David Sedaris Episode
The Pope missed out on the chance to offer you those aviator sunglasses! That would’ve been epic.

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!

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!

Your new favorite podcast
I’ve been a fan of Mike Birbiglia for a while now, and needed a new podcast to try. Through the podcast I’ve been introduced to so many more incredible artists, authors and comedians. The shows are amazing no matter who’s on or what they talk about. It’s just a chill, insightful and of course humorous way to kill some time. The most recent show with Elizabeth Gilbert was especially insightful.

My favorite guest
Gary Gulman will always be my favorite guest! He's so real. What a great person he is! He has no idea how relatable he is.

Love Mike!
Mike is awesome! I love the he gives us an inside look of what makes jokes humorous! My favorite episodes are the ones where he and Pete Holmes roast each other!

A writer's DREAM
The best resource for anyone who enjoys going down the rabbit hole of storytelling, comedy, life, being human, philosophy, project management...really anything creative. I loved Birbigs' stand up before, and now I am devouring everything he has ever touched. I can't tell you the number of times I have paused an episode to write down a quote that either Mike or his guest have said. All in, probably one of the most influential podcasts I've ever listened to.

Always makes me smile.
Love this show! Have been a listener from the beginning and it has never failed to make me smile which in these dark and confusing days is a real blessing. Thank you, Mike. Keep up the good work.

150 and just getting started!
I just listened to episode 150 with Michael Ian Black, and here’s hoping that’s only the beginning of this insightful, hilarious, inspiring, and refreshingly gentle podcast.
I have a running note on my phone of all my favorite quotes from the show. Here’s one from Pete Holmes from Episode 53: “We’re in the dryer … we’re all tumbling around in the dark, and if you find a sock, cling onto it.”
Thank you to Mike and the whole WIO team for creating a sock in the dark dryer of life!

Rating 4003
I listen every week and every week he says go leave a review if you loved it and I think I should do that and I never do.
This week Mike said they were approaching 4000 reviews and my ego said you could be reviewer 4,000– my ego is not good to me.
But alas I am 4003 because per the usual I am late. I always take away life lessons from this show, as a comedian and someone in a pretty secure parasocial relationship with Mike and all his guests/friends, I always end up believing I was in on all the bits.
On the latest episode with Michael Ian Black
I was reminded of the importance of committing to the bit. That’s why I am going to open my very own 2am souvlaki restaurant in the suburbs of Denver and call my rename my neighborhood The Big Apple. Once my master scheme takes root in 25-75 years I will move to the real NYC and finally take the stage at the comedy cellar. This is the only way to become a comedian, and Mike birbiglias podcast taught me this -

Love love love
I’ve loved Mike Birbiglia’s comedy since I first heard him years ago on This American Life. I adore this podcast. As a closet want-to-be-stand-up-comedian I LOVE hearing the process behind the scenes and the real connection between Mike and all of his guests 🤗
