“I don’t know if this could be called reporting. At least not in a professional way. I ‘m not that intetested in hearing how hard it was for the interviewer or that she felt like throwing up. There were times that the interviewer and her experience and opinions was the story - not the people she...”Read full review »

“I’m sad that the Unmarked Graveyard series has ended. It is a deeply engaging series that looked at the lives of the anonymous people who surround us and reminds us that we are all only a heartbeat away from becoming an unknown, anonymous body in the eyes of authorities—lost with no past and...”Read full review »

“I love the podcast I subscribed to, Radio Diaries. But I really don’t love when shows lend their feeds to other shows and suddenly I’m subscribed to and downloading a show I didn’t choose. I get highlighting another show here and there, sharing an episode, etc, but doing this feed swap thing...”Read full review »

“New York may as well be on another continent from what little I know about it but this podcast peaked my interest with its stories of forgotten people buried on an island in a pauper’s cemetery. Imagine one twist of fate and you end up here where, perhaps, no one knows what happened to you or no...”Read full review »

“I started radio diaries last week from the beginning and have loved every moment of it.
I have gotten to the quarantine episodes and I just remember living with my ex and his family. We saved for a house, broke up a month before quarantine and got Stuck. I’m glad that others had better...”Read full review »

“Many of the same episodes over and over and over. I could live with that if they warned you in the title when an episode is a rerun. (Many podcasts are HONEST and label their repeats.) They even CHANGE THE TITLE sometimes so I can’t even rely on scanning the titles of episodes I’ve already...”Read full review »

“I love Radio Diaries but one episode really struck me. I just listened to the episode from April 30, 2021 ‘25 Years of Radio Diaries’ (with Amanda from Teenage Diaries) and I just want to say: I want to be the kind of parent that Amanda’s parents are. I cried all the tears; happy, sad, relief,...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love the stories told here, the quality is unmatched. But to listen to this podcast in a sequential order is beyond painful with how often the stories are repeated. I don’t come to a podcast for reruns. If you don’t have new content you don’t have to post old content just to fill...”Read full review »

“This past week I binged all 160+ episodes. At first I really enjoyed all the stories, but then after a while I started noticing that they just keep recycling the same 20-25 stories over and over again. How many times do we have to hear “Amy‘s Diary“? How many times are you going to replay Studs...”Read full review »

“Honest, beautiful, thoughtful - the diaries episodes are gorgeously narrated, the archival episodes powerfully edited. This show is time capsules and affective oral histories. You will never be disappointed.
My only criticism is that I wish the episodes were longer.”

“Would be a 5 star rating if you weren’t constantly replaying the same episodes. That’s confusing and irritating. At least preface the episode by saying “this is a re-run” outloud. I just let my podcasts play while working so I don’t see the titles.”

“This has great content and I’ve learned a lot about people I wouldn’t have otherwise heard their stories. But three years in I think I’ve heard the same 8 episodes at least a dozen times. If you want to continue to be relevant, you should continue to produce new content. I’m done.”

“While I enjoy the stories, this show continually recycles content, which discourages long-term listening. Occasionally they will preface the title with “revisited”, but sometimes they won’t. For instance, they aired “The Working Tapes” twice within six months and it wasn’t even the first time.”
