“I inadvertently swiped the ratings section and in the process submitted a 4-star review, clumsily thought maybe I could remove it and just wound up submitting a couple of lower ones because each time I removed a star, it automatically resubmitted. My apologies. It’s been awhile since I listened...”Read full review »

“Along with This American Life and Snap Judgement, Unfictional is in my top 3 podcasts. However, they seem to have stopped producing back in March 2018; ran a repeat for Halloween and it's been radio silence ever since. When will they produce new content? Or is Unfictional now defunct?”Read full review »

“I stumbled upon this podcast and I really love it! Most stories are relatively short and very interesting without all the sex and salacious filth of many other storytelling podcasts.

“This is a podcast for people that like podcasts. If that sounds like high praise, it actually isn't. I literally mean if you like listening to podcasts, then this will fill that itch when you're all caught up on your regular shows. The Big Sur episode is a good example. The story was not...”Read full review »

“I might be biased because my filmstrip story was featured on "Running Away," but I gotta say, this is the most amazing podcast!!! Bob, Carla and Nick do top-notch work and it's like a magnet for incredible stories. "Unfictional" is the standard for high-quality, compelling radio.”Read full review »
