This is so good

somehow i found the podcast before the video show the end also i ❤️numbers segment and rat the story of a rat 5 stars for you benedict! (and yes i know the shows ended) (and i’m very sad about it) (it’s not like i listens to it when it was still going) (i found it like early 2023) (i still listen to reruns) (and watch the video show) (and yeah goodbye) producer joe tag, proposal merch available now!

Thank you for all your episodes and we hope you have a great rest of your life.

I love this show yo I began my journey like sometime in 2018 with the snapchat show, jumping into drama with a plastic rat & zero context. I fell in love. I just began listening to the podcasts of Youtuber News, though I began listening during the final weeks of its unforeseen demise — which seems weird because we do not know which force (assuming it is legal) would withhold all the lawsuits against its content all at once like a flashmob. I’ve always felt part of the loop when engaging in this show and my spirits are always lifted, effectively distracting my demons. so although our time of fresh content comes to an end, ironically as a news show, i can expect this podcast to always remain relevant within my childhood and my generation’s somewhat inside-joke type humor.

HOW DARE YOU!!! This podcast is influential. You can’t just end it. This is horrid. This better be a haha funny joke. -Johnny Mcdoe

Thank you for all 102 episodes Benedict! We’ll miss you

i’ve been listening to this podcast since i found it on snapchat as a shorter video segment, and i have to say the podcast itself is so much more entertaining, and not to mention brilliant for pets. not only do i have a rat, who appreciates the rat the story of a rat™️ segment, but i also just adopted a kitten named piper who deeply enjoys listening to sukis origin story, making it a very family friendly podcast for us. if you review my review, i am preemptively reviewing your review with four stars, as it will most likely be nice but also could be not so much. also congrats on the engagement! luke-warm regards to the stache, and a scalding regard to suki.

Every week I listen to the podcast, and every week I am somehow consistently surprised by how funny each episode is and how old I feel after each listen. This show should absolutely not be funny to someone who not only has never been an avid watcher of any youtube content but also not a participator to Tiktok! Surely this should make the podcast and the video show nonsense to me, but that is literally never the case (although I feel 1 million years old)! I once made the mistake of listening to the podcast while working out and had to leave as I could not stop myself from giggling. Truly so embarrassing and I will never go back. Thanks Benedict, you’ve ruined my hardcore reputation at the gym with your silliness. (Well earned 5 star review though, great work)

I listened to every single episode on spotify, and now I am making my way through it again here on iTunes. I can conclude that it is a good show. Filled with rat history, piccolo toots, and sometimes, true youtuber facts. If you don't care to watch any youtube videos but enjoy commentary on nonsensical internet drama, listen to Youtuber News: The Podcast. If you feel like becoming overly invested in the life story of a plastic rat, listen to Youtuber News: The Podcast. If you're just bored and need a good laugh, listen to Youtuber News: The Podcast. If you like numbers, go back to school, nerd.

You just did 101 episodes (102 by the next week)

Dear Beniboy, I’v warned you!!! If Cat the story of a Cat will not appear after the latest episode, the Christmas one, your unpaid taxes will get you to the prison you kept putting big Chunges’s family in!!! P.S I know……… Love the podcast. And pls continue the alphabet of YouTube.

Hi. As I said, the big gray thing that takes all the space in my living room is wondering, ya just wondering. Not that it relates to this review or something. I took the gray thing outside to do it’s stuff and then he was shot. I figured out that it might be the cat that my brother, Got Belvita mentioned. So now I’m warning you that he is coming to London to destroy the podcast BECAUSE IT IS TOO GOOD!!! I just wanted to let you know, I can’t have my only survivor silly nonsense be gone. Ummmm, by.

Hi! I watch your show on Snapchat! I wanted to say how cool it is and how Important what your doing is. I know a lot of it is goofy, but also you’re drawing attention to the fact that there’s systems in place that are letting these “kids” keep getting away with these things. And that’s so scary bc these kids turn into powerful people. So yeah I think what you’re saying is really important. Thank you!

Hello dearest host, You read my review on the couch guy episode. (The WiFi *all hail* chair committee one) I’ve been having a terrible couple of months and this made it better. I’ve loved your show for a year and I just want you to know how appreciated you are. Much love, Briar <3 ♦️♦️♦️

im annoyed that i like this show so much seeing as i dont know anything about youtubers or care about them at all.

you just seemed kinda sad that there weren't many reviews :)

What happened to the producer joe producer tag

Benedict!!! I don’t know how much time I have, but you need to know this. The Rat is secretly an Elder God who is going to team up with Cthulhu to take over the world. I would suggest gearing up with some Mithril Chainmail and a sword made of titanium. I also suggest you making Suki super large to use as a steed, and bringing Producer Joe as a sidekick and inevitable sacrifice. You are the only one that can save us. Good luck, Benedict, you may need it. P.S. I think a follower of the rat is behind me and about to kill me, so if you’re seeing this, I have successfully sent it, though may still be dead.

I love to listen to YouTube while at my desk job as a cog in the corporate machine. But sometimes I wonder who are the other people listening to this. Am I normal and everyone else is odd, or am I equally as odd. Anyways thanks for the Tuesday pick me up. :)

the -kl- is cool, very funny. now stop.

Can you stop reading my reviews. My name is Olivier and i ask you, are you purposely doing this? Also, I have Been listening sense episode one.(also you are allowed to say my name)

dearest benedict, your show has brought me the greatest of comforts, as it is the common ground betwixt myself and my two sisters. twas an opportunity to bond over the cursed rat, foiled political pursuits, and infamous scandals regarding celebrities we have no care for. i have since moved from american to britain for university and miss my sisters terribly. i urge you to review my review since they, too, listen to your program. methinks they would find the “shout out” quite humorous. congratulations are in order, per your recent engagement and forthcoming nuptials. you are truly a pleasant presence in the virtual hellscape we have dedicated all of our time to, and for that, i am grateful. cordially, katherine rose

hello mr. Town i am writing to inform you of my review, and it is containing two notable notes upon discovery of the podcast: 1. i was expecting a long, riveting, hour long podcast and was quite sad to find they’re only 20 minutes. fret not as i can and will listen to every single installment of said podcast. 2. you mentioned how useless bitcoin is and regular currency in general. genius statement which requires a follow up to please inform the people what currency would bare your face and what would it be called and what is the exchange rate? if you’ve discovered this review i am awaiting your reply post haste. p.s. the podcast is great in all its twenty minute glory :)

5/5 for the pronunciation “skellington”

I neither know nor care anything about any of the YouTubers or TikTok stars mentioned in this podcast, but I've been a fan of Benedict Townsend since his early CupOfTeam days, and I would listen to him talk about literally anything. I'm so happy that he's now rich and famous and starting his own religion and getting married. Way to go, Ben! You'll always be my president.

The international YouTuber news conglomerate has co opted the red diamond as its symbol of affiliation, which is actually one of the protected symbols of the International Red Cross. Misuse of the symbol is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions. Ben, you’re my favorite war criminal ♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️♦️

This surreal, maybe satirical, improv heavy, news light fever dream of a podcast often makes my day.

Hi can we get 2 updates a week instead of 1 I’m tired of waiting

I like it! Extra star for the cute cat: ⭐️

Mr townsends all seeing omnipitant presence is so powerful the only way you can witness it’s full power is if you have seen the enlightenment and revoke the rats ways HAIL WIFI AND THE ALL POWERFUL ORB

This is the best podcast. Also this is the only podcast ever. This is the only one. but in all seriousness truly love the all the shows and they makes me smile... even when I’m in school.♦️

This is keeping me up with YouTube and I love that meaning I don’t have to do much lol and I love everything about thissss

cheese

love u eggs bennidict, keep being you (or don’t) doesn’t matter to me all that matters is the laughing lady, and sukey

I always heard Benedict say to listen to the podcast and I thought that I could live without it. I soon found that I could not.😳

This is my favorite podcast I always watch the YouTuber News on Snapchat

It’s quite a controversy how Benedict says controversy. On one hand he says it right and on the other he says it wrong and he can never seem to figure out which is which. All in all Benedict is a dashing man who wades through all of the YouTube controversy to bring us a simplified yet more complex version of said controversy. Also side note 8675309 Jenny Jenny 8675309-eee-iiii-eeeiiinnnn (this has been my entry for the numbers segment I’ve been your host Bond, Bail Bond) In conclusion controversy controversy, Benedict 2021 for president of some unspecified place where he gets all his accents from, boo the rat, yay Benny boi, yay suki. #reviewreview

A very strange podcast indeed, I sure love Benny Boy and The Rat, but there certainly needs to be more Suki. I often find myself wondering around in rain, thinking about who I am. Who is The Rat? Why am I here? What am I doing with my life? This podcast answers one of these questions, very thoroughly. Very silly, wonderful! 5/5 stars

Chomp

You could’ve easily made all of these people up and I wouldn’t know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ still gonna listen to Benny tell the news, still gonna hear the words “there’s trouble in the hype house” in my nightmares

So, I am sure that the rat is working w suki to get famous so that they can overthrough the show and invite the fancied fancy penguins on to over through Benedict and then use the show to broadcast there plan to wipe out all buzz cutt Benedict’s across the world. :) -joe

I’ve never been good with words but please, listen. Remember how we would laugh, Marjorie? Remember the summer nights filled with campfires and ice cream? I know I never should of stolen your stapler and I have to live with what I’ve done for the rest of my life but Marjorie please is there any way you could forgive me? Signed, Blarjorie

a fancy show with fancy penguin suits and fancy seal dresses required for entry. fancy crab costumes are also accepted. if you are not a fanciful person and don’t like fancy things or penguins, this is not the podcast for you, mate. i only wrote this to hear bennyboi say “penguin” and “fancy” multiple times. thank you and goodbye. P.S. when will suki replace the rat of nastiness (and i don’t mean benedict, the other one)?? i want “cat: the story of a cat”! down with the rat!!

Go follow me on tiktok! @charlidamelio😉

The answer for the million dollar question is it no one? :)

thanks to benedict for creating such a silly show for our entertainment. it’s perfect to listen to while i workout :)

Dear Benedict , I write you from my safe house, the location of which must remain a secret due to rat related affairs, so please please do not read this review aloud on review review. I risk my safety and possibly that of every rat in existence to write this review to tell you, love the show, less rat please I am constantly surrounded by them. They are always watching. Once again please do not read this on review review. Be safe From the rats .

Hurray!

Hi, how are ya? I have a question... how old is the rat? Love the show!!

Hi Eggs Benedict. Producer Joe is the best part of Youtuber News the Podcast. I suggest he start doing the show himself, or we might have some problems. Long live producer Joe! -Your biggest threat, Tana Mongeau
