Used to love listening, but the recent linguistic affectation of droppin’ the letter “g” is so distracting that I can’t listen anymore. Please just stop it. It calls your credibility into question. Update: Gave it another try recently to see if Jimmy got the message and started speaking normally again. Sadly, he's still droppin' the g's so I'm droppin' the podcast. It's unbearable and I'm out.

I’ve been meaning to write this review for the longest time. I love Jimmy and Dom’s interactions and their objective presentations. But most of all I love the show because of the variety of fascinating topics I learn about. One that actually changed my life concerned synesthesia which mentioned a condition known as aphantasia. What a shock to learn that other people have a real “minds eye”. Thanks Jimmy and Dom. Keep it up!

Bravo on revisiting the Malachy prophecy! Please - PLEASE - keep doing the canonical conspiracy topics, and do them over again. Others cannot hold a candle to Jimmy’s methodological rigor on the big topics. The Malachy topic has bothered me for a long time but Jimmy sets my mind at ease every time with his cool logic. May I offer a small criticism: The frequent “listener questions” episodes tend to be more tedious than mysterious and I took a long break because of them. Do the big “in search of” and “art bell” topics you do so well. Also, I am heartened to hear the accent smoothin’ out to a more buttery consistency with an increased frequency of diphthonged vowels. I was a little worried Dom also would start with droppin’ terminal “g”s but he remains comfortably and consistently East-Coast. It’s a good duo with two decidedly different accents.

Entertaining and Educational

Good podcast Accent kinda distracting but not sure if it can be helped The zodiac killer reader creeped me out he is very talented Good job (:

Insightful, instructive, entertaining.

The podcast has some really great, well thought out material on the paranormal and other mysterious topics, but from an educated, grounded, and Catholic perspective! Mr. Akin has a truly impressive breadth of knowledge and interests.

Thank you for bringing back the feedback segment. It’s like the cherry on top.

Jimmy, I once heard someone share stories of NDEs for people born blind. This obviously adds a whole new perspective. Have you considered this? Love your shows! Travis Frei

The breadth of topics alone deserves note, but add to that the skill of the presenters to make the subjects both understandable and compelling and the result is something not merely interesting but also beautiful.

I had to stop listening to the show many months ago. Suddenly Jimmy stopped pronouncing “ing” but rather “in”. I couldn’t take it. Ruined a great podcast.

Jimmy does a remarkable job of providing objective explanations to complicated topics. Don frames the questions in a comprehensive and relatable manner.

This podcast teaches me many things, strengthens my faith, and often makes me smile. Listen and consider membership. It's fantastic and fun! —Peggy F.

Got ‘em!!!

Great show

Thoroughly researched and well-balanced and very fun

you have a great show and loved the show on the “Rapture”. I remember hearing about that in the 70’s. I totally agree with your view. Blessings to you.

Dom, aren’t you the CEO of StarQuest? Put a stop to this affected speech Jimmy is sporting. He certainly knows by now it’s exceedingly unpopular, nay, hated and loathed. He affects it only on his own namesake show and not elsewhere. He knows it wouldn’t be welcome so he rams it down our throats. It’s just insufferable.

Very good show I love to listen to it at nights. I would love for them to do an episode about the Max Headroom hijack.

I have listened to many podcasts and there has been overlap with subjects covered by other shows and hosts. I can confidently state that the JAMW Podcast is consistently the most balanced presentation of the subject matter BY FAR.Keep up the great work Messrs.Akin and Bettinelli!

I want so badly to be a regular listener. I can’t stand the purposeful droppin’ of the “g” it’s reallly shameful. It makes you sound like a washed up old coot playing pretend southerner. Please stop. Everyone hates it.

Phenomenal podcast! Really good job!

A weekly examination of weird events from the perspective of religion and reason. There’s a lot of mysterious happenings going on!

I really like this pod, but I find myself scrolling past the newer episodes about aliens and UFOs to the more historic episodes like the beltway sniper shootings or the Cuban mussel crisis. I would really like to see some more podcasts about historic events. Thank you so much for what you do.

I started listening to Mysterious World about one month ago and absolutely love it! There are so many interesting episodes and I have learned much. I didn’t know anything about the lost scriptures, or other fascinating topics. I look forward to listening to each new episode and have listened to many of the older ones. Keep going Jimmy! It fills a void that I couldn’t find in any other podcasts. I also love your perspective at the end of each episode!

Listening to Jimmy & Dom is always a treat! The shows are always well done and thought provoking.

I love this show! As a Catholic, I continuously learn new and interesting information. But… what happened to Jimmy Akin’s speech? Why now does he leave off the -ING at the end of his words? Being the Speech police in the family, I cringe every time he does this. For example, instead of “runnIng”? He says, “runnin’”. “Sleeping” becomes “sleepin’”“Cringing” is now replaced with “cringin’”. The “G” is dropped on everythin’ and it is annoyin’, destractin’ and frustratin’! (See?)

The best episode structure of any pod on mysterious topics. Good pace and not the same old topics tirelessly covered by others.

First off , Dom and Jimmy I really like this Mysterious world show Dom is very thorough and inquiring, Jimmy is very informative and intelligent You guys are a great combination I also enjoy when you all have the dialogue from your family and also other guest To me this show is very relaxing to listen to and please continue to look deep into this mysterious world we all live in Thank you

… of this podcast! The subject matter brought me in, the engaging presentation keeps me coming back.

basically what the title says. its a good podcast, very interesting. however, using ai art for this type of thing is sort of unethical- if you cant get a human to make art or take a photo, or heck, even use a stock photo, then dont use a picture at all. its fine to not have pictures, but ai art should not be encouraged. nonetheless, great podcast and very entertaining!

Love your work! Please stop with the ai voice

Dear Faithful. While Akin is the senior most apologist, please keep in mind that he believes in silly things like spoon bending with your mind and believes he might have actually bent a spoon with his own mind. He has faith for this magic but not for spiritually sound, tested and church approved apparitions. Something as serious as a communication from heaven is treated with far more skepticism. Maybe in truth, in the past, Akin has said not to look for Medjugorje’s approval, and he simply can’t be wrong now. He loves to debate and maybe this is ego. Either way, keep the faith!

I love how well organized and high quality this show is. The different hosts play different roles to make the show easy to follow. And every little reference mentioned is followed by the number of the episode where you could find it. Then the hosts prepare a list of resources of go through them one by one to help listeners who want to take a deep dive. God bless and continue please. Please consider making a series on the history of the church. I know it’s daunting task but so many Christians are unaware of it and it will give us give an answer to the hope in which we have because more or less all the criticisms that our secular world present to us now has been raised and answered in antiquity.

Always a fascinating and thought provoking show. I especially love your shows on lost scriptures. Thank you for all of your hard work that is evident in every show.

Could you do a few episodes on cryptids? I’m thinking megalodon, anthropomorphic creatures, undead, and alleged dinosaur survivors.

But I agree with the poster who finds the Arkansas accent peculiar, self conscious, and off-putting. If his former accent wasn’t native, it had definitely become the appealing voice everyone knows — and perhaps more his own than the present attempt to re-home his persona.

Prior, could hardly wait to listen! Since he moved to hometown… CRINGE & IRRITATING DIALECT! Seems now he can NOT correctly pronounce ANY ENGLISH WORD ENDING IN A “g”!! 😲😖 Look’in’, won’drin’, notice-in’, readin’, reportin’, solve’in’, somethin’, accordin’. You get my point.

My mom and I enjoy listening to and discussing the episodes. I can tell a lot of work goes into them, so I can feel good about listening. I have been listening to podcasts for years, and this one amazes me with its longevity, consistency, and mix of entertainment, history, science, paranormal stuff, and Catholicism.

Jimmy’s the man!

Thank you for this podcast. Helps me logically think about the universe. Also I wasn’t catechized well growing up and he has helped me understand Catholicism more than I ever have. Thank you sir & wish you the most success with your media channels

Scripture narrator tone is grating (imo). Don’t blame you for being irritated by repeat questions but the venting is immature… the audience is not a collective mind. If becoming a curmudgeon, maybe time to hang it up.

One of my top podcasts that I follow. When I have time or on longer car rides I check out older episodes and they are all fun, interesting, and informative. Jimmy's scientific approach is really well done. Topics are well researched and reported and take in multiple angles. He has definitely broadened and enlightens my views on many subjects and helped me to take a more considered approach to a subject before jumping to conclusions. Highly recommend for history, mystery, and theology buffs.

Episodes are insightful, well written and researched. Plus you have to love anyone who can occasionally place a BSG or B5 reference into a serious conversation .

I normally love listening to Jimmy Akins. Unfortunately, episode 325 made me realize that Jimmy wants to take his personal issues out on the listeners. He is obviously annoyed that people ask about Guardian Angels, when the Christian response would be to rejoice in people wanting to learn more. He also took the opportunity to slam his long time employer, Catholic Answers. After listening to the latest issue, my opinion of Jimmy as a benign educator has changed. And what is with this new twang in his voice during the last several episodes? I get that he moved back to Arkansas, but come on, adding a twang when that hasn’t existed for years is simply odd. I am beginning to think that he may need to find a good therapist to help him work through his issues. He went from a level headed educator to an arrogant and condescending bumpkin.

Love it!

I love this show so much it’s fun and thought provoking my only gripe is Akin’s new accent but I don’t think he can help that 😃

Jimmy Akin uses logic to explain mysteries clearly and humbly admits when the evidence doesn’t show a clear answer He is honest and open to any reasonable explanation Keep it up Jimmy

This podcast is great. It’s just FUN. So much in this world is just toxic or has negative impacts on the soul. This podcast is none of that and all of the good things. It is fun, makes you think, it’s educational, and Jimmy is so great at looking at all sides of the mystery. I recommend this podcast to everyone I know and in fact I am teaching a class for our homeschool coop based around this podcast where students will walk through the mysteries with Jimmy and learn to critically think through them. My kids love this podcast too! We look forward to the new episodes every Friday.

This show is the highlight of my day. I drive trucks for a living and the podcast keeps me thinking. I love how you come up with the most random things and go into extreme detail. God made an amazing world and seeing it through your eyes makes it better. Thank you for the blessings to think outside the box as a Catholic.
