Judge John Hodgman

I started listening to the Judge John Hodgman podcast a decade ago. My late husband - who was a whole human being in his own right - and I were newlyweds then. We would wait eagerly every week for the new episodes to drop so we could listen to it together. Now our ten year old daughter listens to it with me. I am so grateful for the many years of laughs and memories I have shared with the people I love.

I’ve been listening to Judge John Hodgman for years now and it never disappoints. It is a quirky mix of comedy and wisdom that I often find touching. It’s a show about how we are all just doing the best we can while living our weird lives. I even find myself repeating John Hodgman adages to my kids from time to time (we like what we like, for example). John Hodgman gives spot on advice and Jesse Thorn makes the best side kick. I took my kids to see the show live and it was even better. I’m a forever listener. I recommend it to everyone I know. It’s a great balm in times like these. Now if I can just think of a good dispute to get me on the show…

Great podcast. Timeless dry humor from two of our best! Thank you John and Jesse.

I have listened to JJH longer than any other podcast. Other podcasts have come and gone, but I continue to look forward to each JJH episode after all these years. I’m finally taking the time to write a review because, as we’re slowly realizing that we are in the darkest timeline, shows like JJH are more important than ever to distract us from… *gestures wildly at everything* If you’re looking for something light, funny, and often heartwarming, then give JJH a listen. You won’t regret it. My husband and I love to discuss each episode after and debate whether we agree with the ruling or not. We hope to continue this tradition with our future children and make this our designated family podcast. Thank you to everyone involved in JJH for creating such a delightful show week after week, year after year.
