A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I can’t remember the podcast I was listening to when I heard about this show, started listening and i can’t stop. Long detailed episodes, fascinating guests and a great interview style.

ryguyWV · Sep 2026

Every episode reaches in and shakes the listener by speaking to the humanity of real life experiences. I just listened to one with your dad—it made my heart happy and I wish I could be friends with your parents. Keep sharing stories and speaking truths.

NA from SD,CA · Jun 2026

I appreciate the time Ian gives for guests to truly talk. When they aren’t often interrupted, they get deeper into the details of their stories and explaining their mindset.

Roadtrip and Chores Listener · Apr 2026

I have no idea how I came across this podcast. I don't know that I've ever known anyone who spent time in prison. But I've always believed they should be treated with dignity and respect and rehabilitated if possible. Thank you so much for bringing out the humanity in people who have in prison. The stories are fascinating and I hope they encourage people still in prison and people who are now their life on the outside.
