One mediocre episode released two years ago and you’re introducing this podcast on your other mediocre podcasts feed. What kind of gritting is this? This smacks of gritting for listens/downloads to increase your chances of getting more advertisers and thereby more $$$ without releasing any new...Read full review »

I love this podcast - Jonathon Hirsch has an amazing audio talent and great voice, the stories are about ordinary people who've had extraordinary experiences, epiphanies, moving moments or life shifting happenings. They are well told and excellently produced by Mr Hirsch. Thank you for...Read full review »

I love this podcast!! But, can you do something about the quality of your sound? I hear too much lip-smacking and swallowing to a point that I have a hard time paying attention to the story. I have been playing with the equalizer to reduce these sounds but I haven't had much luck. Thanks!Read full review »

I genuinely loved the Junji episode. Extremely well edited.

Every episode is just gripping. I like how the story is told by the subject and you don't hear anyone else. I think it makes it more fascinating. Thanks for doing this podcast, I really enjoy it.

What a delightful story…etched in such ordinary and yet extraordinary "Clarity" ... for those seeking love…Must be "true love". So grateful for this heart opening story. And special appreciation for the silent pauses and tasteful accompaniment of musicRead full review »

The story made me cry. Olga and Josef are the luckiest deprived Russians in the world -- and Olga knows it! She was charming. So was the music.

This is one of the best independent podcasts that I’ve come across: spot on storytelling, intricate sound design, tasteful, and fresh.

Good production value. Interesting sounds. Unsubstantiated sob stories. Host is dramatic with overlong pauses. The stories don't seem to have an ending, just an excruciatingly long build up. I've been a subscriber, but I'm deleting.Read full review »

For lovers of intimate and honest people-driven story-telling Arrvls is an absolute delight. Quiet and simple, host Jonathan Hirsch independently does a beautiful job at getting to the heart of the story and letting us all know why we should care about these deeply human stories of...Read full review »

Just getting into listening to podcasts and really enjoyed listening to the story telling. Looking forward to listening to more. Music contributes to story.

I love the concept behind this podcast: what we do when what we've done is a thing of the past. Poetic and provocative, no? Unfortunately, I feel like every episode ends just when I'm really getting into it! It covers a lot of the before, a good amount of whatever it was that served...Read full review »

What stands out about the stories on this podcast is how poetic they are in their lack of the typical narrative hand-holding in so much narrative radio. Each story feels more like a collection of glimpses and the reader has to put together the picture in their mind. But it’s a joy to put together...Read full review »

This is a gorgeous new podcast. Intelligent and contemplative, with a great “theme” with which to explore human experience. Great host voice too.

Just listened to the first episode & am already hooked. This is a powerful, beautiful podcast unlike any other. I also love listening to the host’s voice, which is soothing and intriguing as well. So glad this podcast exists!

A great little podcast. Short stories looking at migration, transformation & change. Well worth subscribing to.
Lexxiworld via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/03/15
I was surprised by both the high production quality and the content. ARRVLS sounds like a segment from a polished, more mature podcast like This American Life or Radio Lab. The character in episode one was intriguing. I'm looking forward to more!Read full review »
