Reply All is an American podcast from Gimlet Media features stories about how people shape the internet, and how the internet shapes people.[2] It was created in 2014 by P. J. Vogt and Alex Goldman, who were the show's original hosts; they had previously hosted the technology and culture podcast TLDR for WNYC. Vogt left the show in 2021, and was replaced by Emmanuel Dzotsi.
History[]
Reply All is an American podcast from Gimlet Media,[1][3] hosted by Alex Goldman and Emmanuel Dzotsi.[4] P. J. Vogt is a former cohost. Before joining Gimlet, Vogt and Goldman hosted a technology and culture podcast called TLDR for WNYC. Reply All premiered November 24, 2014,[5][6] the second podcast to be developed by Gimlet Media. The Atlantic included the episode "Shine on, You Crazy Goldman" on their list of "The 50 Best Podcast Episodes of 2015".[7]
Producers of Reply All include Phia Bennin, Tim Howard, Damiano Marchetti, Anna Foley, Jessica Yung, Lisa Wang, and formerly Sruthi Pinnamaneni.[8] The music is by Breakmaster Cylinder.[9]
In early 2021, the podcast began releasing a series of episodes called "The Test Kitchen", which covered allegations of structural racism and a toxic work environment at the food magazine Bon Appétit. After the second episode aired, accusations came out about similar toxicity present in Reply All and Gimlet as a whole.[10] On February 17, 2021, both Vogt and Pinnamaneni announced they were leaving the show.[11] The show was then placed on a hiatus until June 10, 2021.[12]
Format[]
Each episode varies in format, with some recurring segments, including "Yes, Yes, No" which debuted in episode 10, in which Vogt and Goldman explain internet trivia to Alex Blumberg, co-founder of Gimlet Media, with occasional help from outside guests.[13] In a variation on this segment called "Sports, Sports, Sports", Blumberg instead explains sports-related tweets to Vogt and Goldman. The segment debuted in episode 106, "Is that You, KD?".[14] In another recurring segment, called "Super Tech Support" which debuted in episode 33, the Reply All team—particularly Goldman, who previously worked as a network administrator[15]—takes on odd or especially complex tech support issues that the listeners or friends of the hosts have encountered.

Reception[]
The podcast has received mostly positive reviews, receiving an average of 4.5 stars on Apple Podcasts, with more than 26,000 reviews.[16]
The podcast was nominated in 2015 and 2016 for a Shorty Award. The nomination cited its unusual social media presence, including an event where the hosts accepted phone calls from listeners for 48 hours straight.[17] In 2016, the Mixcloud Online Radio Awards (MORA) nominated it as "Best Online Talk Show" in education.[18] The show was also nominated for a Webby Award for Best Podcast.[19]
In 2017, Quartz awarded episode 102, "Long Distance", as "Best Tech Episode" of the year.[20] In 2019, the podcast was named the best podcast of the year by Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant[21] and the sixth best podcast of the year by The New Yorker.[22]
In March 2020, the podcast released episode 158, "The Case of the Missing Hit" to wide acclaim.[23] The New York Times reported that the number of overall listeners to the show increased 35 percent across platforms in the days after its release.[24] Hannah J. Davies of The Guardian called it "perhaps the best-ever episode of any podcast" and "an incredibly emotive piece of storytelling."[25]
