I look forward to this podcast every week! I hope he’s learned something new and helpful. Thank you.🤗

Excellent podcast. I look forward to it every Monday after leaving work.

Love your podcast! Thank you both.

I been listening to this podcast for years. I am glad I found it when I first began my hobby of family genealogist. Fisher gives a lot of great stories that underscore the best reason to learn about our ancestors- their personal story. He also gives great tips & advice. Love all his guests & experts too. Keep up the good work Fisher.

Scott Fisher, David Allen Lambert and guests educate, enlighten, inspire, inform and delight with every podcast! Extreme Genes is far from a monologue or interview based program focused on genealogy. Not at all! Extreme Genes is more like a genealogy variety show. EG blends history, world events and then extant real people whom we may call ancestors. “Fish” replaces variety show singing, dance, skits, guests and gags with story, characters, history, expertise and fun! Each podcast is simply stellar, multi-topical, fascinatingly educational replete with expert and ordinary guests who teach, inform and inspire listeners to keep digging into our family roots. Every Extreme Genes podcast is an extraordinary cornucopia of fun, historical/ancestral education, compelling trivia, interesting Q& As, human interest and exciting discoveries. It’s just the right length podcast too because there’s not a dull moment.

I’m an amateur genealogist and family historian, like so many others. I have learned so much from this podcast since I started listening several years ago, and it has really helped me grow as a genealogist and stay on top of current happenings in the the genealogy community. I would recommend this to anyone looking to know more about how to get started on their own family tree or to learn more about how to do family history. It’s also an engaging and fun show! Scott Fisher and David Allan Lambert do a great job!

I really look forward to this every week!! And have listened to all of the episodes So many interesting stories, and guests. Fast moving and packed with great ideas !! Passionate and knowledgeable about Family History. Good clear sound. Great radio format and voices! Thanks guys !!

I've listend to this podcast with host Scott Fisher for several years and always learn something new to help me in my genealogy research. Covers all the bases. Professionally done with a planned segmented format each week and just the right length to enjoy on a nice walk. Transcribed also which is helpful. It's not just great, it is the best!

This is the only genealogy podcast I listen to regularly, and I have tried many. The magazine format moves along without dragging, the features are interesting, and I pick up little bits to try out later. David Allen Lambert adds a conversational tone to the start of each episode, and featured guests are knowledgeable.

It’s a great show and a great way to stay caught up with the world of family history and genealogy. I’ve been doing genealogy for 45 years, and I always learn something new. I never miss an episode. Great for experts and beginners alike.

Scott Fisher is an amazing host. He brings on guests who are inspirational and motivational with the stories they share. I enjoy the tips and strategies. Because of this show I have more fully documented information in my tree as I’ve learned new tips. I would highly recommend this podcast, and once you start, go back and listen to all of the episodes as they each contain gems of information.

Always entertaining and informative.

This is my favorite podcast, full of interesting stories and great tips to help with genealogy research. Scott’s enthusiasm for genealogy is contagious. The guests are excellent and I especially like when David Allen Lambert joins in. I have not been able to do much in person research but have been researching from home for over a decade. Being able to listen to this podcast gives me a sense of community. Keep up the great work!!

Love the show! Always entertaining and filled with lot of great information and more. Really enjoy hearing the section from NEHGS.

I have been listening to this podcast for the past few years and there are always interesting guests and relevant topics pertaining to genealogy research. Fisher is a wonderful and knowledgeable host, and I truly look forward to each new episode!

There us some good info on this podcast, but I can't listen to it unless my hands are free to ff past the ads, which means I seldom add it to my playlist. Every one of those tired old ads has something extremely annoying about it! One example: "When's the last time you...If the reason is..." Reason for what??? The ad assumes a certain answer to the question, which is poor writing! Simply adding, "If it's been a while because..." would help mitigate the problem with that ad. And the ad that claims knowing about family history makes for better academic progress? Nonsense. The premise ignores the fact that (if it's even true) it's because of other factors about the types of families in which a study of family genealogy is likely, not because introducing family history to a kid will improve grades. I could go on, but you get the idea. And even non BS ads get annoying after endless repetition. Get new ads!

Podcast listener here and this is my favorite genealogy show. The interviews with real people about their own genealogical and historical research and discoveries are so fascinating. I’m always sharing these shows with non-geni friends and family (especially while driving), and they get just as excited hearing these stories as I do. Thanns for all the great shows and I’m happy to keep on listening and sharing!

Love the show. Great content each week!

Interesting podcast with interesting guests. Would have rated this as a five, except for the following: 1 Star reduced for the “Preservation Authority” segment that accounts for the last 10 minutes of every show. After a few episodes, I quickly realized that I would be consistently skipping this segment. It’s basically an extended commercial in the guise of, “I’m going to tell you how to do this yourself, but if you want a professional, you can always send the work to us.” The credibility of this segment would be GREATLY improved by having a guest each week, possibly from one of the many libraries or state archives to provide tips from truly professional archivists. With 52 states, you’d think you could fill up a year’s worth of shows with a guest from one of the state archives for each week. Half a Star was deducted for the inclusion of an inordinate number of commercials. At least 15 minutes of each podcast is nothing but commercials. To retain podcast subscribers, the number of commercials needs to be reduced.... charge more for the commercial time to compensate, if necessary, but the ratio between real content and commercials is way out of whack. Finally, another half Star was reduced because the podcast is over-produced.... Loud music that goes on too long, corny attempts at humor, and a little too much of a 1970’s radio announcer voice were big turn off’s for me at first. I’ve learned to accept it, because the news segment and guests are interesting. In summary, this is definitely a good podcast, and I am a loyal listener. I recommend the podcast, but I did want to provide some concrete ideas on how I think it could be improved.

I truly enjoy this Genealogy podcast. Fisher is a great host and he has a great format. Well worth you time!

I just started listening to Fisher and I am so glad I did. His show is interesting , educational and knowledgeable . Anyone interested in genealogy should listen to this podcast!

Fisher keeps it going in a lively fashion. He always has relevant guests and at times the interviews are a wee short. Would love to keep this one like it is but have him do another podcast maybe every other month that might me one or two interviews extended with relevant topics. This is one of my top favorite podcasts

Fisher is a talented radio man and his regular guests, David Allen Lambert and Tom Perry, are very knowledgeable. Thank you for the fun podcast!

I like Fisher's format although the commercials are a bit boring every episode. That said, I have used some of his advertisers so they are not worthless, just aa touch boring. All in all, a geat listen and learn podcast.

I have scoured the podcast world for genealogy podcasts and find this one to be the best. Professional, fast moving, informative and downright entertaining. I highly recommend you check out and subscribe if you are a newbie or a seasoned researcher.

Fisher offers such a well organized podcast around a variety of different Genealogical topics. It's a fun and helpful podcast for sure. I highly recommend it!

I enjoy watching

Fascinating topics, well produced, but I just sat through 10 minutes of ads!

Covers many topics and has some great guests. Also love all the tips on preservation and audio helps. Good all round podcast. Love it.

Really enjoy this podcast !
