    Great pod with great "ads"
    Love the fake ads done by cast members and the host MEJ is a natural host and interviewer. Great mix of covering the episode and discussing the show or guest as a whole.

    Do something good
    I know I was late to the Good Place party, but I still want to say how much I enjoy and appreciate the love and attention every person involved in its creation poured into it. Including but certainly not limited to this podcast, which is, in its own way, every bit as carefully constructed. Marc Evan Jackson (he played Shawn) is possibly the best podcast host I’ve ever heard. His voice is delectable, his wit sparkles, and through all of it you can feel the genuine love he has for the show and its people. Listening to this podcast, even all these years later, helped me enjoy The Good Place so much more than I did (and it was already a remarkable piece of American network television). This forking show 🥰

    ESSENTIAL companion for your The Good Place binge
    This podcast is so great - some laugh out loud funny moments and lots of surprising background to one of the best (& deepest!) comedy series ever made.

    Truly one of my favorite podcasts, Marc Evan Jackson is an excellent host, and we’ve gotten so much insight to my favorite tv show ever!

    This Show Is Anything But Basic
    Hi. I am a loyal fan of “The Good Place” and “The Good Place: The Podcast”. The Good Place changed my life in so many ways, including leading me to examine myself and my actions more carefully. I really want everyone on the show to know how much The Good Place means to me and how much it helped me. I can’t even count how many times a simple quote from the show helped me through a tough time or a bucket load of stress. Thank you for interviewing all the people who helped make the show and giving us all this great knowledge and even more laughs. Thank you for showing us how much this show meant to everyone behind the scenes, too. And thank you Jamila, and Manny, and William, and Ted and D’arcy, and especially Kristen, for bringing this show to life and for inspiring me beyond compare. You guys are what’s good.

    Hello, Everything is Fine
    I had just finished The Good Place a couple weeks ago and I was looking for a podcast on it. And so, I found this and instantly fell in love with it. This podcast isn’t one of those “non-official” podcasts. This podcast has all the cast with laughs and goes into great detail. I like the beginning when Janet comes in and explains to Michael on what a podcast is. Totally recommend to someone who wants funny, well-organized, and great detailed podcast on a great show you or your family and friends will or love. And, The Good Place is great show to binge. 🖥📽🤣☺️😚😂

    Fantastic
    Started listening to this well after the show ended and it’s still gold. MEJ is the best host, and the structure of this is perfect. I listen to Office Ladies, Welcome to Our Show, and Parks and Recollection, and this is by far the best. Looking forward to listening to MEJ on the Brooklyn Nine-Nine podcast next

    Welcome, Everything is fine!
    Holy mother forking shirtballs, this was great. Marc Evan Johnson is a Amazing host and all the guests are just as funny as on the show. It’s just amazing.

    Entertaining, thought-provoking, comforting
    The Good Place brings me a lot of comfort, and I rewatch it regularly. I didn’t know about this podcast until recently, and listened to it all within a few weeks. It was so fascinating to learn behind the scenes facts. So much great info about special effects, costuming, and writing. Marc Evan Jackson is a brilliant host and it was a legit treat to hear the cast and crew talk about their time on the show. I laughed, I cried, and I’ll probably listen to it all again!

    Everything is Fine.
    I love this podcast and I love the show. Everyone is upset because the show was canceled, but you can just rewatch it on Netflix.
  • PraiseHimDaily
    Makes me miss the show!
    I love the in depth breakdowns of each episode. It makes me reconsider parts I wouldn’t have otherwise noticed or thought about as being important. I just wish we could have had at least one more season!
  • Priano nez
    M.E.J is what’s good!

    I’m even more obsessed with Mark, after listening to this podcast.
    He’s hilarious. I can literally listen to him all day.
  • Kirajean14
    1st podcast I’ve listened too!
    The good place is my second top tv show ever. Found the podcast while at work and decided to listen to it. Marc Evan Jackson did such a great job , i had to binge watch the series again. The frosting on the cake was to learn the director of photography is from the same small town that I grew up in and possibly had even been in the same pharmacy as him when I was younger. How forking cool is that!
  • Captainval
    Essential
    This podcast needs to be included with the show’s DVDs!
  • Nate Rumble

  • X-Pai
    Perfect podcast
    This is everything you want in a podcast. It’s incredibly detailed and hilariously funny. A tribute to a show that we love and they loved making. Kudos for everyone making themselves available to tell us all the little details. And Marc Evan Jackson, who makes absolutely everything he’s in better, is the consummate host. This is perfect for anyone watching the series for the first time or the hundredth.
  • DarkestBeforeTheDawn
    A wonderful complement to the show
    I’ve listened to this podcast time and time again. It’s as phenomenal as the show itself. Marc Evan Jackson has a wonderful podcasting voice, and it’s fascinating to hear about the making of every single episode from a variety of angles. This podcast gave me a deeper appreciation for all the minute details that went into every episode of this unusual half-hour of American network television. If you are a fan of The Good Place and enjoy behind the scenes content, I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough.
  • DCtoLondon

    I love it!!
    This is an amazing podcast for an amazing show. Marc Evan Jackson is a fantastic host, and I love getting to hear the directors, actors, writers, creators, set/costume designers, etc. talk about the show, and what goes into the smartest, dumbest, strangest half hour of American network television.

    The real good place
    It’s an amazing podcast since I usually can get past a 5 minute podcast but these 30 min podcasts about the show I just keep watching.

    Wonderful podcast for a wonderful show
    The Good Place is such a marvelous show, and this podcast is equally as marvelous. Marc Evan Jackson is a wonderful host and I will listen to any podcast he does about a show he is on. I have Brooklyn 9-9 the podcast in my list. This podcast is really great to listen to right after watching individual episodes for very in-depth behind the scenes info
  • five stars for all
    This show!
    I have loved the tv show From the first episode and MEJ did this podcast so beautifully. I cried when I watched the show and I cried listening to the wonderful creator, actors, writers, directors, assistants, props and wardrobe personnel, etc. talk about how they poured themselves into this very strange half hour of American network television. Thank you, MEJ. ❤️
  • SchweetPickles
    This is what’s good
    Thank you to Mark Evan Jackson and everyone involved. This podcast and this show brings so much goodness and empathy to the world. It prompts us to contemplate the important whys and how’s of our life, and inspires us to bring more light and wonder to our communities. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And hey- take it sleazy.
  • Waugh Wright
    Makes a great show even better
    I love how much I learn from people at all the different stages of production, acting, show running, directing, casting, costumes, everything. And Marc Evan Jackson is the best.
  • JulieLaugh

    He is a great host and the podcast is humorous and gives you a sneak peek behind the scenes.

    The forking best
    The Good Place has immediately vaulted into one of my favorite tv shows of all time. The companion podcast dives into all aspects of this great show in a way that provides phenomenal information in an entertaining, hilarious manner. I’m currently re-watching the series and am doing a re-listen of each podcast along the way. Love you, benches!

    HOLY FORKING SHIRTBALLS

  • kaybribri

  • trualb
    Holy shirt this is amazing
    This os amazing. MEJ is the best host of all time.
  • MehMehDoll
    This podcast IS the good place.
    I binged this podcast when I found it! I’ve tried to get into podcasts before but never quite got the hype. But this one was special! It was so much fun hearing all the behind-the-scenes info from the cast and crew. I felt like I really learned a lot about how the show was made, and the inspiration behind it. I learned more about philosophy as well, and each show ended on such a wonderful, positive note. Marc Evan Jackson was born to host these podcasts; he rocks! I’ve already found and binged the B99 podcast and now I’m going through withdrawals. No more TGP, no more TGP podcasts, no more B99 podcasts (as of now). Please, give us more, MEJ!
  • MegaHampster
    Omg
    I watched every single episode of the good place multiple times but I just find the podcast last night. I think that this is going to cure the empty space in my heart after the good place ended
  • PBC!!
    Quality content, host, guests
    Mark Evan Jackson is a gem of a host; guests include actors, writers, costume and set designers, graphics and more. The behind the scenes insight is intriguing. Love the stories and interaction.
  • nirebaz

    I watched every season of The Good Place in real time but just discovered this podcast. Marc Evan Jackson is fantastic. He is a great host and its fun hearing all the details from behind-the-scenes.
  • The Joelest
    You’ll cry
    Thank you for this podcast. It was an amazing journey. Now, it’s time to do some good.
  • MioRosa
    Absolutely love!
    Marc Evan Jackson is such a great host with a fantastic voice! He should put on a podcast that reads bedtime stories! I love this podcast and getting to learn about all the actors and behind the scenes! 💙 I will miss this show so much!
  • YouLoveToHearIt
    So Interesting So Fun
    First of all, MEJ is hilarious. However the best part of this podcast is his enthusiasm. He is a super fan of the show, and it shows. I love the way he analyzes the themes and talks about the behind the scenes factors that explain how the show is so well done.
  • j1990529
    Wish I knew about it sooner!
    This podcast is amazing! I only just found out about it and now the show is over :( I loved listening to all the details of the show including the camera work and hidden meanings that I didn’t catch when I was watching the show. The podcast is very easy to listen to and host is absolutely wonderful.
  • whybe19

  • Comixguru
    Take it sleazy... ❤️❤️❤️
    I’m not sure my words can express how much this TV show has meant to me. I’ve loved it from day one and my fandom has convinced others to watch and discover it. And then this podcast came along and just made my heart grow in love even more. Many thanks to Marc Evan Jackson for being an incredible host and to Grant Rutter for producing it. Lizzy Pace does some incredible recaps and Trey Buty (sorry if I butchered your name) edits them so beautifully. I plan to rewatch the series again a million times and each time I will still listen to the corresponding podcast episode. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! Now go do something good! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
