After a long day of not working and exhausted š„± I found this show on my podcast feed! What an awesome collection of wit! Thanks š made my day and Iāll be back! Michelle
Like so many others, I have been a loyal WWDTM subscriber for years, but finally broke down and unsubscribed just to keep "Everyone and Their Mom" out of my feed. Please separate the two podcasts and you will get your five star rating back!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I hope it keeps airing for another 20 or so years. But please, make everyone and their mom a different subsricption
Iām sure they do this to try to get people to subscribe but I promise that itās having the exact opposite effect on some folks instead. I canāt even mark these stupid subscription only episodes as played to get them off my feed and to make the episodes I actually can listen to easier to find. Iām fixing to just stop following WWDT entirely instead of wasting time scrolling through useless bonus episodes.
Honestly, this show is the only thing that makes sense of some of the incredibly stupid things you hear or read in the news cycle these days. I hear something absurd and think, āI bet thatās going to be a question on āWait, Wait Donāt Tell Me!ā And then it is, and I feel smugly smarter.
Love this show!
wait wait donāt tell me makes me in a better mood already once I start listening. everyone is so funny and they talk about current/not boring issues and topics.
this is really weird but it kinda helps me fall asleep.
not like itās boring but it just calms me down and makes me laugh after a stressful day.
10/10 LOVEEEEEEEEE
Iāve listened to & enjoyed Wait, Wait with my family for years. Now, theyāve become so over-aggressive in pushing their subscription service that I canāt find an actual episode without sorting through all the faux episodes for subscribers only. I think Iāll unfollow. I donāt need the annoyance.
Love WWDTM it is funny and timely! I am tired of having to mark everyone and ā¦.. as played! It just does not hold my attention and I cringe when I see it show up in my podcasts app/notifications. It is an unnecessary step to mark it as played. I am sure there is a great audience for that show but not for me.
But you need to get Paul and Sasha from "Community News with Paul and Sasha" on WWDTM. They are a perfect fit for your show and should be regular guests. They're so smart and so funny! Please, please book them!
please take everyone and their mother off of this subscription! I HATE that it shows up in my feed with no way to remove it. has nothing to do with wwdtm and itāsā¦awfully mediocre
Iāve been a WWDTM listener for decades. Trying to stay one. Harder and harder with the introduction of a terrible spin-off (Everyone blah blah blah) and the attempt to monetize WWDTM. Have you guys actually stopped caring about your listeners?
I have loved WWDTM for years, and I will always a listen. But I must tell you, the āEveryoneā episodes arenāt great. And I also dislike the shows that are re-runs of NMJ. Its a podcast. You canāt do re-runs on a podcast. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
I love the show, I have for years. I listen exclusively to the podcast. I donāt want all the ābonusā material cluttering up my stream. I donāt need the new show. I donāt want the bonus discussions. I just want the Wait-Wait podcast. Please return us to sanity.
Love the show and Tom Papa but he made a joke on most recent show that did not make sense ⦠said he has the āadvantage of living in LA and being 3 hours ahead of his family on the East Coast āā¦whaaaa?
This show makes me happy even when the subjects in the news are upsetting. Everyone is entertaining but Maeve Higgins is my queen! Canāt get enough of her. Had the pleasure of meeting Peter after a show and he was personable and kind. Thank you all for producing a show I look forward to every weekend.
Loved the game show but confused and annoyed by the added episodes that are completely different than the original show. For now Iām going to unfollow. Thanks for the many good years though.
You officially have my notice to stop putting āeveryoneā in my downloads before I cancel completely. Wait Wait gets 5 stars. Everyone gets 1. Hereās your 3. The law of averages.
I love Wait Wait and listen every week, either live while driving between errands or over podcast while walking the dog. The main reason I donate to NPR.
Does anyone really like this show? Itās been running for ages and anytime Iāve ever had the displeasure of tuning itās got the worst dad jokes and the dumbest trivia. If anyone find this funny or entertaining Iād be truly amazed because itās pure torture to listen to.
You get rid of this awful weekly short you've started. If I wanted to listen to an entirely different podcast, I would subscribe to it. I just want to hear the show Iām here for.
Other than that. I love Wait Wait Donāt Tell Me.
Wait wait is always a funny show, a nice twist on the news, and itās fun to talk to people in different professions and interview them with a funny twist. I genuinely enjoy it. I listen to them all!
Emma cho is not funny. I think she does try, but itās just not entertaining. She makes jokes but they simply are not funny, and her interviews are dominated by her bad jokes. Sheās clearly a hard person to work of off, and even if the interviewee is funny, its hard to listen to. I think the cast seems to like her, but sheās alienating the casts fans. I suggest getting rid of her podcast and her making less appearances on bonus episodes.
Wow, why donāt you spin off this new episode into its own podcast feed. That way I can unsubscribe.
Ugh 15 minutes I canāt get back.
10/12/2022: I see Iām not the only one that would rather not have EA in their feed. You should listen to your customers!
For every episode hosted by Emma Choi Iām reporting it to Apple before deleting the episode. I subscribed to Wait Wait Donāt Tell Me, which is supposed to make me laugh, not annoy me. Right now hoping that Maeve Higgins is one of the panelists is the only thing keeping me subscribed. Now there are episodes I canāt listen to without paying or mark as played without playing also clogging the feed. Way to ruin a good thing!
Can you please, pretty please, move the āEveryone &ā episodes out from under the āWait Waitā umbrella? Clever marketing idea, but itās a disappointment to see the Wait Wait image in my downloads only to read itās an Everyone episode.
Long time listener and die hard fan of wait wait..but really canāt stand that the āeverything andā podcasts are mixed in (to the point I almost want to unsubscribe entirely). They are clearly very different shows. Please allow listeners to subscribe accordingly.
Still love the show, but theyāve cluttered the feed with a second show that is not worth the time, and now there are subscription episodes you canāt mark as played. Makes it a pain to navigate.
LOVE WWDTM but as much as I tried, I cannot deal with EATM. Please separate these shows. I get so excited when I see an unplayed episode on my feed and am equally if not more disappointed and annoyed when itās an EATM episode.
The āeveryone &ā content is not for me. Please stop forcing it on me; I beg you. Wait Wait was PERFECT until this extra nonsense jumped into my feed.
Wait Wait (the hour weekly show) is great:
solid 5 stars
They started adding 4 or 5 of these lame filler shows to the podcast; they all not good:
1 star
5 filler shows x 1 star = 5 (shows)(star)
Wait Wait show x 5 stars = 5 (shows)(star)
Podcast show rating Average:
10 (shows)(star) / 6 (shows) = 1.67 stars
Wait Wait: Why ruin Wait Wait podcast rating with these low quality shows?
Came to echo the others - please separate out the Everyone content. Itās not good (my opinion only), and for subscribers who have been listening for many years itās irritating to be auto subscribed to her content. Just do an ad instead!
Iāve listened to WWDTM for over two decades, first on the radio and now the podcast. Its a great show and delivers exactly what it promisesā news with a twist. Itās really aggravating to have a second show in the same feed. Everyone and . . . is deserving of its own feed. When Iām driving and in the mood for some Peter and crew, then another E& comes on, I have to pull over to get my player back in the show I want. Please, please, please separate them.
Love the show- been listening for years. Only gave 4 stars because of the forced Emma content. Unfortunately I canāt put the podcast on āplay next episodeā anymore because of the Emma-led content that is on there. She might be a fantastic behind the scenes producer but she is not a good interviewer or entertainer.
I LOVE Maeve. And Bill Curtis! There couldnāt have been a better person to inherit the role.
Update: months later, EATM is still being forced on us. Why? Ad revenue?
WWDTM is one of my all-time fave shows. PLEASE break out the Wednesday show. Itās not cute anymore to keep it it in the WW feed.
