Boom!
Been listening to Tim’s podcast for years, but have never reviewed. My wife and I listened to the interview with Arthur Brooks, and I have subsequently listened to it three more times. I’ve listened to thousands of podcasts on wellness, top performance and biohacking. This one is a bell ringer. So good. Well done Tim and Arthur. My life is richer because of your work. Thank you!

Tim U
Have listened to these podcasts for years. I always feel like I’m going to Tim U(niversity) when I do. I’ve introduced him to dozens of people and find it interesting who does not resonate with him. He seems to be a love or don’t like. Yes he talks about himself quite often but he is also clear. He brings these people on for him to learn. We just get to benefit from it. And I have and truly enjoy the variety of topics and the self effacing of Tim himself.

This Fei-Fei episode reminds me Tim’s efforts to promote Jack Ma. Paid by CCP?

Dr. Fei-Fei Li episode
Listening on the heels of Time PoY recognition - what a fantastic episode. I encourage you to listen - the messy middle, the importance of people within the AI realm - so good! Thank you, Tim, for bringing her on.

Pleeeease drop the AI voice, Tim
Have been listening to this podcast for years, but the awful AI voice makes it totally undigestible 🤷♂️

Refined, entertaining self-promoter
After listening to four or five of these podcasts, I am losing interest. There seems to be a very strong pattern of self promotion and non-value-added chatter towards very interesting, highly qualified guests. I rate the podcast at three stars rather than lower because the podcast has introduced me to people who I am very interested in, such as Dr. Rhonda Patrick. As far as the Tim Ferriss podcast itself, I am always left with a feeling of cloying yuckiness at the self-conscious and self promoting tone of the conversation. I am completely sick of hearing about Tim Ferriss‘ card game, Coyote. I was interested enough that I considered buying it, but I’ve heard so much about it from his own promotion in his own podcasts that I have zero interest in it now. The podcasts are extremely heavy with sponsorship and other advertising content.
Tim is clearly a very accomplished person, very successful in life and business, but I’m not sure why I would care about his opinions on the things he talks about in his podcast. On the contrary, I am very interested in the opinions of the very impressive experts that he brings on his show, which is the only reason to listen to his show. He delivers fascinating guests in an extremely self-promoting way such that his delivery itself is something to be suffered through, but the content delivered by his guests is definitely worth listening to.
I think of his podcast as a jumping off point to far superior content providers. I doubt I will listen to his podcast much further than introducing me to superior providers of information relevant to my life. I hope these impressive
primary content providers don’t sacrifice, their professional credibility in the long run from their association with someone of such fundamentally thin qualifications.

Insufferable
Honestly, the show has become insufferable. Brutally self indulgent. It’s bad. But Tim is brave and does on occasion have good guests. Just overall really insufferable though.

Great talk!! The HUGE payoff, connecting neuroscience with spirituality is the Dalai Lama story at the end. In a recent Rick Rubin Telegrammatron podcast featuring Joe Dispenza, the blue energy thing comes up similarly.

Longtime listener - Great podcast!
I’ve learned so much from this show and found so many other podcasts/people to listen to and follow. The show notes are extensive and informative- no pseudoscience here - and prepared to listen for an hour or so to an amazing conversation full of life changing information! Tim is detail oriented and asks great questions , while also allowing his guest to speak in depth and at length about the topic. I am not into business, in my opinion this is a great lifestyle/health podcast w/o the pseudoscience! Thank you Tim!

Common Sense Topics Repackaged for Sale
Only in US of A, a well off guy from Hampton, that has so much money now, still gets depression episodes, can sell common sense topics such as making priorities, efficiency, healthy habits and so on. There are many that cannot even afford trivial or daily necessities of life and here he is talking about his 2-10 PM eating habits, depression episodes, and his life “challenges”. To listeners and readers, keep drinking the Kool-Aid.

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.

I have always enjoyed Tims podcast and eclectic interesting guests. Now, especially, it is an intelligent oasis from media. Thank you

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!

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.

Best podcast I’ve followed
It’s obvious that Tim puts a lot of effort/ time into the show…he’s been a steadfast presence in my playlist for years and I’ve benefited tremendously from his interviews and insights. Highly recommend

The best!! :)
Tim is an outstanding interviewer. He has the most thoughtful questions. So smart! The Elizabeth Gilbert episode was outstanding. Highly recommend this podcast.

Love it!!
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.
