I absolutely adore every single episode. I never ever re-listen to podcasts, however that changed when I discovered you!

Most recent episodes about your early life have been enthralling. Well worth the price of subscription.

Cw_ak via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/22
The stories in this podcast are so captivating and well told. I hope there will be more episodes sometime!
squirrelagirla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/22
But ‘The Truth’ was a really grotesque story and I feel like the host completely missed the mark and made an episode that is almost dangerous. For goodness sake the man molested two little girls. And the podcast is largely syrupy, mournful sympathy about how the woman misses him so much and...Read full review »

Let’s go Leah! Miss you! Time to get back into it!
HolafromHawaii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/21
I discovered this podcast last week and I am sad to have already finished all of the episodes!! I can’t wait for new episodes! Great work
nnnnnnnnbp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/26/21
Lea your transparency is fascinating and much appreciated. I find it refreshing when you talk about your struggles in the moment without knowing where it will go. This pod is fantastic. Best of luck on your journey. I will be listening.
sadclown12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/21
I was reading some of the bad reviews in this and just wow people are such buttholes. I really love this show. Lea is so passionate and real. And yes she does whine sometimes but I love that too because it’s real. There are struggles when your doing work that is an art and work that you enjoy....Read full review »

This podcast is hands down one of my favorites. Heart felt, full of souls, wonderful storytelling and always interesting. Listen! Please! You won’t regret it! So happy she is back, no one else could do it better. Get pushing through, we need this podcast in this crazy world.
Rachaelraydm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/13/21
And she’s back! I appreciate your vulnerability about the last few years. I’m here for the growth (yours and mine) ❤️🙏🏽

I’ve never written a review for a podcast but just saw there were hardly any eps left even though this podcast has been made over 7 years and I’m a bit devo - because I don’t want it to end. Every story is brilliant and compelling and insightful and I want more! Thank you to all who make it and...Read full review »

Lea ...great to have you back!!..a true artist
jamesy 01 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/31/21
Lea, I love the stories you share and truly appreciate the work that goes into making them. Just subscribed through Patreon because I don’t want to miss a thing!
SJ827 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/20
Enjoyable and intelligent listening ... great audio accompaniment to life. Lea Thau is a pioneer in the art of story telling ... her series on kidney donation was awesomeness and impactful ... holds up as the best podcast I have heard. Psyched Lea Thau is creating new content!
cclehr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/20
The people and stories that Strangers choose to highlight always seem to move me deeply. The episodes remind me of New Yorker articles, where I start out thinking, “uhh, do I really want to commit 40 minutes to someone who jumps off bridges?” But by the end, I’m blown away and recommending it to...Read full review »
DJ Dumdub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/13/20
This is my favourite podcast in the world. Lea is the perfect host. She brings people on that have the craziest, most shocking, most honest stories. I have cried for whole episodes, I have laughed, I have been in disbelief, and I have heard about life viewpoints and experiences that I couldn’t...Read full review »
ElenaLopezalwayshappy via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 11/16/20
I saw that Strangers was recommended to me and thought that I would give it another try. Ugh - I forgot how pathetic, desperate and self indulgent Lea is. If you want a real storytelling podcast try Heavyweight or Invisibilia. And the Patreon “I want to be an artist and need to protect my...Read full review »
Ms DPG via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/14/20
It’s sad and difficult to listen to this host describe her deceptive behavior and thirst for drama with so little self-awareness.
maiway via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/20
I’ve followed Strangers since it joined Radiotopia, and greatly resonated with the Love Hurts episodes. I was so struck by her vulnerability and bravery to ask her past lovers what went wrong. She’s a fantastic, introspective and compassionate storyteller who takes you through the emotional...Read full review »
Phantasmalmirth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/03/20
I listened to it for a while because here and there, I can tell that the producer is actually a really good storyteller. But time and time again I find myself wondering what perspective I am listening to. I dont like hearing someone whining from their ivory tower and hard life and houses (most...Read full review »
Amiratara via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 11/02/20
I have followed Lea for years and recently became a Patreon. All I can say is Just Listen.
SailorFamiLee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/20
I’m so sad! I was looking for the Jack episodes. Ugh. I want you to come back!! This is my favorite podcast and would love it if you continued!! Came to write a new review to say “YAY! You’re back!! Please PLEASE keep doing these.”
LeahZ85 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/20
The narrator took a good podcast concept and totally ruined it with her narcissism and whining. I’ve also had a hard couple of years- but don’t think my personal problems make a good podcast or that anyone should care. Lea’s problems are easily the least interesting of anyone one the planet. If...Read full review »
Mother0fdragons via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/20
I’ve listened to a lot of the episodes and, while they often address interesting topics, the way that the narrative is so centered around the host is difficult to put up with. The general format is good and the host seems both kind and competent. However, too often there is always a moment when...Read full review »
User dude775 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/20
Why keep saying something is coming if nothing comes. A few years ago you said you weren’t going to do so much about your drama yet the one episode you put out recently went on about you. It’s humorous at this point.
Lauramacky via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/20
First, a huge thank you to Lea and her team for all the hard work in delivering to us this brilliant podcast. I started my new hobby of listening to shows with the equally brilliant Criminal with Pheobe Judge...you both have such fantastic dulcet tones, so easy on the ear..so open and honest..you...Read full review »

I can’t wait for more episodes .
EricaH3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/20
I got ready to write a review and see I had written one back in 2018 where I said "Lea Thau is a gem." I still love her show, even though she dropped off the grid for about 2 years. I now pay Patreon $2.50/month (the lowest subscription rate for her show is only $1/month) because itis so...Read full review »
OG in NC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/20
Strangers used to be my favorite podcast - the first one I discovered on my own. I was so sad when it disappeared and often checked back for an update. Well it’s back but in Lea’s own words it’s being prepared for Patreon. I listen to a lot of podcasts and never have I heard a host whine so...Read full review »

Thank you Lea for coming back to the world. It's so great to hear your voice in this challenging time in the world!

Just listened to Wilmot of Helena and it was one of the most heartbreaking and hopeful stories I have heard in sometime. Magnificent. I am definitely subscribing to Patreon.
