A "fascinating" (MetroSource) collection of uncensored, confessional, and at times outrageously funny essays about coming of age, coming out, and the wildest experiences that define us. Collecting the most celebrated stories from the hit podcast RISK!, along with all-new true tales about explosive secrets and off-the-wall adventures, this book paints a spellbinding portrait of the transformational moments we experience in life but rarely talk about.
No topics are off-limits in RISK!, no memories too revealing to share. From accidentally harboring a teen fugitive to being poisoned while tripping on LSD in the Mayan ruins, these stories transport listeners into uncharted territory and show how your life can change when you take an extraordinary leap.
In these jaw-dropping stories, edited and introduced by RISK! host Kevin Allison, writers reveal how they pushed drugs for a Mexican cartel only to end up kidnapped and nearly killed, how they joined a terrifying male-empowerment cult and fought desperately for a way out, how they struggled with pregnancy complications and found a hero where they least expected it, and so much more.
A lifelong construction worker shares the intimate details of transitioning to being a woman, a best-selling author discusses how he assumed the identity of his babysitter online in a social experiment gone awry, and a beloved comedian discusses how a blow job from a prostitute changed his life. By turns cautionary and inspiring, RISK! presents an extraordinary panorama of the breadth of human experience and a stunning tribute to the power of the truth to set us free.

Although there is something lost by not having the author tell their own stories the narrators do a fantastic job of delving into the emotional complexity of each individual's experience.
If you are new to RISK sit back and enjoy the ride. if you are already a follower of the podcast there are a ton of new stories, and even the stories I recognize from the podcast feel fresh and exciting and a joy to revisit!
congratulations RISK team! Thank you!
EXCEEDS MY HIGH EXPECTATIONS!!!

I only took off one star because I missed the experience of each story teller having their own voice, and while I realize that’s not practical with an audiobook, I felt some of the narrators (NOT KEVIN) fell flat with inflection and keeping things interesting with their voice. I’ve always loved Kevin, his stories and narration are intertwined with this whole thing and if it wasn’t for him and his voice this wouldn’t be Risk! At all.
Thank you so much for the new medium and new content.
Fans, CHECK IT OUT!!!!

I grew to love Kevin Allison's manic, high-energy performance style on the podcast. As the primary narrator of the audiobook he sets the perfect tone as ringmaster of this emotional circus. Read it!
