In episode 4, Jess tells her three sources that episodes 2 and 3 are about them. This is not, in fact, true. None of this series is about them. Their stories are simply fodder to tell Jess’s own story. The fact that she isn’t transparent about this with the three of them or even with herself...Read full review »

This season was a masterpiece. I can’t even begin to imagine the time and struggle that went into concocting all the arcs in these episodes. I almost missed it because I didn’t want to listen to a meta series. I worried it would be too navel-gazey and boring. But it was so the opposite of that....Read full review »

I listened bc I wanted to like it but the more I listened, the more I became annoyed with the narration and banal insights. The stories shared were not very interesting and neither were the insights shared.

This is a very well made podcast that addresses ethics in documentaries and ultimately asks the listener, “what makes you keep listening to someone’s story?” I will be thinking about these questions for a long time.

Exploitative, wrong-intentioned, collection of stories that should have been sensitive, but were solely for the vanity of the host. A disgrace.

How dare you choose very vulnerable people so you can win some award or get your MAF, you guys keep thinking you are the enlightened but you have is a white/educated saviour complex . You should have chose subjects that could handle all you expectations of podcast development / editing , you...Read full review »

Boring. Narcissistic

Very good podcast. Extremely honest, original idea, thought-provoking. I hope you make many more podcasts like this. Thank you!

A rare thing in a dud show from the excellent Radiotopia. As a regular podcast listener i thought the show was wobbly from episode one but decided to go with it. Ultimately, i feel that it explored very little and took a long time to do so. I accept that not everything is for everyone but i...Read full review »

Just found this podcast and started at season 13. An incredible docu-story, honest, full of perspective and reflection while also being well paced and entertaining. Highly recommend.
nerdyMeesh via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/17/24
Shocking, Heartbreaking, Transformative is the most interactive podcast I have ever “experienced”. Finished the series with an unease worthy of deep consideration. I feel as if I too, as a wide consumer of the format, turned into a main character. The consumption of others “true stories” is...Read full review »

Loved this show!
HanDay100 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
This review is for Shocking, Heartbreaking, Transformative. It’s a must-listen for anyone who has ever told a story about someone else. I deeply appreciated the experiment that Jess designed to test the boundaries of documentary storytelling, and reveal all the fuzziness that exists within the...Read full review »
Reluctant_apper via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
I totally get the idea, and how much work and resources were put into the making of this show. That, I appreciate! But since the author asks us listeners, did we find it shocking, heartbreaking and transformative? To me it was sad to hear about the subjects’s difficult lives, but the podcast...Read full review »

The primary issue with Season 13 lies in its execution. The stories, despite their potential for depth and connection, ended up feeling surprisingly flat. The characters, whose lives and challenges could have resonated on a deeply human level, failed to engage. There was a distinct lack of the...Read full review »

Congrats to the Bot Love team for pulling this off...Bot Love is well done and a fascinating project to listen in on.
mspassell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/23
This podcast is just another liberal “But WhITe PeOple” I couldn’t even get through the first episode without cringing so hard. This show is just horrible. Why are we as a society so accepting of this pandering trash.
Tetra24069 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/23
Titillating series that is one sided. No context is given for the participants. Except that they are all true believers, that were burned in “human” interactions. And they end up getting “ burned@ in their AI interactions as well. The elephant is not addressed and is likely beyond the scope of...Read full review »

This seems to be like real like rendering of the movie ‘Her’, for real!! Started off as a black mirrorish series to me, but then you realise, then you empathise. If you’ve seen ‘Into the wild’, Christopher’s last words are “Happiness is only real when shared”. This Replika company provides...Read full review »

I listened to every available episode of Bot Love in one day. Fascinating topic, excellent reporting, compelling story telling, and high production values. I hope to hear more from these makers.
Mad mad mad mad Jax via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/23
A really fascinating, modern topic I think everyone will be thinking about more in the near future. The podcast has interesting stories and incredible sound design bringing these artificial voices to life. It might change your mind about human robot relationships.
Lordmaul1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/15/23
Without a doubt this podcast is of the best I’ve listened to. There is no other podcast that can compete with such raw and humbling emotions packaged in this podcast. Jason Reynolds had my curiosity as as reader of his work but his mother is what kept my attention.

So impactful, if you voted less than a five you a lame

This podcast is absolutely precious and absolutely touches the heart. It is raw and open and honest. I can’t recommend it enough.

Started listening after hearing on Ear Hustle Love the genuine conversation..

Thank you for sharing and creating this podcast. Now your mom has taught me something that will be with me forever.
haplistner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/22
This podcast is really like a painting with words - like an impressionist painting- it evokes the nature of its subjects with a few brush strokes- revealing in small images the lives it explores. Revealing more profound truths about life. In such a short sequence I’m amazed at the sense I have of...Read full review »

Pitch perfect prose!
GG LBC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/22
This was like a walk down memory lane. The wisdom of Jason’s mother reminded me so much of my own mother. I grew up in Maryland during 60’s and 70’s and I found so much was relatable. This was such a joy to listen too. Keep going Jason keep going!

Thank you for sharing your Mother with us, both she and you bring perspectives that are enjoyable and exciting.

Radio storytelling like I have not heard. Thank you.

Hit Dog Will Holler is astoundingly good, from writing to acting to production. Tense, exciting, and so full of realness and dread. I binged it in one day bc I couldn’t put down my headphones, I had to know what was next. Thank you Snap Judgement for introducing me!

Once you start listening to this podcast, you will not want to stop. Seriously! Not only is Afia hilariously funny, but her mom, family & everyone she encounters. I hope a Part 2 is in the works. Her journey as a Ghanaian-American finding her roots & discovering her sexuality is...Read full review »

This show is gorgeous! Funny, loving, personal, beings you right into her experience. The sound and production - and Afia’s voice! - are gorgeous. And I’m learning so much too. Best podcast I’ve come across in a long time. Brava!

I’ve listened to many podcasts over many years and this is the first time I’ve ever been moved to leave a review. The soundscapes created in each episode, the use of actual dialog to bring the setting and the main characters to life, and the way the self-hating monologues were spliced into the...Read full review »

This podcast almost felt like an audio book because the host was very descriptive and sucked in the listener. I binged listened because I was eager to know what happens next

Only about 13% commit over half of the crime. Wonder which group that is hmmmm?
Dunning-Kruger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/21/21
Loved listening to Matthew! Highly recommend his podcast. It was funny, touching, and made me think about many things from a fresh perspective. Matthew will go far - what a talented guy. I hope we get to hear more from him.
ShutterBoothChicago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/15/21
I love listening to matt guide me through his love. I’ve been curious about what being blind might be like, but can’t really find an unintrusive way to ask about it or discover more. This podcast is a total eye-opener ; ) good luck with the dating Matt!
SarahKaur via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/16/21
I love this podcast! I have shared it with my children, and it has sparked many great conversations about diversity, compassion, and gratitude. The Brick by Brick episode was especially poignant as we are a LEGO-loving family. I loved the insight about how building things gave perspective as to...Read full review »
