which one is the first episode of this podcast?
ugh never crossed his mind to eat healthy until surgery, but it's not his fault ok..
I skipped through because this was incredibly boring, but this didn't seem to have any point and there was no story. I do not enjoy these "conversations" about nothing.
TEN MINUTES OF NOTHING
13 minutes!! we come for the stories!
i hate these conversation stories, who wants to hear a random voice just going Yeah Hmm Yeah Mhm
would be nice if Kevin was edited out
uhhuh mmmmmm mmmhmmm hahaha uhhuh mmm mmhmmmmm -Kevin 😤
Is this stand-up comedy?
RISK! is a phenomenal podcast that consistently delivers riveting and authentic storytelling. The way the host and guests share their personal, often raw experiences with such honesty and humor is truly inspiring. https://www.spreaker.com/episode/tips-and-tricks-for-designing-eye-catching-stickers--60803190
Thank you to Ellie Jackson for having the courage to share your story.
"SHARDAY" ☹️😓
this was beautiful! best show yet!😭🥰
I grew up near Oakman, AL !!
haven't listened yet, but reading through the comments, you'd think the fact that a LOT of them complain about the intro and a lot more simply have helpful time markers to skip it might be a bit of a hint to the host, but apparently not I guess. something to do with comedians, love, and sound of their own voices, maybe?
the story about Mrs. Blanco is one of my favorite Risk! stories of all.
From hilarious personal anecdotes to heart wrenching dealings with trauma to cathartic experiences, these personal human stories are the most raw and honest anywhere. The Risk team showcases these stories with great respect and appreciation, the entire podcast is a class act.
I love Melanie Hamlett so much! I had to start following her on social media and she never disappoints. can hear her stories and perspective all day
skip 10 min
white people are F***** stupid quote from the show. Good stuff.
