An honor. Thank you so much for having me Steven, this is one of my favorite things I’ve done.

Gave me chills when he said his dad was a good dad but not to him.. ❤ it’s when you reach that level of maturity that you can accept two truths can exist

[ambercollinsfitness]

My gosh. Josh’s emotional intelligence, out look, and way of articulating his thoughts, just wow. I really enjoyed listening to his responses.

[annalubbers]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how well spoken Josh Peck is?!

Steven, the people you’ve chosen in the past 6 months are people we have all been waiting to hear from… great interviews

[zarsewell]

I love how his Mom said he was a "surprise". He was fortunate to have such a GREAT MOM.

[jamborino]

Incredible podcast with an incredible guest. Josh shows emotional maturity and intelligence like no one I've ever heard speak, he doesn't try to hide his resentment towards his Dad but also knows it's not healthy. Massive respect and kudos to Josh, truly an inspirational human.

[WillHest]

I really like the way Josh tries to carefully articulate himself. To the point of using British terms rather than American ones so there is no confusion. It’s quite a rare thing to see these days.

[Theradiosongs]

Great episode. Please invite Drake Bell as well, especially now that Quiet on Set has aired...

[jordantaylor]

You’re helping so many people by allowing guests who we admire and look up to to open up and admit they too struggle. This podcast makes people feel like they’re not alone - and more so, how they can take positive action. Thank you

[elizabethashley]

This was deeply moving. Josh's honesty and specificity about his issues really connected with me. Incredible conversation.

[lewismatthews]

Wow, Josh presents every sentence with beautiful narrative and visual language. I could see and shape every story he talked about. This is such a hard skill to do well. Another awesome interview Steve!

[lindseypoindexter]

LOVE THIS! My inner child is so grateful for this conversation with someone that was integral to my childhood. My adult self loves the transparency.

[bellaveillard]

I did not realize the past Josh Peck had and the amount of wisdom he carries. What an amazing man! I loved this episode

[anonleeleichner]

Never heard of this young man before....but....I was hooked within the first 5 minutes. He is charismatic, articulate and so very real. I gravitated to his vibe. Well done!

[Joan-COYI]

What a lovely, emotionally intelligent, articulate, honest guy. He’s so real and he is very calm for a comedian! He isn’t full of himself either. I really enjoyed this episode thanks Josh and Steven.

[TheBigChallengeOfLife]

The way that you can make guests open up in a way that no viewer has ever seen before is what truly sets you apart from all the other podcasts 👏🏻

[evelyngonzalez]

Props to his mom for raising a fine young man. I’m a single mother. It can be done. Josh is a truly good human that understands life.
