What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Seriously Mr. Chungus, you and that silly boy Jack Luna have single handedly gotten me through the hardest time of my life. Many times when things got/get really bad I know I can turn on a podcast you’re involved with and get a good belly laugh, man, thank you, thank you. I don’t know what I would’ve done seriously it makes me emotional just typing this. Plus I’m from Pikeville, KY originally and I’m far far away from home so hearing your accent reminds me of hangin with my boys so kinda makes me a little less home sick.

Nkimberlain · Sep 2026

The longer I listen to this, the more I realize Kent is like the true crime Theo Von. He’s got some out of pocket things he says that just crack me up even if it does get a little dark. This podcast isn’t for you if you get offended super easily. Overall, the story telling is great and you can tell Kent does A LOT of research. Joe and Jess are great additions. Mostly just there for quips and questions, but it wouldn’t be the same without them.

Jbuddy132 · Sep 2026

Kent, Joe & Jess are fantastic. Kent’s story telling is phenomenal, the commentary is chef’s kiss! 🤌🏻 Hilarious, sarcastic, and the amount of information is WILD. Kent doesn’t just throw this show together, you can really appreciate the detail that goes into each episode. I especially love how Kent will even go as far as to find, research, and explain the current state and history of the locations in which these events occurred. Keep it up guys!

miiiintz · Aug 2026

Definitely my favorite podcast, I’ve listened to every episode multiple times. Wish I could give it 6 stars

ADavisF250 · Jul 2026

I genuinely want to hear your stories, but there is simply too much irrelevant back-and-forth with the co-hosts. The constant side conversations make it difficult to stay engaged with the content I came to hear. Unfortunately, because of this, I won’t be continuing as a listener. I wish you all the best and hope you’ll consider tightening the format so the stories can take center stage.
