"A thoughtful and entertaining show that gives you an intimate look into the lives of aspiring singers. You also learn more about Daveed Diggs, Kelly Rowland, and Sara Bareilles. The show nurtures the singers and teaches the audience about the craft of songwriting. I hope they produce a second season." —Ebony, Audible listener

"This is my new favorite podcast. I love the mix of interviews and clips; it’s serious and entertaining in the vein of a 60 Minutes or old Frontline. The topics fill a void I don’t hear in any other media. Can’t wait for more episodes!" —Shane, Audible listener

"It was great to hear all the info and work behind this iconic issue of XXL. It brings back great memories of how eager I was as a teen to read these hip-hop publications on a monthly basis. I recall sharing, debating, and gazing at these often. This particular episode highlights one of the dopest issues. Great listen for anyone who is true to the culture." —Robert, Audible listener

"I stumbled upon this and thought I’d give it a whirl. The writing is thoughtful and funnier than I anticipated. This was the first time I’ve ever listened to a show like this. I’m so used to visual accompaniment that I didn’t think it would land. But I was pleasantly surprised. It worked quite well. Looking forward to the next project or season two." —Lee, Audible listener

"A bold and daring discussion especially for women of my generation (45+). While shocking on one level, it is also liberating to see young people exploring their sexuality in a way that women of my generation would never have dared! A must-listen for everyone." —Devialini, Audible listener

"I have not been a podcast listener in the past but this concept intrigued me. I have always thought that gathering around the kitchen table was child-rearing 101. Some of the most memorable moments of my childhood happened there. Can't wait to hear other's thoughts." —Firefly Mama, Audible listener

"Absolutely loved this. It was content that I had no idea I needed until I binged it all in one day. Cute, funny, and emotional with great performances. Truly hoping for a season two and/or more content like this!" —JJ, Audible listener

"This podcast is educational, thought-provoking and boundary breaking. The sound design is amazing. It takes you on journey whether you are new to the world or a veteran. Highly recommend." —Heather, Audible listener

"Timely, well-researched piece of storytelling. The Fiasco series continues to provide thoughtful [perspectives] on historical content that continues to echo today. Crime will always have many layers and viewpoints and this story is the latest example where narratives and rushes to judgement often obscure the actual human beings involved." —Omar, Audible listener

"I don't love sports, but the kids do. This was such a fun, high-energy listen, and I learned so many fun facts! Great diversity in sports figures, too. Highly recommend, especially if you're already Story Pirates fans (as we are)." —Angela, Audible listener
