I’m so interested in the stories, but the unnecessary interjections by the weird voice make it completely unlistenable

Funny, informative and thought provoking. Best of all, it’s entertaining. aj and Hecklefish are great together.

Look being honest I don’t believe 90% of the stories told, and most of the time the ones I do believe I’m still skeptical about, but the host (I forgot his name) is a great storyteller and always makes listening entertaining, plus it’s genuinely fascinating to learn about the more pseudosciencey stuff. Basically I love this podcast and if your reading this then I highly recommend listening to it

It’s a solid podcast. A little humor it some crazy stuff. And then you have AJ holding it all together

Great topics and fun commentary. Can you guys do a show about Croatoan and the lost colony of Roanoke?

I love this podcast so much! Hecklefish for president!

Love your podcast and YouTube videos

Just a great thank you for you and your crews hard work! It is very much appreciated!

Good job AJ unravel those secrets Love you to HF

You will need them to clean your blown mind off the floor, ceiling, walls…repeatedly. Thanks for the nightmares and Heckle Fish for President!

Great theories and good information. But the random interjections by Sponge Bob voice make this entirely unlistenable.

Love your podcast, great research, and great presentation. Thank you!

Hecklefish #1 no contest Vance got nothing on my boy / fish

The podcast is very interesting but the annoying cartoon sidekick makes it unlistenable.

I have tried to find a show similar to this one and nothing else comes close to this one. It is hands down the best!

This is the most entertaining, expertly produced, and deeply researched podcast out there on the topic. And what’s the topic? Take your pick! And as always… Be safe, be kind, and know that you are appreciated!

Very interesting but I can’t stand to listen to that annoying fish!

Great show, keep the fish ;p

Love your YouTube channel and on my always watch list. And love listening to podcast when I am hiking or driving.

The Why Files is easily one of the best mystery type podcasts on the internet! It’s balanced and fun, without taking itself too seriously.

Just a annoyance, you said there would be no ads in the mega comp called Dreams and Nightmares, writing this as I’m listening to the ad buddy, I can kinda understand but it’s a bit peevish for me

Stopped watching and listening when AJ started talking politics, and how the Trump admin “hasn’t made any mistakes so far”… you really should put on that tin foil hat.

This podcast is entertaining and intriguing. Thanks.

This is an amazing YouTube channel, and this is an even better podcast! The story telling is marvelous, the research and validity is incredible, and the knowledge is eye opening. Having the deep dives and the unredacted episodes are my favorites! Thank you for your hard work and dedication AJ! I didn’t hear the angelic voice of Hecklefish in the “beast unleashed” episode. Please make sure he gets to the studio and gets to work. He has the perfect face for radio 😂

Let lil’heckle know it makes my day when he says “Mt. mutherfawk’n Hayes”. Pure Harry Potter magic!

Love your narrative and insights 💯❤️✨

This podcast is so fun to listen to and eats up time

I find this podcast very funny but informative. It gets me to wonder and leads me to research for proof and more.

That second voice is most annoying! Not needed!!

Even kids find this podcast so interesting! I listen to them everyday and it’s amazing how (for a kid like me) you can take something as boring as history, science or time, and make it into something fascinating. I tell everyone I know about this podcast and YouTube channel! I get goose bumps every time I listen to one! And Heckle fish! Some people are saying that he is annoying but I think he is absolutely hilarious! 100% recommend!

A great improvement on Coast 2 Coast. More research, more factual, and topics approached skeptically. Thx 4 the hard work AJ.

Too many ads! It’s not worth listening to it anymore.

Very well written and composed 👌 Been listening for years, it's always a pleasure seeing a new episode drop!

I stumbled upon this podcast and have been hooked! Love it.

I love this podcast

Hehehehhehehehehe

Best podcast of all time. Explains the conspiracy theory, gives the evidence for and against with sources. Heckle fish reminds me of my friends in New England lol!!!

I enjoyed the show for years. But now the ads are insane. Listened to Jan 24th, 2025 episode this morning. 10 minutes of ads out of a 38 minute episode is ridiculous. Just another podcast I’m leaving.

3/12/25 - 6:50PM - CIA Notice - This podcast will cease operations starting 20XX Day/Month/Year.If you do not comply then you will be fined 250,000$ and more.We will find you.

This podcast is WONDERFUL! I love the humor and information presented by this podcast. Very well done. Do yourself a favor and listen. Thank you for making an exciting, informative and interesting podcast!

Best show ever. Now that I know Hecklefish annoys people it is going to make his off colored one liners even more funny. The beauty of having a sidekick is the jokes that would not come off the same if it was just you. 5 stars all the way. I’ve been tuning into the Why Files since your episodes were in the teens and there has not been one I did not like. They are all gems. The only thing I don’t like is when Thursday comes and goes and there is no episode. But other than that…Phenomenal show. It gives me an escape where I forget about life for a while. Take Care AJ, HeckleFish and the rest of the team. Keep up the great work.

It is a wonderful podcast

Do yourself a favor and listen to the podcast. AJ and his team put a lot of heart and soul into the production and the community of WF? Fans is a really fun group. I hope the content keeps going for a long long time!!

This is an awesome and interesting podcast. This is my go-to for intense storytelling to get you thinking about the space we occupy.

But for the stupid mocking voice. So annoying!

The show is well done, Hecklefish for president

I love AJ and Hecklefish. I like that the show can be very serious at times and light during others. My mom and I both consider this one of our favorite shows. 🖤

Love this podcast. I listen to the episodes over and because I fall asleep. Eventually I watch on YouTube during the day so I can hear the whole story. So Hecklefish…to all the naysayers…just you wait. You will change your tune. #hecklefishforlife

Excellent podcast with the exception that the absolutely nerve wracking extra voice makes me want to jump out of my moving car.

I enjoy the comedic relief of hecklefish and the sound effects that make it more interesting to listen to. My other conspiracy podcasts don’t give these things
