FaithK · May 2025

This is such an easy listening pod, because it’s like talking to a friend or listening to friends talk. And it’s about stuff that you never hear on podcasts. I love it.

omgitzfern · Apr 2025

There are podcasts that entertain, podcasts that inform—and then there are the rare few that hold you. “Tell Me Something Messy” does just that, not with spectacle or sensationalism, but with the steady, radiant presence of Brandon Kyle Goodman, a host whose heart you can feel through every syllable. Yes, the show welcomes stories of repression and curiosity, but it’s not about shock or shame. It’s about truth—in all its unvarnished, holy complexity. Brandon doesn’t flinch. He doesn’t tidy up the mess. He lets it breathe. And in doing so, he gives us all permission to do the same. There’s a particular magic in the way Brandon listens. Every guest, every story, is met not with judgment, but with grace and wide-open arms. His advice is direct and rooted in care—never condescending, always expansive. He speaks from a place that honors not just where you’ve been, but where you might go. There’s room here to grow, to backtrack, to stumble forward again. There’s room to be human. Brandon brings reverence to the everyday heroism of simply being ourselves. He shows us that messiness isn’t a flaw to fix—it’s a map to something more honest, more liberated, more deeply loving. This podcast is a gift. A lighthouse for the tender, tangled, and brave.
