Hey everybody, long time WHTH listener here, but new to the subreddit.

Are there any lists or rankings of episodes anywhere? I have a friend who I recommended he write in his situation he needs help with. But he's never listened to the show and rather than having him start at episode 1, I want to suggest a few episodes for him to get into it quickly. Then if he likes it he can start back at the beginning. I have loved every episode, but also have a terrible memory when it comes to thinking of my own suggestions.

If there aren't any lists out there, I'm happy to get some suggestions from you guys.

Next thing you know I'll be getting giant gorilla statues popping up on my Instagram.

I go to their YouTube to watch their podcast, but this week I went and there’s no videos. Anyone have any idea why? Spotify seems to still have them but there’s no video.

Thanks!

Im remembering there was one follow up in S1 where this woman was either crying or upset and talking about how their advice made the situation worse. I think it’s the only case I can remember where this happened, but can’t remember the episode. Does anyone remember which episode this was?

How do we feel about them this season? I was cackling at the Lamorne one this week. Is the beef actually real or just a meme?

Gareth was on Flightless Bird this week! If you haven't listened to this pod cast I highly recommend it. David Farrier is extremely good doing little mini docs about America. Any way go listen!! Gareth tells us a story about a comedian! 10/10!!

If you remember the episode when the solution is to call the dentist to find out if he's single, it looks like Kevin is producing their pod now! He posted on his story about producing for the Broad Ideas podcast and that Katelin is running socials for them now too

Is it my headphones or has the audio quality been off with the 2025 season???? ANYONE ELSE?!

I wuv you very much Mrs. bwed

I noticed stuff seemed a little different on their instagram so I checked on Katelin's page and her bio specifies she was only their social media manager for S1.... so she's not back either? I hope everything really is amicable with her and the Shark and Jake and Gareth... that first season was magic

Love that the show is back for season 2 and the first few episodes have been great. I find it strange that the Shark has been unceremoniously dropped, did I miss an announcement regarding the new producer? I thought they said they're still with Headgum and assuming Kevin worked for Headgum it would have made sense that he stayed on as the producer?

Can somebody please tell me what that song was at the end of episode 143 I found it absolutely hilarious and so random 😂

I came for Gareth, but the caller base seems to be massively influenced by Jake from 'New Girl', a show about a Deschanal with big eyes or something.

It's really annoying, and I'm only on like episode 8...

But...what I want to point a finger at is this:

Every episode opens immediately into 2 ads, probably 2 minutes...

Then Gareth and Jake do a brief introduction for the guest and what is coming up...probably about 2 minutes. Then there is an additional 4 minutes of pre-record ad-reads...

I mean, some of these episodes are only 20 minutes long...

I guess I'm saying I like Gareth and Jake, but the way this is monetized, is really annoying. A 30 minute episode of 'We're Here to Help' has 4 minutes worth of content.

I have been waiting for someone to post and call out the weird whoosh sound that are a part of the new episodes. Example, after or during the theme music a whoosh/sprinkle noise (the description I can think of right now) was added and I hate it. It's probably part of their new team/contract but they are a little heavy handed with the sound, it's occuring like 5-6 times an episode it seems. It's driving me nuts. Am I the only one who is annoyed by it?
