  • Great show!

    Tell Me What Happened is a very entertaining show! The host has a wonderful voice and interviews, interjects and narrates perfectly. There are lessons to learn from others situations and very short teaching moments to help you not make the same mistakes at the end of the show. It’s in my top three of true life shows. Try it!
