  • So glad you’re back!

    Really No Really explores interesting topics in a fun and interesting way. Peter and Jason ask the questions that you and I would ask, and some questions that I wouldn’t have thought to ask. I love this show and I am sooo glad it is back.

  • It's Back?

    The show quietly stopped in April without explanation... then just dropped an episode today without explanation. Hopefully they're back for good!

  • No new episodes, no explanation :-(

    I liked listening in on my ride to work, but they haven’t released an episode since April 2025 (and it’s now June). There has been no explanation on the podcast website, etc. about a haitus. It seems lame to drop off the air without mentioning why.

  • Pretty good

    To be honest, I’ve been listening to some podcasts of people who I grew up watching and it’s kind of disappointing that they’re not much like their character that they play on TV …even the way they speak, which is to be expected… However Jason sounds like George and has a hilarious personality to match so I really enjoy the podcast especially since they have some pretty eccentric topics
