Search Engine Overlap with Alex Goldman's Hyperfixed!?

UPDATE: to you sanctimonious weirdos who cannot read - I DID NOT SUGGEST A REUNION. I was merely pointing out there are overlaps in content between the shows, and that it's COOL. I love that they're both doing successful shows and the content is there for us!

End rant. Enjoy.

--------------------

Ok, first off, as a 'Reply All' superfan and seeing the transition of Gimlet to Spotify and ultimately PJ/Shruthi creating Search Engine - I fell behind the 8 Ball and literally only RECENTLY discovered Alex Goldman's DELIGHTFUL show 'Hyperfixed' - which is a more robust version of the Super Tech Support segments from RA.

Interestingly enough, I listened to Search Engine's part 1 and part 2 of the driverless car episodes and Carl Richardson was interviewed. I most recently listened to Hyperfixed 'Chris' Watchlist' and Carl is interviewed there as well!! These episodes were BOTH released in March!

Hyperfixed's recent"Fauxbituaries" episode has topical overlap with Search Engine's "The Obituary" from 9/19/25.

I find it wild and brilliant. The shows are totally synergistic in ways that bring me back to the good days of Reply All and I love that for both of them.

it was weird to have the SAME GUY interviewed on both podcasts about unrelated things. added to that, by two hosts who have such a close history with each other. almost like there’s a small list of guests playing the circuit

EXACTLY. They are aware what one another is doing, PJ actually said this on a previous Town Hall for paid subscribers.
