thanks John now im crying at the gym
One of the most beautiful podcast episodes I've had the pleasure and privilege of listening to. John Green is a brilliant writer and thinker.
Thank you so much for this :)
💙👏
what the heck are you talking about at the start..? why would you be so rude to someone? why are you even having lunch with this person if you think so little of him?
The review of the seed potatoes of Leningrad was so moving
I also thank Sarah for suggesting you write a review of signing your name 250,000 times. It was stunningly beautiful
Such a touching episode. Thank you.
A chapter from the book?
I'm so, so glad for listening to you again <3 As always, this podcast offered me an intimate and profound perspective about our history, shared experiences and the challenges of the construction and spread of knowledge and technology around the world. Thank you!
I’m so glad this podcast is back (for a little while)! I love this show.
lmao you dead
This podcast is amazingg, thank you soo muchh John!!
Need to pre-order the book
Hello, Mr. Green! I'd like to know when you are coming back with the podcast! I miss it!
Is this amazing podcast going to continue? - I hope.
I will miss this show very much.
i like the ads as much as the show.
Thank you for the inspiring words.
Thank you so much John. ❤️
Thank you for this amazing podcast.
Thank you
That was a beautiful summation and I pray you come back soon with more, I wonder in the mean time if you could choose another author to carry on the show in your absence, I suggest Jonathan saffron foer or Bill bryson.
Thank you for letting us in, it was good while it lasted
While I'm sad to see it go for now, I would rather have the show being written from a place of sincerety and passion than out of obligation. I hope to see it return someday but desire, health, and passion must come first. Thank you for all you've done so far John as well as all the people who edit and help make it possible.
2020 really is the worst year ever. Now this is leaving me too?
I've devastated. I've only just discovered this podcast. You've actually inspired me to start writing. Take care of yourself, I'm glad to hear you won't be spreading yourself too thin any more. I'll await your return.
finally the has come when john goes meta.😂
I've just seen the title yet..but man, this is going to be soooo worth it.
I get lost when I am listening to this podcast.
A new favorite
What an amazing episode with 2 great stories. And his voice is just magical.
Wow, the importance of those seed potatoes, the sacrifice humans are able to make for those in the future
first
Tears, literal tears for the 2nd story. Absolutely loved it.

I'm not crying. You're crying. Shut up.
