This podcast has made me listen actively, feel feelings and abstain from the stress and anxiety hamster wheel of politics and true crime which have become harder to separate as separate genres these days. The stories of the excellent story tellers are beautiful. They make you laugh, cry, laugh until you cry and I feel lighter after having listened.

This is personally my all time favorite podcast. There are so many stories not in the podcast though so go to the website and all the archived stories there…. This is the grandfather of all story telling platforms that are out now.

I used to absolutely love this podcast but now, more often than not, I find the stories tired and uninteresting. Instead of trying so hard to be woke, they should put the focus back on finding fantastic entertaining stories.
Apple Podcasts2Ginny VioletUnited States2 months ago - One of my favorites of all time
As the title says, one of my all-time favorite podcasts or any form of audio entertainment. One of my favorite pastimes is to setup a nice hot bubble bath, a cold beverage, light some candles, and listen to an episode or two of The Moth.
