  • 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.
