Says Who?
Maureen Johnson and Dan SinkerIn 2016, two friends—and author and a journalist--sat down to ride through the final weeks of the Presidential election by talking to the journalists covering it. They thought they were doing eight episodes. They were wrong. What started as a short trip has become a long and strange journey. They’ve gotten weird. They’ve made friends along the way.

- Coping strategy
As the evening news has I reached the point where I can no longer watch, I thank the nonexistent supreme being that I have a place I can go once a week and feel at least slightly better. The Says Who podcast truly is a coping strategy for todays world. When they cover the headlines they find a way to make you laugh at them more and cry a little less. Also Dan finally made it through puberty.

Apple Podcasts5QuintinGellUnited Statesa year ago - Fun, sharp, and
This podcast truly was a coping strategy for me starting in the pandemic and has been ever since! Dan and Maureen have terrific chemistry, brilliantly offbeat humor, and keep it real about life and the crazy times we’re living in.

Apple Podcasts5redwallmurielUnited States2 years ago - Pretty Good
The show would be much better without the weird character voices. I always end up fast forwarding those parts because I can’t stand them. The rest of the show is great and very enjoyable.
