I got from rice pudding served to me by a restaurant that knowingly had several employees with Salmonella working. I already had bleeding ulcers in my...”Read full review »

However, this podcast suffers, like so many others with low-production value, from unprofessional delivery. In the past, people were not allowed to...”Read full review »

“There are so many issues with the company “Better Help.” There have been too many reported patient issues with this brand to still be promoting them. Their counselors are not trained to diagnose anybody with anything, they offer generic advice and coping mechanisms if they offer anything at all....”Read full review »

My only minor suggestion would be, can there be a *warning* put in the bio if the medical mystery being discussed results in death or no resolution. I find these stories just fascinating! But I do sometimes have moments of major health anxiety...”Read full review »

“One of the greatest podcasts in the Mr.Ballen Range. The medical mysteries are entertaining and thrilling at the same time. The fact that MrBallen tells the stories himself just makes them pop out of the podcast…

“This is a great podcast. The host has a wonderful voice; a beautiful timbre in tone and excellent pacing make each story a pleasure to listen to, minus one glaring flaw.
The host uses the word “totally” much too often. If it were a drinking game, we’d all be three sheets to the wind by the end...”Read full review »

“I think the medical mysteries are interesting and entertaining - like an episode of House, but I think that the host is telling the story to middle schoolers. He over emphasizes and over enunciates words, uses extremely basic vocabulary that is repeated over and over again (“shook his head,”...”Read full review »

“Im really enjoying this channel even though it can give me more anxiety than the strange dark and mysterious stories! Lol
Its kinda weird how some people are hating on you for picky grammar issues or promoting your channel. Are they new to the internet?
Anyway, keep up the good work!”

“‘shaken to the core’.
‘hanging on by a thread’.
‘like moving through a fog’.
overuse of ‘desperately’, ‘absolutely’,
‘craved _______ the way an addict craves a fix’
‘like having a car with no gas in the tank’
‘a wave of nausea washed over…’
‘a last-ditch effort’
ouch.”

“The content has so much potential. Unfortunately, the host’s cadence and pronunciation ruin it. It sounds like he’s trying to be a TV news anchor.

“You spin a good tale, but your grammar and phrasing seriously undercut the quality. Nauseous means making someone else sick. Nauseated means feeling sick. Lie is to recline; lay ts to place. Bring it here; take it there. And so much more!
Please fix it.”
