Dear Hank and John

The Green brothers, John and Hank, are YouTube OGs who started the Vlogbrothers channel back in 2007 and have been a fixture of internet culture ever since. John wrote The Fault in Our Stars. Hank co-founded a dozen educational ventures. Together on Dear Hank and John, they answer listener questions about life with a mix of genuine wisdom, brotherly bickering, and the occasional update on Mars exploration and AFC Wimbledon soccer results. The format is beautifully simple. Listeners write in with problems big and small, and the brothers offer advice that ranges from surprisingly profound to deliberately ridiculous. There is something comforting about hearing two accomplished adults admit they have no idea what they are doing most of the time. Over 440 episodes and a 4.9-star rating from nearly 8,000 reviewers speak to how beloved this show has become. It releases biweekly, with episodes running about 45 minutes to an hour. The show has a warmth to it that is hard to manufacture. John and Hank clearly like each other, clearly enjoy making this podcast, and that energy carries through every episode. If you grew up watching Vlogbrothers or just want a podcast that makes you feel a little more hopeful about the world, this one delivers consistently.
