29 Fantastic Excuses Not to Listen to My Podcast

I know not everyone is as enthusiastic about my podcast as I am. When I’m excited, I tend to be too aggressive in asking people to subscribe and listen. I prepared this list of ready-made excuses for someone to decline politely without causing anxiety or hurting feelings. (And if you are feeling cheeky or clever, feel free to add your own reasons to the comments.)

I can’t listen to your podcast because:

· I am traveling in the vacuum of space, so the volume would be way too loud. Or way too soft, I’m not sure how the science works.

· I don’t trust people with beards, like that social deviant Santa Claus.

· The lost city of Atlantis has lousy Wi-Fi.

· It’s against my religion. A religion with very strict rules that I made up 2 minutes before I got your text message.

· I don’t have ears.

·I have ears, but they are big and make me self-conscious. Stop looking at me like that!

· I am your wife.

· My jaw is wired shut after a mountain biking accident, and laughing could kill me.

· I am Joe Rogan.

· I don’t like your face.

· I was your podcast guest. Talking to you one time was bad enough.

· It’s not on TikTok.

· I don’t “do” podcasts.

· The sound of laughing drives me to Hulk-like rage.

· I’m your mom, and I already wasted too much time on you already.

· I hate my job. I know this has nothing to do with my ability to listen to your podcast, but it still sucks the life out of me.

· Microsoft just retired Internet Explorer.

· My AirPods look really cool, but they aren’t very comfortable and keep falling out of my ears.

· I’ll watch it when it becomes a movie.

· A Russian hacker stole my identity. But I’m sure he’ll listen.

· I’ve already listened to all your podcast episodes. (Struggling to keep from laughing) Wait…what makes you think I’m lying?

· I’m starting a cult, and there is way more paperwork than I expected.

· No, you can’t borrow any money. Wait, what was your question?

· I just learned that people used to eat Egyptian mummies, and I don’t think I could handle any other surprises right now.

· I miss Rhonda.

· It’s my birthday. Would you spend your birthday this way?

· I have people who do that for me.

· I took the blue pill to stay inside the Matrix.

· Fine. I’ll listen, but I won’t like it.

If none of those excuses work for you, consider subscribing to WorkPlay Solutions Podcast. Cheers!
