This is a great show. I discovered Atlas from the website, but the show is even better. Episodes are well explained in the perfect length. This gives you an opportunity to explore and dig deeper further on your own if you find what you learned captivating. Highly recommend

I love all the quirky places and experiences that are highlighted on the podcast. I love traveling, and try to work in seeing something I’ve heard about. We just visited PistachiolLand in Alamogordo, NM and the Casa de Azucar in El Paso, TX.

The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

I love learning new things, whether it’s new places or fascinating creatures or strange places, I feel like my mind can never take in enough information! I also love impressing my friends with stories but not having to do any of the research! Seriously, I’ve been a faithful listener for years. I love that the information is in digestible language and length, and I feel like the hosts are friends. Thank you for making us curious about the world!!

Fascinating, curious, unusual stories that will make you marvel at the wonders of the universe and uniqueness of humankind

I love this podcast! I love to travel and this gives such interesting stories and tales of places. They have managed to keep it clean. Which I really appreciate !

Came to the show via Sam Sanders and I’m so happy I found it! Now more than ever, treasuring outdoors and the joy of discovery is so important!

I like to do adventurous things, and when I’m not… and doing more remedial home activities, this is a good podcast to listen to, to learn about the world outside and the fun things that await during travel!

I absolutely love this podcast. So many people, places, and things to meet, to visit, and to learn.

I learn something new with every episode!

I’m new to this show, and I’m hooked. At turns, it is weird, funny, creepy, perplexing … and always fascinating!

I’ve been a fan of Atlas Obscura for over a decade at this point so when I discovered there was a podcast I was incredibly excited. I love the Atlas’s work to spreading wonder about the world around us and to travel journalism. More importantly, as a trans man, I’ve enjoyed the work the podcast has done to not only spread awareness of LGBTQ locations, but also for other important locations to marginalized groups. Thanks to everyone on the team for their work making such a wonderful podcast.

Always learn something new. Each episode is well written and informative.

My dream would be to work at Atlas Obscura in some capacity, but I’m aware it’s not likely, so I live vicariously through the podcast. With that being said, I’d love to hear an episode touching more on the Puerto Rican independence movement. There’s a bit of a disconnect as to who wants it vs who oppose it, and it’s a pretty interesting and rich history that could lend itself to a good episode. From monuments and landmarks to literature and music.

I enjoy the unique stories. My Go To when I want to feed my brain and stimulate my curiosity. Thank you.

The Atlas Obscura podcast is so interesting! Every weekday, one of the many presenters takes you on an adventure to somewhere! Someplace you’ve never been. Likely someplace you’ve never even heard of. I’ll never be a world traveler, but this podcast makes me want to be!

As a heavy commuter I rely on podcasts for entertainment throughout the week. I’ve only discovered Atlas Obscura fairly recently but it’s instantly become one of my favorites with frequent episodes and interesting topics I have never heard about. Thank you for giving us wonderful content!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I love learning about new places, things and traditions. I have now found myself looking for locations when I am traveling. Thanks for expanding my world.

The one good thing about the weekend being over (a new Atlas Obscura episode). Always a delight! :)

always interesting

I love The Atlas Obscura Podcast! They are a great length, not too long, not too short. I like all of the different people that report on cool places around the world to visit.

This podcast tickles my spiritual funny bone, and is a regular part of my listening delights. More that that, it has inspired me to consider crafting my own entries, of which I have several to suggest, and that listeners might enjoy.

Love this podcast when I’m wanting to listen to something fun ,interesting & uplifting. I recommend it a lot.

Great podcast. I enjoy the variety and quirky subjects. Well done!

Love learning new fun bits from people that feel like friends (very smart friends)!

I listen to this podcast because of your phone number, specifically the area code. Ok, not exactly. While I don’t remember where I first heard about the podcast (I knew the website so had name recognition when I did), I do remember being overly excited the first time the phone number was read. My area code is the same. It was assigned to me when I got my first cell phone in 2001. 315 is no longer used in that specific town and I haven’t lived in NY for many years but keep the number. It is somehow comforting to have had it for so many years. I didn’t start listening to podcasts until my child was maybe 2 or so. I loved that we could share stories and learn together - and what game-changers for bedtime! This podcast is one of the first (the first?) that I subscribed to that was for me. I like that the episodes aren’t too long and sometimes I do play them at my own bedtime - but don’t worry, if I fall asleep, I go back to listen. Thank you for your content. I brings me a sense of comfort & connection.

This episode made me smile, laugh, visualize and imagine. It gave me hope that there are creative and innovative solutions to housing.

If you like to travel and explore, there is no better podcast out there! Each host and producer has their own unique storytelling stying making this varied and always interesting! This is one of my “don’t skip” daily podcasts.

One of the most consistently satisfying podcasts out there. It’s a gift.

Tuned into the Skinny Houses episode, and I loved the personal touch that Talon brought into the subject. It was a fun thing to learn about!

This podcast has good information but it is despicable the way they normalize and glamorize animal abuse. For that reason I took away 4 stars. Too harsh, no it is not. They end to wake and and evolve as human beings, not only as scientists and/or reporters os science. Update: it’s 2024 and the show has done nothing to make listeners aware of the cruelty to animals done behind the scenes in touristic places, horses, sheep, mules, burros, camels, lobsters, and the list goes on and on. Really disappointed.

One of the best. Period the end.

I have really enjoyed this podcast. The range of topics covered are vast and facinating. I have learned more from this podcast than any other that I have listen to.

Love this so much. I’m continually amazed at how deep they can go on a particular place or topic. Most loved episodes include accessibility, supply chain or history ideas. Beaudelaire is my favorite producer.

Seriously, such interesting topics, so well researched, so well put together, just one of the best. Thanks for putting your curiosity to work to inform all of us about our strange and sometimes surprisingly weird world! Cinda

Thank you Atlas Obscura for always enlightening me on new and interesting topics. I have added many books to my list based on your interviews and stories. I have googled and looked up many interesting places and things talked about on your podcast. Your podcast is like a modern day reading rainbow for grown ups. Always a new and interesting story. Your podcasts fulfill my curiosity and interests. Please keep up the great work. Thank you again.

I like this show, but it’s like 2 parts content, 2 parts ads, 1 part listing names like Boudelaire, who can’t seem to decide if he has a last name or not. Why am I focusing on that? Because you give it too much air time. Flesh out the content more if you insist on making me hear all the credits every episode. Also, I have to pee after 40% of the episode running beverage ads. Sheesh.

Atlas Obscura is such a fun podcast! Even if I don’t think I’ll be interested in the topic of an episode I will listen to it and learn something new. I love that the episodes are short and sweet and cover an incredibly diverse array of topics from food to haunted places and weird animals.

The Atlas is the first thing I think of whenever someone suggests travel in conversation. I used it to guide my side quests as I crossed the USA from North Carolina to California. If someone tells me they’re taking a trip my first question is “Have you checked The Atlas yet ?”. The cinematic quality of this podcast is what began my love of podcasts. I always will be a loyal listener and excited to adventure with The Atlas Obscura even from the comfort of home.

This is informative, satisfying and delightful! I look forward to new and replay episodes!

Thanks. The show open my mine

Thanks for making a show that both my 11yr old and myself enjoy listening to!!

I’ve learned about so many cool things and places and love searching the website when I’m traveling to see what unique experiences I should look for. Keep up the good work!

I can’t travel the world, but I can take trips in my head with Atlas Obscura - and I always learn new and wonderful things that fill my soul. Thank you Atlas Obscura!

I love looking for and noting down episodes when I know I will be traveling to a location in the future! Every episode isn’t the one for me, but every episode is for someone!

I love traveling off the beaten track. Experiencing and learning unique and unusual things is my favorite making this the perfect pod cast for me. I listen to all the episodes.

I listen to this podcast every week. It’s fun.

If the world makes you curious or if you love knowing some trivial tidbit about a lesser know (or well known) place, this will keep you looking on the map for days... and might even compel you to visit (I shared "dude chillin' park" with my parents and my Dad insisted on a visit!) Thank you Dylan and crew for your commitment to the Obscura.

Commercials on this pod are incredibly long and for alcoholic bevs that no one wants/needs. Love the show’s insights but can do without the 3 minutes of “jack” advertising.

I listen to the show every single day. love, listening to you unusual places throughout the world have written down a few to put on my bucket list. I just absolutely love this show.
