“I came across this podcast at a time in my life where travel and change wasn’t possible, but in my mind and in many dark lonely nights Chris would take me with him to meet many friends through his interviews, and was able to travel through his stories.
I was able to dream, grow, and imagine and...”Read full review »

“As a regular and formerly appreciative listener, the most recent episodes have left a sour taste in my mouth. Chris has hosted a steadily upbeat, considerate and bohemian ensemble. He has championed a message about love and hosts an imperfect but wholesome dialogue about real joys, challenges and...”Read full review »

“The podcast I’ve listened to the most within the past 3+ years. Hours a day for a podcast addict like me. While living abroad, traveling, and otherwise, it brings me solace.”

“If I’m being generous maybe one episode in five has merit. Guests with no agenda are sometimes entertaining and occasionally enlightening. Those flogging their book/movie/podcast are often tedious (although Ryan reads the books being plugged, unlike his douche mate Rogan). Avoid the ROMA rants...”Read full review »

“It’s hard to explain what this podcast means to me. On the surface it’s fun and insightful stories of life and travel from an older guy with a life rich in experiences. But through the hardest times in my life, this has been what I turn to and I’m always blown away by how much Chris’ words help....”Read full review »

“Just like to say Chris is Honest, sure u’ll hear stories repeated but u’ll hear that on the JRE too, but I’ve found an honesty that isn’t in podcasts, it’s raw it’s real it’s Hendrix. Take it ur leave if but I love it.”

“I feel like Christopher Ryan is a friend of mine and one of these days. I’m going to meet the guy and we’re gonna have a beer. Just a great dude with very great insights. Well, I don’t agree with him about polyamory I do love his general take on the direction of human civilization. I’ve never...”Read full review »

“Bitter man’s repetitive thoughts about the decline of the world, with increasingly more whataboutism and woo sprinkled in.
I used to listen to this years ago, but have been disappointed for a while now. Downloaded a couple of episodes after not listening for a couple of years. No thanks.”
