Hilarious and heartfelt. I love everything about this podcast.

Jonathan Goldstein's humor tickles me in all the right ways, as does his humanity.

I’m still looking for a show that compares to this, and cannot find it. For a single show to be so hilarious and also so touching is extraordinary and uncommon. It’s simply my favorite podcast ever.

The phone call intro could be me and my best friend any day. Most episodes make me laugh and cry both. Brilliantly done, perfectly produced, exceptional program- my absolute favorite across the many genres and things I listen to. Love this show, please bring back.

I have a multitude of genres and am a dedicated daily listener. THIS podcast is my favorite! It’s the all time best, the cats meow-cream of the crop best of the best. … I just listened to a check in (April 20, 2020) and it made me so happy hearing Simon play the recorder.

Please bring it back.

The people have spoken. This podcast is a true gem that stands out among the sea of others, there’s nothing comparable when it comes to the mix of heartfelt stories, masterful storytelling, and Jonathan’s humor. BRING. IT. BACK!!!!

I could listen to these all day. They transport me and have the best mixture of melancholy, family drama, humor, & twists of fate. Please come back!!

It’s like Spotify hung up on this show during the goofball intro banter. Every story is great! We all deserve more. Bring it back please.

I can live without this podcast, but I’d rather not. Please come back with more episodes, Jonathan. The memory of your sister’s cackle is growing dim.

Love this podcast. Interesting stories with excellent host equals hours of intriguing entertainment!

Why on earth would gimlet can this show? Legit amazing content. Give them the $$$ and BRING IT BACK!!!

If I could only listen to one podcast for the rest of my life, this would be it. And I’m a true crime podcast addict, but I’d give all that up for Heavyweight.

Where are you? I want to hear more!

So interesting and sometimes heartfelt and profound. What am I going to listen to when I’m walking now?

My heart is broken that Spotify stupidly dropped this podcast. We are at a time when good stories about real people is badly needed.

I really miss the Heavyweight podcast. Please bring it back.

Love this show miss new episodes!!

Best podcast ever - we need it back!

Listened to every episode! Bring Heavyweight back! From someone that never writes reviews!

Bring it back!!

I miss this podcast so much!! Bring it back please

The podcast ‘The Retrievals’ included the episode ‘Another Roadside Attraction’ and I cried so much! It got me thinking on how people may have a different story about who we are based on what parts of our lives we share with them. Pam’s life was filled with so much pain. The closing statements made me cry so much and I’m still thinking about this episode two weeks later. ‘Victor & Maite’ is my new favorite and I can’t wait to hear the others!

This is a great podcast! Please bring it back! I Want and need more please!

Love this podcast and want It back.

I finally found this amazing pod cast. The first that I ever would have paid a subscription to, and then the next month they stopped making it! Why stop a quality show that people love? Bring it back please!!!

Blew. My. Mind !!!!

I listen to podcast constantly and a couple of weeks ago. Somebody told me to listen to this one, and I have listened to almost every single episode. I just found out that this podcast is no longer making new ones and I’m so bummed. It’s genius!

Why did the powers that be take this podcast away?? It was/is so brilliant. The stories are funny, heartbreaking and always so deeply moving. One of the best podcasts out there. Bring it back!

This is such a great podcast! It’s hard to describe what makes this show so special. It’s hilarious and heartwarming and manages to capture the complexity of human relationships in a way no other podcast seems to be able to. I end up tearing up during more of the episodes than not. Jonathan is a fantastic host - he’s goofy and awkward in a really endearing way and obviously pours his heart into helping the people who come on the show.

This is so well done and makes me smile, cry and feel so many emotions. And is also so inspiring: real stories with real heart. 💜💜💜

I love this podcast. I love everything from Jackie’s hang-ups to the Goodwill furniture. I love the feel-good stories that cause me to think about wrongs of my life that could lighten my load. I really hope someone picks up this show because it would be a tragedy for it to go down.

Human interest stories are my favorite and this one checks every mark for me. It’s funny, sad, heartwarming… all of the above in one podcast. I also find J Goldstein so charming. I really hope they get picked back up and can continue making episodes.

Heartbreaking... and beautiful.

My favorite podcast! When is it coming back on? I can’t keep replaying every episode!

I need more Heavyweight! Jonathan and the Heavyweight team are hilarious, the stories are touching, humorous and full of humanity. I’m often caught between a chuckle and tears. Love this podcast! Waiting anxiously for more.

I listen to hundreds of podcasts. This is my all time Favorite. After listening to all of Heavyweight, I listened to all of Wiretap. I then repeated Heavyweight again. I miss this podcast so much

JG and his crew are simply the best at storytelling. Keep the stories coming! Please. Thanks for the entertainment

As we live in a world that tries to simplify every narrative and put this person against that person this show became a beautiful reminder of our complexity as humans. The storytelling is top notch and inevitably there is some twist leaving me in awe. I really hope the show comes back- it’s been such a vital part of my reflections after I discovered it last last year.

Jonathan when you look back on your legacy, I don’t even know if you could fully comprehend how many lives you have changed with this show. It’s funny listening to your Dr Mueller episode when you talk of being younger and wondering about the meaning of life. Clearly you were meant to change so many people’s lives. The work you have done will ripple throughout families and relationships for generations. It’s wild to think a podcast could do that. Whether this show continues on or not, it lives on in all the stories you have honored. And all the listeners who found healing in them.

Came upon this podcast very late, but exactly when I needed it. However, after a month or so of binge listening, I have caught up to present and will now need Jonathan and crew to produce more shows, of equal quality, a little faster - say, 2-3 per day. But seriously, I truly appreciate this show - for the great humor, storytelling, heart and how it impacts my mindset. Edit - please come back!!

Wiretap was the first podcast I fell in love with and I now adore Heavyweight. Jonathon Goldstein is one of the greatest storytellers of our time and deserves more credit! Thank you for these moving stories Jonathon and Kalila!

This show gets better every minute, episode, season. Truly one of the great podcasts of our time.

Found this show a few weeks ago and almost done with all 8 seasons. Every friend/family member I’ve recommended it to loves it as well. The storytelling and deep human connection is so heartwarming. Thank you to the whole team disappointed it’s been cancelled - hoping a new home is found soon 🤞🏻

Hands down the best show out there! Now keep making more!!

I love this show! I just discovered it and learned it’s ending. At least I have many many episodes to listen to. Hope it returns!

I know I must have a curse. I find a restaurant I love..it closes A product that does everything I’ve been searching for…it’s discontinued A sitcom-canceled You name it, it’s gone. Pulled out from underneath like a tablecloth. I’ve never been a paranoid person, but something’s gotta give! Finally a podcast that holds my ADD interest, makes me crack up out loud. These people feel like family to me. Jonathan, his wife Emily, little Auggie, Stevie and Kalila even the hang up’s from Jackie. All leaving. It’s awful, where to go from here? Please bring back this Heavyweight!!

I love everything about Heavyweight…even the ads. The most hydrated he’s ever been!? It doesn’t get old. The people and stories are delightful - heavy, light, sober, funny. I will keep checking back for new episodes. Hopefully they’ll come soon, but I’m thankful for what has been created here!

I’m so sad it’s been canceled, it’s one of the best shows I’ve listened to. Working my way thru all the older episodes while hoping it gets picked up again.

This is honestly my favorite podcast ever. These small slices of people’s lives are so well handled and relayed. Listening to this is one of the few things that makes me feel feelings anymore amongst all the depressing news. I am so disappointed in Gimlet/Spotify and hope they get picked up by someone else ASAP.
