    Don’t understand why you chose to use the silly voice. Early episodes were more enjoyable. But the stories for the most part seam genuine

  • Call quality

    This is a good and entertaining podcast but sometimes the sound quality of the callers is so bad that I can’t understand a word they say and have to fast forward through their story

  • I can’t

    The stories are not good, the story telling is not good, the quality of the audios is not good and even though one can hardly understand the callers, they still underline it with loud music making it harder to listen to.

  • It is good.

    The podcast is pretty good. Derek and his team have progressed to a fairly professional level. The people’s stories are what really makes it a good podcast though in my opinion. One slight irk- the online casino ads. Kind of a trash sort of advertising and very irresponsible to promote in this economic climate. People can barely pay for both rent and groceries. To be fair this show isn’t the only one with such ads but yeah. No more online casino ads. Do better.
