“I couldn’t help myself and listened to the whole show in one day. I thought I knew a lot about the subject of homelessness, but this series opened my eyes to ideas and struggles I knew nothing about. I’m an educator, and this made me feel even more passionate about advocating for my unhoused ...”Read full review »

“I’ve pretty thoroughly retreated from my pre-pandemic diet of public interest stories, New Yorker articles, news podcasts. Because they’re all reported from basements? Because they just make me feel more stuck at home? I’m not totally sure why or why this series feels different. But it does....”Read full review »

“Most often, empathy comes from being able to put yourself in someone’s shoes. The incredible reporting by Katie Mingle in this series puts a humanizing face to the houselessness that I’ve seen daily in the multiple cities I’ve lived in. It has galvanized me to do something more proactive in my...”Read full review »

“Essential listening for anyone who cares about homelessness in America. Katie Mingle explains, through stories about the homeless and the people trying to help them, how the system works – or doesn’t-for so many. Their stories are often heart rending, yet by the end there is reason to be hopeful.”

“I learned so much listening to this series! Homelessness is, in some ways, a more complex problem than I had understood — but this show makes it clear that, as a society, we are choosing to let people live in unsafe situations, and we can and must do better. This is essential listening for all of...”Read full review »

“Simply put - you need to listen to this story. If this is a story you can relate to, listen. If this is foreign to you - listen to the stories of others. No matter what this is worth your time.”

“One of my favorite mini-series to date. It’s a well-written and produced deep dive into a complicated topic, exploring multiple point of views with empathy and grace. More importantly, it focuses on an extremely topical concern and brings to light something that we all need to care more about”

“I always heard about how bad homelessness has become in California. The media covers it all of the time, but none of them have ever stopped and said why.
Why is it so bad? What is being done about it? Both questions rarely ever asked or answered.
According to Need does both. Like it’s parent...”Read full review »
