I recently found this podcast and couldn’t stop listening. Rodney tells a great story! I look forward for new episodes. The season 1 finale is amazing! You definitely will NOT be disappointed.

This show is very nice not too long, not too short and not too much unnecessary chatter. The stories are fun, entertaining and original. I like that and I love the characters and explanations afterward, very insightful. Keep sharing the new content.

I listen a TON of horror content. I do not know how I’m just now finding this podcast, but here we are. This podcast is amazing. Rodney Barnes is one of the best horror podcast hosts around today. He is a wonderful speaker and his writing is beautiful. This podcast is a heartbreakingly poetic...Read full review »

I love Mr Ballen podcasts and his narration style so when I heard a sample of Run, Fool! I loved it too. The way Rodney narrates is how it should be when telling stories like these. He sounds like a guy just telling you a story, but in a natural way. Not like he’s reading from a script. I need...Read full review »

Started listening as a Mr Ballen follower. Great addition to his stories. These stories are creepy and entertaining I have to be careful when I drive to them! Rodney is one of the best storytellers out there, keeps me on the edge of my seat!! Highly addictive.

Started great but the constant reruns n skipping weeks telling other stories from other podcast.. the last 2 months really changed my mind about this podcast

This podcast is awesome. I needed a break from true crime and gave this a try. Absolutely love it! The stories are great. Rodney’s storytelling skills are unmatched. However, after making it through the first 10 episodes, I found myself being skeptical of everything. Suddenly anything that...Read full review »

Hmmm someone watch “Bishop of Battle “

When books and podcasts weave product placements into their stories… it’s the end of creativity. You can have ad segments that are clearly separate from the story in podcasts, but keep them OUT of the story itself. Repulsive.

I know people need to make money from this but the amount of ads lately is making it almost unlistenable. Three seperate ads, each around two minutes long, in one 25 minute episode is just too much. It’s such a shame because Rodney is such a great narrator and the stories are top notch. This...Read full review »

The stories told here at, Run Fool, I have never heard anywhere else, and I have listened to them all, tons and tons of scary stories in podcasts and on different YouTube channels. These stories are truly unique and they get you hooked. Fantastic narrator, wonderful quality!
ValleyMermaid via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/24
This show is everything a horror/fiction anthology pod should be. Forget the elaborate soundscapes, over done voice acting (although, Mr. Barnes’ voice is lovely) and tired, old, cheesy tropes. This show is all about the exquisite writing. It delivers on such a cerebral level - you end up...Read full review »

I heard a preview of the show on another podcast I listen to and immediately ran to listen to the rest of the story, next thing I knew, I was binging the entire podcast. I love, love, love this podcast. It’s fun to hear scary stories the way we,(Black People) tell stories. One episode a week is...Read full review »

I can’t express how much I love this podcast from the stories to Rodney’s storytelling. It is amazing. The stories always have a great lesson to consider and you can tell he was made to pass along these stories to us. I also love how he reminisces on his grandmother which has brought me to tears...Read full review »

I am an avid podcast listener. I listen to a wide range, but I lean towards Cryptid and supernatural podcasts. This is one of the best I listen to. The presentation is what differentiates it from the others. It makes it seem so much more personal and real. I would recommend it to anyone remotely...Read full review »

Too many racist phrases.

I really like this podcast. Host is a good storyteller. I’ll be back for more episodes. Thanks!
Zeegha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/07/24
When I tell you his voice is like butter!! It’s so soothing. Oddly enough these stories and his voice helps me go to sleep. The stories are well written and fun to listen to.
Lovinitalways via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/24
I stumbled upon this podcast and, as an avid fan of storytelling, AND this genre, had to check it out. The stories are well written and beautifully narrated. Be prepared to be taken on a journey with every story!
Lildeb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/24
Honestly, I came from a couple of other podcasts I finished and I can say that this podcast has more than just potential. His voice is far from monotone and the pod’s content is far from messy- chaotic and intentional? Sure- because that’s how generational folklore stories are told. That is the...Read full review »

I love that the stories are mostly based in actual lore. I love the host and the style. This is the best horror podcast I have ever heard. I binged the whole thing in two days
Moe-76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/24
I absolutely love this show. Rodney is an amazing story teller and on a couple stories I got choked up. Glad I found Run Fool.
Punishers mc original via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/24
I’ve always only listened to MrBallen’s voice when it comes to storytelling. I believed nobody could compare. But Mr. Rodney, my goodness! His voice is magnificent and keeps me hooked!! Now I have two favorite podcasts! The stories are incredible!!!
Anselmnn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/29/24
Can’t get enough! Binged all episodes when I first found this podcast. Now, I have to patiently wait for the weekly drop. Hooked!!

FluffHead420 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/24
Rodney read it like a cold read mispronouncing several words and number awkward phrasings. The story made no sense at all. Why would a perpetually starving creature leave a leg lying about? The location was supposedly far off in the tullies but she walked there in one evening and then nearly...Read full review »

I’m a 13 year old that has extreme trauma from when I was younger but this podcast is one of the things that I like I’m extremely picky but this is the place for people who like horror stories and ghost stories and I’ll stop yapping

I think your voice is good for the type of podcast this is and I was wondering if there is a book
LonelyAloen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/24
Great narration. Interesting stories that are creepy and eerie but not graphic terror. Well produced and cleverly made . I highly recommend .
SRstarr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/24
I love your podcasts so much!!😁😁😁
loves dogs1749 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/24
The stories that are told are great to listen to while going on a road trip or something like that, Rodney Barnes’ storytelling skills are almost up to the level of Mrballen himself! Huge fan of everything that’s part of Ballen Studios.
ChrisTheOstrich via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/12/24
Excellent writing/creating! Profound lessons/messages in every story! Love Rodney Barns creations and narrations! Thank you!
dancinglight555 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/24
Rodney Barnes masterfully uses his creative mind cauldron to whip up a fresh weekly potion of horror & historical tales that will have you impatiently waiting for Tuesday! Run, Fool is entirely addictive! You’ve been warned.
drmpsmith via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/24
This show is entertaining. I can’t wait for each new episode.
AnimlNitr8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/24
I’m absolutely addicted to Mrballen when he talked about RUN FOOL after one of his stories on YouTube I wanted to check it out but didn’t wanna bother with the podcast well long story short I’m hooked. I even listen to this in my car now on car play. Just pick one and listen you won’t regret it!!!
Ach2704 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/24
I don’t understand how it’s possible for every story to be better than the last. But Rodney seems to have the unique gift shared with Mr.Ballen to get better with every upload. If you love a great story teller with an even greater voice, look no further.
Nixie730 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/24
Just listened to Run Fool, and I think my ears just hit the jackpot!
mmohler via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/24
It’s simple Rodney is great at what he does. That being one of the best story tellers
voodoo808 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/24
This is the best podcast in the world better than anything I ever heard your podcast gives me chills and I love it you make the story’s sound so much better when you tell them keep up the good work also your grandma sounds so cool I wish I could have her as my grandma

Very well done podcast. Great voice Great story telling.
TonyWoz777 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/09/24
Without telling you my life story; I find it challenging to go to sleep because of my own waking nightmares. These horror stories narrated with the reassuring timbre and cadence of Rodney’s voice brings me a sense of calm that I have not yet found anywhere else. This is a fantastically produced...Read full review »
