Reviews

First, I must say I very rarely write reviews. I began scrolling through some of the reviews and was happy to see an overwhelming number of positives that reflect my own sentiments, but I also came across a few that are just down right cruel. As others have said, if you don’t like Dax and Monica, don’t listen! And let’s not stoop so low as to criticize the looks of the hosts - find something more productive to do with your time. They are both beautiful people inside and out. If you’re interested in hearing interesting interviews with some comic relief, this podcast is for you! Keep going strong Dax and Monica!!!

I’ve been following you guys for 2 years now and have listened to most of the episodes by now. I love it all! The experts, the celebrities, armchair anonymous, David Farrier, Synched, Yearbook! Out of all of these, the fact checks are my fave! The friendship and love you guys share is awesome! Dax, I love your openness about addiction and vulnerability. Monica, I love your honesty about anxiety, being single, etc. I love Wobby Wob too! Keep doing what you’re doing! I’m a fan for life! My dream would be to have a story for arm chair anonymous! I’ll keep watching prompts! Lol

Hot take: if you have complaints about the show: just don’t listen to it………………. Not rocket science guys. Everyone is human. Take a breather & either listen & walk away with what you’ve learned or find something new to listen to. XOxo

Years ago, i found a tv show that i really enjoyed - being that i was a minimal tv watcher, i was tickled when my son who lived across the country called specifically to say he was really enjoying such & such show and he was sure i’d like it too. Of course, that was Parenthood. Thing is, all these years past, neither of us could remember the name of that program- we both remembered you and your character but didn’t recall your name. Then, Wa- La Ben, my son, found your podcast and pieces came together. Even tho i’m much older than your target audience, he suggested i might enjoy checking out this Armchair podcast. I do enjoy for the easy good chit-chat listening. You are very open so I’m going to give my opinion on 2 personal points and trust that you will understand i am only sharing my opinion - no judgement involved! 1.) i am delighted by your daughter Delta and your relationship with her. I can’t help but feel you slight your other daughter by not speaking of her (not that I’ve heard) and you pile it on for Delta. That’s great but in my many years of being with and working with children i can assure you this can make difference in a child’s confidence- when it is so clearly apparent that they are not the preferred child. It can often be felt more in adult years when a person becomes more reflective about their childhood and how things effected them. Obviously, my view is extremely limited. I imagine & hope you all have this figured out and all is good. 2.) I was surprised (shocked) to hear from you that your front yard is full of all different kinds of vehicles and you think a neighbor is out of line for complaining about this. WHAT?!? Who wants to drive past a used car parking lot right in their own neighborhood? In my eyes this is very inconsiderate and self-centered. If i were your neighbor, i might like you tons but i’d sure be wishing for an HOA that could handle this huge eyesore.

I’ve been a fan of Dax for a little bit now and I have to say this podcast is the best part of any morning for me. I have an hour commute to work and this podcast is a MUST play for me. I love the honesty, humor and transparency here. The guests are always dope, the interviews are always great, and even the fact checks are amazing. Def a must check out podcast for anyone 🙏🏼

My favorite parts are the fact checks! 🤖 🦆 🦆 🪿

Love this podcast. I was a stubborn one who didn’t follow over to spotify so I was excited to new episodes back! However the editing needs to be reviewed before uploading. A major quality of this podcast is the high overall quality, from the conversations to the edits.

I really enjoy the armchair expert interviews but am confused by how many other spin off episodes I have to scroll through just to find the armchair expert ones? What are these other shows??! Wish they were separate and I would listen much more. I only do when I have the energy to scroll, scroll, scroll to find previous interviews.

Big fan. Dax and Monica are easy to listen to and I look forward to new episodes. Armchair Anonymous is my fave. I wish we could delete the comments FILLED with hate. Some wounded people are just unoriginally cruel.

My friend has been talking abt the show for a while and I hadn’t gotten around to listening until she sent me the Billie Joe episode. I didn’t know a bigger BJA/Green Day existed until I heard Dax spitting random facts with pure enthusiastic fan joy and I am here for it. Great interview, great hosts.

I love AE and have been obsessed with Chad sanders since his interview. The deep dive in yearbook is a refreshing change of pace that reckons the past with the present. I love the concept and it’s execution!! More yearbook stories please!! 🙏🏽

As a listener since the beginning and a cheerleader for Dax, Monica and David, I love the content they create and the platforms they developed over the years. By being honest and vulnerable they have built up a large following of what I would assume are relatively intelligent and open minded people. I love the diversity of interviewees and topics discussed. That being said, I was disappointed that in a frank conversation regarding trans rights, Dax continued to perpetuate the bigotry surrounding that topic instead of being curious, thoughtful and well researched in his conversation, like he usually is. I’m a fan of what they built here and I hate to see it fractured and was disappointed they didn’t use their monetarily successful platform to help normalize the life for so many who find themselves in pain and ostracized from many parts of society. They can do better and I hope they’ll make this right. I’m a firm believer in reflective second chances. Flightless Bird is a joy!

I’ve been listening off and on since 2018 and I thoroughly enjoy the conversation flow. True, it can be chaotic when there’s talk over someone’s unfinished thought BUT that’s how real conversations go. I appreciate the authentic flow these interviews have. I read the negative reviews from all of the people who want Dax to fit into their box and complain that Dax doesn’t agree enough with their views - ironically accusing him of being the very person your review of the podcast describes you to be. If you only listened to one interview because the guest was your “icon” or “idol” and didn’t like the nature of the conversation, oh well, you don’t have to. Move along and choose a new podcast, there’s plenty and your idol was probably going on this one to promote their own. Overall, I enjoy the way these interviews often are unique and different than other interviews of the same guest - because that’s how Dax intended it to be when this podcast launched - to interview people from his perspective and let us be the fly on the wall listening to the conversation.

If you are going to spend all that money on the pot .. It’s LE not LA

Dax inspires me to grow as a conversationalist. The questions he asks during interviews are so thoughtful. Even when an episode is a celebrity I don’t know, I find myself still deeply enjoying it because Dax is such a compelling conversationalist.

I'm 49 and never really followed Dax but just after listening to one episode, I was hooked! I absolutely Love their honesty on all topics and their friendship truly shines through your device! Thank you for sharing your world with us!

I wish there was a new episode everyday! I have been a listener since the beginning and still look forward to each every week. I love Dax, Monica and Wobby Wob’s dynamic. Armchair Anonymous is THE BEST.

I don't know what I was waiting for because I've listened to you for years. Apparently I was waiting for Jon Batiste to inspire this review. Near the beginning of the episode with Jon, he so elegantly and effortlessly complimented your podcast - creative, vision, makes space for a certain type of conversation, builds community, accessible, heart, organic. He said it all in a way that I could not put together myself. He is a class act. And you guys deserve the praise. ❤️

This is my favorite podcast and has been for so many years. I love the deep conversations amongst Dax, Monica and the guests. I have been introduced to so many people and topics that I otherwise wouldn’t have looked into. I am getting frustrated listening to Monica spew her political views, she is unable to even remotely try to understand someone who isn’t like her. At least Dax is willing to entertain other ideas. As someone who leans more conservative, I love shows like this because it widens my point of view. Monica needs to consider we probably have more in common than not and it’s not one team against the other, it’s all of us against problems. People like her are the reason there is such a divide.

I am constantly looking for a new podcast to love.....I found it! I’m obsessed.....You have a new fan.... so far my favs are Jason Bateman (obvs), January Jones, Claire Danes, Will Ferrell (died laughing), Oliver and Kate (who doesn’t love them)... and of course I just love love love Jax and Monica!!!!!!! Both so well spoken and emotionally smart. I love being surprised at my own underestimation of an episode I thought might not interest me but then J

Best show ever!

I’ve been a listener since day one. I tell ANYONE AND EVERYONE about this podcast. Dax’s vulnerability makes him relatable while his intellect is right up there with any of the “experts” he has on the show. Monica adds a nice feminine touch to a show that could get too bogged down by car talk! The guests are mostly fabulous and if they’re not, Dax will find a way to make their information interesting. I can’t believe some of the stuff I’ve found compelling. I also love some of their other shows like Flightless Bird and Synced. You will NOT regret listening.

I am coming back to the podcast after a while and am loving Flightless with David, but so help me God…do something with Monica! She is truly more annoying than she has ever been and is constantly interrupting. I don’t know if I will stay but she is ruining the experience for me. As for JVN, he really used this show for sympathy and it it hasn’t been the first time. Look it up. I stand with Dax!
