Snap Judgement Rocks!
Where to start. The content is relevant, moving, inspiring, thought provoking, funny...it runs the gamut of emotions and that is only part of the reason I like it. The variety of stories is so delightful. I mostly listen in the car as I drive a lot but sometimes I tune in at home too.
The way the stories are presented with sound, grouping and narration makes them even more engaging. Glynn Washington is a superb host! I tell everyone I know about Snap Judgement. So glad I found you and won't be with out you. A Forever Fan, Denise

Engrossing stories
These are not the journalistic tales that you hear on "This American Life" -- although TAL occasionally picks up these stories. These are not the time-limited tales that you hear on "The Moth" although they occasionally share story tellers. These are the tales that your cousins tell you when you are ten years old and gullible. These are the stories that your good buddy tells you to explain why he's going to stay home with his wife tonight. These are the stories behind your favorite writers and artists. Sometimes the stories are lies. Often they are truer than the news. Listen up and enjoy.

Captivating
We caught part of an episode on the way home from the fireworks this past 4th of July. It was the "Campfire Tales" episode. I had to turn it off so the kids (4 and 6) wouldn't get scared, but I came home and looked up the podcast so I could listen to the rest of it. I was hooked. The sound effects, the multiple story-tellers, a common theme - I love it. I wonder why I hadn't heard about the show before. I rely on the podcast to keep up with new episodes. Keep up the good work, SJ Team!

Caution This Podcast May Cause Physical Dependency
Snap Judgement is one of, if not the best story telling podcast out there. There are usually about 3 or 4 stories per episode all told by different story tellers, with hosting in between by Glynn Washington. The stories selected for each episode are usually related by some underlying thematic or topical lynchpin; but other than that, very little, if any restrictions are given to the storytellers. This gives the entire podcast a very conversational feel, almost as if your best friend was telling you an interesting story. Washington does an excellent job as the host and has a great personality and usually offers a brief anecdote or two from his own life about whatever topic or theme the episode is about. Snap adds background music to the stories to help accentuate the tone of the storyteller. They do this in a very effective way, without ever distracting from the story itself. I have heard every episode, and it was this podcast that originally sparked my interest in podcasts in general. Couldn't recommend more.
