Anja Notanja (j sound not y)This show is my favoriteI listen to 14 podcasts a day at my warehouse job. Of the hundreds of podcasts I have tried this one is my favorite. WHEN THE FRUCK IS IT COMING BACK?! Thank yew
-
Ash8787421780Well done but not for mePodcast seems to be very well produced but I just can’t get into this one.
-
bby.ttttAMAZING!!!this podcast is my favorite it has a variety of things to engage in and to learn about new cultures and current events
-
lotustexasOops—hope this helpsI inadvertently swiped the ratings section and in the process submitted a 4-star review, clumsily thought maybe I could remove it and just wound up submitting a couple of lower ones because each time I removed a star, it automatically resubmitted. My apologies. It’s been awhile since I listened to this podcast, but I very much enjoyed it awhile back and look forward to resuming. The 5 stars are an attempt to right the situation a bit!
-
St Paul SusanOne of top 3 podcasts. Will there be new episodes?Along with This American Life and Snap Judgement, Unfictional is in my top 3 podcasts. However, they seem to have stopped producing back in March 2018; ran a repeat for Halloween and it's been radio silence ever since. When will they produce new content? Or is Unfictional now defunct?
-
dumdloMeant to click the 5 starNew at this. Unfic has become my new go to. Thanks
-
Hanaruckus'sdogmomThe perfect story podcastThank you guys for introducing me to Joe Frank and a whole new genre of radio! I love this podcast!
-
DarthdombekExceptionalI enjoy every single one of these podcasts "The Outsiders" is the one I share the most. ...just listened to "Her name is Ember" this morning, and my heart is so full that it's taking over my breath.
-
Nkay666The BEST storytelling podcast!I stumbled upon this podcast and I really love it! Most stories are relatively short and very interesting without all the sex and salacious filth of many other storytelling podcasts. Check it out, it’s worth it!
-
MoriveratGreat podcast but...Really enjoyed this podcast, but on several episodes the last few minutes cut off on playback. After being frustrated by this several times, I had to delete the show from my paylist.
-
Chip0928AwesomeI just love unfictional it's great to listen to!
-
R. Antonio FelixPodcast for people that like podcastsThis is a podcast for people that like podcasts. If that sounds like high praise, it actually isn't. I literally mean if you like listening to podcasts, then this will fill that itch when you're all caught up on your regular shows. The Big Sur episode is a good example. The story was not compelling. It was not a meditation on anything, even though it could have been. But it was well produced. It wasn't a waste of my time, but I will not be telling anyone that that it is required listening.
-
Paddy's ShlubCan't Stop ListeningDownloaded a handful of episodes and am burning through them fast!
-

-
Caitlin2ElectricBoogalooI LOVE THIS PODCASTI might be biased because my filmstrip story was featured on "Running Away," but I gotta say, this is the most amazing podcast!!! Bob, Carla and Nick do top-notch work and it's like a magnet for incredible stories. "Unfictional" is the standard for high-quality, compelling radio.
-
clint wolfTerrificGreat, very interesting podcast.

Auntie1818Beautiful narrativesLove the content & presentation!
-
LeenstaWell done-Love this show!This is one of my favorite podcasts, I've been listening Unfictional as long as it's been available. It's well-produced storytelling that keeps me tuning. I highly recommend it. Host Bob Carlson produces riveting radio, have a listen.
-
Biscuits4EverOne of my all time favoritesTruth is always stranger than fiction. Journey through amazing true stories that will hook you and keep you coming back for more. 😄
-
DrBillfromtheDKCRW's UnfictionalWonderful stories, excellent production
-
MyezeckyEntrancingI have long been drawn to the work of Joe Frank and love that so much of it is featured in this podcast. But beyond that are mysterious, evocative nonfiction stories that set a similar mood. This quietly serious, addictive show is perfect for listening during creative pursuits.
-
mack1952GREAT!!I have to give Ira Glass from "This American Life" the credit for mentioning this in his latest podcast otherwise, I wouldn't have even known it existed! EXCELLENT broadcast and a wonderful podcast to listen to while I'm driving amidst city and highway traffic! Thank you Ira Glass!
-
FormerlyRobertIndispensable showSo glad UnFictional exists. Thanks for this great work.
-
dharma_denGreat showVery cool, imaginative
-
PathenaGreat Stories and the occasional Joe Frank. :)I found Unfictional while searching for podcasts featuring Joe Frank. Back in the late 80s, as a college student, I spent Friday nigahts sitting in front of the radio listening to KCRW. Joe Frank's voice entranced me. I also listened to their music programs. Unfictional are like short stories that happen to be true - sometimes, one story will take up a whole segement, someetimes there will be several stories, and they are fascinating slices of real life.
-
ibn fuzzaydOriginal and interestingThis is my favorite podcast. Whether it's a series of stories or a longer one, the podcast always leaves an impact. Often funny, poignant, and informative.
-
Petra46JOE FRANK: THIEF Segment - OMG!A piece of Art! Just Love it!!!! - It s so good I will listen to this one again. It's like an amazing movie! One of your best shows Ever! - Thanks! Petra
