Listener Rating
The Always Sunny Podcast is a look back on the past sixteen seasons of the hit show, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, hosted by Glenn, Charlie, and Rob. The guys are going back to where it all began: 2005. Starting with the very first episode, they’ll rewatch every season and give us a deep dive into their memories of creating the show, reveal how they first met, and discuss how they created a lasting partnership that has endured the better part of two decades. That is, if they can remember any of it.

"This podcast is as much an autobiography of the actors as it is an analysis of the show. The humour here is very broad, and crude. A lot of people will find it offensive. I’m a mucky pup though so I find it hilarious. It’s also a treat when guests show up. Having waxed rather lyrically about the genuis of this podcast, this is only really recommended for fans of the TV show. I mean, it’s literally a podcast discussing the TV show, so if you’re not familiar with that then it’ll be a pointless exercise."

"...this bizarre and hilarious podcast is often funniest when it doesn’t even talk about the sitcom at all. In short, The Always Sunny Podcast is fantastic, but it does present a bit of a problem on public transport. Do I just try to stifle a laugh? Or try to bury it in my sleeve as if I’m sneezing? Or do I just full-throatedly own the laughter, and risk the weird looks? Any advice from experienced comedy podcast commuters would be gratefully received!"

"The guys clearly love each other, and they obviously love the show since they have kept on the air for a decade and a half."

"...it’s a good podcast. It’s really fucking entertaining. Props have to go to whoever is producing these mostly freewheeling conversations and editing them down into a recognisable format that emerges after the first few episodes.if you’re even a casual fan, this podcast is a great companion piece to one of the best shows about terrible people on the air now or ever."

"Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton allay any fears early on, making one another laugh as much as you might imagine. The scoring is the same as the show, and sound design is nonexistent, so the content needs to carry – which it does. For true fans, it’s a must listen..."

"...it was rough in all of the right ways to the point where I hope they decide not to get too structured. I also appreciated that the trio doesn't hesitate to address some moments from the episode that may not stand up as well through a 2021 lens as they did back in 2005 (a move we're expecting them to return to for a number of other episodes). So if you're a fan of the record-setting series, it's a no-brainer for you to be checking out this podcast. "

"Most of the episodes of The Always Sunny Podcast are in a similar format/structure, so it is difficult to pick a favorite episode. In general, I really enjoy or find it interesting when the hosts either talk about their acting careers, or provide anecdotes from their upbringing/life outside of acting, and how they related to the process in coming up with the subjects of each episode of the TV show."
