  • All time favorite

    Snap Judgement and Spooked are the best podcasts I know of. By far my favorites for years. Fantastic and the best production quality I’ve come across. Love the storytelling (in 1st person too!). Really like that Spooked doesn’t focus on trying to be scary or creepy, but rather presents stories that are always really interesting. Love the host too, the best. Pretty amazing podcasts.

  • Wonderful storytelling!

    The 1/9/2026 episode, set on Isla Amantani in Peru, is especially excellent—one of my favorites! The team that produces these stories does such consistently amazing work. Thank you! And please keep bringing us stories from Native American nations as well as Spanish-language LatinX stories. You manage to interweave the storyteller’s original voice and the translating storyteller’s so artfully. I love your work!

Q: Did you ever feel like, you know, a lot of these girls, like you said in the newspapers, their names were never recorded, they were kind of forgotten in a lot of ways?
Oh, I did. Every day, I did a tour, and I talked about them and what they sacrificed.
