Love this Podcast!
I started listening to this podcast very early on, they fueled many solo work trips over the years. I miss Dana, but I’m glad the other three have stayed and continue to produce episodes. I’m happy to keep listening even if you only produce one episode a year. 💜

Best (although only) Podcast I’ve Listened To!
I started listening to this podcast a year ago with my mom, and I can’t stop! We’ve only gotten to 125th episode, but there’s still so much to listen to, and I can’t wait to listen to it all!
Trivia Not So Buff
Ugh….
Sound quality is obnoxious and the content they talk about is a mental waste 😕

One time I was driving my car when the hood burst into flames. I pulled off the road and called them, and I managed to get on the show! They told me that my fuel pump had been rubbing my brake belt and it made sparks that lit my coolant tubes on fire. I put it out with my fire extinguisher. I went home, but the car was totaled. As a mother of fourteen, I needed a new car. But my husband was furious, and he left me and took 11 and 1/2 of my children. I lost my house, my dog, my trailer, my beaver pelts, my wooden turtle houses, and my “cat”. I couldn’t take it anymore and I became a mint-chocolate-chip-and-potato-chip-frozen-salad-aholic. Good show though.

Want to love
I want to love this. It inspired us to buy loads of Trivia Pursuit cards, shuffle them, and leave them around the house. We love trivia! But the more we have listened to, there is way less trivia. Episode 281 was story after story. It is exhausting to listen to and just not what it used to be. This season also feels inconsistent with its release date.

My favorite podcast!
Karen, Colin, and Chris have been “friends” of mine for years, yet they don’t know I exist. They love what they do which is evident by the joy in their voices as they discuss the week’s topic. Let’s hope Dana makes an appearance from time to time! If they read this, thank you for being a bright spot in an otherwise dim period of life. You guys are awesome.

Perfect
The best podcast ever to be made. I enjoy every episode, it cheers me up and makes me laugh when I need it most. Karen ISN’T annoying, all of the hosts are amazing and add so much. Please come back, we need you.

So Glad I Rediscovered
I loved this show so much before the hiatus, and would check almost weekly, then monthly for a return. I guess I just missed it during the pandemic but I can’t be mad about a torrent of tantalizing trivia to tickle my thinker’s timpanies. Some of the best trivia out there.

Excellent
Excellent podcast led by awesome people. I’ve been a long time fan and hope they continue making episodes for many years to come!

Please fix the sound!
Absolutely love this podcast, but the sound levels make it difficult to listen to sometimes, especially in the car. One of them is usually significantly louder or quieter, Chris always sounds like he’s in a tin can, and there’s generally never a consistent volume across the board. Please please please fix this! Everything else about this show is perfect.

Love this show!
I’ve been listening for years and always enjoy it. Now my kids ask to listen too!

Now what to listen to?😔
I just finished listening to the last episode. I found this podcast months ago and have been listening as I drive between patients’ homes for work. I have been a little obsessed and now anytime I provide some information about a random subject my family just says ‘you learned that from your podcast, right?’ I enjoy the trivia and I feel like I know you all by now. Thanks for putting this out there and I look forward to new episodes in the spring.

Good job!
Always been consistently darn entertaining! Fun, goofy, hugely informative. Just know, little mistakes need occasional purging! Questions, responses, smooth trivia. Usually very wonderful. eXcellent, you Zoomers!

All the Alliterations are Awful!
The alliterations were fun for a while. Now it makes me cringe every time the show starts and I have to convince myself not to turn it off. We’re all impressed that you can pull words from the same section of a dictionary to make a ridiculous sentences. It takes more than having nouns and verbs in their proper places to make a sentence that people want to hear. And turn down Karen’s microphone! (Or off, if you can—bring back Dana!)

It’s my pocket rock
This show is the show that I always start out recommending to people who haven’t really gotten into podcasting bc there is NO WAY that they won’t like it. It’s like the cool rock that you found on the beach that you know will illicit an “ooooHhhooohhh” when showing people 👏🏼 👏🏼

The Best Podcast
I definitely miss Dana, but to the previous reviewer that said they can’t stand Karen, I say to you what my every adult ever said to me as a child. If you don’t have something kind to say, say nothing at all. Stop being another mean person on the internet. Karen, you’re an incredible host. You kill it every episode. I have listened to the whole series and love learning from y’all.

Great for trivia lovers!
This is a great podcast for trivia lovers! My husband and I both enjoy it and learn a lot each episode!

Fills the hole that Ask Me Another left
Stumbled across this on a holiday road trip and am so glad I did. The perfect mix of trivia and other entertainment.

Seriously the best

My Happy Place
I have been listening to this show from the beginning. Back then, I was working a job that was mental torture. I got permission to wear headphones and discovered Good Job, Brain!, and other fantastic podcasts (99% Invisible was recommended on the show, THANK YOU!) My life changed dramatically. Work became enjoyable. Over the past decade+, this blessing of a podcast has been with me through the otherwise torture of my job at the time, maintaining the daily responsibilities of domestication, long commutes, nearly the entire duration of raising my now 13 year old (who likes to listen with me), grieving the death of my husband (has since been 5yrs), and many more. I’ve listened to the entire catalogue too many times to count. The hosts feel like friends. There voices are very comforting. I actually don’t mind doing the dishes (no dishwasher), which I would otherwise despise, because I can listen to GJB. I struggle with anxiety, which has intensified since the passing of my husband. For me, GJB is an incredibly effective and invaluable coping skill, for which I am grateful. P.S. so bummed that Dana’s gone 😭

Love the trivia info
Like the different topics and how the friends interact. Line that I know a lot of the stuff but also get tripped up by new info

Best Trivia Podcast
This podcast is the absolute best- the hosts are funny, the trivia is fun, and I always walk away feeling like I learned something. I often listen with my husband, my mom or even my younger nephews who love hearing about different foods, how wild different animals are. I highly recommend this podcast for road-trips, family fun vacations, or just driving your kids to school. 10/10

Fun and light!
I love this podcast! I was happy to hear they came back from their hiatus. The podcast is so fun and great to play in the car with other people. It’s a nice little break from the craziness of the world

Greatest trivia
This is the best of the best. If you are into learning there are extremely well researched topics discussed during every episode along with, of course, trivia. The trivia is mainstream and things I want to know. I can even answer a few! Some trivia programs use trivia of such obscurity because they need to stump the experts on the show. Give it a few episodes and you will get hooked! Good Job Good Job Brain

Good Job, hosts!
Words can not express the joy I felt when I realized (unfortunately, a year later) that Good Job, Brain is back making episodes. GJB was my absolute favorite show to listen to for a very long time, and when it stopped suddenly, I was very sad. But eventually when I assumed it was gone for good, I unsubscribed. Fast forward a handful of years later, and I accidentally saw something that announced they were back - and I have a years worth of back episodes to catch up on, SO EXCITING. After listening to a few episodes so far, it’s as if you all never left. Such a seamless transaction back into making episodes. And my god, the quizzes and the banter are as fun as ever. Please don’t ever leave again! Best podcast ever.

Poor Production
This podcast would be so fun if they would sit in the right places! The volume is all over the place. The person reading the questions sounds a million miles away and other people sound like they’re shouting. Wanted to like this but it got too annoying to constantly adjust the volume in the car!

Episode 234
While on my walk at lunchtime I’m listening to the lost episode as the GJB team asks about NBA sponsorship specifically who is sponsored by Harley Davidson. Low and behold Im walking past the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee. Your timing is impeccable.

Still the best trivia podcast!
I was very sad when Good Job Brain went “missing “ for an extended period and was thrilled when they returned. Love all 4 awesome hosts and really appreciate the male/female balance. My only real complaint is that their new seasons are too short. This is the only podcast that I have routinely listened to more than once (the way I console myself whenever they go absent.) Love the show format. The all quiz shows are my favorites but I learn something new and fun on every episode. A must for anyone who loves trivia and enjoys learning really weird facts! Their topics are generally very well researched but I admit (as a retired health care professional) I have found myself cringing a bit sometimes when they venture into medical topics. If they ever wanted to add a 5th member to their awesome team, I would recommend a Baby Boomer with extensive experience actually living through 1900 mid-century pop culture and with medical expertise. Think that addition to the team might make them totally invincible at pub trivia. BTW, I am available for the job…

So happy this exists!
I've been listening to Karen, Dayna, Chris, and Colin for years and have learned so much with their podcasts. It's even inspired me to start a trivia friend group of my own! The facts I learn from the pod always help me look smart in conversations too, haha! I was a little sad that they stopped making the podcast for awhile there, but I'm so glad they started back up again! This is seriously my favorite podcast of all time and I hope the never stop uploading! Thank you guys!!!

I’ve been a listener since way back and have loved this podcast. I was so happy to see them back after a long break and the show is just as good as it’s always been. Great show.

Absolute favorite
The best combo of fun and informative... I look forward to it every week and re-listen to the old ones when the guys are on hiatus. I loved the last season especially. Everyone seems to be back in top form and even more giggly than ever. Love!

The podcast that got me into podcasts!
Absolutely hilarious, intelligent show! I can’t recommend it enough. It’s been years since I stumbled upon GJB while first dabbling in the podcast world. Years later, I’m an avid podcast listener of many genres, but this show remains my all time favorite.

My favorite!
I am an equal opportunity podcast listener but this show is by far my favorite! I am so happy it’s back! I never know what I’m going to learn next. Keep up the great work!

Great Show!!!
I loved this show before and I am glad they are back. It’s been a long “week”! I like trying to play along with the trivia.

Lighthearted Trivia and Facts Have Returned!
Ever since I discovered them in 2016, this group of friends have been my favorite to listen to and learn from. Their energetic, lighthearted banter never leaves me bored and their trivia and stories always teaches me something new. I’m so happy they’ve returned to making podcasts, here’s to the next 200!

Great brain fun!
It's like hanging out with fun, witty friends. I am SO glad they are back! It is a big load of brain-tickling fun every week.

Incredibly entertaining
I am THRILLED that there are new episodes! The new shows feel exactly the same as the “first season,” and I can’t wait to hear the rest. I’ve been listening while shopping and getting my vaccine, and I’m so glad everyone’s wearing a mask so no one sees me grinning to myself about every joke. 😂 When GJB took a hiatus, it left a hole in my brain that I did not adequately fill until I discovered Ologies with ol’ Dad Ward at the start of the pandemic. Please, oh please, get GJB and Alie Ward in the same Zoom call for SOMETHING.

Never stop never stopping
Let me join the chorus of fans beside themselves with joy to have you back! You guys really should expand the brand into a YouTube channel. You could be the Ryan’s Toy Review for nerds!
