Jack Luna is one of my favorite hosts of all time, with his combination of wit, humility, respect and knowledge of each topic (including in Marooned) his ability to colorfully describe even the mundane keeps me listening and sometimes laughing every day. I don’t know you but I’m proud of you dude! Keep doing what you’re doing❤️

I first heard Jack Luna on Monstruo and liked him, but that show didn’t do him justice. The depth of his research and storytelling is really engaging. Can’t believe I’m only finding this one!
Update: hands down best writer and story teller of any true crime podcaster. Add his authentic and raw glimpse into his mind and life along the way only add to the journey.

I've always been impressed with your broad range of TALENTS. You are BEYOND creative in everything you've done and continue to share with us.

You ABSOLUTELY ROCK ‼️And FYI, you DO matter😉

Good story telling and Jack has a great podcast voice. Sometimes their narrow minded opinions about countries and people ruin a good episode though. Would be good if they just stick to the true crime story rather than their narrow minded views.
