  • Great Storytelling

    A strange obsession to find people with the same name as you and learn about their lives turns out to be a great premise for amazing storytelling! The show is compelling, funny, heartbreaking and everything in between. Totally recommend!

  • Delightful, fascinating

    I’m so glad to have discovered this little gem. It feels like a throwback to an earlier time of podcasting- when the story mattered more than the sponsorships; when the whimsical took precedence over the bottom line. Truly a labour of love. Thanks for the stories, Jacob Reed. Please keep working your way through your spreadsheet for another season or so. And thanks also for the hilarious ads.

  • Great show

    I agree with the reviewer who said to pull up a chair if you’re a fan of Heavyweight; this has a very similar feel and elicits similar feelings for me. Even when I initially think a subject won’t interest me, I’m delighted when it always ultimately does. I have thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, and Jacob Reed (Mr. “Me”), your season finale made me cry. I found myself cheering you on, and though I’m no jazz connoisseur, the “flub” in your show sure sounded like jazz to me!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus: Jacob Reed and Me Live + The Town Show
Q: What is the podcast about?
It's described as an investigative comedy series centered on finding other people named Jacob Reed and exploring their lives through humorous, documentary-style storytelling.
The Porn Star
Q: What was the goal of the call with Jess Royen?
To determine if he knew a performer named Jacob Reed and whether he could facilitate contact.
The Head Case
Q: What did you learn about memory from this process?
Memories are fragmentary and can be reshaped by emotion and later information; accessing them again often reattaches feelings that color the remembered details.
The Head Case
Q: How did you even begin to verify memories from a long-ago event?
By tracing medical records, following leads across doctors and hospitals, and then cross-checking with the other Jacob Reed's documented experiences to build a more complete timeline.
The Economist
Q: Why is the economy described as not equal to the stock market or GDP alone?
Because the economy is about how people actually live day-to-day—their incentives, jobs, wages, and housing—and the stock market and GDP are just indicators that can mislead if taken as the whole story; understanding the broader ecosystem helps reveal who benefits and who loses.
