I listened until the end and continued to ask myself why I was listening, but most importantly why this podcast was made. Seems that people / social media cannot just leave well enough alone, and that prying into others’ lives is more important than protecting their privacy. I do not believe...Read full review »

Recently he has been posting daily messages to his page. I wonder is this him? Is he slowly coming back out?

What kind of person fabricates lies about someone, then tells anyone who will listen? All while simultaneously claiming to love them? Not a good person! This is shameful. Disgusting. Simmons retired. He wants to relax, be alone, dial it down. SO?!? Why would anyone think he owed them an...Read full review »

I was totally invested. I’ll just say. The one who helps 10,000 people today is a hero. No matter if they never help again tomorrow. That said: It is hard to really know people like Richard. They truly care and see people. For most of us that is so rare that we feel it must be love. The only...Read full review »

I’m 42 years old. I know of Richard Simmons I remember seeing his dancing to the oldies when I was a kid but I was never a fan. I remember seeing some clips of him on TMZ more recently. i’m not sure what inclined me to listen to this podcast, but I’m glad I did. It’s a story of a very kind man...Read full review »

this guy sounds like B.J Novak
Idk3675 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/23
An even-handed approach to the why and how a perfectly healthy Richard Simmons vanished into his house without out a goodbye for ANYONE. Personally I think the guy should be brought out by a mob and put in the stocks. For all the good he did, he broke a lot of hearts, and I mean a lot. Why you...Read full review »

What a boring podcast. If Richard wants to be left alone, leave him alone. Its his decision. Grow up. Super immature and desperate.

Has this man never heard of empath fatigue? How did he manage to make a podcast about someone else completely about HIMSELF? Dan- please educate yourself about the countless ways that mental health changes cause pain in people’s lives that happen to effect others. And please realize that you are...Read full review »

well researched and produced, very enjoyable.
emaildaniels via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/23
This was excellent! Binged the entire series while I cleaned my house. I bought 1 of Richard’s tapes. Not because I was over weight……….just cuz he was so much fun to watch! I wish him the peace and serenity he’s seeking. With love and affection ♥️

This was SUCH an interesting listen. Any updates? Also, how about a Britney series in the same vain cuz something is wrong!

I blame Howard Stern. Look back into that timeline and form your own opinion.
Roadmaster 2016 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/02/22
This was so well done. I think it totally makes sense that Richard figured out that the only way he could stop the overwhelming empathy was to shut out everyone.

I’ve always thought Richard Simmons was a wonderful, loving man. This is such a sweet story to hear. Thank you.
Mountain Readee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/22
As noted before, this is straight up stalking with a complete disregard of the subjects feelings and right to privacy. Dan Tabarski tries to hide his obsession behind a veil of well-meaning curiosity and concern, but he turns out to be one scary stan. Pray that you never have a friend or fan like...Read full review »

Great podcast! I easily binged through all the episodes in one day.
JillyKelly via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/22
I’m sure Richard was just mentally and physically exhausted after all those years. I was exhausted just listening to him on talk shows. He should have said a formal Goodbye so everyone could be understanding of his needs to just be alone and quiet for once in his life and there would be no need...Read full review »

I really enjoyed this podcast. Dan did a great job in putting it together. The podcast flowed nicely, kept me entertained and made me quickly look to start the next episode. His take on Richard Simmons was well balanced and very respectful. His delivery was great and easily listenable (is that a...Read full review »

Although I don’t have any Richard stories, he impacted my life throughout my whole life. His energy and love was so palpable and I loved knowing how much everyone loved him all over the world. Miss his presence out in the world, but I just hope he’s happy. Thanks for the great show, Dan!! Can’t...Read full review »

Yuck.
Bunny Cub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/22
Dan is a fantastic podcaster with an amazing voice! Easy to listen to, in fact I have binged all of his podcast’s. Great story, I have wondered what happened to Richard.
ThasTurrable via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/22
This was great. Perfect length, interesting story, and it felt respectful. Didn’t even realize I’d already listened to other seasons by the time I found and listened to this. You’ll enjoy.
Schoncher via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/31/21
Has anyone looked into whether he’s been conserved? Maybe he can’t talk? Just a thought?
CARI Is Awesome via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/21
What a horrible thing to do to someone. Learn to process your feelings of grief without harassing someone.
ekekekeekelelekep via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/21
Richard touched so many lives, he’s made a difference in this world. Hope he is in good spirits and we see him soon!
lwopsdtgcxd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/21
I listened to this not know much about Richard and now I want to know everything! The podcast could have covered more background and been longer but very interesting overall.

Creepy and outing too!

He as quite the exercise guru. Certainly a bit strange but he seemed to motivate the most unfortunate of people. He was the Liberace of exercise masters. You either loved him or just tuned out. I’m very sympathetic to people who put themselves right out there. He was a a great symbol of us...Read full review »

Haven’t learned anything new except about the aggressive sexual behaviors. And the host’s obsession. For some people the ‘Luv-Luv’ stops at Privacy. (Having some.) Maybe he’s writing his memoirs. Or counting his Cash. Why are people such energy hogs?
huenew via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/21
Incredible storytelling! Laughed and was hooked from the first few minutes! You don’t even have to be Richard fan to enjoy this!
bkw45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/21
The host of the podcast showed growth during the podcast which I found entirely engaging. He had the humility to discard preconceptions and not chase the easy sensational plot line to find a respectful ending. RS is a lovely person. This made me appreciate him that much more. It was a love letter.
minnyc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/30/21
Richard Simmons was a character, a role played by an unwell man who grew exhausted playing that part. I always viewed Simmons with great skepticism. Something about him always seemed fake or less than genuine. The fact he disappeared as he has tells a lot about who he is. It’s so sad he...Read full review »
Seaniebouy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/26/21
Refrain from listening to those who felt that the host was being intrusive etc... RS is a public celebrity figure. There are privacy rights that you give up when you go into the world of fams. Also if you felt personally attacked by this podcast then stop listening.
Wubbey17:84837/ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/21
I usually don't waste my time writing a review but this host spent so much time trying to tear apart a man's reputation. While masking it as a podcast to help a "friend in need." Don't waste your time. Just support Richard Simmons if you really care about Richard.Read full review »

Really enjoyed this podcast. Wish the ending was a little happier for his fans. ♥️ but this was very well put together and instantly addictive.
Anchors97 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
This is a podcast about someone who has never been ghosted before.
georgemetric via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/21
Interesting topic. Wanted to know more of the story but stopped listening as the host sounded like a spoiled, entitled 15 year old. I would want to become a recluse too if I had some jackass like this host hounding me. It honestly made me feel uncomfortable like I was hanging out with a...Read full review »

I love this guy, I lost weight on deal a meal back in the days.. I would love for him to come back.. he was in General Hospital if I am not mistaken.. Amazing man, my heart hurts for him, wish’s he would come back.. An amazing man❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loved loved loved! Such a fantastic communicator and interviewer. So interesting, dives into every aspect of the human condition that surrounds Richard Simmons and the gravity of him.

This a really well done piece about an enormously interesting icon.

This podcast was perfection. I loved it. All of it.

I so enjoyed the podcast on Richard Simmons. It was so well done and went by so quickly. I hope Richard is enjoying his life. Highly recommend!
expressgirl727 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/20
Very enjoyable! By the way MARTY Robbins wrote the song Gone with the Wind.
GeoJes13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/20
This isn’t as invasive as when celebrity nudes get leaked, and everyone runs to look at them. But, it’s not much better. If this guy was really Richard’s friend, then I think he demonstrated why R peaced out: his friendships were mostly about what other people got from him. They weren’t about his...Read full review »

I remember loving Richard Simmons growing up and this story really fascinated me.
coufacyn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/20
I felt guilty after hearing in the end this sweet guy is just totally retired! The host is not Simmon’s friend -he starts a narrative so distriptive to Richard’s personal life the podcast inspires a LAPD well fair check & the guy is fine. Also a true friend doesn’t indulge a narrative that...Read full review »

I do not like to leave low ratings on podcasts, but this one deserves it. What a friend you are for parroting a false narrative to the public about a celebrity’s personal life that they’re entitled to keep private. Unbelievable. Don’t subscribe, don’t even bother listening.
zzzzjessica via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/20
Privileged host. Half way through so I imagine the story may change but shaming a place for not cleaning your dogs sick...what a t w a t
