“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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.

“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?”

“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.”
