As a Jew I will be in the synagogue in two days for...”Read full review »

“The leap is engaging and entertaining. It makes my commute fly-by and often keeps me thinking about the stories all day long. Often I can't wait to get back in the car to hear the end!
The last installment, "I'm Your Man" was so well produced and completely captivating....”Read full review »

Keep up the great work!”

“Excellent stories and storytelling. Captivating in that way only audio can be. I enjoyed the top notch production quality, which is so rare these days. This show should top the charts, it’s just missing the exposure. Please rate and comment so that others can find it and enjoy.”

“I've loved every episode. This is my favorite podcast since the first season of Serial. One idea - I'd love to hear the theme song reinterpreted each season as done on the Wire. Would also love to see you catch up again with some of your subjects. Thanks for such a great podcast!”Read full review »
