2025-01-13 14:25:44 +0000 UTCAirplane! was my first ever episode. I was about to go out running and was like, "What am I going to listen to?" The podcast title caught my attention and I experienced "AJ's Horse Corner" later that day.

2025-01-07 16:47:19 +0000 UTCI look forward to this every year. Maybe one year I'll be brave enough to leave a voice message.

2025-01-03 19:04:48 +0000 UTCI called in when I was exhausted and in a haze (buying a house, moving, post surgical recovery, first Christmas without parents, new meds, chronic pain, I could go on, it's been a lot) and don't 100% remember what I said, but hearing it back I stand by it all. I also want to add that youse have been a big part of helping me deconstruct the Evangelical framework I was raised in, so thank you for helping me become the transgender communist pagan my parents warned me about ♡ Cheers, and happy new year.

2024-12-26 18:19:24 +0000 UTCI couldn’t think of anything to vocalize that hasn’t been said so well by the others. One thing I’ll say forever now is “chocolate bhaaaaaaar” 🍫 When I commented “Cronk Tuah” on the God’s Not Dead 2 preview I still was not prepared. 😆 And for real, y’all have inspired me to enjoy and participate in the artistic things I want to be part of. Thanks for the bright spot in my work days.

2024-12-26 07:48:50 +0000 UTCOkay. I’ve been listening to the phone-in podcast. I was raised Catholic by very liberal open minded parents. I’m a Taoist now and I’m new to WOPW. But even though I’m a Taoist, A.J., I think you should become a Southern Baptist. I lived in Texas for five years and they’re fun! And even though I’m a gay man with a non observant Jewish husband I think the three of us should become SBs, not to actually practice the religion but just for shits and giggles. My husband isn’t into PDAs but I could kiss you during Sunday service. I think they’d love it. Happy worst of all possible 2025s.

2024-12-26 03:17:56 +0000 UTCFound y'all early this year bc I was searching for some old, old nostalgic comfort and found your episode on Down Gilead Lane. Subscribed on Patreon soon after. Y'all are so thoughtful and entertaining.

2024-12-25 22:45:47 +0000 UTCI didn't send a voicemail bc I didn't think I'd have anything to contribute that wasn't already being said. But I do want to thank y'all again and again for bringing us this show and I'm in the middle of catching up on back episodes so I'll definitely have something to say next year.

2024-12-25 21:01:03 +0000 UTCListening to the episode, didn't have a means of sending in a voice note (for someone my age my tech illiteracy is honestly embarrassing) but wanted to say that when I started listening to this podcast because of the Cities Skylines episode, I didn't think it would become such a solid thing to look forward to every week. Without fail, the three of you (and the occasional amazing guest) manage to make me get to the point of having tears in my eyes with laughter. That is when you don't just get tears in my eye from other emotions, such as the "It's a Wonderful Life" episode, or AJ's message after the re-election of that prick in November. So thank you for all the content you make, bring on the future, as long as the quality stays this amazing I'll keep listening along.

2024-12-25 18:40:11 +0000 UTCWow. Mira McDonald of Minneapolis, Minnesota here! Waking up and hearing my voice at the top of the episode was very surreal and special, thanks Josh! I could have gone more into how important this show has been to me but I know I would have totally fallen apart. The Silent Hill 2 episode really hit home for me and brought a lot of grief to the surface that I needed to process. I've lost too many loved ones to violence and mental illness and it's hard to let myself be vulnerable to that grief. I've been learning how to cry again this year and this podcast has made me weep so many times. Thank you for the kind response to my email, Josh, it meant a lot to me. It would have been so easy to despair in the face of looming fascism, but I'm entirely too stubborn to give up and I honestly feel more empowered and ready to confront the future than ever. After my TBIs I did actually reassess my life and decided I wanted to go to Rabbinical School and continue the Jewish tradition of trying to build a better world to come. Less importantly I am planning to start a podcast this year and you guys have been such a creative inspiration for me! AJ, Brian, and Josh, I appreciate you boys so much! Thanks for bringing your art, critique, humor, and kindhearted joy to the world. Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and a blessed arguing season to you all. Mwah mwah 💋🩷
