  • Excellently funny, but needs to be viewed!

    John Goblikon’s humor and recurring jokes deserve a gold star. He is so respectful to all of his guests and plays fun games with them and has them answer the Right Now! Rapid Fire Questionnaire, which is also podcast gold. However, what are you doing LISTENING to a goblin podcast? You need to be watching it on YouTube.

  • Suicidal ideation

    This podcast on a loop would be as bad as an eternal damnation I could imagine.

    Nails on a chalk board. Just unfunny yelling.

    I guess what I’m saying is, not my cup tea.

  • My new favorite!

    I only wish there were 2 each week :D

    I listen to several comedy podcasts and this has become my favorite!!

    THIS Goblin makes even the “meh” guest fun! Johannes’s flat Swedish affect and exasperated sighs… great addition to the whacky improv.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Goblin Invades Vans Warped Tour 2026 (Long Beach)
Q: Favorite genre of metal?
The guests describe a mix, with some naming Nekrogoblikon's own style and others preferring traditional subgenres.
Goblin Thinks Ryan Sickler Has The Best Laugh
Q: What makes a laugh iconic, in your view, and how do you assess laughs in a crowd or on a recording?
An iconic laugh has shifting dynamics, a startle-to-joy trajectory, and a unique texture that feels authentic to the laugher; I look for variety in pitch and cadence and how it communicates genuine joy rather than just a punchline.
Goblin Thinks Ryan Sickler Has The Best Laugh
Q: You mentioned the 'grass is greener' idea—how has hearing other people's extreme stories changed your view on your own storytelling?
It reminds me that everyone has a story worth hearing and that humor can come from processing trauma; the more you lean into the truth of the moment, the more relatable and powerful the story becomes.
Mythical Chef Josh Scherer & a Goblin Talk Last Meals
Q: What made the Gordon Ramsay episode special in terms of timing and impact?
Gordon Ramsay's episode was the highest viewed, around 21 million, and Ramsay's reputation for speaking honestly elevated the moment, making the dish and the conversation both a culinary and cultural highlight.
Mythical Chef Josh Scherer & a Goblin Talk Last Meals
Q: What is the prompt given to guests for their Last Meals and how flexible is it?
Guests are asked to provide roughly five to eight dishes with optional drinks, but they are not beholden to a fixed menu; the show remains flexible to accommodate a guest's unique memories and desires.
