I really love these stories and Brian’s voice. Somehow they relax me. I like to listen to them while I’m out walking.

Brain,Les and FRED ! · May 2025

I feel a little sad writing this review because I was really drawn into the show at first. I listened through the multiple parts of Brian’s story and the segments that follow the narrative from his book, and I was completely hooked. It’s compelling storytelling and definitely captures your attention. However, I started looking into some of the claims made in the story. When I tried to find information about Brian’s past—such as the claims about being a sheriff or the documentary, or even the missing guy Austin he talks about—it was difficult to find any independent confirmation. That made me start to question how much of the story is factual versus fictional. As storytelling, it’s engaging and entertaining, and I can see why so many people enjoy listening. But personally, I went into it believing it was a real account, and it now feels more like a work of fiction presented as fact. Too bad, because it really is a great story. I just wish there had been more clarity about what was real and what was creative storytelling.

Team JKJW · Mar 2026

The last 20 minutes of an episode is advertisement after advertisement (plus the usual minute in the beginning and some throughout). This lengthy barrage of ads at the end has negated any chance that I will be listening to more episodes. Too bad. What I did listen to wasn’t bad at all.
