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 »

Well done always. I loved this last series about unmarked graves. Profound.

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 »

... and sometimes sadder, but in a beautiful way, like the vastness of the sea or the everchanging waves of faces in a big city.

Extremely well done series, full of surprises and well told.

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 »

The first episode of this podcast gives me so much hope in humanity

Keep up the excellent work. I really enjoy others views and getting the opportunity to live in others worlds

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 always learn something from this podcast. I especially like the way Joe Richmond gets out of the way and lets the people he’s interviewing do the talking, yet the interviews are poignant and Concise
Lee B. in PA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/21
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 »

Amazing to hear people’s stories.
Beki1020 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/02/21
This was the first ever podcast I listened too and it’s still my favourite. Joe’s stories so well told and so heart warming. This is my go to! I have listened to them all several times. Thanks for making such an amazing podcast. ❤️

One of my favorites So we’ll researched and always so good I highly recommend!!!!!
Frenchislit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/21
This is one of the best podcasts out there. Every episode is incredibly beautifully made. You can tell that so much love has been put into each story being told. It's wonderful to hear so many voices from decades ago to today.Read full review »

Well done team. Amazing research, documented and produced to a “T”. For those that haven’t heard it Radio diaries is the podcast A game!!
pauldeeeeer via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/16/20
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.
Delaney Rohan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/20
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.
Hbauttttttttttt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/20
Love at first quarantine was a perfect little pod. The duet at the end was sweet.

I love interesting podcasts and storytelling. This is a great way to enjoy both and learn a little history and interesting facts. They get to the point. They don’t talk about themselves or off-topic subjects. I really enjoy this podcast!!
Teresa 103 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/20
So happy you have returned with the latest one! Oh my days! I look forward to this new route! Thank youuu. I hope the are safe and pass this event like the others xx

I love the storytelling
searchingforsandwiches via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/20
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.
riot.thyme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/19
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.

Just great content

I’d love a podcast about obits. It’s always the first thing I read in the paper!
SparkyB via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/29/19
Anyone getting 2-3 repeats of the podcast?
Kiki.li3 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/22/19
Great voices and stories.
AK0008 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/20/19
This podcast is really great at getting a look into things I would have never really thought about before. I heavily enjoyed their Prison Guards episode. It felt real and raw, but the sound effects and transitions made it super entertaining and I didn’t feel like it dragged on too long. The...Read full review »

This podcast is very educational and gives the view of what is like to a correctional officer, it also gives you an idea of what happens with a new correctional officer. It will also show you don’t need any other law enforcement past to become a correctional officer. It has shown it has given up...Read full review »

This podcast is very interesting and entertaining because it sheds light on the lives and experiences of correctional officers. This podcast is perfect for a group of people interested in the academics of correctional institutions or for anyone else who is interested in knowing more about the...Read full review »

I listed to the prison guard diary podcast and it was extremely well made. Listening to the experiences that the prison officers and what they are thinking about as something happens is very creative and a great way to really know and learn about their jobs. This is definitely a good podcast to...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast and all of the interesting stories you share I really wish though, that you would make more of an effort to make it clear in either the title or description that an episode is a reupload. I got so excited that the 4/2/19 upload was a NEW working tapes and was a...Read full review »

Really enjoyed the podcast on the walls that are Southern USA borders. Never knew that the Rio Grande has changed and how complex the Border issue that complex.
Ed AB Canada via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/17/19
Definitely could have been good if the hosts didn’t approach every topic with their SJW crap.

Wow
History and information nerds unite! Even if you aren’t someone who loves to muse over minutia, you will be awed at some of these fantastic tidbits. Nothing is long enough that you have to find time to fit it into your day. Just perfect!
jonesingforwashington via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/18
Listen to the Nelson Mandela at 100 episode and that should be enough to convince you. I've listened to Radio Diaries for years and always found the episodes are illuminating and worth waiting for.Read full review »

The best way to hear about life... from those living it. We’ve all got a story to tell.
mineking1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/18
Intriguing human interest stories from the voices of the actors of the event themselves. Fantastically edited and well told, this podcast is a must listen.
