    An open forum for modern orthodox dating discussions
    As both a MoPod guest and a listener, I think the MoPod (and MoVerse in general) provides an open platform to discuss taboo topics in the Modern Orthodox dating world. Looking forward to the topics and conversations in season two!
  • lizbiz15
    A fun, light listen
    Amidst the every day hustle and bustle, I love listening to MoPod which is always a light and refreshing conversation. Evan is a great host and keeps the chat flowing and interesting. Always a good listen!
  • rgf617
    Great Podcast
    Evan’s podcast gives a very interesting perspective on Modox life—dating, as you’d expect, but also marriage, UWS life, conversion, and more. You’re sure to learn something interesting!
  • MoPodLessProblems
    Interesting takes on Modern Orthodoxy
    Great podcast to listen to, interesting perspectives and takes on modern orthodox dating and modern orthodox culture more broadly.
  • Seymour C
    A quality listen
    Evan is the consummate podcaster—with insightful, open-ended questions that really get into the weeds of some of the biggest topics in modern orthodox life. At the same time, he manages to keep it fun and light. Awesome stuff!
  • settingTheRecordStraight
    Look forward to it every week!
    Truth be told I have a conflict of interest rating this podcast. However, as I am not one to write reviews for things and may only be doing so because I was asked to do so by someone I consider a close friend, I will nevertheless be blisteringly honest with this review. I along with Evan Harris run MoDate, a dating site which shares the privilege along with this podcast, to belong to the MoVerse. Now, Evan Harris may consider himself to be an expert in many things - celebrated childrens' book author, public figure, entrepreneur, master marketer to name a few - and while Evan's swelling head is slowly becoming a little too unwieldy for someone who is already so exceptionally tall, I can say without a doubt hosting a podcast is something which Evan was born to do. It's the highlight and focal point of my Tuesday, listening to Evan's inventive segments with guests which only leave you scratching your head on how someone so unknown(WAIT… SORRY HE IS A PUBLIC FIGURE MIND YOU) managed to book. So, why shouldn’t it become the focal point of yours. On a serious note - Evan is a truly talented, smart and funny dude with a voice I’ve been told was worth millions of dollars - so come on down one and all and listen to something which can leave you truly in a better place than where you started!

    Awesome podcast
    I look forward to my Tuesday lunch break when I get to listen to The MoPod! It’s super interesting and fun! I love that the topics range from dating to social media to sports which isn’t typically my thing and it’s still really fun to listen to! As Evan likes to say, “Pump the volume!”

    Insightful and entertaining
    The friendly and banter-like interview style makes you feel as if you’re sitting at a table with Evan and the designated guest of that week- always informative and Evan asks all the questions everyone wants to hear answered!
  • IsaacNissan

    Mamesh the highlight of my week
  • Eli3209
    Informative and entertaining!
    The podcasts flow smoothly and are always interesting on various topics that some are of interest to all not only to uncoupled individuals. As an example: I personally loved the Adam Neuman and Division 3 basketball podcasts. Keep it up!
  • jonathang613
    Different and Entertaining
    Every week I get excited when I see that the MoPod comes out with yet another cool guest for me to listen to. Evan does a great job at engaging with each guest in a fun yet deep fashion. I especially love the lightning round at the end.
