Just found this today and I’ve listened to 5 episodes already. Wonderful story telling and a well put together show

Well executed podcast that’s interesting and extremely well produced. Seriously, the audio quality and effects mixed with the intriguing, well-told stories are the gold standard. This is a must listen.

I stumbled upon “Risk” one day, I was fed up with true crime and listening to celebrities drone on and on about themselves. I needed something with substance, weight; but also lighthearted and funny. Risk has all of those qualities and I absolutely adore this show. Every single episode is...Read full review »

Risk! Is such a gem. It is my go-to for when I want a podcast that is ALWAYS engaging. It seriously has never let me down. I usually try to extend whatever activity I’m doing so I don’t have to pause the episode 😂 so many different amazing stories from so many different people. Makes me feel like...Read full review »

This was previously my favorite podcast for many years but the show has gone way downhill. Kevin and his team have become obsessed with censorship and only sharing stories that fit their political narrative. They have made everything about politics and their agenda and now if there is something...Read full review »

Iv been listening since 2016 and this show has gotten me through thick and thin. There a people from all wakes of life that have shared their stories on Risk and to me there is no greater value than putting yourself in other peoples shoes. Having empathy is one of many things we could strive for...Read full review »

This show always has great stories. The only negative is the host's banter and sometimes annoying music. I usually have to skip past an average of eight minutes of annoying yakking before I get to the stories. Otherwise, great great stories.Read full review »

I look forward to risk every week! This show has changed my life and made me a more compassionate and grounded person
Monocazzx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/24
Meh
Disappointed as this was highly recommended to me. Trite stories that don’t read as believable- maybe loosely based on truth. Some are well told, most too predictable to be engaging.
DJDane via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/04/24
I started listening to this podcast as background noise when I had a living situation with nothing to listen to or watch. It started out just when I slept. Stories would wake me up and I’d listen. I’ve been through the whole thing on two different platforms a few times now. I’ve actually heard...Read full review »

I love Risk. I’ve laughed a lot and learnt a lot. But a recent episode, Over the Line, crossed a line. The first story teller, TaTa Sherise, a woman of colour who was car jacked by two men of colour, implied that it would have been preferable for her attackers to rob a nearby couple because they...Read full review »

Shows no respect politically. Why does politics have to be involved anyways?
cjwilson1952 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/23
Changing my prior 5 star rating. Skipped over several recent episodes - never done this before. The stories are just not what they used to be.
Genie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/23
I’m so grateful to have found this show. I’ve learned so much and have been endlessly entertained by these stories. This show has been excellent company!! Truly a treasure trove of human experiences.
candy_lllll via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/23
Love the stories but hate that it takes 5-6 minutes to get to the stories!
Morris012 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/23
I love the risk stories so much!! However I have to skip ever part where Kevin Allison talks because I find gun obnoxious and extremely unfunny. So cringe and obnoxious.
Kate122821 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/23
This is my favourite podcast, hands down. Kevin is so funny and personable, he seems like such a lovely guy.
Lombsay via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/15/23
RISK! never disappoints. So many funny, powerful, vulnerable stories on this podcast. It’s a must-binge!
Julia Lechner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/23
This podcast is my new lover.
Skip-to-ma-loo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/23
Stop peddling for money like you’re the Jerry Lewis Marathon. OMG. You are spreading yourselves too thin. You’re broke?????? Trouble sleeping. So stressed? Risk is one of the best podcasts out there but no one I know has ever heard of it. Maybe you should put efforts into marketing rather...Read full review »

Wow
So not funny or even remotely entertaining. How did they do so little with so much?
LKayKas via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/23
Personal political commentary ruined this podcast.

Where have you been all my life? Taking a deep dive and loving it.
Toothfae via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/10/23
This show isn’t entertaining. It’s full of cursing and worthless stories.
livin4dios via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/23
When this show started I would look forward to it every week. Brazen, erotic, daring and ghastly stories of things one would never tell another soul. The stories had no agenda - they were just mostly FUN. However, especially over the past few years this show has gone woke to the point where I...Read full review »

Kevin, did you and your wonderfully brave guest Regina, know that David Byrne is on the autism spectrum, and I think he identifies as having Asperger‘s. If she and her partner didn’t already know about that, it seems an amazing gift the universe gave them, with that sign. What we mothers need is...Read full review »

I want to like this podcast, and I’ve tried. I like stories, but the way the host Kevin speaks is just so grating I couldn’t get into it. If there was a version with just the stories or a host that was easier to listen to, it’d be much better.
Plaitty via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 04/13/23
I love Risk! so much. Kevin Allison is hilarious and authentic. He is unabashedly himself and has created a space for others to be their authentic selves and tell their stories. I love that anything goes on this podcast. It’s refreshing to hear people talking about things that may be considered...Read full review »

A new record for Kevin prattling on for a full 8.5 minutes before the show. It should be kept under under 4

I recommend Risk to everyone I encounter. This podcast is full of authenticity and rawness, I am always moved, sometimes to tears other times to laughter and often to shock! Love all the emotions each episode evokes. Kevin Allison and his team are dynamite!
Brenda G. Tamarindo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/23
🤔 honestly I don’t know what to do
Isis inde via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/17/23
I have been listening to this podcast for more than 5 years now. I have laughed too hard, cried and gone through so many emotions on this podcast. Absolutely love it and Kevin is awesome 😊
Shrishtirana via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/13/23
I would love to give Risk! 5 stars. I value the no limits environment that encourages honest, hilarious, authentic storytelling. Laughing alongside the storytellers in moments of vulnerability as well as revealing the not so shiny aspects of their personality and experience. There are...Read full review »

I absolutely adore Kevin. Kevin is funny and kind. I really appreciate this platform for story telling Kevin has developed and delivers. I admit some of the stories can sometimes be a bit triggering for me, so I really appreciate the trigger warning before each potentially triggering episode. I...Read full review »

Found out about Risk earlier this year and subscribed after a few episodes. I hit a string of good episodes, with every story being interesting, but eventually I reached some that didn’t really get to any point or fell pretty flat in the end. That’s to be expected though since not every story...Read full review »

Imagine my dissapointment when I tuned in. No talk of startegy regarding the early aquisition of Europe , techniques for long term farming in Australia or weather a 3 on 1 going into Congo could ever be called a good idea (hint it is not EVER). I mean it's an o.k. podcast but it aint my RISK!Read full review »

Never fails to entertain, make me laugh, ring tears to my eyes. I love Kevin especially, who brings warmth and depth to every aspect of this show.

Kevin is a national treasure!

After listening to the recent rerun of you on Trying. I want to send you a huge hug. Because of Risk i took a risk back in 2015 to start being the real me. It has definitely not been easy but the stories on Risk and your honesty and openness helped. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone...Read full review »

This review is for you! Please don’t stop doing you. As the host, creator, story teller and whatever. This show is a huge success because of you. The show is amazing.

Kevin I’ve been a RISK listener for 4 years now and for some reason I’ve yet to figure out, the show just’ isn’t for me anymore.

I’ve been listening to Risk! for about ten years now. I still look forward to each new episode. The host, Kevin, is an amazing human and advocate and really makes the podcast feel like home. Also, he has an outstanding sense of humor and often leaves me laughing out loud. I have struggled with...Read full review »

RAW
I love this show. It is brave and true. Some episodes make me feel uncomfortable some (very few) have made me feel so uncomfortable that I chose to skip the story. No need to slam the whole show because one persons story makes me cringe. I still appreciate the fearless honesty and Kevin for...Read full review »
