What Was That Like - True Stories. Real People. - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love the conversation and interview style of this podcast. The stories flow so well and Scott asks the questions that I’m wondering about. His voice is soothing and keeps my interest. I actually listen to this podcast and not some others because I like the back and forth better than someone just telling a story. It makes it more interesting to me. This is one of my favorite podcasts!

One of the best podcasts I’ve ever found and listened to. Scott is an amazing interviewer and lets the person speak enough but also interjects at the right times . Love his personality and the stories he’s able to find and share. Love when he interviews people with interesting jobs (ex. The hospice care woman ) thank you for all you do Scott!

Host is smart and compassionate, interviewing people who share a diverse array of life experiences. A cool window into other people’s lives and thoughts. Thank you!

The stories are interesting and stir many different emotions on me. Scott’s voice is very calming and I enjoy his interactions with the guests, they give space to the guest emotions and to tell the different aspects of the story.

The stories are always intriguing, but there is a condescending undertone from Scott. One of the first episodes I listened to was “Lex Couldn’t Stop Bleeding”. When they were discussing her profession (a lactation consultant) his tone implied that it was a joke, he then proceeded with “you see a lot of boobs”. This is the first of many times he undermines the interviewee. I’d love a host who respects his guests.

The chosen episode topics are interesting enough but Scott the interviewer is quite cringy. The stories would be better received if they were edited and only the narrators voice was heard. Also they are too long and get into too much boring detail. Love + radio, is this actually happening, strangers are better examples of this type of podcast.
