Reviews

Ajibabi O. Oloko, writing for The Harvard Crimson in February 2018, called Endless Thread "addictively captivating."[8]

Eliana Dockterman, writing for TIME in April 2018, said, "[The hosts] add new depth to these Internet-famous fables with interviews, narrative arcs and, crucially, their fact-checking abilities. So far, they’ve covered everything from Reddit love stories to the opioid epidemic. The show promises to develop into a worthy rival of Reply All and This American Life."[14]

In April 2020, The Irish Times included Endless Thread on its list of "50 of the Best Podcasts to Listen to Right Now."[15]
