- “Cry Fowl” episode - 10/10!
I love this show, but had to comment specifically on the “Cry Fowl” episode which is damning for the City of Birmingham, which illegally denied your show access to public records. Thanks for this reporting & making sure everyone can know what happened to the ducks - as well as the cruel acts that city governments like Birmingham try to cover up. I hope this is going to make waves in their local media. RIP to the ducks.

United States12 days ago - Alex was good on reply all- here not so much
I loved reply all - but here Alex is borderline intolerable. His laugh is so OTT, it’s a hard listen, especially when he is the main host. The topics discussed are also not very interesting… the folklore episode? This is such common knowledge.

Australia20 days ago - A True Delight
Hyperfixed recaptures some of the best energy from Reply All and opens delightful doors into lives and you won’t find elsewhere. A trove of fun ephemera.
Apple Podcasts5BoutieUnited States22 days ago - If you miss Alex’s old show this will be your fix!
Still silly, full of heart, and nothing if not tenaciously and fastidiously researched.
Apple Podcasts5All day I dream about serialUnited Statesa month ago - Charming and quirky
This show has filled a hole in my podcast diet since reply all went off the air. Alex and the team captured that lightning in a bottle once again with the same charm and sometimes absurd problems I got with the super tech support episodes.
