The stories are riveting, entertaining, enlightening. Love them all.
I found the show in prison and it gave me the much needed break from the monotony of life inside i am free now and can’t wait to continue listening thank you
Such an amazing show! I’ve been listening for many years. Thank you so much for all the work you do. I will always be a fan :) RISK! Will never die.
They might be great stories, but I'm sorry, I didn't get to hear any. On my first listen I tired very quickly of Kevin and his promotions.
I really want to love this podcast but there’s entirely too much fluff around the stories. Commercials are already a pause from the story but then add in the music intro random extra music etc. I don’t mind the host speaking but wow.
