Not all Christians are Catholic
I really enjoy this show, but on the latest episode with Pete, Mike is kind of confused. He keeps saying Christians use rosary beads, but only Catholics do. Also, when he is talking about Christian theology he is actually talking about Catholic church doctrine. There are MANY versions of Christianity or any religion. Catholicism has its own interpretation of every Christian concept.
For the love of Nathan
I’ve always enjoyed Mike Birbiglia’s work on stage/screen, and I’ve regularly “liked” clips of the podcast on TikTok and Instagram, but Nathan Lane sold me on subscribing and listening. I listened on a recent flight and had to suppress chuckles and teary eyes. What a gem of an episode.
Nathan Lane
I’ve been listening for a few weeks and love the show, BUT Nathan Lane was brilliant!! Terrific podcast—I highly recommend it.
Working It Out with Nathan Lane
Beautiful and hilarious episode with Mike and Nathan Lane- one of my favorite Working It Out shows yet! Nathan is so humble and sweet and the talent these two bring is incredible. They should make a film together!
You’re So kind
I just listened to the Elyse Myers podcast and want to comment on how very kind and nurturing you were to her. It warmed my heart to listen as you poured affirmations into her and provided possible guardrails to encourage her to purse live storytelling in a way that could give her comfort. 💚💚
Love it
Easy listening, funny, interesting, great guests. Comforting show.
Love this podcast!!
This podcast is a lifeboat in a sea of bad political news. It’s so nice to listen to Mike interviewing different comedians about their process and back story of becoming a professional comedian. I find myself laughing throughout - sometimes this leads me to search the comedian in order to hear more of their work. I also love “working it out for a cause” and their effort to give back to the community.
The creative process of Comedy and communication!
This podcast is a revelation- The creative process of Comedy and communication explained , no revealed one joke and one insight at a time.
FYI-wrong photo for Matthew Rogers
Just noticed, looks like you put the photo for Matthew Rogers the country singer instead of Matthew Rogers the comedian/actor/singer. Oops -Big Fan in Sacramento, CA
Uplifting Good Vibes
In this day and age, finding positivity can be a challenge, but Mike Birbiglia’s “Working It Out” is so refreshing, uplifting, inspiring, instructive, and fun to listen to. Mike’s authenticity and his kindness makes my time spent listening to his interviews feel like a safe space, and then he ends every show by donating to a charity - like, what?!?! Yes, this is a slice of wonderfulness in this crazy and fast paced world we live in! Thanks, Mike Birbiglia!!
Some of the best conversation out there
Mike has a way with talking to people that is easy to stay attached and not get bored with.
Working It Out - While I Work
I don’t know if you read these review Mike, but because of this podcast it has introduced me to your comedy (I got here through Pete Holmes) and I am a fan. Hope to see you live in the future next time you pass through the Midwest. This podcast is fun, funny, and gives insight to creative comedic processes and material. I love to listen to this podcast when I work from home or am driving (which is daily). Thank you, Mike for this gift! Glad that you are here on this earth. Peace to all.
My top podcast !!

Maria Bamford
“Sure, I’ll join your cult” audiobook is read by Maria herself. Treat yourself!
David Sedaris Episode
The Pope missed out on the chance to offer you those aviator sunglasses! That would’ve been epic.
Love It
Love this podcast, it is honest, fun and relaxing to listen to after a day at work
Pandemic baby all grown up. But it’s true.
Like most listeners, I started out with episodes with some of my favorite people. But it just grows and grows on you. Some faves: Aubrey Plaza. Elizabeth Gilbert. Seth Myers. Bridget Everett. Jim Gaffigan. Malcom Gladwell … I could go on and on. I’ve listened to several episodes more than once. Every single episode is so rich, and contains gems that are worth carrying with you. Most longed for guest: Mark Duplass. Serious request…. More authors sprinkled in. Highest praise: The quality of my days …. Every day …. is better because of this podcast. I hate that I come across here like such a fanboy. But it’s true.
Top Five
Loved the top five Xmas movie episode with Pete Holmes. I was hoping Mike would say “you will be visited by 3 curse words” in the intro, but otherwise flawless. Definitely in my top 5 favorite pods!
Fortune
Fortune’s always fun to listen to and a great special
Thank you Pete Holmes
Big shoutout to, Pete Holmes, for introducing me to this podcast. His selflessness, in promoting a podcast that is so much more engaging and entertaining than his own, is truly inspiring.
Every Episode Is Worth A Listen
I was so happy when Mike started this podcast back in 2020. It kept me laughing and inspired as a creative person through that time, and it is my go-to to this day. Every episode is worth a listen. So appreciative. Thanks!
Maria Bamford!
Thank you for Maria Bamford episode - excellent!
