Can’t get enough!

Can’t get enough of those beats, those words, and that voice! Keep em coming, Mr. Washington. You are the best!

Love, but…

Love this show and Glynn is an incredible host. His storytelling is so quality, it’s like a bonus when you hear the listener stories afterwards. I consistently look forward to finding a new ep on a Friday morning so, thank you Snap Judgement.

Spooky stories the best, host stories the worst.

Most positive is the overall production. BIG SHOUTOUT to the crew and all the music and sound fx!! You guys crush it for easy and engaged listening. It’s great to hear produced stories that really building on the overall effect instead of just a one note kind of deal, there’s nothing like this out there tbh - the full production is really heard and makes the stories that much more effective. It makes for an easy listen and great for drives and traffic. It’s a 5 EXCEPT for the host and his off putting voices (and that is being VERY kind - they’re really offensive) and the constant reruns instead of new material. Some of Glynn’s stories make no sense, most seem made up — and he was always my least favorite part of Snap Judgement too. He could learn a thing from ITAH host who introduces the podcast and gives warning and then let’s the person tell their own story instead of pontificating about events that only happen in imagination (looking at you, Glynn!). And please stop having your friends defend you on here, mate, it’s weird and just pathetic. It’s clear most listeners aren’t a fan, maybe listen to them instead of being defensive. Honestly his stories seem fake and his fake voices are mildly insulting to southerners. Just skip over Glynn and enjoy the show!
