Customer Reviews
Wonderful Podcast!!! (FIST-BUMP)
I'm very glad to have found this podcast and truly enjoy listening to it.
The stories are emotionally evoking, thought provoking, and intertwined with deep human sentiment.
Hearing the stories takes you on an anthropological ethnographic trip and adventure to the past, allowing us to immerse our imaginations into the cultural past, while experiencing other lives so poignantly in the present.
You've now got a fan from Las Vegas, who's eagerly looking forward to hearing more podcast episodes... Keep 'em coming!!!
Great range of stories... great production.
I just discovered this podcast last week and have already burned through the archive. If you dig This American Life, RadioLab, and The Moth, you'll love Unfictional. Can't wait for the next episode...
Really Compelling Storytelling
I was getting home from work kind of late on a Friday after having been stuck in traffic for a long time, but I ended up sitting in my car in the garage with the radio on, and then running up to my room to flip on the radio to keep listening to "The Accidental Parent." As I type, I'm listening to a great story from Unfictional live on KCRW about a college heavy metal radio station whose biggest audience was the local prison. Really interesting, odd, compelling, beautiful human interest stories. Definitely check it out.
