J4CE17I Love Red For RevolutionI don’t normally listen to podcast but this one got me hooked. The multigenerational storytelling was so interesting and added a fun touch to it. The jazz soundtrack was so beautiful to listen to. I’m not ready for this it to end so soon lol.

ericaohericaSo goodI love the layered story and these great characters. The story winds so well between a young woman’s curiosity and fears , desires and the bold secret her grandma lived.

HappyHealthyPeacefulIntriguingStarting off as such an intriguing story. I love the sounds in the background like lighting a cigarette, a teaspoon clinking in a beautiful flower laced tea cup, a screen door opening, a rocking chair creaking on a hollow wooden floor, (so I imagine). It took me back to a place in my own childhood. The voices fit the characters so well. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds. I will continue to tune in 🫶🏽👏🏽😍

AhronaR4R AT THE ZEITGEISTRED FOR REVOLUTION is a very special podcast series spreading love, light, depth, and wisdom as media medicine to meet the harrowing wild of this era. Brilliantly dynamic sound design woven with music and intimate, honest storytelling, I sense the center of this masterpiece seeding a revolution to honor and revere the sheer force of feminine black power.

Dioecious05Producer tells subjects she’ll make series about them, uses their stories to make it about herselfIn episode 4, Jess tells her three sources that episodes 2 and 3 are about them. This is not, in fact, true. None of this series is about them. Their stories are simply fodder to tell Jess’s own story. The fact that she isn’t transparent about this with the three of them or even with herself ultimately leads to her unwitting exploitation of three vulnerable individuals, and an experience that leaves the listener shocked at her utter lack of self-awareness.

Blackberries12Def not shocking or transformativeI listened bc I wanted to like it but the more I listened, the more I became annoyed with the narration and banal insights. The stories shared were not very interesting and neither were the insights shared.
-
TexasPodLoverThis one really made me thinkThis is a very well made podcast that addresses ethics in documentaries and ultimately asks the listener, “what makes you keep listening to someone’s story?” I will be thinking about these questions for a long time.
-
Theminx_2008Shocking in the wrong way.Exploitative, wrong-intentioned, collection of stories that should have been sensitive, but were solely for the vanity of the host. A disgrace.
-
Y.t.09870987Self absorbed production Season 13How dare you choose very vulnerable people so you can win some award or get your MAF, you guys keep thinking you are the enlightened but you have is a white/educated saviour complex . You should have chose subjects that could handle all you expectations of podcast development / editing , you just your point about ethics of documentaries, super unethical to use vulnerable humans on your quest for the “I could win an award mentality “

berliner1000shocking, heartbreaking...Very good podcast. Extremely honest, original idea, thought-provoking. I hope you make many more podcasts like this. Thank you!

salviaivlasSnow globe shaking at its finestShocking, Heartbreaking, Transformative is the most interactive podcast I have ever “experienced”. Finished the series with an unease worthy of deep consideration. I feel as if I too, as a wide consumer of the format, turned into a main character. The consumption of others “true stories” is perhaps not as passive as I once thought. Many rabbit holes of reflection for the offering. So.. not the easiest listen, but worth every moment. Fascinating, brilliantly done. So tightly ambiguous it could spin on a dime. Congratulations to all those that contributed!!! This is something to be proud of.

Reluctant_apperShocking, Heartbreaking, etcThis review is for Shocking, Heartbreaking, Transformative. It’s a must-listen for anyone who has ever told a story about someone else. I deeply appreciated the experiment that Jess designed to test the boundaries of documentary storytelling, and reveal all the fuzziness that exists within the assumption of journalistic ethics. It’s a much-needed view behind the curtain - a criticism of the industry that shows its devotion to the documentary at the same time. It examines many of the questions that I’ve asked as a creator and a listener, and asks us all to be more thoughtful about the stories we hear and the decisions that are made. BRAVO

mspassell46757 stars!!!Congrats to the Bot Love team for pulling this off...Bot Love is well done and a fascinating project to listen in on.

Tetra24069This show is annoyingThis podcast is just another liberal “But WhITe PeOple” I couldn’t even get through the first episode without cringing so hard. This show is just horrible. Why are we as a society so accepting of this pandering trash.
-
TreetimehumboldtBot love where Is the context?Titillating series that is one sided. No context is given for the participants. Except that they are all true believers, that were burned in “human” interactions. And they end up getting “ burned@ in their AI interactions as well. The elephant is not addressed and is likely beyond the scope of this podcast or may likely be too much to deal with. The sad truth is that we are so disconnected from each other that this is acceptable. Unbelievably sad. Humans have mostly been warlike instead of cooperative. Unlike animal and insect communities so maybe this is the most adaptive mechanism for Homo sapiens ? Pretty sad, but completely logical.
-
Mad mad mad mad JaxAddictive!I listened to every available episode of Bot Love in one day. Fascinating topic, excellent reporting, compelling story telling, and high production values. I hope to hear more from these makers.
-
Lordmaul1Fascinating Stories about the evolution of relationshipsA really fascinating, modern topic I think everyone will be thinking about more in the near future. The podcast has interesting stories and incredible sound design bringing these artificial voices to life. It might change your mind about human robot relationships.
-
lynniescribblesClass by itselfWithout a doubt this podcast is of the best I’ve listened to. There is no other podcast that can compete with such raw and humbling emotions packaged in this podcast. Jason Reynolds had my curiosity as as reader of his work but his mother is what kept my attention.

haplistnerThank youThank you for sharing and creating this podcast. Now your mom has taught me something that will be with me forever.
-
AllisivySweet and profound love storyThis podcast is really like a painting with words - like an impressionist painting- it evokes the nature of its subjects with a few brush strokes- revealing in small images the lives it explores. Revealing more profound truths about life. In such a short sequence I’m amazed at the sense I have of the interconnectedness of your family through the generations. I’m just so sorry this is just a “short”! What a great love story.

GG LBCGG GaborePitch perfect prose!

KiangajI enjoyed this so much!This was like a walk down memory lane. The wisdom of Jason’s mother reminded me so much of my own mother. I grew up in Maryland during 60’s and 70’s and I found so much was relatable. This was such a joy to listen too. Keep going Jason keep going!

little'fillyA Hit Dog Will HollerHit Dog Will Holler is astoundingly good, from writing to acting to production. Tense, exciting, and so full of realness and dread. I binged it in one day bc I couldn’t put down my headphones, I had to know what was next. Thank you Snap Judgement for introducing me!

A College Football FanA story of self-love & hopeOnce you start listening to this podcast, you will not want to stop. Seriously! Not only is Afia hilariously funny, but her mom, family & everyone she encounters. I hope a Part 2 is in the works. Her journey as a Ghanaian-American finding her roots & discovering her sexuality is heartfelt, touching, and universal. This is why we need more diverse storytelling from a talented podcaster. Well-done!
-
LaurieOpalS***hole countryThis show is gorgeous! Funny, loving, personal, beings you right into her experience. The sound and production - and Afia’s voice! - are gorgeous. And I’m learning so much too. Best podcast I’ve come across in a long time. Brava!

Rater person thingyAmazingggI loved this. Great amazing job

Karla-GilbrideGripping storytellingI’ve listened to many podcasts over many years and this is the first time I’ve ever been moved to leave a review. The soundscapes created in each episode, the use of actual dialog to bring the setting and the main characters to life, and the way the self-hating monologues were spliced into the middle of the narrative are some of the most creative, effective uses of the medium that I’ve ever heard. I’m going to be recommending this brilliant piece of work far and wide. Thank you!!!
-
Fiya33Beautiful storytellingThis podcast almost felt like an audio book because the host was very descriptive and sucked in the listener. I binged listened because I was eager to know what happens next

Dunning-KrugerNot a bad countryOnly about 13% commit over half of the crime. Wonder which group that is hmmmm?

ShutterBoothChicagoExcellent!Loved listening to Matthew! Highly recommend his podcast. It was funny, touching, and made me think about many things from a fresh perspective. Matthew will go far - what a talented guy. I hope we get to hear more from him.
-
Desert ParrotheadStop and ThinkI love this podcast! I have shared it with my children, and it has sparked many great conversations about diversity, compassion, and gratitude. The Brick by Brick episode was especially poignant as we are a LEGO-loving family. I loved the insight about how building things gave perspective as to the shape and appearance of objects that might otherwise be hard to “imagine”. I am so glad that there is a growing ability for sight-impaired kids (and adults) to enjoy building LEGO sets!
