  • Bummer now

    This was such a good podcast. They had six hosts who posted in pairs - but it was always a different pairing and never the same two two nights in a row. Now two of my favorites are gone and the remaining four are always in the same set of two. And they host multiple nights in a row. So bummed. Just found it a few months ago and I'm so disappointed in the changes.

  • Perfect for bedtime

    I’d been wishing for a podcast like The Nightly for a long time! A lot of sleep podcasts are so boring that I end up losing interest and my thoughts run wild. But this podcast is interesting and comforting, making it the perfect thing to listen to as I wind down. I especially enjoy episodes focused on pop culture.
