The easiest listen
Mike is not only insanely brilliant and vulnerable and kind, he’s also SUCH A GOOD LISTENER. My favorite thing about this podcast is that super smart and funny people are allowed to get complete thoughts out without being interrupted for the sake of a bit. I love comedy, and love comedians… but that level of patient silence is so hard to find. I’d love to recommend a favorite ep, but I sincerely love so many that it would be hard to name one. Just look through the archives, find a name you’re drawn to and hit play. You’ll love it.

Loving Working it Out
I love your podcast, Mike! My husband introduced me to it and now I cannot get enough. Josh Johnson episode made me laugh out loud-he’s terrific and no doubt is on his way to GOAT!! Gonna go listen to Adam and Ben now. Keep up the great work🩷

Questlove's Episode-My Favorite!
Mike Birbiglia and his podcast creates space for engaging stories and insight-fullness. Questlove's episode has touched me in very deep ways. Thank you, Mike Birbiglia and Questlove! This episode has offered me lots of tools to help me be a more authentic version of myself in everyday life. Perfect timing! Thank you! Up until today, I couldn't decide on a favorite episode, but now I've found it! -Big Fan in Sacramento, CA

Well done!

Great show
Always love the comics and other guests. Saw Mike do Sleepwalk With Me when I was a film student years ago, have been a fan ever since.

Mike, You're Such a Joy!
This is my new favorite podcast to listen to when I'm looking to relax and have a few laughs. Mike's comedy is lighthearted and playful yet deeply meaningful. The episode(s) with Tig Notaro are my favorite. I wish I could be besties with these delightful humans. Thank you Mike, for sharing your special joy with the world! ❤️

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.

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 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.

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!!

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.
