I was hooked with the Joshua tree episode then maybe one maximum 2 were decent after that; honestly nothing worth a listen since ; sorry I’m out . This podcast went dry a while ago 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Sooooo Sum Folks DonT Like iT Due To The Actual Encounter Victims Invoking The Name of Jesus for These Entities To Leave and iT WORKS ??? Well, if your a Luciferian DeviL Worshipper Then You Might Be The One Shapeshifting!

I have listened to The Confessional’s for years. Recently we had an X Space with Tony to discuss many of his guests and an understanding of what is going on with all the different aspects of the phenomena. It’s people and shows like this that will rewrite the false history we have been taught in school. Open your mind and give a listen.

You shook me to the core with this information. I needed that, thank you.

This Podcast used to be great.Last year I gave it a 5 star but now it’s down to a 1 because of all the Bible and ufo stuff Tony’s guests talk about.I read what the new episode is about and go on to some one else’s.3-30-24.

I have to say this is the best podcast point blank period! Never have I heard so many cool, inspiring, insightful, entertaining, enlightening and engaging stories from such a diverse audience. I started listening back in August 2023 and I’ve listened to every episode. It’s made me look back on my experiences with the paranormal and my faith in a new light. Tony, God bless you and your family.

I was led here by Isaac Weishaupt. Soul Trappers was such a great episode.

Honestly one of my favorite shows, been listening for awhile. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because of the frequency of religious convo. I tend to skip alot of episodes that would otherwise be great

Tony Markel is a coward of the first degree. If you have a criticism, Tony will eject you. Like a coward would do. What a snowflake. Tony, all your guns amount to nothing if you can’t handle a critical comment from a PAYING MEMBER.

The Confessionals has become my go to podcast. I can relate to so many of your guests stories. I live just down the road in Maryville and would love to share the experiences one day. I listen at work, when driving, and when biking! Keep the great guests coming! “Did you say Nephilim!?”

Show was very interesting when I first found it. I even paid to get the members episodes. Then I realized a lot of his guests would just use word salads in the stories. It became obvious a lot of them were just seeking attention. Then Tony started becoming a “Christian” which is fine with me, but when you use those made up names for God that are from people that aren’t God’s people I can’t listen to that anymore. It tells me you’re either deceived or a deceiver.

Loved the show and I do believe there’s a god but I want weird stories not a bible study

Tony is the Boss 😂 no one else gets phone calls or ur fired. * Instantly pocket calls everyone in studio * your all Fired !! 😂 thanks guys yall make the week easier I listen daily as a local truck driver myself. Danny, you and few others make the week so much better !! Thanks guys

Just wow, it’s a lot to digest. You wouldt think a podcast would make you feel closer to God, but it’s in the stories. I appreciate the people that come on to share their lives, also Tony and his tribe. #thetruthwillpissyouoff

Wow!!! Mind blowing episode. This episode connects a lot of dots.

629 was amazing! GOD IS GOOD!

This is by far one of the absolute best and most fascinating podcasts I’ve ever heard. I’m so glad I found this. God bless you Tony and listeners!

Episode 629, Killing Lacey was the craziest, most amazing testimony I’ve ever heard on a podcast. This pod continues to affirm and strengthen my faith and I am so thankful!

I love this show and how it confirms my faith. Anytime you wanna destroy the supernatural just let Jesus take the wheel. Thanks for the awesome shows!!

Tony is such a nice guy. You can hear and see his humble and kind nature. This show at times has scared me a little but the wealth of information here is priceless. I say it has scared me because some of the topics I know are real stories. Tony is super smart and he asks people really good questions too. I feel like he seems like he’s not listening but then he comes back with a question that really helps people work through their encounters. He’s just so kind that he lets people talk and then he clarifies once they’re done telling their story. It’s obvious he is passionate about what he’s doing, he’s passionate about learning new things, and he genuinely cares about people. I’m happy I found this show and I feel like it’s been part of my awakening. I have learned so much and my mind has been able to put together some of my own experiences. Just listen to it!

Love the content and how professional and clean the stories are

Having guests on, and just letting them tell stories, without any sort of checks, and balances is not entertainment

Thanks so much for your show! I love everything you do. Mark

I truly enjoyed the podcast and the open eyed perspective of the speakers and the host. But now it’s rated explicit and I’m blocked from listening. Wish you the best Pastor Angel Morales Jr. D.Min

Life changing faith building podcast for myself, and my children. Thank you.

This was my first listen and I loved the pod but what band is that playing at the end of the episode?! So good!

I love Tony, his show has made a difference in my life, and helped me get through the worst days of my life! With that said, I'm on the late train watching the docs! Thank u for giving us a look in the hills of Kentucky ! I was there w u guys!! Everytime I listen to an episode I try to picture everything. It was great, ty again and I recommend everyone watch and get to know the guys and the man behind the mic. Keep 'em coming Tony ! God bless you and your family always🙏🏼❤️

Tony lets people come and tell their story. I love the intro! I’m happy to see Tony and the show thriving.

If Joe Rogan and a Dogman with a sense of humor, had a baby, this is what their podcast would sound like. I love this show.

I love everything about this show. The stories, the production, the people. I haven't watched the documentaries. Saving it for a rainy day. This is really one of the only podcasts I can listen all the way through and then re-listen immediately after. I especially like the portal episodes and the episodes dealing with mental health issues. I've been in multiple situations in mental health where I was sure they were oppressed or possessed. Mostly in the intake process. Once they get meds they quiet down, but the oppression is definitely still there. They just lack the energy to express whatever it is. Only constructive criticism I can give is when you do reloaded shows, could you put the date it was originally recorded? Just so I know how long ago it was, and if I heard it recently. Love the quality on those and thanks for letting us hear some of those older member episodes.

Old shows were much better than the new. No need for the "Taylor Swift " style posse! Don't think I'll be listening any longer. Your better with just you and a guest , talking one on one. everybody deserves to grow and expand and change, but this isn't the direction.

Tony seems like a good guy and I don’t have a problem about him talking about his Christianity once in a while but I would say 80% or more of the show’s guests are hardcore Jesus people which usually comes out i their stories in the form of “and then I told the demon to leave me alone in the name of JESUS!!” and of course miraculously all the paranormal stuff ceases. I especially hate when that happens when the story’s good bc the credibility flies out the window and there’s a clear insinuation that if you’re not religious you are attracting evil energy. Multiple times they equate stuff like astrology, meditation, and yoga to playing with a Ouija board and attracting evil entities. Also, everything is demonic, according to the Confessionals, so you better repent and buy their doomsday supplies kit before the demons destroy the world. Yawn.

And went from being a good show talking about cool subjects to becoming a religious show. I dont mind if you do shows that have a religious aspect every once in awhile but recently that’s all he does. I’m tired of hearing about Nephilim from the Bible. Blah blah blah.

Love your show brotha!!!

I only recently discovered The Confessionals but I have, in a short time, listened to ALL of the episodes. From Bigfoot, to Nephilim, to UFOs, to Fallen Angels... this is such a wild ride!!! I just became a member on the Member's Only app and wow even more stuff that is mind reeling. Thank you, Tony!!!!

Before I get started, this is an AMAZING SHOW! I started listening over 5 years ago and I've watched something small grow into an absolute powerhouse since then!! In saying that, I have a hard time understanding the vitriol over a man feeding his family. The amount of "Hater" comments over a man providing for his family doing what he loves in unreal. And it's funny because the majority of comments are great but if course the "Haters" ALWAYS stand out. The fact that they have lives they are unhappy with so they come on here to down a man who is doing better then them is hilarious. OR... get mad over Tony having Christian guests on frequently to talk about Biblical creatures and/or Biblical matters. I forgot the part where Tony never said he wasn't a Christian... AGAIN... hilarious!!! I'll say this, TONY KEEP DOING YOU!!!! You have become wildly successful, and not because of THOSE people. You did it by BEING YOU!!! "The Truth Will Set You Free, But First..." - These critics clearly know how this ends!!!

This is an amazing show! Tony has for years brought a wealth of knowledge to the forefront of the cryptid/ufo/paranormal audience. I have to say, it has only gotten better! I LOVE the Biblical angles and the Nephilim talk the most, but I always have time for ALL of the information that is given. The way Tony has put on several other podcasters is probably the best thing I have seen, to the point he’s even had some guest host the show, Cryptids of the Corn being one great example!! He’s a true innovator and definitely building an empire with Merkel Media. I will always support this show and everything that comes along with it!!!

The show started to get worse when he quit his day job to become a full-time podcaster. You can see the desperation and the profit motive.

Just keeps getting worse

Tony has way of taking your hand and walking through his stories of mysteries and paranormal. Highly recommend this podcast. Thanks for reading.. DB

In the earlier seasons, I really enjoyed the interviews, the content and the open discussions. Now, the newer seasons are very preachy- not everyone is a Christian, not everyone believes in Jesus. Some of Tony’s friends/guests really rob me the wrong way with their insinuations that if you don’t “find god” you’re going to suffer in varying ways. Please, make this podcast a reflection of the material presented and offer a platform for discussion, not religion.

I’ve been listening since 2017 and he had the best paranormal interviews. Sometimes religion would come up and it didn’t bother me but now it’s brought up ALL the time. There’s also so much conspiracy crap. I mean there was always a little that but now it’s just full blown. I also paid in 2021 to go to Pennsylvania to do the ghost tour thing. My husband ended up getting appendicitis right before I was supposed to go and they wouldn’t give me a refund. Despite that I think I was just in denial because it’s been my favorite podcast for years, but it’s just gone downhill.

Started out cool. But now it’s just stupid and the guests are all just making up stupid stories and it’s very obvious.

Food poisoning equates to molesting kids? Ummmm not a good look. I’m a fan of the podcast and I don’t hold tony on this but dude should’ve left that one alone

I have been listening to podcasts for years and would always struggle to find one that would keep me interested. The Confessionals is the only one that has not only become a regular listen of mine, but I couldn’t get enough and had to become a member for more episodes! The topics are so interesting, all the amazing guests and the courage they show sharing their experiences…amazing work Confessionals crew!

I absolutely love love love your show! It’s crazy I did a fast in September and ever since then so much has been revealed to me about THE TRUTH! My eyes are wide open and everything is so clear to me now. But it was always there. I just didn’t see it. Thank you so much for all the guests you bring on, for being brave enough to have this platform. Don’t stop don’t stop don’t ever stop!!

What an interesting podcast. I like to listen to interesting discussions without an “angle” or verbal manipulation.

Tony the episode you just dropped with James was too good! Please bring him back on

Man tony always has the best questions out of a lot of interviewers. He won’t just ask the basic questions but he’ll go deeper and ask stuff that I wouldn’t even think of, he’s a Great show host and an incredible dude. I love how he always gets guests in to tell their story rather than someone else reading the encounters. I recommend this show to anyone who is a critical thinker!

Gatlinburg is the Myrtle Beach of the Smokey Mountains. Imagine living on a beach in Tahiti and hearing someone who lives in Myrtle Beach talk about how it’s the best beach in the world.
