I started out loving this show so much. I thought it was really unique and interesting and was looking forward to every new episode but over the last I’d say 3 to 6 episodes. I’ve continually been disappointed in the direction that you’ve taken the show and the experiences you’re prioritizing to share with the public. They feel very basic and remedial in most cases in a little bit too sentimental for my taste.

United States2 months ago - UPDATED: Quality went way downhill
Episodes 3&4 left me in tears. The strength that these people had, and continued to have, is unimaginable. I would have given a 5 star, but the political commentary by the podcast producers was not needed and even lessened the value of the interview.
UPDATED 9/16/25- quality of guests went way downhill. After several episodes, I finally threw in the towel. Disappointed.
Apple Podcasts2KarlisaJadeUnited States2 months ago The true stories told by the people who lived through them are good. I skip the post-story conversations.
