    Feather feather
    I will not stop listening bc I love you, but… the way you read the emails really confuses my ADD brain!! I know you like to process them ‘in real time’, but it’s so all over the place & I end up getting frustrated after you reread the same sentence 6 times. I always end up having to rewind anyway bc you go off track (which is fine)… but if anything at least have your producer remove ALLL the re-reads you do. It’s killing my brain & I just want it to be on the shelf 🧠
  • AvidListener061
    Proofreading
    There are so often misspellings in the titles of the episodes. Celebrity names, places, or just random words. Please, please proofread, it looks so unprofessional!
  • tamswan
    Ugh
    Listen to your Dad, the singing is awful but the worst thing about it is that it’s not funny
  • EmVal:)
    lol
    Not a fan of the singing
  • GolgorothTheDestroyer
    YES
    I’m glad you spoke up about Mel Robbins, it was refreshing to hear your take. I thought she absolutely sucked on that episode and I 100% agree about the “yes and” approach to podcast interviews.
  • becaww
    Continues to raise the bar
    Love the podcast! New format with chit chat Wednesday is particularly great, the guests are all varied and interesting and Jared’s interviews are creative and funny. Great way to learn more about comedy for someone who likes it but doesn’t know a lot! I’ve watched a lot of great specials that I wouldn’t have know about otherwise thanks to these interviews.
  • lisareads85
    Love the adjusted format!
    Stuck it out through a period where things got a little weird in the show. Poppa JT has worked out the audio kinks and these short daily episodes are perfect for listening during a quick workout. Ticked off Tuesday is basically luxury lounge from days of yore and I love it! A little bit of classic JTrain with some new bits on other days of the week.
  • CRC12391
    Not a good look
    Oh what a shock, an over privileged white man & his maga parents didn’t enjoy the Super Bowl halftime show & don’t care about the symbolism 🙄🙄🙄🙄
  • Not a bot, NYC dweller
    Been listening and loving the pod since 2020!
    He gives the best advice! Add these pods to your weekly “rotashe”
  • literati4life
    Stop
    HATE the singing
  • Beast1710
    Vote Jared 2028
    I Discovered Jared through the U Up podcast. 2 U Up podcasts per week was not enough for me. I need more J TRAIN ! *WOOF WOOF* “DUDES DUDES DUDES”
  • IMG519
    Best podcast ever ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Updating my review here: Love this pod so much, especially with the update/change by doing daily episodes. I listen to it first thing in the morn, fav way to start my day. Also love the patreon episodes on Fridays! I’ve listened to every single episode since Jan 2022. And I really appreciate all the work Jared puts in by having a daily podcast. I’m so excited to see Jared grow even more in the future!
  • Sofie Draginsky
    I love this guy!!
    You make my day!! Thank you for your content!! Also ps please stop coughing into the mike every 10 minutes!!<3
  • Yogibearskins
    So fun!!
    I absolutely love this podcast! I tune in every day, Jared is awesome. He's authentic, relatable, tells it like it is, just a really cool dude
  • Alexaris123

  • NYCguyinLondon
    Da bomb
    Love the daily podcast. My favorite thing. Shout out V for picking my story for JTRAIN to read!
  • OceanWaves8395
    Loving Feedback
    Episode for 12/23/24 currently mixed “Mailbag Monday” with “Coffee w JTrain.” I was like… did I pay for this episode?! Also please stop coughing into the mic. Don’t shame people with STDs. Other than those things, you’re great and I enjoy this podcast!
  • Ashley👩🏼‍🏫
    Put your brain on the shelf!
    Four days of podcasts a week 👏🏼 Highly recommend the Patreon episode on Friday. Love having this apart of my morning routine!
  • Mboony24
    Love this podcast!
    I love the podcast and the daily format! So funny and relatable! Thanks JTrain!
  • Kkenney23
    Laughter for the day
    Love J-Train! The new format means I have something to look forward to basically every day of the week! We saw Jared in KC about a year ago and the show was so funny. Hoping he comes to Omaha soon!
  • CBmdTOBE
    This is disgraceful
    Shame, that this episode was released today. Unbelievable that Jared allowed this episode to be released, sincerely you should be ashamed of yourself. I hope you lose your job and bomb your career over perpetuating the psycho, dangerous nonsense coming from the dumbest in our society. I Used to be a loyal fan and I’m horrified by this. I’m a doctor, and this show got me through school, but has been a huge let down and I wish you what you deserve
  • juno lu
    12/10 TOT is MBM
    12/10 update: Todays ticked off Tuesday starts off as a TOT and then goes into MBM. This is me clamoring for TOT! I love it so much. I love this daily format! Please keep! I pay $5/month for Patreon. I would pay $100/month. Jared needs a TV show. He’s amazing!
  • gxfuijbcdrtyuhhvv
    Stars
    Love you JTrain!!! You always make me laugh so hard and smile. You’re the best!
  • AllisonM89
    Jared is an amazing talker
    Great talker! Super entertaining I love him
  • Carlsbad Mom 1974
    Love the new format!
    I am a longtime listener of the jtrain entire universe, but specifically love this new format as it fits my lifestyle perfectly. It is a genius setup in my opinion because at first, I was skeptical about having a shorter day by day format, but after a couple months in, I’ve realized I listen every day and really appreciate that it’s always there over delivering after underpromising. It is just so great. Thanks Jared.
  • A. Rodin
    Awesome
    Love the daily format, love everything Jared puts out, the best!
  • MLS126%
    Sexiest man alive
    The absolute best- the baby got it right!! His rebuttal to people’s choice golden
  • itsMur_duhh
    Favorite podcast
    Love that papa JT is doing these 5 days a week. I listen during my morning exercise and knowing an episode is waiting for me helps get me out of the bed in the morning.
  • emb515
    Mom here!
    As a Mom of two grown sons, i somehow relate to this 🙌 Discovered you a few years ago and have been a loyal listener ever since.. Absolutely LOVE the daily format. Thanks for the laughs Jared!
  • Linzzzzzzzzzz
    Love the new daily podcast!
    Brightens my day
  • regin-uh
    daily feathers for us
    Having a daily episode of papa Jtrain is like a light feathering for us listeners. Love the new format and that we got some singing back!!
  • Slept4lyfe
    Rambling Man
    Longg time listener. I love this pod, but since the new format it seems like he’s rambling to fill time, it’s about nothing and has no format. I feel like he does too many podcast. He needs to focus on quality not quantity!!
  • Jennysky21
    Love it!
    Big fan of all Jared Freid’s content
  • a_welc
    Feathers 4ever!
    First time writer long time fan! Love the daily pod, LOVE the BL Page Six story take last week. You’re so right and I love the insights.
  • Dani_____d
    Can’t wait for him to perform in Raleigh
    So I can stop hearing him say it
  • K_J25
    Pop Culture not my favorite subject, BUT…
    Love Jared’s thoughts on Blake and her “Q rating” and the PR behind pop culture. So interesting. And I would be so irritated if I was booked at a food festival and got no food 😂
  • sam rdp
    Love this podcast
    Daily format is great!
  • bellis723
    Stop with the “Likes”
    Prefer the daily format over whatever was happening earlier in the year, especially with that annoying producer. However, couldn’t get through 5 minutes of the Alison Libby ep since every other word out of her mouth was “like” and then Jared starting to do it too. No wonder she’s not that popular
  • AlesiaCS
    Great Pod
    Long-time listener. Always one of the first shows I listen to in my podcast rotation. Love the new daily eps so much. It’s great hearing Jared talk about more than just dating (although I do love that too).
  • SRegan90
    Fave podcast
    I look forward to hearing these podcasts every day!
  • KatieG127
    Jared is a pop culture expert
    ❤️
  • arenaud1
    the BEST!!!
    I literally laugh out loud listening to his pods. He’s so funny and so personable. I love Jared!!! I hope you sleep well reading this :)
  • BowliMo
    Daily dose of Jared
    Jared says the things everyone wants to but won’t. He makes me laugh every morning listening to this and we feel like friends.
  • Aashbbbb
    Look forward to it every day
    Funniest podcast and Jared’s takes are always spot on 👏👏👏 doesn’t get better than this
  • Jenperr87
    Hilarious
    Listen every weekday morning and Jared is so funny! I love the length of the episodes, the topics and Jared ‘s hilarious but down to earth perspective. Jared says what everyone is thinking even when you don’t realize it!
  • Marie Says!
    Love the new format!!!
    Such an improvement from the previous format! Content is hilarious, engaging and quality is great. All in all, we just needed Jared, not all the other fluff!
  • Lnn106
    Laugh out loud
    Jared is quick and hilarious. Fun way to keep up with pop culture. Makes me legit laugh out loud!
  • AmberJane9
    Love it but quiet mix
    Love the show, especially the new daily format. Ticked Off Tuesday is literally perfect. Jared is one of my favorite podcast hosts and comedians — always so normal and reasonable. Good host > big guest any day! That said, I listed on the train to work and this pod’s audio is quieter than all my other shows so I have to turn my headphones wayyy up, then switching to a new pod or to IG blows my ears. Not sure if others have had the same issue or I’m just lucky but figured I’d mention it.
  • vrelrod12
    New format is back to what we love!
    The January change was tough with audio issues and not enough structure and honestly just different from the original podcast that didn’t feel like it needed change. Loving the new daily format but mainly the Monday and Tuesday episodes which feel like the old j-train and coffee with j-train mixed together. All your best stuff! I still miss Shelby and wish you guys were still working together. Jared -Shelby episodes were the all time best!!
  • jersey1797
    Drab
    Jared.. why do the pop culture round up when you’re too far removed from this content? It’s out of touch, unpleasant, and honestly condescending when you harp on details that just are false and lay judgement. Like 50% of the Kristin commentary was that she was in a LDR. The Montana Boys live in Nashville.. stick with genres that people actually tune into you for!! There are thousands of very successful pop culture podcasts where that’s their entire career, and they’re great at it.
