I listen to every show and always love the interviews, interactions and learning! Chuck… always a favorite… Mike, always entertaining! Thanks for what you do!

Often seen as just The Dirty Jobs Guy or just a narrator, Mike Rowe brings a lot of intellectual depth to the conversation.

Mike / Chuck, Are you familiar with Tom Rush? Look up, “Shooting Coyotes”. Well, PC is out the window but it could be a solution…

Great show, entertaining and informative! Keep doing the mysteries.

I help make custom furniture and enjoy listening to this podcast while I’m working. The variety of guests is great. Watched a lot of Dirty Jobs over the years. I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to Mike and Chuck for this podcast. Also, Chuck…I know you’re being constantly threatened with your job. If you want to make furniture…we are hiring! You’ll love it in K.C. Take care gentlemen, and thank you again!

Please please please no more singing.

Good to hear a like-minded guy ,same age, religion who sees the world in a similar light. I now drink better milk and have a better diet thanks to this Pod cast, fair life, Vinnie tortorich and the list goes on !!

I just found Mike Rowes podcast and I LOVE IT! I spend a lot of time on the road and his podcast make me laugh, think, and go huh, didn’t know that. Time flies by and sometimes when I get to my destination I’m disappointed I have to stop listening. Keep ‘em coming Mike. Plus the jingles are great too!

Laughs and his gift of storytelling reminds me of listening to my Mom tell stories with an eye roll at tge end if it was about Dad. You come away feeling like he's your friend and I look forward to the next episode!

I have been so impressed with the in depth discussions that Mike has with his guests. Thoughtful, insightful, and downright funny. Mike seems to get to the meat of some of the most important questions of our time. in particular, episode 305 has one of the most cogent and direct coverages of the Biden administrations Student debt transfer programs that I have heard. Mainstream coverage of this is shallow and one sided. This took the issue and beat it to a bloody pulp.

It’s nice to hear a voice of reason, especially one that can also make you laugh. Absolutely love the singing commercials!

I don’t listen to podcasts except this one!! Who in the world would leave less than 5 stars? As a owner of a CDL training school I love the candid conversations about the real problems in America. Also I like off politics conversation to take your mind off of things. I always laugh and sometimes even get teared up a little. What a great show by two amazing folks. If either of you are ever in Boise Idaho look me up at Idaho CDL training and let’s have a drink on me!

I am NOT one to rate podcasts, even though they are a part of my daily life. After listening to “The Shadow on the Wall is You,” I felt it was about time. My following of Mike Rowe goes back to watching “Dirty Jobs” with my kids as they grew up and evolved into watching shows that he narrated as well. I have also embraced his message of the need for people willing to work hard and get dirty in the workforce. I am a high school educator and have long believed that a 4 year degree is not a perfect fit for everyone - my own son for sure! As the podcast evolved from short stories into the longer episodes involving conversations with various guests, it took a while for me to adjust, but I really enjoyed the casual nature of the conversations. Now, I am thankful for the variety of individuals that are guests and have found myself actually making changes in my own life. Change #1 came about after Mike talked to Vinnie Tortorich about NSNG. I am a proud “Rowebie” in the NSNG lifestyle and am forever thankful for the introduction to a much-needed change in my life. Change #2 is my renewed hope in “We the People” - the idea discussed between Mike and Todd Rose. I have since read “Collective Illusions” and am not nearly as disheartened in the state of our nation as I once was. Change #3 is not necessarily personal, but I found Mike’s recent conversation with Scott Strode inspiring and hope that the work of “The Phoenix” continues its work to help those with addictions. I don’t have time to read a lot of self-help books, but this podcast has brought much needed insight into my life using common sense and humor.

Our entire family enjoys this podcast. My husband is third generation of our family transmission business, and we appreciate the support of the trades!

Truly life changing and an answer to prayer- So much good Mike and The Phoenix are doing , Thank you- Thank you Thank you- Jeannie

Mike, Your podcast is my third favorite thing to listen to on my iPhone. You come behind conversations with my wife and listening to the YouVersion Bible app read the Bible to me. But that’s not too bad. You even beat out Dave Ramsey by a little bit. Thanks for the show. Jeff

Favorite podcast-Mike is the best. We look forward to each new episode!

Simply one of best podcasts around, common sense, humor and just a great way to spend some time. Thanks Mike and Chuck for injecting some humor and sense into a humorless and vile world

I listen to a lot of pod casts and this is the first time for me writing a review. I have had great intentions to write reviews for others, but I love what Mike Rowe is doing with this podcast. Of course he is very talented and entertaining, but the show is doing something meaningful and, might I say, powerful. He talks to people who are actually doing things to build and repair this great nation. I leave inspired and optimistic which is more than I can say for shows that just gripe about how political opponents are destroying the country.

Every episode I hear is not only entertaining, but they just make perfect sense. I wish we could convince Mike Rowe to run for office, but I’m sure he’s way too smart for that.

There are those that are known for great storytelling, but I believe Mike Rowe does a great job of story listening. I find the guests and host and producer extremely entertaining. I sent the link to giving children, knives and fire to my adult son and I’m sure he will be coming to avid story listener as well. Keep it up.

I was listening while out walking and laughing hysterically! Love these!!!

Mike has a wonderful interview style. His guests have been interesting and fun to get to know. Update: I just watched an interview with Johnny Carson and Jackie Gleason. It reminded me so much of Mike’s interviewing style. Easy going, but you really get to know the guest.

I love listening to Mike and Chuck and whoever their guests is that particular week!!! Never disappoints and is always filled with some insight. Look forward to each new episode! And for the premier of Singapore Justice!!!

Many different topics and guest. The honesty about the sponsors and the need for them is refreshing and funny. First time listeners, start with Megyn Kelly and the Irish Goodbye. Keep us informed and entertained Mike. Chuck, try to keep him on the air. Herding cats and all that…

Listening to this podcast 1 1/2 after is so relevant. It’s my thoughts exactly, it’s a scary world out their especially for our kids and grandkids. No one can change my mind on those issues, but media snd current government molding new little soldiers. Language is important, by changing definition we change the perception. Thank you again you are both a gift for our broken society.

Mike: the Worlds Fastest Indian [motorcycle] is a must see movie based upon true events. A violin typically becomes a fiddle when restrung with metal strings and played in a folk or country or western band, etc.

I’ve listened to the show for years. It’s always entertaining.

Thanks for a great listen!

Love this podcast, and Mike and Chuck are a great team. Highlights for me include chats with Mike’s Mom and nonprofit “do-gooders” features like Chad Houser from Cafe Momentum. This content is a refreshing respite from hard news and commentary pods that can be disheartening in large doses.
