Hazel_WilsonAnnie!!Long time listener. Annie just gets better and better. Came for enneasummer, stayed for thought provoking discussions from a down to earth, Jesus loving woman who always strives to be the best her.
-
Re-naynayMy favorite podcast!!!I have been listening for about 7 years. Listening to Annie is a like having a great conversation with a good friend. She is so genuine and fun, but also loves Jesus BIG and encourages all of us to do the same through the conversations with the guests she has on. I highly recommend!!
-
jillmickelson08Boston hereI just wanted to say I loved the Annie and Eddie episode talking about baseball. I’m born and raised outside of Boston. Went to school and lived in Boston. I saw the Red Sox win the world series in 2004. I’ve never seen so many grown men cry! But Eddie is right, you need to experience Fenway at least once in your life! The people are what make it.
-
ashnoelle21Never enough Annie + EddieI love almost all of Annie’s shows, but I adore Annie + Eddie together! Glad we get them once a month, but I would love even more!
-
JHarringtonWPHad Me LOLingI just listened to the episode with Erin Hicks-Moon. Let me tell you, in the middle of all your serious talks about church hurt, asking questions, grief etc- you had me CRACKIN’ up! You got a new fan.
-
Dawn7523Questionable at times?I absolutely love Annie and her love for the Lord and for people! I also really enjoy Annie & Eddie keep talking. However, it seems sometimes.. like on today’s show Eddie will say certain things that are immoral and unnecessary. I wasn’t sure why Eddie would refer to Brokeback Mountain today. It was disappointing. Most of Annie’s audience are Bible based Believers who like to have fun, but without crossing a line. I hope this will be taken into consideration. Thank you Annie!
-
mrschelsShe is the best!!!Thank you Annie for being the perfect podcast!! I love your “always Annie” updates. I love that you have opened your self up to so many cities and opportunities. It inspires me to open my self up too. Thank you so much!
-
ellencstiebsLindsay LettersI cannot say enough good things about the interview with Lindsay Sherbondy. I’ve followed her for years and own her art. I am in awe of her and thankful for this episode.
-
katherine krosleyConsistently Spirit-filledThis podcast and Annie’s words are somewhere the Spirit shows up for me so often. The conversations are raw and real and hopeful. The tone is gentle, kind, and fun. I love Annie and how she speaks truth and love over so many!
-
K.L.W.Annie and team we love youGosh this is my go to podcast when I need to think about positive things, be reminded of Truth, relax, and learn new things. I love the spectrum of guests you guys bring on. I also am keenly aware of what an excellent interviewer and question asked and host you are, Annie. Everything from your timing, to your PERFECT tone of voice allows your audience to unfold and open up for us to hear. You also allow your authentic self to come through and that’s why WELOVEYOU! I hope Annie sees this and knows I am rooting for her to be the next Kelly Clarkson or Oprah or Kelly Ripa 🫶🏼❤️
-
EE2140Love thisI love this podcast. Annie truly makes each episode fun, but with also wisdom, encouragement, and important topics. Really grateful for the work done by Annie and the TSF team.
-
Somebody AmazingA light-hearted and deeply-encouraging podcast!I love this podcast, I pop it in while cooking dinner and it gives me happy feelings + the dose of Jesus that I need. My daughter always says, “are you listening to Thaaat Sooounds Fuuuuun?” (she sings the tune 🥰) thank you Annie! Your voice is such a happy part of my day and your heart to serve us is beautiful!
-
TWPooleFeels Like HomeThis podcast is a safe space to explore the fun, amazing, and not-always-easy aspects of life and faith in Jesus. Annie, her guests, and their conversations provide encouraging, challenging, and genuine biblical truths and perspectives. Whether you want to laugh, cry, or both at the same time, this is the podcast for you. Thankful for Annie’s (and her team’s) “yes” to show up here every week to love us, teach us, and walk with us through this crazy thing called life. Listen now!
-
clking5Literally the best!!My most favorite show to listen to!!! There are so many good people on, and I’ve learned about so many new books because of these episodes ☺️ The conversations are real and genuine; I don’t miss an episode!!

LindseykbNew favorite!So glad I came across this! I love listening to it while working out or driving. The conversations are so fun, but also encouraging with snippets of Christ throughout.
-
RlyrehcAnnie is your new best friend!!I love listening to Annie! She is so real and is honest about her heartaches. So much so, that it feels like you are chatting with a dear friend. I listen to this show in order to get some positive input in a very negative world.
-
AmiVLUplifting and helpful!I’m newish to your podcast and love Charles Martin books so had to listen to his most recent interview with you. Wow! Had no idea how he was “chosen” and inspired to write this series. I was in my car and literally said woah out loud! Chills. Thank you!

-
Jdub:-)22Seriously funAnnie talks to her friends and friends of friends, etc, all fascinating people who dole out the wisdom that the Lord gives them without limit, and brings all of her Enneagram 7-ness to us making for episode after episode of good fun. I started with Episode 1 and am in the mid 150s. Somewhere in there you buried me Ms. Downs since you’ve now got more than 700 episodes. If that was your plan, it worked :-)
-
ClcarsonGood guests, solid thinkingEnjoyable conversations
-
karisamichelleMy favorite podcast ❤️I discovered Annie in 2019 during a summer enneagram series, and I’ve never looked back! I look forward to her podcasts each week. I love hearing her interview artists, celebrities, theologians, authors, etc. Listening to her interviews feels like listening to a friend talk, and I love how she’s authentically herself! My life has been changed because of this show, specifically because of episodes 304 and 464!
-

JLM1286This is a never miss show for meI found Annie when my middle child was an infant and I feel like I “met” Annie and she was immediately staying up keeping us company through the night! 🤣 Annie’s (and several on the TSF network) are never miss shows for me. Thanks for the fun, laughter, and meaningful faith conversation. Your show helps keep the right things front of mind!

jackiemags11Big AFD fan!I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2019. Annie is fun and thoughtful as she interviews her guests. Each week I’m encouraged by her questions and her guests responses. She’s always pointing me towards Jesus. I’d highly recommend this show!
-
Spolch14Big Fan!I have been listening to “That Sounds Fun” for years, and will continue to listen as long as Annie and her crew are able to produce it! I’ve been lead to so many resources that have expanded my thoughts and beliefs, while always being pointed back to the truth of Jesus. Thankful that she is willing to host a wide variety of people, as it makes me a better human to learn from other humans!
-
Drake and AbbyLike drinking a cup of chai with friends!This is my very favorite podcast. I listen to it each day it’s released and I quote it often. I learn so much and am so thankful for being able to listen to Annie F Downs ask tough or thought provoking questions. Love this!
-
KJSaadThe BestTuning into That Sounds Fun is a highlight of my week. I love that Annie talks about real life with her guests. She’s so relatable and honest. Hanging out with Annie F Downes and her friends is also a good use of my time.
-
Sarai_PAmazing!This podcast has been so helpful in my new walk with God. It’s an easier way to get to connect with Him through authors, artists, and whomever else Annie has on. So funny, yet also I walk away learning something new about myself and how to be a better human. Annie knows how to make you feel like it’s a casual conversation with friends over coffee, and that you’ve known her all along. Love this!
-
magrestTimely contentAnnie consistently provides content and interviews with authors and professionals that provide insightful and helpful strategies to consider as we navigate these challenging and confusing times. Thank you Annie!

Keaton&AshleyANNIE IS THE BESTLove this show!

Laura D FWonderfulAFD is my favorite podcaster. She speaks from the heart with such truth, honesty and integrity. I always look forward to every episode. She’s been an inspiration to young and old.
-
kait (1)My first podcastTSF was the first podcast I ever got into. I LOVED it! I listened to every episode as it came out and back listened to one’s before my time. Lately, it does feel like the show is just a commercial for people’s books. Episode after episode seems to just be about someone coming on and promoting their book. My favorite episodes are when topics are discussed without trying to sell us something. The Indigenous Peoples episodes, the singleness episode, the fasting episode, Mike Kelsey’s episodes are the ones I’ve loved lately. I still give it 5 stars bc the quality is great and I hope for TSF to get back to meaningful conversations, not just promotional opportunities.
-
Christy with a CPrimal QuestionsJust wow on this episode!!! This opened a whole new path once I figured out my “yes” question! Great episode!!
-
E AndrewsIf I could only listen to one podcast for the rest of my life…Not to be dramatic but Annie F Downs' "That Sounds Fun" podcast is life changing. Annie is so relatable. She is authentic and humble and hilarious. I feel like I am her friend and that we are learning and doing life TOGETHER. She cultivates engaging content and stewards her platform with grace and excellence. I cannot say enough good things about her and this podcast!
-
Corrine0618Love it!I love that this show is FUNNY and helps me grow in my faith!
-
sjmcclusAuthentic. Diverse. Jesus.Annie is kind, gracious, and FUN! She includes guests from diverse backgrounds and keeps Jesus central. She also feels like a good friend.
