Reply All was a popular Gimlet Media podcast that effectively ended after a major workplace controversy in 2021, followed by departures of key staff and the cancellation of the remaining episodes of its final series.

What happened

The show became caught up in backlash over a reporting project about workplace racism at Gimlet, and the situation escalated into a broader internal conflict. Shortly after, the remaining planned episodes were not released, and the hosts associated with the controversy left the show.

The bigger picture

At the start, Reply All was one of the best-known internet culture podcasts, launched in 2014 by PJ Vogt and Alex Goldman. Over time, the controversy damaged the show’s momentum and audience trust, and it never really recovered in its original form.

Where it stands now

As of the latest public reporting I found, Reply All is no longer running as the once-active flagship podcast it used to be. What remains is mostly discussion of the fallout and retrospective coverage of how the show unraveled.

TL;DR

It wasn’t a normal cancellation so much as a collapse after internal controversy, public backlash, and key departures.
