“I generally love your show, but you all but blaming Asia Argento for the suicide of a known depressive ADULT Anthony Bourdain was nasty work. I’m not an Argento apologist, far from it. I don’t particularly like her, but blaming someone who has a long history of being abused since she was a child...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love and recommend this podcast the stories that you think you know but really don’t know all the details and it’s told in such a wonderful way. The telling of each part of history is intriguing & interesting. You go away from each episode having a bit more knowledge. Not to...”Read full review »

“One of my favorite movies of all time is The Godfather. Wonderful tidbits about the supporting actors and their real involvement with organized crime. Great side story about the great Robert Mitchum getting schooled by a member of the Winterhill gang.”

“I love this podcast and look forward to new episodes every week. It’s so fascinating to hear the little known facts & stories you’d never guess came from such huge stars. I love the way the stories are told as well- the format is unlike any other podcast I listen to.”

“I love the content, but the lazy diction of the mush-mouthed host makes about half of the episodes unlistenable for me. In some later episodes he speaks like he’s taking it a bit more seriously, and those are much better. Such a shame—I’d give it 4/5 stars if the host could just speak like he had...”Read full review »

“I’m listening to the early episodes. The complaints about the style of narration just go to show that people have different preferences. For me, it works. But I do agree with others about the over-the-top swearing. It’s one thing if it comes in naturally and believably, but too often it seems...”Read full review »

“Jake’s vocal performance is among the very best in all of podcasting. There are lots of podcasts out there, and many of them are very very good but unfortunately, the authors don’t have the voices for audio. They are brilliant writers, but they can’t perform the show — Jake on the other hand does...”Read full review »

“The show mixes fact with imagination, & here lies its brilliance—the imagination part. I get wrapped up in any given show as if I were enjoying a welcome dream during a good night’s sleep; or an out-there story by Harlan Ellison. The show is original. Keep the faith, Jake.”
