    Perfectly timed
    Every topic and guest and focus seems to almost be perfectly curated just for me. I finish listening and consistently say out loud to myself I needed to hear that. Thank you, Kelly and team for all that you do and explore.
  • Lauren from SF
    Love!
    I love Kelly corrigon wonders podcast. The regular Tuesday show- always an informative deep dive. And I also love the Friday “go to” segment and the Sunday “thx for being here” segment. It is truly one of the only podcasts I can listen to these days without getting totally stressed out about the world. It’s a nice respite from the crazy and it’s positive and uplifting and always informative. Love love, love.

    THANK YOU!!!!
    I cannot thank you enough on the series for aging parents. It’s as if you heard my conversation with my sister about my dad who took a sudden turn for the worse with one fall that landed us in a web of how what to do, how to do it and stay on task of my fathers wishes.

    Count on it
    Always though-provoking and positive and just what a person needs to fill their heart and mind with. Thanks, Kelly and team, for coming up with such great guests and topics!

    Thank you!
    This podcast is an important part of my week. Thank you so much for all the amazing content, conversations, and “think abouts.” It provides comfort and disequilibrium- both greatly appreciated!

    A balm for chaotic days
    Discovering Kelly’s podcast has been an absolute joy and her episodes have become one of the highlights of my day. I listen first thing in the morning for Kelly’s informative and uplifting interviews, insightful commentary, and soul-lifting stories. It’s one of the best mixes of content that I can learn from, with practical tips for how to apply this information in my own life, and a good dose of humor and fun on the side. Highly recommend!

    Hopeful and helpful
    I started listening to this podcast after the 2024 election. I was very distraught about the election results. Living in a swing state and knocking on doors for months leading up to the election and still losing by the slimmest margin, left me feeling badly about people - at least 49.9% of Americans to be specific. I felt like I needed to remember that there are kind, good people in the world but I couldn’t find that outside of my inner circle. One of my friends suggested this podcast. It was exactly what I needed. I needed to connect with other people who might also be upset but have found ways to muster through. Listening to Kelly’s interviews I find that we can learn from all kinds of people about how to be hopeful and helpful. I appreciate having a podcast I can listen to that I know I will feel safe. I know that when the podcast ends I will feel better about the world at the end of each episode. Thank you Kelly! Hopefulness cannot be overrated.

    Exceptional
    I have listened to so many podcasts beginning with the pandemic, as I was alone all day every day. This is one of the few podcasts that I have stayed with since then, sometimes listening over and over to episodes that relate to me most. Honest, extremely interesting, excellent guests, thought provoking, relative to all of us and our everyday lives. I highly recommend Kelly Corrigan. She is a gift to all of us
  • LindaCnTN
    Love Kelly!
    I listen to Kelly every week. I also listen to Kate Bowler (Everything Happens) and Lee C Camp (No Small Endeavor) So it has been fantastic to have them all be on one another's podcasts! Fun!
  • Winznik
    Amazing Podcast! So valuable.
    I listen to many podcasts, and this is truly my favorite. Kelly is a wonder, lol, and so honest, smart, curious, funny, vulnerable and touching. She really connects to her listeners. I love her capacity for awe. She’s an amazing interviewer and her guests are all fascinating and offer us so much. Such wonderful information and so many questions and challenges and thought-provoking and inspiring ideas and concepts for all of us to learn and grow and create a well-lived life. Truly an amazing show!

    Light to Positive Reflection
    In challenging times Kelly Corrigan lights the way to feeling positive. This podcast is filled with sincere in-depth interviews which are packed with ideas for a path forward.
  • Motto gator
    What a joy! It has become a foundational piece of my week
    Was referred to Kelly by a friend. Her podcasts have become something I look forward to each week. Informative, supportive, humorous and thought provoking with fabulous contributing guests. Easily one of my five favorite podcasts. Her year end summaries with Kate Bowler were two of my favorites for 2024.
  • GreekGal58
    Keep up the great work
    I am a long-time listener and so appreciate the time and care you and your team put into these podcasts. There is always something to learn and reflect on in every episode — and often MANY great nuggets. (Which is why the summary at the end is so helpful!) I especially love Thanks for Being Here and GOTO — shorter and meaningful and always worth a listen. In fact I think Thanks must be a unique offering in the podcast world, and not surprising Kelly does it so well. Also, my sincere condolences on your mom’s passing. The Thanks episode about her was beautiful. ❤️

    Kelly Corrigan simply inspires me to be better at life while realizing at the same time that life can be and is difficult and challenging and mysterious. Thank you for all that you give to me and all your listeners. Take extra good care. Bob McLaughlin Lexington, KY

    Curiosity about living your best life.
    Wow. Kelly asks such genuine questions about how to be a better human being. she’ll make you think AND make you smile. Love love love her podcast!
  • kphusma
    Essential listening
    I loved her books and similarly love her in audio form, especially the podcasts where it’s just her, although many of her interviews are great too!
  • Dutotadu
    Best podcast
    I look forward to every podcast and enjoy re-listening because I get something helpful each listening session.
  • Jules Netherland
    Deep dive w Kate Bowler
    I was so touched to hear you talk about the passing of your mother on her own terms. So few people are willing to talk openly about the choices we make at the end of life. I am living with stage iv metastatic breast cancer at 57, and I think deeply about having choice at the end of life. I’ve become involved with lobbying for a medical aid in dying bill in NY that would give terminally ill folks (with less than 6 months to live) the right to die on their own terms surrounded by friends and family. I’m volunteering with Compassion & Choices NY if you want to learn more. Thanks again for raising such a personal and important issue.

    Kelly is cleverly ushering in wonder. My favorite podcast! I especially love the varying list of guest—actors, writers, scholars, philanthropist… all of it! Thanks for sharing you with us.
  • Juntohnoca
    Like you got a friend.
    When I listen to other podcasts, I feel like they are “teaching” me how I should feel, think, and say. But Kelly is different. Every time I listen to her podcast, I feel like we’re “exploring” wonders together.
  • Erin1027
    Kelly is amazing!
    I’ve loved reading all of your books and look forward to your podcasts each week!
  • LM mom, PA
    Like a comforting therapy session for free.
    My most favorite podcast- have gotten immense insight from every single episode. Keep on keepin’ on!
  • Meg Reynolds1983
    Used to like…
    I love Kelly’s books and writing but not the podcast so much anymore. I have loved Kelly for years, the both sides-ism seems out of touch. This used to be about connection and relationships and now it’s basically a boring academic podcast. Please look up what Martin Luther king jr. said about both sides-ism. It feels so out of touch and theoretical and not practical and relatable like Kelly’s writings and her podcasts used to be. All these abstract ideas. I miss when you talked to ordinary people- like most of your listeners- about everyday issues and connection. I thought the abortion issue was missing a lot of information- maybe having Jen Gunter and Jessica valenti on the pod would be helpful. As a tenure track professor this podcast seems so academic and out of touch- I used to get things I could use in my life and for my students but lately it feels like it lost touch with reality. The both sides-ism is going to really harm a lot of people Kelly. At some point we must take a stand. One side is threatening to rape and kill the other and the other side is trying to make school lunches free and keep social security we are not the same. Please educate yourself on the rise of violent threats since the election last week. Are you going to both sides it when the gop works to revoke the 19th amendment because one of his campaign managers on truth social is saying that- are you going to show two sides for that argument?

    Always Challenging!
    I have been listening to Kelly for many years now and her thought provoking, engaging podcasts always challenge me intellectually and emotionally. She asks the hard questions and has made me reconsider many of my preconceived thoughts and ideas. I look forward to listening to her Podcast every week 👍🏼
  • Marykjensen
    Always something heartwarming
    I don’t listen to all the episodes but I’m always able to find something heartwarming and relatable. I love to share episodes with whomever comes to mind when I’m listening. And I hope they become regular listeners too. Great work Kelly and team - you’re making a difference in the world.
  • Tempe Dad
    Wonderful podcasts
    I love the introduction music and the stories shared on the podcast. I continue to grow and learn, and try to be a better human being at home and a better leader at work. Thank you for this wonderful podcast.

    Discovery
    Just two short weeks ago I discovered Tell me More on PBS. I gorged on Delores Huerta and Ai Jen Poo. I invited my daughter over to watch and we cried together over the beauty of the interviews. Then I discovered treasure of riches podcast. I’ve forwarded episodes to my daughters, granddaughters and friends. Kelly asks the best questions, the kind that I try to answer in my own head while the interviewee is answering for real so I learn from both the question and from the answer. I love, love, love this show. I wish Kelly would come sit on my porch with me & rock. I’d make her sweet tea or a margarita and we would be happy.
  • Dave Corna
    Kelly at Her Best!
    I have listened to many podcasts and always return to Kelly Corrigan. This new series “Shook by a Book” is a fresh idea and not the same old blah. This was Kelly at her best! Insightful, prepared and insightful in both her questions and responses. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy is an intelligent man as well as a thoughtful and articulate person. They were in sync. Brought up many memories and caused me to reflect ( Listened to this podcast 3 times)on my own journey and my own willingness to seek growth and adventure in life in my 5th vocation and still learning after reading the Alchemist. Looking forward to the next title in the series. Congrats to you Kelly and team. Dave C

    Softening the Heart
    Kelly Corrigan’s authentic and seemingly constant state of curiosity fascinates me. I’m a devotee of her weekly podcast and love that she and her crew come up with these topics that they explore over the course of several episodes. But what I really love, what I really look forward to, is a short podcast called Thanks for Being Here where just us regular folks write something wonderful and moving about someone who touched us deeply, accomplished something remarkable, or saved us from our worst selves. Kelly reads these tributes aloud and it’s in the alchemy of her voice and those glowing words that the world I know to be somewhat harsh turns into the softest and warmest sanctuary. It’s often an obituary, but sometimes it’s a celebratory graduation or retirement toast. It always softens my heart, and after listening to these great things that people have done, I look more lovingly on the world around me. I feel like Ms Corrigan is like this great friend-of-a-friend of mine who I don’t know well, but who I wish I could know more about.
  • Just Jelan
    Such great insight
    Kelly is both brilliant and accessible. The perfect mix for a great podcast. I often find myself exclaiming “Wow! I wish I had said (or written) that.” At the same time, I can absolutely imagine having coffee with Kelly
  • Mav14♥️
    A dose of feel good and perspective
    These episodes are like a shot of perspective to focus on the good, strength, resilience, adaptability and the greatness that we humans all possess to be the best we can be and to appreciate our story, others stories and that although we are all different we have so much in common that can draw us together if we let it and that there’s so much growing we all can do! Thank you Kelly for all you do to inspire good in this world and make it a better place! 🙏🏻♥️
  • Windangel9
    Great walking podcast
    Every episode gives me something to think about. There’s just the right amount of intro and chatter, then Kelly dives in with thoughtful questions. The full-length episodes fit perfectly on my walk around my neighborhood.

    June 9th
    Thank you so much for your June 9th episode. I’ve just been through the exact same thing, with a similarly quirky and strong mom. I felt it all so indescribable, but you adorned the experience with the perfect words. Your sharing means so, so much.
  • Sherrill K
    Listen to Every. Single. Episode.
    I can’t recommend Kelly’s podcast enough! Her warmth, curiosity, and compassion come through each interview. I appreciate her vulnerability in sharing her own personal story and I listen to every. Single. Episode.
  • Bakersof12
    Best interviewer
    Kelly is so good at interviewing her guests and it makes it feel like you are part of a friend group listening to a conversation. Easy, relaxed conversation with interesting subject matter. Excellent guest choices as well!

    The Best
    I can’t say enough about Kelly Corrigan and this podcast. I’ve been listening since the beginning and don’t know why I haven’t yet rated and reviewed it. It is by far my favorite podcast. Kelly Corrigan is the best interviewer and questioner. I share so many episodes with friends and family and look forward to the GOTO’s every week. I learn and laugh and cry a lot, and I love the larger community of curious, creative, and compelling guests I’ve gotten to know thanks to Kelly. Thank you so so much for this podcast Kelly!
  • Amymac40
    Kelly never fails to move me
    Kelly Corrigan is my go-to person in books and podcasts for her straightforward warmth and kind yet probing questions for both herself and her interviewees. She doesn’t shy away from the hard stuff and brings us alongside her, sharing her fears and foibles, giving us the grace to share ours. I’m pretty sure she’s my second best friend, she just hasn’t met me yet. Always worth the listen.

    Wonderful, insightful, cozy
    I love her style and careful structure she approaches storytelling. She puts so much love and curiosity in her interviews. The takeaways are perfect for my ADHD self. I’ve re-listened to a few episodes more times than I’d like to admit.
  • Pete-Phil
    My Go To Podcast
    Kelly is like the best next door neighbor - she gets it and is so real and shares all the feelings while also doing the hard work of digging in, being curious and bringing us all closer to things we need to think and act on. And she makes you laugh. She’s the bomb!!
  • Teta Susan
    My favorite podcast
    Love Kelly, so wise.
  • Fellow Spider
    Highlight of my week
    Kelly goes far beyond “interviewing” her guests and truly engages them in revealing and entertaining conversation. The fact that she finds fascinating guests who are inspiring humans is icing on the cake. But make no mistake, Kelly’s intellectual curiosity is the secret ingredient that makes these discussions so inspiring and memorable.
  • ;f;aie
    Heart opening and deeply human
    Kelly’s interviews and reflections touch those tender spaces inside of me, shift me into my heart, and remind me about what’s most important. Kelly shares with vulnerability and wisdom. This podcast is a sacred reminder of all that possible for humanity and the world we can co-create together. Such gratitude for this podcast. Happy 57th Kelly!
  • MCZ1425
    The best
    I laugh and cry in the course of a single episode, and I hold the profound insights and lessons of these podcasts close. It is the best podcast there is. Thanks, Kelly!
  • PKL Dallas
    I love Kelly Corrigan
    I fell in love with Kelly reading her book - Tell Me More. When I figured out she had a podcast, I had to listen. As expected, it is full of down to earth, helpful life advice aimed at making us all better humans.
