Hosts are delightful to listen to, and they are truly masterful journalists.

Makes good projects but gives up on them. I’m done getting invested. Aubrey I only blame Michael

Both Aubrey and Michael are a joy and really smart and insightful and fun

I loved the show so much at first but it’s all just bonus content now. The title still says “updated biweekly” but there’s rarely a non-bonus episode every 3 months at this point. And it’s crazy because they used to be so understanding about not forcing people to pay for content. I understand that lives and commitments change, but I think the parameters and expectations of the show should be adjusted to be more honest with listeners.

I love this show and the hosts. They are so good at fact-checking and explaining complicated concepts. I just have one issue— they need to explain the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The fact that they never distinguish the two lowers their credibility. How do you host a health show and never think to say type 2 diabetes? They are very different diseases.

Very interesting and I enjoy listening to their banter. More frequent episodes would make it better, it’s disappointing when everything is subscribers only. I can’t always afford to subscribe to everything.

...straight to the Unsubscribe zone.

I wanted to like this show, but it’s stunning how skewed and misleading so much of their coverage is. Any good critique NEEDS to be rooted in the facts, and while my leftist leanings might suggest I’d be into this show, my desire to actually learn about the facts instead of weird misinterpretations of science and bad-faith claims about other people’s motives has totally turned me off from it. Would not recommend.

I just thought of you two when watching Bob Harper struggling to run up a hill on the Traitors because thin doesn’t always equal healthy.

And informative

Debunking blue zones? Trying to justify your own unhealthy lifestyle? Did the blue zones guy make money on it? Who cares! The world‘s a better place with people trying to get healthier. You sound like Fox News trying to dig into something that’s actually good to find every little nook and cranny about it That might be bad. won’t be listening to this show anymore.

I enjoy this show but the way you guys treat/analyze data and studies sounds exactly like people like RFK jr, Joe Rogan, etc. Lots of cherry picking, generalizing and odd interpretations.

I have been listening to this since the beginning and I can’t get enough. I love the dynamic of Aubrey and Michael. I’ve learned so much and I share this with everyone I know. I appreciate all your hard work and laughter. Thank you.

straw man "take downs" of conservative talking points intellectually equivalent to joe rogan if youre looking for facts, humor or nuanced discussion, look elsewhere

Like other reviewers, it’s been months sense an episode has come out that viewers don’t have to pay extra for and who has money to burn right now (and if you do, please donate those in need). Still I will give 5/5, because the reason everyone is sad or upset is because side this was such a great, informative, fact-based podcast that we all looked forward to. Like If Books Could Kill (also miss this), the only reason to not give 5 stars if because of the lack of consistency and pivot to pay per view during a time of high financial distress and rampant diet culture/disordered eating/eating disorder prevalence. Yes, it’d be great if this was still weekly or biweekly and assessable to working class people, but they never promised they would be. If you are new, you have tons of fantastic free episodes to listen to that hold up to this day. For new listeners: 5:5–follow and subscribe

Love these two. Love this podcast. This show teaches me so much and brings me tremendous joy. Mike and Aubrey are the perfect podcaster duo. Thank you for making this show!!!

This used to be one of my favorite podcasts even though Aubrey is super annoying most of the time but without any warning this podcast suddenly became for subscribers only and they only put out a REGULAR episode MAYBE once a month?! They were barely putting out episodes before when it was for everyone and I was always patiently waiting for the next one to come out but now you want me to pay for very little content? They could have at least told us at some point that they were changing things. Every time it shows up in the feed that there is a new episode I’m immediately let down because after waiting such a long time for another episode I am smacked in the face with the words “subscribers only” Lame!! **Shocking - another month for subscribers only. And you still have yet to ever address this with the audience.

Aubrey and Mike are thorough and honest. Their research and transparency help me on my hard recovery days with so much disinformation out there… especially around health and weight biases. Now everywhere I look orthorexia (clean eating) seems to be promoted. Thank you for giving me back my sanity through your podcast.

Long time fan of both hosts for their respective works in writing and podcasts, show is always entertaining and informative without feeling condescending and I always leave with a more nuanced perspective of whatever the topic is. I selfishly hope Micheal’s health improves for more regular episodes but also we do not live to produce content and to rush someone’s healing is antithetical to health. So take your time and I look forward to whenever new episodes drop!

Consistently good content since the beginning. Quality over quantity — the wait is worth it. I’ve seen too many pods end up producing garbage just to stick to a schedule, but not this one.

Could not love this show more. Mike and Aubrey are amazing.

This podcast literally changed the way I view my body, and healed my relationship with food. It widened my mindset in so many ways, as well as led me to You’re Wrong About which further made me thing more complexly about the world. My only complaint is that they don’t post more! But I understand the lovely hosts do so much research they need time between episodes.

I’m a subscriber so I get the bonus episodes when they come out and I respect their need for a break, but selfishly I miss the regular episodes so much. I love Aubrey and Michael, their humor and the show as a whole. Once you get through this busy season, please bring back regular episodes.

I do enjoy this podcast but you really have to take ao much of what they say with a grain of salt… not everything they discuss is scientificly accurate. And seems like info is cherry picked to fit their (sometimes inaccurate) narrative, even if I overall agree with the point they are TRYING to make.

Honestly my favorite podcast.

You guys got me through the worst year of my life so far. I love laughing at stupid grifters with you!

They’ve stopped doing regular episodes so basically their content is going to be behind a paywall from now on. So typical of where podcasting is headed UPDATE: this show is barely recognizable. Everything Mike touches could turn to gold, but it turns into leftist political commentary. Why can’t any of his shows stay true to the original premise of the show? I’m a leftist myself but I’m tired of hearing about politics. Just do health and wellness please UPDATE: this podcast is so lazy now

When Aubrey laughs, I laugh. Please don’t stop making this show.

They should change the name & category of this pod. This is not about health & wellness. It is nothing but very extreme leftist propaganda shouted at you as though that will help the crazy ranting make sense.

I used to listen to Aubrey and Michael because they would bring data and research to a topic and sometimes a different perspective than mine. Recently with the election, they have completely lost all credibility. I couldn’t even get through the RFK Jr. episode without laughing. The man is in better health at an old age than most people I know at 30. This podcast finds it more important to be left than tell the truth. Sad to not be a listener anymore because I enjoy their personalities so much.

Too much yelling. Shame the content seemed interesting…

Total trash. Let’s be honest, nobody would even know this pod existed without Michael. Reading magazines doesn’t count as research.

A laughable circle jerk that I look forward to every 3 months they release a show. The antithesis to fat shaming. Supportive of FDA corruption. Fear Mongerers.

Please hold my hand through the next four years. This childless cat lady needs you.

I adore this podcast and am gifting subscriptions to several close friends this year. It’s well researched. and entertaining. I always learn something and am a better human for it.

The episode title caught my eye so I gave podcast a shot. If you want to listen to two women gab about things that they have clearly made their mind up about with out actually having a well rounded discussion all the while passing judgement on people, this is the podcast for you!

This is a brilliant and brilliantly funny podcast. ❤️❤️❤️

I think you’d get a kick out of it. Great podcast btw

It gets tiring listening to people strain so hard to be funny. Hobbes is good on If Books because his co-host balances well with him.

Thanks for your work on this show and the way you model a thoughtful, inclusive approach to the world and the people in it. Oh and thanks for the fascinating stories and the laughs!

Michael! Aubrey… I love listening to these two. They are smart, light hearted and fun. Such important conversations happen here, and I love that they don’t take themselves too seriously, even if they are discussing some serious themes. Just brilliant!

Amazing podcast. They are on a level all their own. Top tier. No one does it like the MP/you’re wrong about extended universe. Just a perfect show.

I’ve been a listener for years and every episode is informative, myth-busting, and hilarious.

I swear, Aubrey’s laugh has medicine in it. Love this show!

Very smart. Very funny. Very easy to listen to multiple episodes on end. I love how thorough they are in topics, entertaining and educational.

Is the transfer me it was so wonderful to hear someone standing up for us for once, thank you 🙏

Aubrey and Michael are rays of sunlight making this world brighter by illuminating truth. This podcast has given me so much information about the lies I’ve been told my whole life. They tell the truth about how the world treats fat people, how systems make it worse and about how being thin is NOT a moral victory. It’s also highly entertaining and makes you feel like you’ve just had an awesome conversation with your besties and can’t wait to hang with them again!

I look forward to listening to Aubrey and Mike every month! They have given me a new and much needed perspective on diet culture and fat phobia, and I always learn and laugh along with them. This is the best podcast.

Great listen. Love these people.

It is very rare that you run across a pod that manages to be incredibly funny but also succeeds I reshaping your understanding on a lot of issues. These two are so fun, thoughtful, and adept at wielding their journalistic research skills to undermine some of the most toxic preconceptions of our culture. Always happy to see the notification that a new episode of theirs has dropped, even though Michael laughs like Snidley Whiplash’s dog sometimes.
