Fascinating Stories Without Commentary or Agenda
What I love about this podcast is that it is true and mostly interesting stories without commentary or agenda attached. A true breath of fresh air. The stories are not tied into anything else and no one is trying to make you feel or believe anything in particular. It's just interesting stories about other people and their adventures, misadventures and lives. I wish the podcast makers would cool it with the production and overdubbing of music while the speaker is speaking. Some music is OK but we don't need to hear it all the time that someone is speaking, I find it annoying sometimes. It's a minor complaint but otherwise fascinating podcast and I look forward to every new episode.

Noble & necessary, but not smart
This is an inspiring story about a man followng where his moral compass leads, whatver the cost. As he says in the show, "There's a war of words out there. What matters is your behaviour." Breaking into military bases to pour blood on weapons & beat them with hammers. The blood of man & Christ. Hammering swords into ploughshares.
The force of moral conviction is inescapable. The story has the power to compel. Kelly hopes it will rouse the faithful.
But who can hear it? It seems to me that if Kelly and friends can challenge weapons, someone needs to challenge the stitched up mass media. The only tune they ever play, metaphorically speaking, is "The Sounds of Silence".
The media might be fracturing into many niches where many voices can find a home. But the mass media & dominant ideas of the ruling classes still dominate.

Simply the best podcast!
I love this podcast for so many reasons.
The host lets people talk about striking life events. This looks simple but... Most people out there, even those with amazing experiences, are not good story tellers. I don't know what type of prep the host provides to his guests or what audio editing he does but each story -short or long- is fascinating. I hope he keeps up the great work.

No fluff - all Truth
I love that this podcast is just ... like a therapy session for the story teller as well as myself. There aren't any quirky lines from the host, no gimmicky sound tracks (though I love those at times) and like nothing else that is happening in the world of Podcasts. I love them all. I especially love this one. *golf claps*

Kelly..you are amazing..we the people should be hiding our faces. We are just zombies, we therefore become ' world zombie leaders ' and treat our 'greatest' in the worst way possible. Destroying the universal psyche. God forgive us for we know not what we are doing.
