A podcast that claims to show humanity through intimate private stories. Now dabbling in politics and not even mentioning the humanity on the other side. Completely complicit in war crimes, hate, antisemitism and violation of women! Where is your humanity for the Israeli babies, women and...Read full review »

Thank you for the Dad series, it made me think deeply about parenting and all the little moments where we(parents) loose control and the effect it has on children. Parenting is hard and and being a child is scary, worst team ever! Thank you for your honesty.

Ugh
I listened all the way through SISTERS out of curiosity, thinking maybe it would change my already unfavorable opinion of KP. Instead, it made me unsubscribe from The Heart. I hated this series. KP is so intensely unlikeable and myopic here, and the smug, oh-so-edgy fetishization of her own...Read full review »

Audio storytelling in a way that hits random topics, tells longer tales, or something else, but is always immersive and engaging. Delightful.

I laughed, I cried, I actually (surprisingly) grew to understand my own family better. Kaitlin has a big beautiful difficult story to tell here. She lays it out in a perfect arc. All the actual audio recordings of Kaitlin’s younger self really drew me into the truth and enormity of her quest....Read full review »

I can’t say how much the last couple of series - Sisters and DAD - have meant to me! I appreciate the way you and your family have made themselves vulnerable to share and contribute to these beautiful stories about complicated relationships. It made me feel hope for my own familial struggles. So...Read full review »

I’ve been listening to The Heart for years & just when you think it can’t get any better, it does. Such beauty, & maturity, & well, such heart! So grateful for your art KP. Thank you ❤️

I started listening to The Heart in its early days/ years. It unlocks things inside me. Gives me language for the complexities of intimacy and relating. There’s nothing else like it.

WOW. Mermaid Palace is pure audio brilliance. I’ve been listening since the Audio Smut days & have always loved the style. The Shadows: Super sexy & smart. So quirky. LOVE it all. I want MORE PLEASE!! UPDATE: Mar 2023: SISTERS —-> OH MUH GAWWW. This is SOFA KING GGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Read full review »

Stay rad

I can’t tell you how important it feels to have The Heart back. we are missing audio like this. Kaitlyn Prest was the first to bring it to us and continues to bring it to us, no matter what the industry is doing. Pleas never stop. It’s such a gift. Thank you thank you.

The Heart, more than any podcast I know, feels like a complete gift. It doesn’t ask anything of its listener, only to be still and taken away by mesmerizing sound and story. Am I making any sense? It feels giving and unselfish. Nothing is perfect but The Heart is close.
mspassell via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/21/23
In just one episode so far, Sisters has managed to capture so much of the nuanced love and tension between siblings.
meatythreee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
It’s so great to have new episodes from the Heart. Everyone should listen.

Has helped me through some weird stuff in my life
Yolumba via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 09/13/22
The whole team was so ahead of their time in using the medium as an intentional art form. It’s experimental, beautiful, totally paradigm shifting in what podcasts have the ability to achieve. I LOVE this body of work. As left podcasts shift to increasingly narcissistic contrarianism, the heart...Read full review »

Art
No one is doing it like the heart and audio smut has been doing this for a long time. Fresh, experimental but approachable, with honest and important perspectives
MW3940 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/21
There’s nothing else like the Heart out there. This podcast is a beautiful part of building the world I want to live in. Many episodes leave me flabbergasted just by the fact that they exist and that someone was willing to be this vulnerable and share so deeply. ❤️❤️❤️ so much gratitude.
catnamedchicken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/21
The beautiful, evocative audio essays I’ve listened to this year on the heart regularly demonstrate such a deep understanding of both story and sound design that transport me into new experiences. What a gift!

Just listened to the Race Traitor miniseries, will listen more! Down with white supremacy. Thank you!
DavidKnapen via Apple Podcasts · Belgium · 10/14/20
Thank you for the vulnerability of your show. It has been good company over the years and the honest perspectives and creative story telling are so moving.

You will inevitably end up enlightened, crying, or with your hand down your pants.

Really great show and I always look forward to it. So happy it’s back!

The ad reads are painful to listen to. They feel so slowed down, monotone, and forced.
EmmaKate8 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/20
I really liked the idea of Race Traitor going in, but it's impossible not to come at a show about race, told by a white person, without some higher level of scrutiny. I was disappointed to find Phoebe's point of view lacked a sense of self-awareness and self-reflection. The very thing...Read full review »

AlisonClancy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/21/20
While I admire the efforts to talk about race, I kept feeling like all we were hearing about was how Phoebe coped with her guilt at being white.

What an interesting podcast an innovative way in our 21st century time of exchanging information. As a brown woman I am intrigued- keep up the good work young lady! Carry on!
tiatori via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/20
Thank you so much for making this! Really helped me start thinking harder about interrogating my whiteness and complacency. Please keep at it.

Best best best podcast!
glkefo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/10/20
Thank you for taking this on and giving voice to the emotions and ugly truths white feminists so often hide from or obscure.
xandra_carter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/07/20
Miss KP. These artists are disorganized and put me to sleep. BORING. I was glued to this show post this mush mouthed.... I can’t even understand what they are saying.
speidy-senses via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/20
I have only listened (so far) to the four episodes of Phoebe Unter’s serialized mini-series “Race Traitor” and WOW! What an incredibly invaluable exercise for the mind, body and soul –– it felt like I was bending, stretching, swelling, burning even at moments, all towards a better version of...Read full review »

Years back I learned of The Heart’s existence from either Dan Savage, Kevin Allison, or Roman Mars. A robustly-produced listening experience with a quirky side, I found it eye-opening in its transparent, authentic exploration of feelings and topics, from which other podcasts often steer...Read full review »

I thought the old version of the heart was great but this is taking it to the next level. The title of this review says it all. The heart has become an invaluable resource for those of us queer feminists who’ve maybe taken racism 101, this is 102. For those of us who can slip into feelings of...Read full review »

I wish I listened to this podcast before I had sex for the first time & for the rest of my sexual journey. Phenomenal words & insight. Touched by the mind of women.
Kells7328002 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/20
This podcast is one of the best out there. I’ve been listening to The Heart’s mini series Race Traitor and it’s exactly what I and every white person needs to hear. Thanks for making it. Let’s all do the work.
MxLRG via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/31/20
Used to be a really great podcast dealing with the fundamentals of love, relationships and human emotions. Now they took their brand and using it to push radical leftwing ideas.
yonischott via Apple Podcasts · Israel · 05/31/20
I used to be intrigued by this podcast for the first few seasons with its dream-like story telling. But now, speaking as a privileged halfrican, I don’t feel sorry for you because I know the height of privilege is marked by the ones who live to complain. Live to serve those that you love, and...Read full review »

I love every episode and everybody all to be funny, charming, engaging and inspirational. I appreciate vulnerability and it quite honestly is all I want to listen to or read and this podcast always feels vulnerable and honest. 💚 what a gift
Ginger Cucumber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/20
I’ve been a fan of The Heart for years & always find solace in how every story embodies curiosity + pleasure exploring topics that are often very personal + difficult. The new iteration spearheaded by NK + Phoebe is 🔥erotic af above everything else. Get into it
moody2.0 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/20
The group of women that put this podcast together are amazingly talented. They create works of audible art that take issues in progressive politics (be it racism, feminism or homophobia) that engage the listener into questioning their own lives. They are not afraid of making the listener...Read full review »

The first few seasons were really pretty amazing and special. This season it’s fallen into the death spiral of “intersectional identity politics” and I can’t stomach it any more. No more focus on the intimate subtleties of the heart, no no no, not without a diatribe about micro aggression, race...Read full review »
