“Show Host provides great dialogue, however, after listening to Pang in my Heart I wonder how you’re finding material.
The individual in that episode was the worst liar and made the least sense of anyone I’ve ever heard on a podcast. She ranted on and on about how her aunt was narcissist, but she...”Read full review »

“I love listening to the show and the great stories, but I could do without that host’s personal opinions/judgements. I.e. if someone says they got away with a lot of things as a teenager, he doesn’t miss an opportunity to say how different things could have been if their skin was a different...”Read full review »

“Can’t say enough about how excellent the host and show are. The one takeaway from listening to many, many episodes is that the majority of the secret holders have their secrets because they are timid and unwilling to face difficult situations, so they shy away from doing what they need to in...”Read full review »

“The stories are not that interesting to be this long. Need to edit them to make them shorter.
When you read the descriptions they do lure you in but when you listen they are a let down. They drag on for too long. Wish they could be edited better to cut out the fluff. Also I don’t get the...”Read full review »

“Ben and Suzy have created a safe space for people to unburden themselves of their secrets. Many of the stories told here are human to the core and explore the trials and tribulations of what it means to live in this cruel, crazy beautiful world. Ben is not only a great storyteller but he is also...”Read full review »

“This used to be the absolute best podcast. Ben is extremely talented and all around lovable person. But the show has sadly taken a nose dive. The stories have become long, drawn-out, mundane stories. The most recent one was about a woman who was in a “situationship” and then they broke up....”Read full review »

“This awful girl (not a real woman). Laughing and thinking she is so cool and her children not being cared for is disgusting. I wonder how funny she thinks she is when they let her know what a terrible mother she was! Awful episode!!!’”

This most recent season is just full of lame interviews about broken relationships and...”Read full review »

“It is horrifying that kids like Skyler and 1000’s more had such an awful time at home and later in the care of others sometimes worse, when these children need more love and care and help than most other children. It is absolutely heartbreaking.
Thank you for this story and Ben, what a wonderful...”Read full review »

“The first episodes were really interesting but lately, not so much. The episode with Jo was painfully and unnecessarily long. Not to mention, Jo was difficult to listen to. The secret was very underwhelming. Perhaps the host can search for individuals with more shocking/interesting secrets.”

“At first episodes were a good listen. After initial binge giving a chick getting played and venting is no good. And giving “benevolent” drug dealers and users also no good. These losers are losers and maybe so is Ben. No stars Ben. Pick better secrets.”

“I love Ben’s open, genuine interview style. Some of the guests are real storytellers.

If I’m not feeling a guest, I try to stick with it as...”Read full review »

“Some of the stories are wild, some are touching, and many are reflective of the relatable things in life that we keep secret because we think we’re alone - but we aren’t.
But has a great voice and plenty of compassion for his guests, giving them a safe place to cleanse their souls.”
