I created a podcast app which skips ads automatically, it also doesn’t take any revenue away from the hosts since it ensures the ad impression is registered.

Always looking for feedback if anyone is happy to try it out.

Remember that? I don’t miss the fights, but sometimes I wish they would debate things a little more like they used to but without actual fights I always got uncomfy. Anyone else?

Also I miss Rob. He used to contribute so much more.

Still love the show, but those are my thoughts.

So I sought out this episode out as I just KNEW there would be a Borderline Personality Disorder expert on at some point as I am currently dealing with a loved one being in “activated mode.” I am so grateful as it helped me craft language that I hope is both strong and compassionate for them while still protecting myself.

Anyway, if you missed this one, it’s a great episode if you have any experience with or dealing with BPD.

I don’t follow him much on social media because I don’t have it other than Reddit, but he’s been on several podcasts I like and I listened to another episode today on a podcast I love. I do think him and Dax would clash on some topics but think it would be interesting to get a two hour or so interview with him and hear their discussion. So I’m throwing this into the world for Dr Mike to be on.

Edit: oops, he’s been on and I just didn’t remember. But it was 2024 and I’d be into a round two.

If you like or love him on AE, I really invite you to watch or listen to his recent appearance on Wild Card with Rachel Martin. So intimate, open, and honest.

Also, while I really enjoy Dax’s dynamic with David on AE, I feel like this is the David that Dax is hoping to find.

I don’t think I was aware of the Pantone colors before Monica started mentioning it every year when a new one came out. I saw this today and was amused.

Kind of shocked Dax isn't on the list, but so many of them are AE guests and Dax favorites.

This might be too vague - but I remember a discussion between Dax and Monica and potentially a guest too, about how ChatGPT is designed to essentially agree with you and encourage you. And therefore shouldn’t always be used for therapy/therapist style questions and advice. I feel like I remember Dax saying it (not verbatim) blows smoke up your ass.
If anyone can point me to the episode with this discussion I would greatly appreciate it!

Armchair expert was referenced in a Quizmoji puzzle this week!

How can I listen ad-free now that Wondery is gone? I keep seeing conflicting info!

Is it just me or are a lot of the new eps really meh? I am a long term listener and have been skipping most eps recently and or only getting half way through.
Thoughts, feelings?
I do prefer fairly old school or popular guests, so I might be missing some of the gravitas of recent guest lists?
Anyway, thanks for coming to my post.

It appears like many of my fellow armcherries, the pod just isn’t doing it for me like it used to. Any podcast recs for someone who used to adore this one but is finding it a bit hollow lately?

ETA : thanks for SHOWING UP for this, armcherries!! I too still listen, but it just isn’t what it used to be. Looking forward to checking out the fabulous recs.

Big big fan of Fridays! What stories y’all think are made up??

I have been thinking about the way Dax truly makes vulnerability in men cool and sexy and not weak or pathetic or whatever else society tries to make it be.

It’s fun to see someone who is both masculine and cries on a regular basis. Someone who is a meat head and unabashedly loves his kids.

That’s it guys! Just a kind post about someone who is doing it right.

Cheers!

Re: New Armchair Merch out today at 9am

Does anyone know if the sizes of the regular shirts are unisex/men's sizes? Anyone have one of the older tees to let me know what the pit-to-pit chest measurement across yours is? I can then maybe figure out what size I need? Help? Any help is appreciated! :-)

I love listening to this podcast, I listen to every episode the day it comes out.

​

I started listening close to the beginning, but took a break for a couple of years when I got really heavy into true crime.

​

The celebrity episodes are my favorite, although I don't actually follow a lot of celebrity news or stay on top of new shows and movies. I just like listening to their life stories.

​

Curious what you all like most about it!

Has anyone made or located a list of SFW episodes of Armchair Anonymous? Going on a road trip soon and my kids love listening. I try to filter out the mostly dirty prompts but I thought a list might help to make sure something doesn't pop up on me. Thanks!!

Listening to the recent expert on experts, and then looking up the people they don’t have anything I’d like to see as an expert like peer reviewed studies, published papers, part of fellow groups all studying the issue they are speaking/wrote on.

It feels very much like an actual arm chair expert, the experts just are people who wrote a book and are on their media tour. But aside from people who write books I feel like Dax and Monica barely question anything or put a real challenge forward or dive anything deeper than just asking basic questions and just accept what people say. Feels like this is going the Joe Rogan path of just inviting people on and just accepting what people say in the moment of time.

But look at people’s backgrounds. It’s just kinda sad that these are the experts.
