Nisma Inyang interview
Thank you! Great interview. I took many notes from this interview. I’m a trainer who integrates different forms of training to work specifically with my clients. You mentioned your back several times. It would be great to have Dr Eric Goodman on who invented Foundation Training (FT) from his own back pain. I’m a FT certified instructor & this stuff works! For all ages. 10-20 mins a day…you’ll be shocked! Thanks again!

Hey She
More case studies please!
..the interview with Charlie is still looping in my mind. This was excellent — practical, vulnerable, and immediately applicable to my own life! Please do more!

Tim Ferriss + politics = ?
Have enjoyed Ferris’s for some time, but not seeking his advice in politics. Bye bye Tim

Life changer
Tim’s podcast has introduced me to a slew of concepts, people, and practices that I have used to improve my life. I love the extended time frame and conversational tone - it allows for context and more in-depth understanding of whatever is being discussed - and the wide range of topics keeps me engaged. This podcast has been key in my ongoing development, and I’m both thrilled and grateful for its continued existence. Thank you, Tim, and please carry on!

So much valuable information
Wish I could listen to more of Tim’s podcasts, they are so interesting. From practical information to poetry (David Whyte), to everything in between. I’m grateful for this show, it helped me a lot.

Hands down my FAVORITE podcast
I've subscribed to tons of podcasts, but Tim Ferriss's show is hands down my favorite. The diversity of guests and topics keeps every episode fresh and inspiring. I love the powerful quotes, genuine vulnerability, and actionable learnings he shares. The show notes are second to none—so detailed and helpful! I love it so much, I even sorted my podcasts manually just to keep it at the top of my list. Thank you, Tim and team, for making my life richer—this show truly stands out!

If I Could Only Listen to One…
No other podcast provides as much insight and value across a wide range of topics. Tim is well-spoken and always prepared with thoughtful questions that often don’t get asked of the guest during other interviews. If I could only listen to one podcast, it would 1000% be this one.

Great Interviews
Always interesting, Tim is an excellent interviewer and has amazing guests. The format allows for deep conversations that offer useful insights and practical methods for enhancing your life. Lots of brilliant ideas. Grateful to be able to listen.
Very Appreciative!
The most important podcast in my life
This is the first podcast I started listening to back in 2015 when Arnold Schwarzenegger was on episode 60. For about three years, it was the only podcast I listened to, and I listened to every episode. Over the years I’ve also listened to/ read Tim’s books, and I can honestly say I would not be where I am today were it not for the concepts and lessons I’ve learned from Tim and the amazing guests featured on The Tim Ferriss Show. My fiancé and I connected over The 4-Hour Workweek and this podcast on our first date. We started a business that utilizes many of the aforementioned concepts and lessons, and as of today have not had day jobs for a combined six years. A driving principle has been time freedom, which we’ve achieved by using and building systems taught on this podcast to automate our business and buy back our time, and by extension, our lives. I cannot recommend this podcast enough and it is not hyperbole to say it has truly changed my life.

My go-to podcast for thought provoking content
This is one of a small handful of podcasts I come back to religiously. If you want to find innovative thinking, emerging topics and deeply researched long form interviews this will be a new favorite. Listening to Tim and his guests is an incredible education every single time. In an overwhelmingly cluttered landscape of 'experts,' Tim stands out as a trustworthy source of information.

Tim contributes to vulnerable self reflection with an uplifting perspective. I want more!
Years ago when I started my first business, I would listen to Tim’s podcast while I roasted chicken feet and simmered traditional soups. It was so motivating to hear from such incredible people in a way that made you feel like you were in the room with them…part of a conversation that made you feel like you had what it took to build and grow into something more. Because Tim brings people together and builds bridges that elevates anyone he comes into contact with. He’s like a polarized magnet attracting positivity and brave individuals to share intimate details of their lives that give color and foundation to the journeys we all uniquely face. After building my first business into a multi-million Omni-channel success, I now run and operate another two. I dream of the day that the businesses and communities I build could be meaningful enough to share on the podcast. A BHAG that pushes me to be better. I relish in your gift and hope to one day be of value in return. From so many of us - thank you for continuing to share and create. ❤️

Best Interview Ever
The interview with Scott Glenn is the best interview I’ve ever heard. He opens up because he trusts Tim Ferris who I never heard of before. What a ride! Fantastic!

Derren Brown
The guy got political talking about a racist Trump supporter, blah, blah, blah, and Ferris did not challenge him on it. Not a big Trump supporter myself, but I can't stand the unnecessary political stuff and Ferris being too cowardly to say anything.

Smart oasis

Episode 221 minute 21
Are you freaking kidding me i dont know anything about this guy whatsoever just listening to one podcast at the moment he could be crazy but the question he asked mr money mustache episode 221 minute 21 was so intelligent. I paused it and freaked out at the higher order thinking and immediately wrote this review. HATS OFF. That was worded so well and automatically takes top seat for best podcast question ive ever heard. Cant wait to hear it again.

Long-time listener and it’s still my favorite podcast!
I’ve been listening to The Tim Ferriss show for many years and I still love it so much. It truly makes my life better. I love Tim’s long-form style; he is an excellent interviewer and is beautiful vulnerable about himself as well. I always learn a ton and regularly put what I learn into practice. I’m so grateful.

Tim Seth = Gold
A convo between Tim Ferris and Seth Godin always elicits so many useful concepts, especially if you are a freelancer. This was an excellent episode!

This is a great idea. I was having a horrible day, and it really turned my day around ❤️

Insufferable
Honestly, the show has become insufferable. Equal parts self indulgent and congratulatory, name dropping, and all that. It’s bad. But Tim is brave and does on occasion have good guests. Just overall really insufferable though.

Consistently Engaging
I have listened to this podcast regularly for over a decade. Tim brings you whatever is at his own leading edge of growth-which is substantial. It seems wherever my own journey finds me, this podcast is exactly what I need, augmenting and expanding my world. I’m infinitely grateful for its consistent presence and value. Thank you, Tim.

Stop hogging the air
He has great guests, but it’s tiring how often this guy goes off on self-indulgent tangents that are totally unrelated to the guest or subjects being discussed. He gets overly pedantic toward his guests about random things, which lands to be as narcissistic condescension. Please be more self-aware, Tim.

If you are curious, it’s for you
This podcast consistently contributes value to my life. It’s interesting, entertaining, and educational in a variety of ways. Tim’s style is approachable and intelligent, and I’ve benefited from his different perspective.

This is always such a treat. Thank you Tim for sharing yourself your vulnerabilities and your guests and for being thoughtful about what you do and the questions are you ask. 🙏🏽☮️💟 I always find the Podcasts super interesting even when I think I won’t!! Xx

Love it, more women please
I love this podcast and Tim’s interview style. I never know what I might learn and find myself quoting the content often. I ask you to consciously, and with intention, interview more women. Jane McGonagal and Anne Lamont were two of my favorites.

Beyond Thankful
Inspiring stories, motivation to dream, immensely educational, sweet and hilarious banter, admirable guests, heartwarming and real. Love that Tim always tells his guests that they’ve got time to chat and there’s no rush. I love the way he gives his genuine interest and attention to everyone he brings on his show. It’s nice to not feel rushed as a listener so I’m sure it’s great for the guest as well! One of my favorite shows. Love Tim. Hope he finds true love. Maybe a speed dating session with his followers and listeners! Clearly we all love him!! Would love to attend an event in LA with Tim!

A good resource to find new interesting topics
I like the show covering wide variety of topics, and helped me learning new (to me) and interesting subjects to further explore time to time. Having said that, not all episodes are interesting (again, to me), the interviews are designed/structured around the host’s personal interests…not necessarily optimized for the delivery of the topic/concepts to the audience.

Missed the mark
Tim, I have a great deal of respect for you and for your podcast. I’ve listened for years. I was disappointed to hear you giving Matt Pottinger a platform with no push-back. He’s advancing a fascist agenda and you simply stepped aside and let him do it like Lex Friedman. You’re better than this.

Ignorance and prejudice
After the episode #736, I think that you own all your fans an interview with professor Jeffrey Sacks, to balance up the ignorance and prejudice of your guest, Matt Pottinger.
AvonQuester
Life changing work
I’ve been listening since 2017. No, I don’t follow every episode, but the path this podcast has set me on is something I’ll be forever grateful for. There aren’t that many podcasters who are creating their show from a place of genuine curiosity. Tim is one. Listen to the interviews with Martha Beck and Craig Frost. Or go way back to Jack Kornfield and Debbie Millman. You’ll find refuge for your heart in this man’s work.

Great guests and topics but a little too commercial
The first nearly 6-7 minutes were ads…. I understand the need for ads and revenue but it was a turn off from the beginning. His verbiage and speech is so slow and choppy sometimes, it can be difficult to listen as it lacks flow and fluidity. Lacking some authentic ideologies and seems a bit cliché, I’m sorry.

Martha Beck discussion
Tim, I just love your shows and especially this interview with Martha Beck. Thank you for bringing relevant and broad information to your listeners! The authenticity is very refreshing as well.

Home Run
The Scott Glenn interview is awesome and the Barbra C. I Was not familiar with either of these people but the interviews were delightful, interesting, and entertaining. Kudos to you and who ever contacted these people for your podcast. Keep it going.

Is the show… still the title
I appreciate Tim, he was pivotal in my experience growing into my profession. His interviews were ground breaking for the time, he truly shaped the podcast industry. We have some podcasters who have become more extreme, but I’m afraid tim was afraid to become ‘too extreme’ so he tried to double down what he was doing. I think Tim should diversify his brand and be ‘different’ shows within the brand. For example think: Armchair expert … then they launched “armchair anonymous”. I love Tim’s podcasts but I think the content has become bland because of the lack of diversity. Tim became a popular podcast because it was a result of the underdog status. At the summit you instead became a plateau. Don’t force every podcast to meet the same standard, but rather dive into what makes you unique. Allow your podcast, to reflect your books, different episodes reflect different experiences. Tim Ferris - startups Tim Ferris - personal finance Tim Ferris - health Etc. Keep your brand, but differentiate. I’d love to subscribe to specific parts of Tim Ferris, instead I find myself halfway through you podcast asking… what is the point of the story other than the fact that you successfully booked someone to interview. Example: the latest Seth Godin podcast sounds like a has-been story of someone who is trying to spin old stories into new reflections. “Going for a walk with him” is not fresh. But if Seth godin “non-startup entrepreneurs” I’d love to listen to that

The ultimate resource
This now extensive library of interviews is the ultimate resource on the planet for interesting people and all they share. I’m very grateful this podcast is still going strong.

Best of the Best
I was fortunate to stumble upon Tim’s podcast many years ago. It has improved my life (and by extension the lives of others around me) in more ways than I can express in this short review. Tim’s thorough research and thoughtful questions show respect for both his guests and his audience. If I had to pick only one podcast to listen to it would be The Tim Ferriss Podcast, without a doubt.

Go-to Podcast for 7 Years
Tim is a great host that takes his interviews seriously while also injecting great personality and authentic curiosity. I love how he lets the conversations wander but can bring it back to the core of the discussion. I’ve been listening to this show for 7 years and counting and always get a lot out of them. In creating my own podcast, I have definitely taken a number of pages from Tim’s playbook. Plus, Tim is just a good dude who shares his vast knowledge freely and with the intention of helping others speed up the learning and improvement processes.

Great value to life
Tims podcast has provided me amazing value over the years. Insights, ideas, different perspectives, challenges, changes, helpful thinking, and more. Appreciate all you do Tim. Thank you.

Used to be great now self indulgent
I have been long time fan and reader of Tim and have consistently gotten value and enjoyment out of his thinking across different media formats. Increasingly, however I feel he is off course with his show. The conversations are dominated by Tim’s monologues and he is getting increasingly repetitive in his aging anecdotes. How many more times do we need to hear about his experiences at his first SXSW when he was trying to make it? The interviews feel more self-serving, with Tim indulging his need to be heard, and the desire to gain information that he wants. This approach rubs off on the guests who also are not providing as good material to the listeners as in previous episodes. How can they when their interviewer is dominating the conversation and directly asking them to respond to him. It is constricting and does not give the guests space to share their unique perspectives. Instead, they spend most of the episode responding to Tim’s. Tim, if you’re reading this, please course correct your podcast to bring it closer to what it originally was and what is reflected in your books. You interviewing high performers, and distilling their lessons and experiences for the rest of us. You talk about wanting to be more anonymous and more in the background but I don’t see it from the way you conduct your interviews. You seem to want to be the center of the story and that’s not how it was originally. In closing, I have to say this is still one of the better podcasts around, at least via the archive of past episodes, but it has lost its way.

Always worth the time
I sometimes go a little while without listening to one of Tim’s shows, and then when I inevitably tune back in I berate myself for not keeping up to speed. He’s such a fantastic interviewer. Great questions and actionable insights. I think I’m a better person for having this show in my life.

Life is better with this podcast in it!
Tim never disappoints! His insights combined with the powerhouse roster of talented guests has what it takes to really examine what/how/why we have can motivate our society to operate at higher level, each of us contributing in a way that’s meaningful. There’s no being unconsciously asleep at the wheel after listening to these conversations!

Learning a ton from it, grateful!
I’ve been following Tim’s deconstructing the top performers’ methodologies for quite some some, just never in this app. This morning I was walking Borscht, my dog, and randomly checked the podcast app. And there is was — Tim’s walking and talking experiment that layered perfectly on our long Sunday morning walk. Actually, due to this episode, we walked even longer than I initially planned. So, thanks for the amazing notes (some real good stuff) and some extra steps in my tracker. Keep it walking, it is truly refreshing! :)
