Endless Thread is a podcast from Boston-based WBUR, in partnership with Reddit, that focuses on stories relating to Reddit posts.[1][2] The hosts are Ben Brock Johnson (the former host of Marketplace Tech) and Amory Sivertson (who formerly worked on Modern Love: The Podcast).[3]
The show has covered a large variety of topics, including R/wallstreetbets,[4] QAnon,[5] Geedis,[6] "Rome, Sweet Rome",[7] wrestling,[8][9] and homelessness.[10][11]
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]
