  • Thoughtful, and thought-provoking

    I heard about this podcast, and don’t regret having a try. I haven’t gone through many episodes yet, but so far have really enjoyed “The World’s Happiest Person”, and found the subject of “Consuming Content” inescapably relevant.

  • So great!

    I’ve been looking for a podcast with engaging stories that don’t exist to scare the pants off of me; just interesting, funny, touching little short stories. Doe’s voice is also lovely & drew me right in. If you’re a fan of Nate DeMeo’s Memory Palace, you’ll love Meaningless Problems (and this one has no ads yet, even better). Keep ‘em coming Doe…you’ve definitely got a listener outside of your friends & family ( :
