This is my favorite podcast! I find all of the subjects fun and interesting.

Love Mobituaries! My husband bought me the book and got me hooked. I wait feverishly for the next set of obits - please, Mo. more obits!!

More MOBITs pleeeeaaaseeee !

Please sir. Can I have some Mo?

Mo has accompanied us on more than one trip as we binge on this great podcast! It makes the miles go by pleasantly as we learn about disappearing sitcom characters, Peggy Lee and more! We highly recommend this podcast!

Anything Mo Rocco is just fiiiiiine by me! Often imitated yet never duplicated! Mo's honest delivery has always been his forte. I just love the guy. I think most people either love him or hate him for the most part.. I tend to be the former! REAL Happy I stumbled across this podcast!

Love this and wish it was every week because topics are so interesting. Mo does a great job of presenting people

I discovered the “Mobituaries” book first, then looked for the podcast. I have listened to the podcast every single day for more than three weeks now and have no intention of stopping until I hear every show. Good intelligent stuff, well-paced, and funny!

Podcast

Schedule is sporatic

Your names episode is HIGHlarious! Very informative. I had my daughter in 2020 and what I came to notice is many girls were named after flora. My daughter’s name is Juniper. I’m aware of a couple other Junipers, Iris, Ivy, Lily, Poppy, Violet, and even Clementine were all names I heard in 2020. Love the show Maurice! Namaste.

Informative and very enjoyable. Always some surprises.

Especially like the episodes with John McWhorter

Good content made unlistenable by flow-breaking ads.

While Rocca’s articles are often interesting, I just listened to the latest episode about Marlena Dietrich. 12 minutes of content, and 13 minutes of mind– numbing, concentration– jarring, ill-placed ads. Thirteen minutes of ads and twelve minutes of content? Seriously?

The new season of Mobituaries has way too many advertisements in it. Four minutes of adverts before Word One is spoken? And another four-minute hit later, along with a two-minutes later? Ten minutes of ads in a 30-minute show? No other podcast I’ve listened to has this much time set for advertisements, and I’m listening to hour-plus-long shows.

Great stories interrupted by numerous drug salesmen

I usually love this podcast, but this episode is filled with sooooo many advertisements that kept interrupting the show. There was not enough content!! I could NOT enjoy the podcast. Terrible. Terrible terrible.

I love this podcast and Mo’s style/story-telling but the ad to content ratio is ridiculous!

Moe. Come on. Your storytelling is amazing but THESE ADS!! You’re backed by CBS, so don’t tell us you need this much revenue for a podcast. I’m unsubscribing because I feel like I’m being sold every soda and pharmaceutical under the sun and the stories are just blips in the endless stream of advertisements. What a joke.

My third time listening to the Sammy Davis, Jr. episode tonight brought back wonderful memories of seeing his television performances and hearing his songs on the radio. What a brilliant man he was! Those were the days when performances on t.v. variety shows in the evening would erase the stresses of the world and you went to bed feeling happy. 🗣🎼

Very disappointed to hear three ads for Zyn on the Wishbone mobit. Mo you can be better and not promote an unregulated addictive tobacco product. Love the Pod, hate these ads.

I listened to this again because Wishbone was one of my very very favorite shows – and I was a grown adult watching it with my children! As a teacher and a lover of literature, I found it to be one of the finest shows ever on television – I wish there were more like it today. It certainly could replace some of the trash that our children are subjected to— that beautiful little dog was an influencer that I can get behind still! Thank you for giving us his background. No– Your podcast and your work is consistently excellent. I can’t wait for your new season.

Great merging of history and humor. Looking forward to trump’s obit 😎

“Maurice the Jew” provides the absolute best entertainment for our road trips back and forth between Missouri and Florida. Every episode is so interesting. Fantastic radio program.

Always love hearing what Mo comes up with. I’ve never been disappointed!

Hi Mo…. WELCOME BACK 👋🏽 I’m sooo glad Mobituariaries is back! Can’t wait to hear more from this season. I never thought any of us would have DNA from the Neanderthal man. Very eye opening 😉 Toni Bumpass Cumberland, VA

Mo Rocca. Great name. Great voice. Great personality. Perfect for podcasting. The idea is awesome!! The execution of the idea is fantastic!! The topics are so amazing, varied and unexpected. Thank you so much for coming up with this, creating it and continuing to produce this podcast even when I’m about certain the show has ended forever. Keep going. I love this podcast and miss it when there’s a break. Thank you Mo and everyone.

What a great show. So glad you are back. I look forward to every show you do! Thank you

It’s generally a really good and entertaining show, but just have your ad-skipping finger ready. YMMV, because podcasters can use all sorts of services to send different ads to different people nowadays. By my count, nearly 29% of this download was advertising (and I’m not counting the host hawking his book at the end). I counted 24 individual commercials in the download. Apparently, the bigwigs at iHeart and CBS think of podcasts like they think of TV shows… the more commercials the merrier. Not only were there 24 commercials, but several of them were repeated more than twice (including the one for a female sex-enhancer drug, a large national hardware retailer, a social media company, a prostate cancer drug and one which was so poorly produced that I couldn’t figure out what it was for). So enjoy the show, but don’t do so while washing dishes, or cleaning the cat’s box; you’ll want to have clean, dry fingers ready throughout the podcast, to skip through the ridiculous surfeit of annoying commercials.

Thank you I have PTSD stemming from my childhood listening to the lightheartedness and heartfelt grief was very important to me and I really really really love the delivery. I have one request please do Miss Divine.

Fantastic and so well put together. I love it!! This is my favorite podcast. So f-ing good!

One of the best podcasts, period. Fun, informative, thoughtful, interesting, and most importantly, very well produced. I hope you make many more episodes for many more years

I love your stories and so glad to hear the latest. Please keep them coming.

On Sitcom Deaths episode, how can you forget James on “Good Times “

Funny, nostalgic, smart, charming… I could go on. Mo brings his culture connoisseurship A game to this podcast. All great and a couple that are some of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. “Sitcom Deaths” and “Laura Branigan” are classics! ❤️!

Please come back and entertain America during this scary time.

So glad to find one of my favorite podcasts back from hiatus!!

A wonderful blend of information, humor and nostalgia. Mo’s enthusiastic and informative delivery is refreshing and clearly genuine. Thank you!

Wahooooooo. A new MoBit. Such a wonderful way to start my day basking in a mobituary. What the world needs now is mo more mo!

Funny, informative, thought provoking and heartwarming.

Mobituaries is a distilled version of everything I’ve ever loved about cbs Sunday mornings, npr’s this American life, and pbs documentaries. Like a more entertaining auditory Ken burns documentary with one of the all time great hosts in news media/comedy. One must be careful listening to this fascinating podcast as I’ve often found myself moved to tears by a banana or openly weeping as Rocca has you relive the trauma of beloved historical figures death. This isn’t a bad thing I promise. This podcast makes you think, laugh and FEEL.

Highly recommend, great stories, excellent production

I started listening recently, and I AM HOOKED! Not only am I listening, but I’ve told some other people about it. Some of the episodes I can relate to (Vaughan Meader, station wagon), but more importantly I am learning so much. I enjoy Mo’s presentation. Keep ‘em coming.

Mo Rocca not only shares history stories but in Mobituaties he shares the stories of people, places, and even things that are too important to not know about. They are bits and pieces of real life, real people that have shaped life for all of us. We just didn’t know it. His stories are never dull, interspersed with actual recordings and first person accounts they open your mind and heart to wanting to know more. Thank you Mo and keep telling us these stories so they never die.

Absolute GOLD! Mo is a tremendous story teller and every subject is riveting! 5 stars isn’t enough.

smart without being too dry, this podcast has just the right combination of geniune historical fact, well-played wit, and an authentic, warm, and quirky touch. every new episode makes me smile like a lunatic at my phone.

Give us more Mobituaries. Very enjoyable

This is one of the podcasts I listen to always learn something new and lift my spirits 👍

Love this podcast. Very thorough and interesting. I am very glad to get a new season.
