Listener Reviews

This is my go-to!! I love the guests on but of course some of my faves are the anonymous episodes!! Could listen to those for hours! Haha

Great interview with Lizzo. Learned so much about her, so impressive❤️. Monica, write that Steve email!😉

Great episode. Dave is always so charming.

I have been listening for a few years now and am really loving the book finds you bring up in this pod. The latest I truly devoured was Broken Plea. Please please keep them coming! Love you both!

SUCH a great episode. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Everyone should read this book. Second Estate by Ray Madoff

I started to listen to this pod originally for the Anonymous Armchair episodes as a relief from all the heavy things going on in the world. But now I’m also listening to the interviews and am so impressed with Dax’s preparedness. Keep on shining!

A absolute all around podcast

Love the Gal Gadot episode. Such a great interview!

Can’t stop listening to it

Great podcast, feels like home. All of the guests have been great. Especially loved Gal Gadot.

Dax is an intelligent, well-prepared, and engaging interviewer. Therer is NO need for a "co-host," particularly one who adds nothing to the discourse. Monica Padman is limited to "Yeah," "Wow,", "Exactly," and "Oh my god." I get it when a podcast like Smartless has three guys, because, none of those three are polished interviewers. Shepard, however, IS and including Padman in the interview only detracts from the quality. If Dax feels obligated to keep Monica on board, the logical way to do this is limit her to producing or to the fact check. She is an interview killer.

Dax and Monica are so great! I love their interviews, empathy and banter with each other!! Wonderful podcast!

I love both Dax and Monica - these episodes unfailingly make me laugh- and think differently- 6/5 stars, FULL STOP NEVER CHANGE

Love that Dax is honest and does not care what people think of him. It's refreshing to listen to a podcast that doesn't seem scripted. Just good conversations. Thanks Dax!

this makes me really yippee happy i stay up until like 3am listening to it on the daily....very joyous and whimsy

Me and my mom are obsessed with armchair anonymous and love both Dax and Monica!! Y’all are the best!😁😁

This podcast is the best. Been listening for years and years and years. D + M, if you’re listening, thanks for being you!

I drive a lot each day to and from work. Thank God for this podcast! I love spending 3 days a week with Dax and Monica. I’m not a political person and I’m glad they keep the topics and discussions political free. I may not always agree with what is said but that the greatest thing about this planet that we all have different opinions. Thank you for keeping me company. Keep up the great content!

Maybe the best episode? Hard to say, but I am crying tears of joy/being touched.

My husband and I LOVE listening to all the ANONYMOUS episodes on our drive the Bethany Beach every weekend! We love you guys! And we have tons of stories, I just need to sit down and write a good pitch! (No butt stuff, tho)

Oh MY GOSH , listening to Armchair Expert has been so fun . I find Dex to be so interesting and takes real interest while asking questions I would want to ask the guests . Monica is sweet and endearing ( little naïve , but refreshing in all the best ways ) these two really complement each other & have a good time . I love this podcast & You will too

I never knew a lot about Hunter Biden beyond the headlines. What a meaningful episode for thousands of people to hear his story authentically. Thank you for doing this interview and for having difficult conversations.

I just want to hug him. Thank you for letting him show the ugly & still shine through. Excellent interview.

I really learned a lot about parenthood this Darby Saxbe episode. Actually I learn from EVERY episode. I’m always saying, “I heard about it on a podcast.” I feel like Monica when I’m not included with my friend group or invited to things with them, but I should really feel more like Dax. As I get older (53), I do have times when I’m like who cares? But I’m not included with friends, I feel sad, but I am growing! Thank you
