Hyperfixed
5.0/5
Critic Rating
Maybe it’s just a quiet annoyance you’ve grudgingly learned to put up with, or a life defining issue that makes it hard to move forward. Whatever it is, Alex Goldman — reporter, radio producer, and overconfident idiot — will get to the bottom of it (if there’s a bottom to be found. Results may vary). Follow Alex as he figures out not only the vast hidden mechanisms that create these problems, but works with you, the listener, to find a solution. Or at least enough of an explanation that you’re ok with the annoyance. He’s not perfect. Hyperfixed is...

"...it is just wonderful...Hyperfixed sensibly follows pretty much the same premise as Reply All and bottles the best of its spirit. Some British listeners will find Goldman too buoyant and American for their taste, but I think he is a brilliant broadcaster: thoughtful, curious and endlessly good humoured. It’s a pleasure spending time in his company."

"Though Goldman has only produced two episodes so far, the series proved immediately addictive and charming. I'm betting I'll become a regular listener. "

"What sets it apart even more is Goldman’s willingness to admit when he's out of his depth. Hyperfixed comes with assurance that the episodes will be interesting even if solutions aren't guaranteed, making for a listen you might not find anywhere else...each episode thrives on Alex Goldman’s natural storytelling ability and relatable curiosity."
