I resonate so much with the experiences that both Ali and her sharers provide us the opportunity to hear. I’ve learned a lot about myself simply by how much I relate to Ali and her listeners. This is a podcast that makes you feel SEEN! Instantly loved it.

You’re so worth it! Your show is amazing

The vulnerability and honesty is surely the most important part of this show. However, the quality of the delivery is also something that is so rare and highly appreciated. Thank you Ali 💕

This podcast is heart opening, mind expanding, and deeply inspiring. Ali Weiss is funny, insightful, and extremely caring. I feel like I receive therapy from listening to this podcast. Hearing people confess the things they think are “too much” or “unacceptable” is deeply liberating. This...Read full review »

Welcome back Allie!!! Of course we wanna hear your stories!! As a long time listener from back in HIH days, I can defn say that your stories are why I listened to and supported this pod for all these years. It’s only going to get better. Trust.

Without listener stories, it’s just whining about working. So entitled! “ Work is hard!”

Spent my Christmas down a rabbit hole of this podcast. I found it through Troy McEady and am so glad I did! It’s really entertaining and varied.
Caroline CY via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 01/08/24
so much vocal fry , so much odd smugness , nothing shockingly revealed that an askreddit thread from 14 years ago hasn’t done , if you aren’t smooth brained skip it . If you have lived under a rock or been home schooled dip a salacious toe in but yeah overall avoid , when this is listned to a...Read full review »

Hate the long intros. But the confessions are interesting.
reydavis32 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
Ali is hilarious!! She makes the most taboo subjects not only approachable but downright entertaining.
Amelia Flor via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
Ali is so relatable and the topics she covers are extremely interesting. I’m addicted and have been binging episodes for days!
stoneyybaloneyy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/23
I love listening to differing perspectives. It feels like I get to sit in on a conversation and get to learn more without the pressure of needing to respond. However, I’ve been very bummed that so many of her recent episodes are just reruns of previous ones…. If you are looking for new topics,...Read full review »

I absolutely love how Ali says the wildest of things with the calmest of voice lol. The content is top tier. Nothing crass, yet savage. Also love the inclusivity. Overall an interesting podcast!
hoe9695 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/22/23
Fascinating topics, but most of all I adore Ali the host and creator. I could listen to her talk for hours, she’s uncannily all things intelligent, fascinating, eloquent, profound, adorable, plus much more and all in her velvety enunciation. She seems like a superstar but reminds us she’s just as...Read full review »

So cool to hear varieties of life experiences.

I love this podcast! Great stories told without judgment.I hope it comes back soon.

Terrible execution
How could you! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
Glad I stumbled across this, thanks to a recommendation!
blaireliza via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/23
I recommend throwing yourself on the floor and letting these juicy stories wash over you. Each episode is packed with confessions from real people who get super specific, and every story is nuttier than the next.
mspassell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/23
I’m on my way to the psych ward but this podcast is the only thing that has kept me sane.
mack2911 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/23
I have no idea of how I first came across this podcast, but I love it and it’s one of the most real and honest things I’ve listened to. My only issue would be that it’s really unreliable in terms of when and how often episodes get released. It feels like it’s been awhile since there was a new...Read full review »

Too afraid to talk to your girlfriends at home about something? Don’t worry, your girl Ali has got you covered. No topic is left off the table, and every facet is broken down and dissected, in the best way possible of course. Her voice is something I’d smash over pass, any day, and she’s pretty...Read full review »

I love listening to this podcast.It’s insightful and offers really interesting points of view. Love the host too! She’s a great follow 👏🏻
Kdt711 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/23
I love this podcast ! Listening to the stories told are eye opening and give multiple perspectives on so many different topics! I can’t wait for the new season!
AshleyColetta via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/23
Thanks for this!
Ccnp studier via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/23
Interesting concept, but the podcast needs to settle on a tone. Seems super dangerous to ask people to anonymously share their vulnerable addiction stories and then host an interview with a guest who talks about “loving junkies doubled over nodding out”. Yikes.
Itsallcream via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/15/23
Absolutely loved this interview 💜💜💜💜
DanyalovesBernie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/22
All fake
itwasntmesir45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/22
This show is such a fascinating concept & I think is useful in showing not only experiences people go through but also the “why” of things you may not personally understand. One week you may not personally relate too the topic & the stories open your eyes to others in a non-judgmental...Read full review »

I always walk away from an episode having learned something new, while at the same time being so intensely entertained and captivated that the world around me zones out. I LOVE conversation and in life, am both an avid listener and contributor, and Ali has created a true platform which...Read full review »

My new favorite podcast. It’s so honest, there’s nothing else like it out there.
gracelyon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/22
I love this podcast, it does such a good job of sharing stories that you would otherwise never hear. The host is hot stuff and the eps are so well out together.
belleschmelle via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/01/22
In love with this podcast. I’m in a phase of my life where I want to dive a little deeper into what society judges against, so this was perfect. The stories and anecdotes are fascinating. Escort and bottle service girls episodes were especially eye opening! Much respect for these ladies. And Ali!
Nina Soon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/09/22
Not only does Ali drop the truth, but she does in the most nonjudgemental way. Covering topics both fascinating and unknown to most, she shares stories that are so intriguing, I can’t stop listening. It’s the only podcast I get excited about listening when new episodes drop!
pimpy mcdude via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/22
Love love love this show! Such a wide array of topics with a fun and comedic twist that Ali adds to every episode. The details get dirty and this show provides a voice for so many people with unique stories to tell. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn more about what society doesn’t want...Read full review »

Such an original, fun idea— absolutely love listening to these stories you quite literally don’t hear spoken about publicly
ladm1994 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/22
This is one of my fav podcasts. Ali is a relatable host. The podcast covers topics we’re all secretly interested in getting the “tea” on in a way that makes you reflect, and of course, laugh.
eastofliberty via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/03/22
Great podcast, Ali’s is a unique voice to be heard from. Her shows highlight such important topics and her vulnerability is balanced with a sharp wit and enthusiasm.
Smitty7979 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/22
ali literally gives a voice to and does an amazing job humanizing those who genuinely need to be heard and seen :-)
alittleflea via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
Honestly, I hate podcast. I’m super ADHD so with the lack of visual stimulation I get super bored and distracted and can’t pay attention. However, not with Tales of Taboo. Ali is an amazing host, always has a captivating topic, and is just overall great!
Gage🍾💵 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
I was immediately drawn into this podcast. I learned about it by following Ali Weiss on instagram. I have been a huge fan of hers for a while and am so glad that she created this! Not only is it engrossing and informative, it is truly entertaining and well produced. Each interview is vulnerable...Read full review »
sessisays via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/22
Interesting concept but I wish Ali would cut her beginning monologue to a couple of minutes, unless she starts adding stats/information with sources. She basically says whatever she wants with no back up which I find potentially damaging. I like the stories! More of those, fewer diatribes.
Lelo2006 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/22
SO GOOD! been listening for years and have loved seeing how it’s gotten even better over time

Jeffbanner3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/22
Love this pod! Ali is not afraid of any topic & brings so much thoughtfulness to each ep. So good!
lacwabwa via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/22
I love this podcast, bringing awareness and conversations around “taboo” topics. It’s opened my eyes to other perspectives and gave me a lot of ah ha moments
KayKea via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/20/22
Love Ali’s take on issues many of us are grappling with day to day. She’s poised, offers a totally unfiltered opinion and is a great listen. Highly recommend.
paulib23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/22
GODSENT, to say the least! If you want/need a no BS approach to life advices, you came to the right place! Ali’s podcast really helped me cope with my propensity to overthink about the smallest things in life, things I shouldn’t even allow myself to have space for in my mind lol (as melodramatic...Read full review »
