    So glad I came across this! I love listening to it while working out or driving. The conversations are so fun, but also encouraging with snippets of Christ throughout.

    She is the best!!!
    Thank you Annie for being the perfect podcast I listen to on my way to work. I know someone who is going to see you in Denver, CO for MOMCON. I wish I could go. I love that you have three cities you have 3 cities you go back and worth too. I can not wait for your book to come out and for 2025 plans. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

    Annie is your new best friend!!
    I love listening to Annie! She is so real and is honest about her heartaches. So much so, that it feels like you are chatting with a dear friend. I listen to this show in order to get some positive input in a very negative world.

    Uplifting and helpful!
    I’m newish to your podcast and love Charles Martin books so had to listen to his most recent interview with you. Wow! Had no idea how he was “chosen” and inspired to write this series. I was in my car and literally said woah out loud! Chills. Thank you!

    I’ve enjoyed this series as a helpful conversation around developing deeper understanding of those around me in relationships. And to better understand myself in them as well is such a gift ❤️

    Seriously fun
    Annie talks to her friends and friends of friends, etc, all fascinating people who dole out the wisdom that the Lord gives them without limit, and brings all of her Enneagram 7-ness to us making for episode after episode of good fun. I started with Episode 1 and am in the mid 150s. Somewhere in there you buried me Ms. Downs since you’ve now got more than 700 episodes. If that was your plan, it worked :-)

    Good guests, solid thinking

    My favorite podcast ❤️
    I discovered Annie in 2019 during a summer enneagram series, and I’ve never looked back! I look forward to her podcasts each week. I love hearing her interview artists, celebrities, theologians, authors, etc. Listening to her interviews feels like listening to a friend talk, and I love how she’s authentically herself! My life has been changed because of this show, specifically because of episodes 304 and 464!

    This is a never miss show for me
    I found Annie when my middle child was an infant and I feel like I “met” Annie and she was immediately staying up keeping us company through the night! 🤣 Annie’s (and several on the TSF network) are never miss shows for me. Thanks for the fun, laughter, and meaningful faith conversation. Your show helps keep the right things front of mind!

    Big AFD fan!
    I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2019. Annie is fun and thoughtful as she interviews her guests. Each week I’m encouraged by her questions and her guests responses. She’s always pointing me towards Jesus. I’d highly recommend this show!
  • Spolch14
    Big Fan!
    I have been listening to “That Sounds Fun” for years, and will continue to listen as long as Annie and her crew are able to produce it! I’ve been lead to so many resources that have expanded my thoughts and beliefs, while always being pointed back to the truth of Jesus. Thankful that she is willing to host a wide variety of people, as it makes me a better human to learn from other humans!

    Like drinking a cup of chai with friends!
    This is my very favorite podcast. I listen to it each day it’s released and I quote it often. I learn so much and am so thankful for being able to listen to Annie F Downs ask tough or thought provoking questions. Love this!

    The Best
    Tuning into That Sounds Fun is a highlight of my week. I love that Annie talks about real life with her guests. She’s so relatable and honest. Hanging out with Annie F Downes and her friends is also a good use of my time.
  • Sarai_P
    Amazing!
    This podcast has been so helpful in my new walk with God. It’s an easier way to get to connect with Him through authors, artists, and whomever else Annie has on. So funny, yet also I walk away learning something new about myself and how to be a better human. Annie knows how to make you feel like it’s a casual conversation with friends over coffee, and that you’ve known her all along. Love this!

    My first podcast
    TSF was the first podcast I ever got into. I LOVED it! I listened to every episode as it came out and back listened to one’s before my time. Lately, it does feel like the show is just a commercial for people’s books. Episode after episode seems to just be about someone coming on and promoting their book. My favorite episodes are when topics are discussed without trying to sell us something. The Indigenous Peoples episodes, the singleness episode, the fasting episode, Mike Kelsey’s episodes are the ones I’ve loved lately. I still give it 5 stars bc the quality is great and I hope for TSF to get back to meaningful conversations, not just promotional opportunities.

    If I could only listen to one podcast for the rest of my life…
    Not to be dramatic but Annie F Downs' "That Sounds Fun" podcast is life changing. Annie is so relatable. She is authentic and humble and hilarious. I feel like I am her friend and that we are learning and doing life TOGETHER. She cultivates engaging content and stewards her platform with grace and excellence. I cannot say enough good things about her and this podcast!

    Fun and Fatih
    I started listening to TSF back in 2018 as a recommendation from a friend. I had also gone to a women’s conference with Rebekah Lyons. I immediately fell in love! I appreciate her honesty and her passion. I also love the guests that she has on, her friends. Annie is truly a passionate Jesus follower who is real and fails, but has accepts grace and shows grace. She works hard to include everyone! Thank you for strengthening my faith and understanding of the Gospel.

  • socalgalatheart
    Thank you Annie
    I’m a bit behind in posting my review from your Matt Maher episode! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, especially since I’m a Catholic. But what I mostly wanted to address was the part of the podcast n which you both were speaking of Christmas music memories. I would like to share mine. My most cherished memories are of my , the much youngest of my family and the only daughter, attending midnight mass on Christmas Eve with my three big brothers along with my dad. My favorite scents was the blending of my brothers and dad’s cologne with frankincense at mass. The musical highlights was singing Adeste Fideles in Latin and the closing hymn Joy to the World!! I count those nights as my most beloved memories!!! Thank you for your podcast and this episode!
