“I discovered this show about half a year ago and have been binge-listening to its episode since then. What fascinates me the most about the show is that all the stories happened to people actually living their life in the real world. Similar to what I feel when reading a good novel, I feel my...”Read full review »

“One of my favourite podcasts of all time, having only just discovered it in the last 6 months. Such a beautiful collection of stories: happy, sad, ordinary, unbelievable, hilarious. But all so wonderfully poignant in their own way. Devastated that Spotify cancelled the series so soon after...”Read full review »

“I’m still looking for a show that compares to this, and cannot find it. For a single show to be so hilarious and also so touching is extraordinary and uncommon. It’s simply my favorite podcast ever.”

“Loved this podcast. Johnathan is great. I too love being the person who connects ppl although not usually for such significant and awkward reasons as Johnathan has been tasked with. I love the way he makes ppl feel at ease. I was sorry to see the podcast come to an end.”

“The podcast ‘The Retrievals’ included the episode ‘Another Roadside Attraction’ and I cried so much! It got me thinking on how people may have a different story about who we are based on what parts of our lives we share with them. Pam’s life was filled with so much pain. The closing statements...”Read full review »
