So lovely :)

Really joyous podcast with beautiful storys, but please please please get rid of the "Next Time" crap at the end, takes all of the fun out of the wait and ruins the current episode

Good

I used to enjoy it a lot more but many of the stories nowadays are religious which doesn't interest me as much as the old ones used to but still a good podcast to fall asleep to.

Wonderful podcast

I found this charming little podcast last week, and I have to say I'm hooked. In moments where I'm usually distracted I find myself stopping, unable to draw myself away from the stories.

True Story is a really enjoyable, truthful, creative podcast. It makes me wish I had the gift of story telling as it feels like something that it truly engrained in us, in our history. Even just listening to this, it makes me feel a part of something, and thankful for those moments in life that stay with us. True Story is a brilliant podcast, well worth your time.
