  • Gold standard.But not really new episodes

    Been a fan of this pod for YEARS. was shocked when they partnered with Mr. Ballen. It was like the Rolling Stones and the Beatles getting together. I visited the UK in 2019 for a month, and driving all over the UK while listening to this pod was an experience i highly recommend. The best.I AM pretty bummed to realize how much of the later episodes are just older episodes repackaged tho. That's a bumme. Every time I download them I realize its an old episode with a new title.

  • New Narrator Please?

    As much as I love this podcast (I prefer the story content more then the original Mr. Ballen Podcast), the narrators voice is… off putting. Not his accent, per se, but his tone and cadence is not the best. I see a lot of other comments whaling on this dude, so I’m trying to be nice. But the podcast really would be much better if there was a better narrator. He’s just not the type for the job he’s doing. I understand that Mr. John has a lot of stuff on his hands, between the podcast, medical myst... more
