Every episode makes me think deeply about a topic that I may have otherwise overlooked. I am always looking forward to the next one!

Stories you wouldn’t hear anywhere else reported in a compelling way. With some episodes, I was sitting on the edge of my chair. Yet with all that suspense , I left feeling like I was leaving a good friend. And I was cheered.

Definitely a must! Takes you into many places and scenarios that you don’t typically think about.

I appreciate the extended investigation that gives me plenty of material to chew on. The 2nd episode has hit my heart and mind strongly since I’m a Canadian living in the USA (now US citizen) and have grieved over these very topics covered in this podcast. I look forward to more episodes on...Read full review »

Great content!

This podcast invites extended, thoughtful consideration of a singular topic. The format is a welcome break. So unlike the many snippets of information that come into our ears as just clamour demanding our attention.
PastMark67 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/11/23
This podcast features well written and expertly presented accounts of real people and interesting events and activities. If not for this production, I might never have thought to look into these things, but as I listen to them, I am fully engaged with mind and emotions, fascinated, and grateful...Read full review »

These stories range from the intriguing, inspiring to heart moving. They are all well produced. The length of each is just right for the ride to work, to complete a few errands, or prepare for good night’s sleep.

The episodes are of a wide variety. Every one was time well-spent. I’ve gotten chills during some of them - the stories are that impactful.
Goofball #1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/23
This show is engaging and unafraid to tell important, heart wrenching, joy-filled, and everything-in-between stories that are marked by excellent journalism and Good News. Give it a listen!

The episode about the Iranian girls that were in-prisoned had me sob uncontrollably. If I can’t serve Jesus faithfully how could I serve Him in prison? This podcast always surprises me, I never know what to expect from the next story. Some of the stories that I still remember are: The story about...Read full review »

Wannabe musician 76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/23
I look forward to every new episode and every new season. Well done and interesting looks into different stories and situations I would never encounter but for the “ double take” of these talented journalist/story tellers. Thank you!

I was riveted by the episodes in the first season and was looking forward to the start of the new season. I haven’t been able to finish an episode yet and have skipped the second part of a story entirely.
1coltsfamily via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/23
What a find this podcast is! Thoughtfully and carefully crafted real life stories that all bring up relevant and interesting ideas to wrestle with all in a well produced and entertaining package! Keep up the great work!

World News Group has hit it out of the park with the addition of Doubletake to their podcast lineup. Doubletake features deep dives into thought provoking topics and stories. Many episodes are share-worthy: for example the episode discussing UFO history and how we can thoughtfully consider the...Read full review »

Topics from the edges of your radar. Well researched, written, and produced.
AZVeronika via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/12/23
I just finished the two part series on churches and believers within the virtual reality world. Les Sillars does an excellent job of tackling a complex issue, presenting the downfalls of our superficial, addiction-oriented culture with the possibility of reaching additional souls for Christ. I...Read full review »

Just finished listening to the 2 part series on Christianity and Virtual Reality. It initially challenged my presumption that “virtual “ must be bad because it’s not real. However, I was impressed on the testimonies on how God is at work even in the dark spaces, and can use this technology to...Read full review »

I didn’t think I had time to listen to another podcast. After all, I already subscribe to all of the World Radio podcasts in addition to others. However, DoubleTake’s storytelling grabbed my attention from the very first episode of the first season. Each episode is unique, thought provoking...Read full review »

Really creeped me out...& increased my understanding of VR--its evil, but also capabilities of redemption.
Cindybeebabe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/23
It is great to hear stories in the tradition of This American Life without the moral relativism that has overtaken today’s media and pop culture. Kudos for the good work. Even though I come from a different faith tradition, I appreciate what you all are producing.
Mr. Striving via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/23
These stories are well formed and told. They are intriguing and thought provoking. I highly recommend giving these episodes a listen!
jr.nicholson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/23
Superior storytelling with an extensive range of life situations. Well written thoughtful reporting that breathes life into the story. The redemptive perspective makes it even more engrossing. Keep those stories coming,
Lightwray via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/23
Another great program from World News Group.
Winters CA Mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/23
Double take covers interesting and diverse topics and shows me parts of my world I had never known and or thought about. It dives deep into unique topics and makes me think more about what’s happening around me.
briahnah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
Below is from the trailer and it is an accurate description. Doubletake is a narrative podcast. We tell stories creatively about interesting people encountering big ideas. It’s journalism plus storytelling, informed by a biblical worldview. However, the podcast is so much better than this...Read full review »

I typically don’t enjoy “true crime” stories, but this one about the Van Oostens was so well told that I couldn’t help but enjoy it.
Einstein app player via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/23
You never know what the topic will be but the story will always be interesting. That’s because they let the actual story guide them. They aim for the truth of the matter and then present it as-is. At the same time, they masterly unfold the story to make it interesting.
MADman1624 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/23
This was excellent. Larry and Connie were trapped and frightened. Julianna told the story well.
A Wyoming Friend via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/23
The first season was both thought and prayer provoking. I’m already pondering the first episode of Season Two and would highly recommend this podcast.
TNNLCBY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/23
Controversial topic (euthanasia) with a thoughtful Christian response.
Nerdhoff via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/23
I greatly enjoyed the first season and look forward to season 2. Thank you for all the work you do.
MoroLonge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/23
I have listened to the first season of Doubletake and have found it to be well written, thought provoking and intensely interesting. I love the Biblical worldview and the compassionate viewpoints of the various stories. Kudos to Wes Sillers and his team of journalists. Keep up the good work!
PuffinKnits via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/23
This is a very well-produced podcast. The stories are engaging and often moving. I started with the story about Rachel’s first kiss, which made me laugh on a long bus ride through the Italian countryside.
johnadamstogo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/23
…..just wish there were more episodes!!
joeborecki via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/23
Thanks DoubleTake for bringing these stories to us. This is just another way world news group shows us the World and everything in it. This helps us see where God is at work so we can join Him in work and prayer! Thank you!
2aharvey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/23
I listened to this as it was recommended by compelled podcast. I think the show has potential but as of now I think it is dark and depressing, nothing uplifting. It is just more right wing talking issues with a bit a of fear porn thrown it. So called experts making speculations on future...Read full review »

Well done very moving and wake up call for those of us in America, Canada is just ahead of where we are and soon it will be everyone’s duty to request suicide from a doctor.

Stories that matter. Told well. What more could you want!?
KaykayNM via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/22
The storytelling is excellent and engaging. Beware listening to this podcast, however, it might challenge you to action and you may never been the same again. Thank you World for telling the truth and being a part of the force for the good and true in the world.
radhelnjira via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/22
DoubleTake is not afraid to tackle difficult issues, especially ones that make one uncomfortable. This is the news that people need to know about !
Agdon63 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/22
Such interesting topics. I learned so much and am looking forward to the next season!
Becca Byler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/22
Les Sillars (and his students) do a great job of covering “human interest” stories in a long format. I’m grateful for all the work that goes into them and highly recommend this podcast.
