Although all of the topics are very interesting and informative, it’s hard to listen to Dylan and his gang say LIKE so many times it’s hurts a normal humans ears. It’s so hard to understand why “professional entertainers” are SO lazy with the English language. I hope they’d read this is an open mind and try to do better rather than being defensive.

Our family loves “Atlas Obscura”… the stories and podcasters make history and locations come alive! Andddd Pack Dawson has even planned trips to take in some of the sites! Thank you for the show 😊

I enjoy your beach stories such as the Grey Man and Shipwrecked Doritos. I find it fascinating to hear old legends retold on podcast the way a book takes us back in time. Thank you for sharing such interesting insights around the globe and entertaining audiences everywhere.

Atlas obscura is a consistent break from the usual. Always full of interesting places and things. Most of the time just pure fun.

Discover parts of the world you never knew existed. Wonderful editing, sound levels are spot on, and vivid stories. A great way to start, continue, or end a day. Get inspired to explore our vast world from many perspectives.

I love Atlas Obscura. This podcast brings me joy! It’s a bright spot in my day! I look forward to learning about new and interesting places and people.

I listen to this podcast every week. Faithful follower.

Often good; except when woke & leftist.

Since discovering this show, it’s one of the things I look forward to each morning. Short stories that reignite wonder in the world we live in. In a media landscape of constant coverage, it’s easy to feel as if there is nothing left to discover, but this show will remind us every day that there is always more to see if we are looking in the right places.

Whenever I need a reminder that the world is indeed a wonderful place full of curiosities and quirks and fascinating people, this is my go-to! What a joy! And to the people complaining about ads … I don’t like them either but how else are they supposed to pay the bills?

I’ve recommended, shared more episodes and poorly retold more stories from this podcast than any other. Each time, I describe the tone as “well-intentioned”, not to imply a lack of quality or knowledge, but in honesty. Dylan and the crew are heartwarming and brighten my days.

I used to love listening to Atlas Obscura but Almond Joy!?! It’s such a fake, it can’t even say chocolate. It has to say chocolaty because it would be lying to say chocolate. It’s garbage junk food and you are pushing it for advertising dollars. You have sold your soul. Sad. Farewell.

Always learning something fascinating! Thanks to podcasters!

Dylan, my husband and I love your podcasts! We shut off the lights in our living room and get comfortable in our respective comfy chairs and randomly pick two or three pod casts most nights. We really enjoy 1. The subjects - so random but fascinating. 2. The writing style. 3. The famous tones that ring at the start. 4. Your speaking style. 5. Clear and well spoken narrators 6. Shortish yet long-enough episodes. 7. Easy to listen to. Thank you for your work on these. I was an original subscriber of the newsletter and now really enjoy the podcasts. I got my sister in San Diego hooked on the newsletter too. Thanks again!

I highly recommend this podcast. It covers a wide variety of unique and interesting places to visit and is a great companion to the website. It is a reminder of all the possibilities out there and I draw inspiration from almost every episode.

Love the content. A couple narrators employ vocal fry, probably out of habit. It’s so irritating to me. I have to skip those episodes.

Because it’s obscured by an insane number of ads.

This is a great show. I discovered Atlas from the website, but the show is even better. Episodes are well explained in the perfect length. This gives you an opportunity to explore and dig deeper further on your own if you find what you learned captivating. Highly recommend

I love all the quirky places and experiences that are highlighted on the podcast. I love traveling, and try to work in seeing something I’ve heard about. We just visited PistachiolLand in Alamogordo, NM and the Casa de Azucar in El Paso, TX.

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

I love learning new things, whether it’s new places or fascinating creatures or strange places, I feel like my mind can never take in enough information! I also love impressing my friends with stories but not having to do any of the research! Seriously, I’ve been a faithful listener for years. I love that the information is in digestible language and length, and I feel like the hosts are friends. Thank you for making us curious about the world!!

Fascinating, curious, unusual stories that will make you marvel at the wonders of the universe and uniqueness of humankind

I love this podcast! I love to travel and this gives such interesting stories and tales of places. They have managed to keep it clean. Which I really appreciate !

Came to the show via Sam Sanders and I’m so happy I found it! Now more than ever, treasuring outdoors and the joy of discovery is so important!

I like to do adventurous things, and when I’m not… and doing more remedial home activities, this is a good podcast to listen to, to learn about the world outside and the fun things that await during travel!

I absolutely love this podcast. So many people, places, and things to meet, to visit, and to learn.

I learn something new with every episode!

I’m new to this show, and I’m hooked. At turns, it is weird, funny, creepy, perplexing … and always fascinating!

I’ve been a fan of Atlas Obscura for over a decade at this point so when I discovered there was a podcast I was incredibly excited. I love the Atlas’s work to spreading wonder about the world around us and to travel journalism. More importantly, as a trans man, I’ve enjoyed the work the podcast has done to not only spread awareness of LGBTQ locations, but also for other important locations to marginalized groups. Thanks to everyone on the team for their work making such a wonderful podcast.

Always learn something new. Each episode is well written and informative.

My dream would be to work at Atlas Obscura in some capacity, but I’m aware it’s not likely, so I live vicariously through the podcast. With that being said, I’d love to hear an episode touching more on the Puerto Rican independence movement. There’s a bit of a disconnect as to who wants it vs who oppose it, and it’s a pretty interesting and rich history that could lend itself to a good episode. From monuments and landmarks to literature and music.

I enjoy the unique stories. My Go To when I want to feed my brain and stimulate my curiosity. Thank you.

The Atlas Obscura podcast is so interesting! Every weekday, one of the many presenters takes you on an adventure to somewhere! Someplace you’ve never been. Likely someplace you’ve never even heard of. I’ll never be a world traveler, but this podcast makes me want to be!

As a heavy commuter I rely on podcasts for entertainment throughout the week. I’ve only discovered Atlas Obscura fairly recently but it’s instantly become one of my favorites with frequent episodes and interesting topics I have never heard about. Thank you for giving us wonderful content!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I love learning about new places, things and traditions. I have now found myself looking for locations when I am traveling. Thanks for expanding my world.

The one good thing about the weekend being over (a new Atlas Obscura episode). Always a delight! :)

always interesting

I love The Atlas Obscura Podcast! They are a great length, not too long, not too short. I like all of the different people that report on cool places around the world to visit.

This podcast tickles my spiritual funny bone, and is a regular part of my listening delights. More that that, it has inspired me to consider crafting my own entries, of which I have several to suggest, and that listeners might enjoy.

Love this podcast when I’m wanting to listen to something fun ,interesting & uplifting. I recommend it a lot.

Great podcast. I enjoy the variety and quirky subjects. Well done!

Love learning new fun bits from people that feel like friends (very smart friends)!

I listen to this podcast because of your phone number, specifically the area code. Ok, not exactly. While I don’t remember where I first heard about the podcast (I knew the website so had name recognition when I did), I do remember being overly excited the first time the phone number was read. My area code is the same. It was assigned to me when I got my first cell phone in 2001. 315 is no longer used in that specific town and I haven’t lived in NY for many years but keep the number. It is somehow comforting to have had it for so many years. I didn’t start listening to podcasts until my child was maybe 2 or so. I loved that we could share stories and learn together - and what game-changers for bedtime! This podcast is one of the first (the first?) that I subscribed to that was for me. I like that the episodes aren’t too long and sometimes I do play them at my own bedtime - but don’t worry, if I fall asleep, I go back to listen. Thank you for your content. I brings me a sense of comfort & connection.

This episode made me smile, laugh, visualize and imagine. It gave me hope that there are creative and innovative solutions to housing.

If you like to travel and explore, there is no better podcast out there! Each host and producer has their own unique storytelling stying making this varied and always interesting! This is one of my “don’t skip” daily podcasts.

One of the most consistently satisfying podcasts out there. It’s a gift.

Tuned into the Skinny Houses episode, and I loved the personal touch that Talon brought into the subject. It was a fun thing to learn about!

This podcast has good information but it is despicable the way they normalize and glamorize animal abuse. For that reason I took away 4 stars. Too harsh, no it is not. They end to wake and and evolve as human beings, not only as scientists and/or reporters os science. Update: it’s 2024 and the show has done nothing to make listeners aware of the cruelty to animals done behind the scenes in touristic places, horses, sheep, mules, burros, camels, lobsters, and the list goes on and on. Really disappointed.

One of the best. Period the end.

I have really enjoyed this podcast. The range of topics covered are vast and facinating. I have learned more from this podcast than any other that I have listen to.
