“Mike with That Chapter does 2 videos and 1 podcast a week and has no employees. You have a whole team and don’t put out that much content. What gives? Either hand the reigns over to someone else or retire it until you can give more content. Because paying for another “fan favorite” on a Monday...”Read full review »

“LOVE this podcast. You never know what kind of content you are going to hear but it is always well planned, well said and most importantly super strange. As an avid true crime watcher/reader/listener it is rare that I come across a story I don’t already know about. In every other podcast, I will...”Read full review »

“If you are new to his podcast a great place to start is also his YouTube channel! It shows photos, videos, and you get a better visual. His podcasts are great to, because of how they are downloadable and free! Long car rides always feel better with a Mr Ballen podcast!”

“The best thing about this podcast is what the host doesn’t do: the awful “podcast voice.” Just an unaffected voice telling interesting stories without the stagey pauses, tongue clicks, vocal fry or drawn-out vowels.”

But Mr. Ballen I found you and you’re better than any I’ve found yet. Straightforward while entertaining; well-timed storytelling. My review doesn’t do it...”Read full review »

Not only does he choose the most obscure and interesting stories, but he tells them in such a captivating way. It would be so cool if he had a conspiracy, mythical, or lore...”Read full review »
