    She is so delightfully clever!
  • a monster!
    My favorite kind of comedy
    Atsuko’s podcast is perfect if you want to listen to something with pop appeal that is also hilariously weird.
  • Tamisha Francois
    Fun & Charming
    😊❤️
  • Gaytwon
    I am so happy I found this podcast
    I work from home and I have been binging these episodes nonstop. I found you on I Said No Gifts and I thought you were so interesting and kooky that I had to find out more about you. I AM OBSESSED! The game show is so funny but I love your one on one Interviews. You have a new #1 fun! Lots of love.
  • Ocres1
    A wonderful show
    Great show, lots of laughs. Twerk on baby.
  • captain inmo
    Unique voice and great interviewer
    Atsuko is a rare and unique voice in podcasts. I relate to and appreciate her experiences as an undocumented immigrant and Asian American. She’s free spirited and smart and honest. I think her interviews lately one on one with guests during pandemic quarantine have highlighted what a sensitive and responsive person she is in conversation. I wait for each week’s episode!
  • aballz44
    Atsuko-San ga dai suki!
    I love to listen to Atsuko. She’s an angel that was sent from heaven to make me laugh. It’s not possible to be grumpy after listening to this podcast. I think that if we met, we’d be best friends.
  • Kanarpski
    Such a fun treat
    This show manages a lot of silly fun without ignoring the hard stuff. It’s been really helpful during COVID when most of my “human contact” is podcasts.
  • Wantalimo
    The primordial Atsuko

  • Puerto Rican Demon
    Atsuko has the best vibes
    Atsuko is super chill, funny, and uplifting. There's nothing forced about it either. She's completely genuine.

  • krcola
    Amazing
    This show restores your hope in humanity and is the only thing i know that makes wokeness fun (as it should be—we’re all just out here trying).
  • linda13ear
    Love!! Refreshing, fun
    Love love this new take on a game show. The games satirize current events so well and love that Atsuko keeps it hilariously conversational!!
  • Listener in California
    You Definitely Should Listen to This Podcast
    This is a very good and very funny comedy quiz show podcast.
  • Jose HoseB
    “YOU ARE VERY SMART!”
    My new favorite pod, love it so much. Got here from Why Won’t You Date Me and then listened to the Andy/Sasheer/Nicole ep. The live shows add even more hilarity to it, using the thing they fear against them is so funny. Atsuko brings such a matter of fact-ness when explaining her reasoning behind answers, and it’s hysterical. Can’t wait for more, and maybe going to a live show myself. Also duh her grandma is everything.
  • Charmpants
    Hilarious Dysfunctional Riot
    I love atsuko’s sense of humor and the scrappy structure of the game. She’s has a charming earnestness and it’s grounded with insightful personal antidotes. Personally, I relate to her immigrant upbringing and so happy to see an Asian American host a comedy podcast. My only criticism: I wish Ryan would interrupt less with his personal opinions. it’s rare to have a program led by a POC woman and so it’s jarring when a straight white male voice talks over her and her guests. I have on occasion stopped listening because of it. Keep up the good work. I love a lot about this pod.
  • harpingabout
    So fun! So woke!
    I'm glad this podcast comes out on Fridays because it's a great way to kickstart my weekend! Just a truly great time!
  • Juliomarie
    A knee slapper!!!
    Let’s go, Atsuko! Is so hilarious and real! I listened to adulting is hard first, and was laughing my a** off in the first 2 minutes, no joke. I feel like I am able to relate to the humor and enjoy the real almost raw moments :) it’s really cool that it is a game show, I enjoy the set up.
  • emantx10
