What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I listened while I drive a semi, it kept me interested & waiting for the next episode. Got a few notes: 1- Stoney talking reminds me of comedian James Gregory- no disrespect just his speech & dialect. 2- Stoney should be proud of this work & the legacy he leaves telling his father’s adventures. He clearly shows how his love for his father is how family should be, loving, kind and forgiving. Kids can’t pick their parents and we certainly can’t live down the past. 3-Did they ever uncover the buried bodies on the banks of the Mulberry River? Since the dogs didn’t find anything, what about the GBI or GPR doing more searches? 4- Stoney said his Mama’s name was Lee, was she related to the Sheriff Lee who took Billy to church for baptism? Good luck to Stoney & Stone with any businesses they run, I’m sure it’ll be a hit! Can’t wait for updates or answers to these questions! On to the next podcast! 5🌟👍🏻🙏🏻

I’m not sure what I was expecting, and what I found listening to this podcast exceeded anything I could’ve imagined. The story itself is every emotion, explained in a way that took me to all of them. A beautiful conclusion amongst the heartbreak and chaos of these lives. Thank you for this awesome work and for sharing this with people.

Honey, you're pretty · Sep 2024

I loved this podcast. Like may have said Sean has a knack for storytelling. But more importantly he lets the story tell itself and reveal that good and evil are not mutually exclusive. Humans are more than the best of their achievements and cannot solely be defined by their worst acts. This story is an exceptional example of how complicated we are.

This story hooked me from the get go! Sean does a wonderful job laying out the story and how can you not fall in love with Stoney! Stoney is so genuine and authentic and Sean is able to showcase these qualities in a way that is not overblown. Stoney’s honesty about his father - the good, the bad and the ugly - is admirable. Well done! I’ve already been telling everyone about this amazing podcast! It’s a must listen!
