    Mike’s voice is very relaxing
  • VictoryGallop
    Mike is awesome but….
    I can’t do this show or project because of Craig. There’s just something about his voice and laugh that makes it unlistenable.
  • Josh J. Fox
    Love it
    Found you thought WATP. Listened to a few of the newer episode and now I’m starting from the beginning! Great show keep it up. This is the one show I don’t have to lie to my co-workers about what I’m listening to.

    Awesome Pod / Great Idea
    New listener—going back and listing to them all. I really enjoyed the Ron & Fez ep. You are very funny on KMS —been listing for a few months now and pumped I found it.

    STOP INTERUPTING CLIPS ONCE YOU START
    Mike. I promise you, not once in the history of this show has whatever you stopped a clip to say been important enough to do so. Add it after.
  • Chompers Clubfoot
    Fantastic show.
    It’s truly a great show! It’s fun to learn about the history of comedy. And Craiggers is interesting too!

    Great Pod - original Idea
    Great podcast with a niche idea. Entertaining and interesting
  • Domiepotato
    One of the best out there
    I'm a gen Z kid so I know nothing about some of these old comedians and entertainers. This podcast genuinely helped me get to know comedians and their histories. Incredibly informative. Thanks!
  • Boston Capper
    Great Pod
    Easily one of my favorite listens weekly, I just imagine how much better it could be if Craig wasn’t on it.
  • MaddSnow

    I love Cottage Cheese. That’s why I want to try other dwelling cheeses too. Mitch Hedberg Starting at episode 1. I love Mike; I hope his cohosts get better or get lost.

    Audio
    The audio in the Charlie Chaplin episode couldn’t have been worse. The audio would fade in and out every other second. The pod is great though. Craig always sounds really dumb.

    Great show
    Right up my alley with this show. So many great episodes. I forgot how brilliant Tom Green was back in the day, even though he obviously ripped his whole act from Stuttering John. More Vinnie and Karl please.

    Level of Production is Amazing!
    AMAZING!!! The dedication and craftsmanship in programming and production is mind-blowing, especially when you consider that I think Mike is blind (he goes by Blind Mike). Whether it's a remarkable truth or an urban legend, one thing remains clear: the professionalism and extensive research poured into each episode rival that of a full-fledged team of editors, producers, directors, engineers, and yes, even a blind guy. But let's talk about Blind Mike, the mastermind behind it all. This guy is a force to be reckoned with. His hosting skills are top-notch, and his personality shines through like a supernova. It's no wonder this show is so addictive. If you're a fan of comedy and comedy/shock jock radio programs, I can't recommend this show enough. Trust me, it's worth every second of your time. Also if you like it he also has a Patreon group.

    Pioneers like Stuttering John are reviewed to show their incredible impact on comedy and the human experience.

    Great job. Recommend the Super Dave Osborn episode on Gilbert gottfried - he was one of Redd fox’s writers and had some great stories including and appearance by slappy white
  • Luke Gor
    Show is awesome!
    Great job Mike!
  • Ian Ferm
    Great Research
    This is how a comedy doc podcast should be done. Great takes on comedy and glad to know young guys still like the old guy
  • Lou De
    Dennis Miller
    Miller’s politics changed after 9/11.

    Why a fat review girl that can’t read ???
    It’s bad enough we gotta hear Karl’s vocal fry n vinnies nasally voice n now u guys wanna add a fat chick?…😤 Great show! Love it!
  • Tittysprinkles
    Great show
    Blind Mike at his best. Love the look back at comedy. I even tolerate Craig.

    Great podcast, but one comment: Alex Jones is not some legitimate commentator. He’s a lying tub-of-lard that has caused the surviving families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims much too much pain and trauma. Jones’ conspiracy theories have also added to the the division in American society and contributed to the energy behind the January 6th insurrection. BTW Mike, I think your podcast would be better off without your sidekick, Chumley. Maybe he’s good at making coffee or warming up the microphones, but not so much as on-air talent.

    Tell me a joke funny mam

    Super insightful and fun show!
  • StoneColdSlimSob
    Good show, great job
    Mike you’re amazing at podcasts, if only you could see how far you came
  • Scott_Raymond
    Great show
    Great deep dive into the world of comedy. Thanks Blind Mike
  • DXH1313
    Look Forward To Each Episode
    This show is absolutely awesome. Very informative but they keep it chill and funny as well. Blind Mike is a great dude.
  • barstooljoel
    Great
    I love blind Mike. A great podcast
  • xOneSainTx
    Why am I laughing? Beats me
    This show is filled with inaccuracies and fables told by a “blind” man. Is Mike even blind? Is Mike even a man? Is this even real life? As I’ve gotten older I’ve fallen into we’re already dead theory and we’re just constantly reliving our lives over and over. There’s no God. If there was Mike wouldn’t be blind. That is if he really is blind and not using a disability garner sympathy what would be a funny podcast. If we weren’t already dead.
  • Bsimp3340
    Very well done
    As a comedy fan this podcast is a must listen. I especially like how they don’t only cover standup comedians. They talk radio comedy, tv, and more
  • jgtycdr
    Great Show
    I know Blind Mike from KMS but this is a really well done podcast. I’m a fringe comedy guy but hearing BM introduce me to comedians I know little about and breaking down their careers is a really great listen
  • Sloppy Nutrients
    Title of the show stinks
    Blind Mike is the best. Craig….so-so
  • Matt.st
    Great Show
    Blind Mike & the boys break down comedy like none other.
  • bug122008
    Very Cool Show
    I love the angle of this show and the humor of Mike. Bobby-Kelly-Guy is better now that Aggressive-Joke-Guy doesn’t talk anymore. I also hope a good review helps Mike’s self esteem.

    Blind Mike won’t see this review, but he’s ok.
  • Jared in New Haven
    Fine
    Mike does a fine job even with Craig keeping him down
  • KevinFromBristol
    Why are we loving this pod?
    Hello reader of reviews. If you do not know Michael Geary from the Kirk Minihane show then you’ve stumbled onto this show more improbably than Mike stumbles into a salad. That being said, this podcast is actually terrific. If you know Mike, then you know that he has very little drive, passion or ambition. Yet at the end of the day, Why Are You Laughing is one of only a small handful of podcasts that I go back to whenever a new one drops. It turns out that Mike Geary is a force to be rectum with!
  • roylek
    I’m in tears lol 😂🤣🤣
    Love Mike always has an interesting take. Love his take on comedic greats!
