“Each episode is a small sonic journey. Sometimes the stories are personal, and sometimes the stories follow a more traditional format with an interviewer and an interviewee. The unique production, music, and the stories combine to create an experimental and engaging sonic experience. It’s...”Read full review »

“This podcast is like exercise for the soul - sometimes I might not be in the mood, but after listening I always feel a lot better than when I started.
Whilst other pods nourish superficial appetites for news stories, unsolved crimes, or cheap laughs, this feeds the deeper subconscious that...”Read full review »

“I’ve been a fan of Here Be Monsters for as long as I can remember, since very early in the show’s run, and it’s been an absolute delight to listen to both HBM & Jeff grow and change through the years. As someone who has gone through life often feeling like a wayward traveler and a lone soul,...”Read full review »

Latest episode is a virtue signal on medical misinformation … this dude has shows dedicated to dumpster diving and hitchhiking and he’s upset with a platform advocating free speech. If you enjoy literal parroting of the mainstream...”Read full review »

““Science welcomes questions. It is not held up by consensus or censorship, but on inquiry and truth. It is not a respecter of position or economic power. Was not Galileo one against the many?”
I would’ve never pegged you for someone who was against questioning and differing views. I don’t think...”Read full review »

“Through this pandemic and well before, this podcast saved me. Not the evangelical, born again kind but deeper- on a spiritual plane I’m still discovering. This is so much more than just a podcast; it’s empathy, family, the essence that runs through every living being.
What are you waiting for?”

“Richly dense. Listening to this podcast is like stretching the veil between what we can (or cannot) see. Air thickens with some sort of (yet to be described) otherworldly reality state. Magical stuff doth emerge with each listen every...single...time. 🦄”

“Like a Norwegian taco.
You know the kind,
with canned corn
and a sweet red sauce
somewhat short of what
can be called salsa.
Yet it touches that spot
in your stomach,
or is it your soul,
that you seldom seek.”

“This was a good podcast about testing on and later euthanizing animals in order to test products and medicine. The speaker helped us understand what it means to be locked in a building for several hours a day in compèany only with captive monkeys. As he became more attatched to them, he grew to...”Read full review »
