The Secret Room | True Stories - Podcast Rankings and reviews

There have been great episodes, but it was incredibly disappointing to hear Ben laugh along with a guest who admits to extortion and concocting false allegations for petty revenge. It’s fine to let a guest dig their own grave, but you don’t need to join them in it. You can do (and have done) so much better. Regretfully unsubscribing.

My favorite podcast. I love Ben’s voice, his empathy and the great advice he gives to storytellers. He is sincere and asks really excellent questions so we get the full story. I learn from his suggestions and ideas and he feels and sounds like a great therapist. I’d like to know his background and education. Journalism? POD ON BEN

Some of the stories are wild, some are touching, and many are reflective of the relatable things in life that we keep secret because we think we’re alone - but we aren’t.

But has a great voice and plenty of compassion for his guests, giving them a safe place to cleanse their souls.

Just started listening to this podcast a few days and I’m absolutely addicted! I love the chemistry of the hosts and look forward to binging over the weekend! Unique, thought-provoking and funny! Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍

It pains me to write this because I really, really like Ben — but he deserves better than the immature, boring guests that volunteer to tell their “secrets.” Problem is, most of them aren’t secrets at all. This most recent season is just full of lame interviews about broken relationships and juvenile misadventures told by narrators who appear to have very little insight into their own stories. I really enjoyed the first few seasons, but poor casting has turned the show into an extremely frustrating listening experience.

The first episodes were really interesting but lately, not so much. The episode with Jo was painfully and unnecessarily long. Not to mention, Jo was difficult to listen to. The secret was very underwhelming. Perhaps the host can search for individuals with more shocking/interesting secrets.
