Norway4 months ago - When’s Season 2?
I put off listening to this podcast because the name gave me the impression of a fiction dramatized podcast. Boy did I miss out! I really enjoyed each episode, even the stories I knew were great to listen to with the first hand accounts of the subjects. I need season 2!
Apple Podcasts5Gabyx3United States4 months ago - Funny, Emotional where it needs to & well paced
I really like it. I don’t get some reviews citing 1 star and not saying why. Production quality is on point. Story selection is good. Nice pacing and keeps you hooked through each episode.

I really like this program, I can hear stories based on real events and described in a natural way.
Sometimes I need to hear a piece of news without all formal mood. Really consider give us more episodes!
Apple Podcasts5VICENTEGSUnited States5 months ago - None of the jokes land
The jokes just don’t land, it feels like you’re in the middle of a serious conversation and some clown can’t stop butting in with inappropriate jokes. They distract from the actual content, and they aren’t funny either. Otherwise the actual contents are quite interesting.

I’d say this podcast was just something to listen to if you just needed something to listen to. I wouldn’t say it was a life changing series by any means, but it wasn’t bad.
