United States4 years ago "So Sez Rick" is a breath of fresh air in the podcast world! It's funny, entertaining & relatable! Rick and Laura both bring such a natural & warm vibe to the podcast! You feel like you're sitting in their living room with a cup of coffee & a slice of pie, being welcomed into their family with their stories & views. I LOVED the episode with Ruthie!

Podcast Addict55 years agoSean-Edward66- Love Rick's Show! Love Rick's Stories!
This is the best podcast to ever teach me about pig farming. Okay, it’s the ONLY podcast to ever teach me about pig farming. But I digress.
Rick’s stories are wonderful. You’ll learn a little, you’ll laugh, you’ll smile at the charming banter between Rick and his wife Laura. Most of all, you’ll be reminded at the beauty and simplicity of a well-told tale. Highly recommended.
Apple Podcasts5mgcoast50United States5 years ago - RICK is Righteous.
There is such an easy way that Rick Hall tells a story. It's like when a friend sits at the table and responds to "What's Up?" And the result is a wonderful tale. No message, no meaning, no agenda, just what was ordered. An anecdote for this click bait memey world. There is a saying about making something look easy.... it'll come to me right after I listen to this next episode.

Home-spun humor at it’s finest! Tales of the light side of country living and a country boy in the big city. You can take the boy out of the farm... The Heartland may not have a brain but it does have a funny bone!
Apple Podcasts5Mirth61United States5 years ago - Outrageous Fun
I was lucky enough to have grown up in the same small farming community in west-central Illinois as Rick. He’s been hilarious his entire life! I’ve watched his career from afar with great admiration. His podcast series is an absolute delight. I’m so happy I can now hear Rick entertain me once again, 45-ish years later! Listen at your own pleasure!!
