  • It doesn’t get better than this

    I listen to a lot of podcasts, but the Rialto Report is the show that everything gets judged against.

    The best writing, best hosts, best production values.

    This is as good as podcasting gets. It may not be the subject matter for everyone, but it is the gold standard in audio production.

  • It was made of human skin!!!!

    The title was click bait but this show is amazing. It’s captivating documentary instead of salacious erotica and every episode has me sucked in. It’s well produced and it’s a shame that it likely doesn’t have a higher rating cause of the taboo topics.
