Customer Reviews
Enthralling
Sean has an incredible way of relating to people and giving them the opportunity to open up, tell their story, be real without judgement. While he always fact checks and will challenge people if needed, Sean has a knack for any challenge to come off as genuine curiosity AND (key point for any interviewer) always asks the questions you have lined up in your head!!
Stoney tells his story with the grace of a son who knows his father did things considered unforgivable, all the while still loving who he was. At a very young age, he understood his father was a human and not a fairytale superhero, unlike most kids. As a result, this allows him to tell a well rounded version of events. Yes, he’s biased, but he comes off as more proud of and concerned about his family’s honesty than anything else.
Their dynamic together is captivating. The street smart, Southern frank, verbose Stoney paired with Sean’s journalist storytelling, nonjudgmental, and calm demeanor makes for one of the best podcasting duos out there.
MUST LISTEN!!
I live in Walton County and visit Winder often. This was the BEST PODCAST I have ever heard. I listen daily to podcasts but this was an amazing story! I cannot wait to go visit the Rock Solid Distillery soon. I finished this entire podcast in less than 2 days. It’s like a great book that you cannot put down!
This needs to be a movie
I finished this in 4 days. It had me hooked from the beginning.
