All the magic. All the humor. All the humanity.

Love how PJ picks topics and how he dives into the stories! Did not realize I need to know about all of these things!

I enjoy PJ’s intelligent yet casual speaking style. Always proper grammar with very interesting subject matter.

And easy to listen to. I’m really this pod so far.

Feels like a ratings/growth hack but I think it worked??? 👏👏👏

Meh...it just This American Life lite. But with WAAAAAAY more commercials!! Way more commercials. I mean a lot of commercials.

I would give this podcast five stars for its content. I ha enjoyed just about every episode. It is very well researched and presented. However, the number and length of commercials is getting ridiculous.

information and calm

16 minutes into this episode and there have been almost 15 minutes of ads, insane.

In the most recent episode, the podcast begins with two minutes of commercials followed by a four minute introduction. From around the 6:00 mark to the SIXTEEN minute mark, it is advertising.

Love this show

Search Engine answers questions I didn't even realize I had. Some themes seem to be: our relationship with technology, the music industry, drug safety, crumbling American society, animals in urban areas. But don't worry! It's fun and interesting. Give it a try.

This show is great journalism. Very fun. Very interesting.

Funny, insightful, interesting. Love this podcast!

Wow wowo wow. I first learned about this one through a Planet Money feature about Tether and its usefulness in enabling text message scams and how those scams are powering human trafficking in Cambodia. Excellent journalism that deserves the large following and patient audience prerequisite of excellent journalism!

Love the show. Thank you

This podcast is great but god I miss reply all!!!! Your goofy friendship with Alex Goldman beautiful and helped get me through covid

I found out about this podcast via a planet money episode, and I fell in love with search engines excellent reporting

You should mention the freedom app in your next episode – – and it absolutely saved me while writing my dissertation and sounds much more advanced and effective than either the brick or the other app that you mentioned. It’s not super pricey and in my opinion extremely well worth the investment so definitely merits a shout out. At least for a non-software engineer like me, it is also impossible to get around, unlike Screen Time controls

Always fresh and interesting. New topics that I would never think to ask, researched and presented in the most entertaining way. Always waiting for the next episode!

That’s about it

I listen to 35+ pods and this is the only one that I consistently look forward to each episode. PJ and team have a way of featuring the most topical conversation and question that no one else seems to be asking. I’m always recommending episodes to friends.

You’re the best!!

Every week, PJ plumbs to the very bottom of questions nagging questions you didn’t quite realize were bugging you. It’s like spending a weekend on a scavenger hunt with a school chum you haven’t seen in years. Not to be missed.

T A N G E R I N E Thanks for all the great episodes!

PJ Vogt has a talent for making even the most obscure topic interesting to a wide audience. He asks insightful questions, presents details intelligently, and does it all without coming across as pretentious or preachy. Highly recommended!

The best! Everything that’s good about podcast. Love love love

I dig the broad range of topics covered. Often, it’s not something I thought would be interesting, but turns out it is.

Tangerine

The topics and investigations are mildly interesting. PJ on his own isn’t as fun/smart/interesting as the duo was. One-person pods are a bit one dimensional.

Love the idea of the show and how you follow and interesting idea through a journalistic lens.

Followed my favorite host, PJ, from Reply All to Search Engine. Every episode is interesting and brings up great discussions with my partner and I! 100% recommend

It's nice to find a podcast that prioritizes researching the interesting little stories they present.

I was so sad when reply all ended. But search engine fills the void. It’s funny, intelligent and a joy to listen. So glad this is here.

This is honestly my favorite podcast. PJ reports like my brain works.

This show and particularly PJ Vogt reminds us all why journalism is important, can be interesting, and bring us together while still being incredibly fun. If you like thorough answers to peculiar but important questions there is nothing better.

This is a great podcast, I recommend it all the time. PJ covers questions from the mundane, to the profound. His guests are funny, thoughtful, and always interesting. Love it!
