  • Very relevant now

    I’ve listened to this show for several years, but after losing my elderly mother last week, it’s become more comforting. My mom passed three weeks after her beloved husband passed. She lived in our home undergoing hospice care, and previous episodes of this podcast helped me know what to expect. She described a cool, comforting breeze going through her room at night. I heard her laughing and she said she was talking to her mother. She had a mental checklist of things she wanted to make sure we... more

  • Too monotonous

    How I'd hoped for an experience that earned the OG Art Bell C2C moniker, but nope. There needs to be a consistent variety of voices/interviewees in these podcasts. One voice droning on and on in l-o-n-g narratives is boring and, frankly, lazy. First-hand experiences need to be the common thread in this series. Until then, I'm moving on.

    Sandra’s gentle voice and compassionate insight has brought me peace during moments when nothing else could. Her guests, stories, and teachings about the afterlife have opened my heart to a deeper understanding ... more
