, writing, and sense of compassion for this current era, the Anthropocene. Everything about it is well written, well told, and well thought about. I truly love this podcast, more so then others. John’s journalism is unparalleled, and his thoughts on things are enlightening. Both the podcast and the book has brought me joy, interest, and tears. Thank you, John.

Hope in the despair
I feel sometimes my friends worry that I look at the world in a way that is too heavy. I am devastated by its injustice and suffering. Yet to me, I feel hope in this anyway. This podcast put words to this hope. It was not dismissive of suffering at all. This brings isolation rather than hope in my mind. Absolutely brilliant.

Truly beautiful
I really miss this podcast. It’s truly beautiful and worth a listen even though there aren’t new ones coming out.

A Work of Art
I have been a fan of John’s work ever since I saw my first Crash Course video in high school and read Looking for Alaska. This podcast will make you laugh, cry, and think about the world in entirely different ways. My life has improved since stumbling upon this podcast and I believe yours will too. I rate it 5 stars.
