“I didn’t know a lot about Robin Williams before diving into this podcast, having grown up with him in roles in movies like Aladdin or Mrs Doubtfire. This podcast served to draw back the curtain and explore the life he had that was often complex, messy and full of turmoil. While there were issues...”Read full review »

“I’m so distracted by trying to understand how the host can seem to be both over- and under-enunciating at the same time. She’s seriously awful.”

“Wonderful podcast! Robin Williams was a game changer for the comedy world. I am a child of the eighties and grew up watching his movies and loving them. He was a phenomenal actor. After listening to the podcast, I have realized that he was a phenomenal human also. His unique voice is sorely...”Read full review »

“Very interesting and concise, full of details and audio clips. It was wonderful to have the chance to follow along the path of Robin's rise and eventual drifting down of his brilliant star. He is sorely missed and this was a great and respectful telling of his life that I would recommend to...”Read full review »

“Three episodes in, and I agree with other reviews, the narrator could use some work. Her diction is poor to the point of being distracting. Journalism is good. The guests are a little tangential at times. Will continue to listen because I’m interested in the life of Robin Williams.”

“The guy has such an annoying voice and seems to just make random hypothesis abut everything. He doesn’t seem to know much about Robin.
The sound editing is terrible- constantly turning volume up and down.
You can skip this one.”

“The series, points out the complexities of a certain person. All that made him who we saw, but fails to offer a connection to “The King Fisher “ and spiral that is each of us. I almost didn’t send this”
