TStewartYay! A great podcast! Wait - only how many episodes?It was so great to find a really, truly wonderful podcast ... and so depressing to realize that there were only 10 episodes back in 2019. There are thousands of items still to be explored, Mr. Mandvi! Or thousands of other museums to get lost in! The world needs more of this podcast! Or, well, I do; I shouldn't speak for the world ...
-
Blue_CrabGreat PodcastThis is one of my favorite podcasts. Please make new episodes 😊
-
margofazWell made, interesting and wonderfulInteresting topics, well made podcast and fun to listen too. If you love to learn just for the sake of learning than this podcast is for you. Broad range of topics, lots of interesting interviews and wonderful behind the scenes knowledge nuggets. Really great!
-
HgruverWhat a find!I am so happy I found this podcast! Definitely need more stories! I agree with an other reviewer-hit every museum and make your ten choices count!
-
Not a SisterMore?I’d love for this series to continue to each of the various branches of the museum. So fun and made me think of familiar things from my childhood in a whole new way.
-
anne1peteHank1PeteSo wonderful, like being there only better. Aasif has such a friendly conversational way, making the podcast information, educational AND entertaining. Please, please, please, make more.
-
Nightingale3721Definitely worth a listenThis is such a delightful and engaging podcast. I hope there’s a season 2!
-
kduffy78Family FriendlyInteresting historical information. My kids (ages 15 & 11) even enjoyed listening to some of the episodes about things they were familiar with (like the BeeGees, Muppets, etc.). Hoping that more will be made.
-
GreenmelSmithsonianI live outside of DC and love the Smithsonian museums. I’ve been through them all, but there is so much to see. Aasif is a fantastic actor and hearing his voice is like listening to a friend.
-
Bc122Please make moreShort podcast worth listening to. Lots of fun interesting bits about American culture. Love it
-
ianbrazizzleA Buried GemThis exploration of selected bits of the Smithsonian's pop/entertainment archives is surprisingly wonderful. The surprise is that, although the individual episodes certainly contain the commentaries on society that you would expect, they take turns that you might not. And Aasif Mandvi is the perfect guide. He is both an avid fan, but also a comic with a subbtle touch. Love that guy.
-
Heyyyyy it's mimmikinzVery EngagingAssif asks the questions that we all would want answers to! The muppet episode is great. I had no idea of the complex backstory. Thank you!! ☮️
-
salodoSo cool for a history buffI love hearing about the inner workings of the Smithsonian, and the in-depth exploration of historical pop culture!

StrathandAasif is a national treasure!A podcast full of grace, wit, respect, perspective, and fun! Thank you, Aasif!
-
lemonfillingWaiting for season 2This is interesting from start to finish. Even the topics I didn’t initially have an interest in were good.
-
corieannbeckerWhen is season 2 coming out?!I really hope that there’ll be a second season! Such a fun show and great for family car rides. Also, episodes we short enough to listen intently yet long enough to really get the substance in!
-
Alan in MNEntertaining but ContrivedAasif is a very entertaining speaker. He brings a great energy and personalization to the subject matter. The social justice virtue signaling becomes predictable and repetitive. He works it into his narrative even when the story does not dictate it (like Jose Felciano’s guitar). Overall, it was an fun and engaging series that gets a bit too preachy. Worth a listen.
-
LindaJeaneThank youThe first ten were great. Each as fine as the one before. And so much more to explore. Hopefully soon!
-
Tulip.beWhen is the next episode?So? When is the next episode ???
-
JadeWalkerTop notch podcast -- a new fav!Are you a fan of history and pop culture? Then check out Aasif Mandvi's new podcast "Lost at the Smithsonian. It's informative, entertaining and really fun. If I can't spend the night wandering through the Smithsonian (one of my bucket list items), then listening to this podcast is a close second.
-
joapatLove it!I really enjoy this podcast because of the history and interesting stories behind the story. I hope there are more to come. Right??!
-
Sean in TXKeep it going!This is a great series. Good content and premise (telling great stories behind treasures at the Smithsonian). Mandvi does a great job of bringing the treasures to life. I'd really like to see this become an ongoing podcast.
-

-
Mare MicLove this!These are so interesting... even the ones I thought I wouldn’t be interested in! Aasif is a great interviewer and you learn so many little- known things about significant people and times in our culture. I am almost done with this season - I hope there are more in the works!
-
schnellkeVery InterestingI enjoyed the series and was hoping there would be more.

-
claralillyAmazingThis podcast is amazing, it is both educational and entertaining. I look forward to episodes. Some listeners get so upset about pointless things, and can’t even get Asif’s name right. Only complaint is that some listeners need to take a chill pill
-
phishguts101Funny and insightfulAasif is great at the museum!
-
swinginglyMKABravo!!Where pop culture and history intersect, that’s my jam!! This hits the spot - bullseye!! The host is a fantastic guide, the archivists are knowledgeable and charming, the exploration of the items (and what a great variety for season 1!) was entertaining, engaging and endearing. I really hope to see another season (or 12) of this show!!

lylorren18So intriguing!I love learning about the random things found! It’s so well done and the podcast flows nicely.
-
lolabrigidaMy can’t wait for showEvery week I look foreword to this podcast. The juxtaposition of Aasif and the curators is the best. He really knows how to bring out the passion of the people he interviews with his love and curiosity. Please don’t stop this podcast it is such a gift!
-
jukeboxjunkieFantastic! More please!Great museum ed. Great pop culture ed. Great American history ed. This should be a never-ending series as the collections at the Smithsonian could easily support 50 years of such a podcast!
