Leave a Review Apple Podcasts
A brilliantly written gem
This was just a Lucky discovery, A bit of algorithmic good fortune. It came recommended to me but nine times out of ten apple recommendations are not in keeping with preferences. I like history podcasts-and there are so many to choose from, but inevitably I found that they are poorly researched, not up on the current consensus and debates on the scholarly side of things, or just poorly written. This podcast falls pray to none of those issues. The topics are broadly considered (from many different sources), they are as current as a popular history narrative can get, and the writing is breathtaking. it’s the last part that I find the most impressive. The prose are eloquent, even poetic, and I found myself quickly immersed in the evocative imagery presented by the very pleasant voice of the author. The first episode I listened to had ended and I was certain it had only been 20 minutes long; it was over an hour. It’s rare that I get transported so effectively. I’d saddened that I did not discover it until so recently, but at least I’ve got a backlog of episodes. I will call this subscriber worthy. In an environment of completely free content we all know who the true Radiohead fans are.Show lessMnemocide
By far the best show for sociopolitical issues!
If you are left leaning/progressive in your ideology and worldview, then you will not find a better podcast to provide you with context to understand and analyze major sociopolitical issues. I never keep up with the news cycle, and most news outlets individually are often devoid of contextual details that are fundamental to allow for an honest and informed discussion of the topic. The host and crew of Best of the Left meticulously and masterfully curate background information and relevant perspectives to allow for a deep dive, rather than a shallow regurgitation of political rhetoric that is often parroted by the mainstream media. I do listen to it on 1.5x speed, but absolutely love it and a staple as long as I don’t feel too burned out and disillusioned with the state of the world…the host Jay! even helps with my disillusionment at times for which I am very grateful!Show lessAmit from Joplin
Disappointing
I must say, I am thoroughly disappointed. I subscribed to Peacock for one month to watch the Olympics and Super Bowl and figured, since I already paid for it, I would check out some WWE programming in its entirety. Until now, I had relied on this podcast and highlights to remain a casual follower of wrestling. Given Wilbourn’s enthusiastic rundown of the matches, the Dadley Boyz balanced, if not quite cynical commentary, along with Andy and Phil’s more optimistic analysis, I assumed I would find some joy in watching what is weekly reported to be a slightly interesting train wreck. And hence my disappointment. The WWE will never be as entertaining as this podcast, so skip the tv time and enjoy the melodious voices of the crew manning the best podcast in the business.
For my 5 Star Review Review, (apologies if this has been done) on the heels of the breakup of Nicki ASH and Rhea, could you review when Rosey of 3-minute warning was repackaged as a superhero with the Hurricane? Cheers!Show lessIamnotmicah
Bible in a year review
I just want to say how amazing the Bible in a year podcast and study with father Mike is. I have read my Catholic daily Bible the new living translation for the past five years and this is the first year that I am joining the Bible in a year with father Mike. And reading my Catholic daily Bible for the past five years I had to do my own research and sometimes it became so overwhelming because I didn’t understand something and even after researching I still didn’t understand but with father Mike he explains it and breaks it down. And if something isn’t meant to be understood he clearly says it. We just have to continue to have faith and trust in what God has laid out for us. Another important thing is to have a Catholic priest which is so important for us Catholics because I was finding myself during my research turning to protestant Bibles and protestant apps and trying to find answers. So this podcast and the study is so amazing I cannot recommend it enough my entire family is doing it.Show lesscradlle_catholic1965
App is broken since iOS 15 update
This app worked great before iOS 15 update, but now is the most annoyingly frustrating piece of garbage. I constantly have to double check that podcasts are downloaded because they will randomly stop downloading. After creating a playlist of the days podcasts, if I stop listening for any length of time it will reset so that I don’t have anything coming up next…until I add something new to the playlist, at which point everything comes back including things I’ve already listened to trying to replay. I also have to make sure that the app doesn’t register the 10 seconds I listened to of a podcast as listening to the podcast fully, putting it on the listened/ready to delete list before I’ve actually listened to the podcast. Hope apple fixes this buggy app, since they broke it in the first place!
Edit: new bug as of Feb 2022. I keep finding that episodes of podcasts I have downloaded are no longer downloaded. They were downloaded, they aren’t played, and they are still in my most recent list but suddenly poof! They are gone!Show lessAuronblade2004
Functionality is terrible
The reviews for this app are so skewed because people are reviewing it based on the podcast content and not the actual app.
I have been drinking the apple kool aid for about 10 years now and I can assure you this app needs a lot of work. Everything looks sleek and seems easy to use. But, the functionality is terrible. If you’re listening to an episode from 5 years ago, it will not automatically go to the next episode. Instead, you have to go back into the podcast channel, scroll all the way past the previous 300 episodes just to get to the episode that is numerically next. It’s also terrible at tracking which one’s you’ve listened to and where you stop if you do have to stop in the middle. You also can’t sort the episodes in any certain order. It’s only numerical order starting from the most recent. The only way this app makes sense is if you start a new podcast as soon as the first episode is released on a new channel.
Tons of potential but tons of easy fixes.Show lessCollin Barker
Don’t really listen to podcasts but I’m devouring this one!
I am SO thankful for this podcast! I’m not really a podcast consumer (can’t get into it and listen to a lot of audiobooks and music instead). But this podcast!!! I’ve subscribed and listened to several just this weekend and shared with others, including my parents, one of my pastors, and our church communication platform! (The episode I shared was the interview with Rosaria Butterfield and Christopher Yuan- GOOD STUFF!)
I have a brother that has recently “come out” and it’s broken the hearts of me and my parents while my siblings have been allies with him- the Word of God and the church has been SO helpful. And the Lord shows the power of the gospel to save through lives changed- I’m thankful for the testimonies shared through Beckett and many peoples he hosts! Praise the Lord for this work He has done and your obedience to share! Because we all were dead only being made alive by the finished and saving blood of Christ, and these testimonies add to our thanksgiving to the Lord!Show lesszurgurl
Might be the best thing ever
Stellar talk across literally every thing imaginable. I get my Alan Watts, I get my Marital advice. I can study any topic which interests me. We could use a little more Pythagoras. But as soon as a I type that someone has probably put one out in the cyber realm. Of course my music desires are jealous and teenagers are bored with all these old people topics. Hey when I was a kid you would have to have a cassette tape and recorder and be physically present to start the recording at a specific time in order to back up and be able to hear something repeated. 7 thumbs way up. The ambience is out of this world knowledgeable speakers. I could go in forever. Love this. With all that being said I would like to make a request of the developers.
When I find a new podcast to listen to and I go back and start it on episode 1 it will play and then at the end of the podcast it stops and i am Bombarded with pervasive and persistent silence. However if I I find a new podcast and just start on their most current episode and it reaches the end it automatically pleases my ears by playing the episode prior to that one and could continue playing episode after glorious episode until we reach the very first one.
Hopefully we could find that in a future update. And my words are more effective than “Yo podcasts are the bomb. But we should be able to play the podcasts from the oldest to the newest. Fix this nerds.
But still 7 Thumbs way up!!!

Best Real Estate Gurus For Working Professionals
I found Leti and Kenji’s podcast when I got Covid infection from the hospital 2 days before the first vaccine came out. Needless to say, I was devastated as I had to stay off from work as a nurse and be away from my family. I was sick for a while, thought I’d make the most of it by learning more about real estate. I found their podcast, and their interviews and topics resonated with my growing desire to invest in real estate. They too worked at the hospital, but had the financial freedom to work on their own terms. Fast forward, I took their course, which more than paid for itself. I now have 5 properties, building 3 more, and in contract with another property. Their podcasts and classes gave me the tools and confidence to invest with as minimal risks possible. Leti and Kenji, as well as their team, and the community they built are so supportive and full of knowledge for all kinds of scenarios in most parts of the country. They are constantly reinventing themselves so I feel like I’m constantly getting new and updated content. I feel so blessed to have found them, they were the silver lining to my days of isolation. I wholeheartedly recommend their podcasts and real estate business courses they provide! Thank you Leti and Kenji!Show lessCharito0920
Love
I’m half way through the Vallow update and to be honest, most podcasts I try to listen to, I’ve already turned it off by this point! Why you may ask? I’m not interested in listening to 20-25 minutes of the hosts talking about their lives. It’s fine that they do, but then they need to change the title of their podcasts for Pete’s sake (trying to keep it PG here). These girls get right into it. I’m a Paralegal and understand all the logistics but it’s so nice they explain what things mean to the listeners and they do it in a short amount of time. The detail is great. I’ve followed this case from the beginning and am hearing things here I had no idea about! Thank you! I have finally found a podcast that shares my level of legal inquisitiveness into this case! One that doesn’t test my patience level! The only other podcast I listen to right now is Nancy Grace and I’ve listened to her since the Casey Anthony ‘era.’ I gotta hear my “ BOMBSHELL TONIGHT” cracks me up. Even she goes on and on and on about her kids and hey, it’s okay to throw a blurb or two in, it’s going to happen, but I don’t need to hear a diatribe on every single show about them that takes up 10 minutes of the shows time! Lol I fast forward. Anyhow, thanks girls! You had me at hello!!Show lessConnie-Paralegal Cint., OH
