    “New Episode”
    This podcast is wonderful, which is why I’m giving 5 stars. But re-releasing an episode of Spooked as a new episode here? That’s pretty lame. It basically says you have no confidence in the integrity of your listeners. Love y’all

    Story telling at its best
    I love this show! Story telling at its best, equal to This American Life and Ted radio. Superb editing of narration and soundtrack. I look forward to new episodes each week.

    Bonkers - Sheep Guy
    What a sad story. This man has zero self awareness and inability to understand his own worth. I hope he did learn something from this and is getting therapy.

    Never a dull moment
    I can always count on this podcast to make me laugh, think and learn. Every second is precious. Thank you. Please keep ‘em coming!

    One of favorite podcasts of all time
    Every episode is interesting. Topics are diverse. Sound engineering is brilliant. Creative spin on so many subjects. Glynn Washington has one of the best voices on radio!! SO MUCH appreciation for this show! 😊

    Great Stories
    Somehow I’d lost my link to Snap Judgement- I thought they quit producing. So glad to find again and now have enough backlog to binge! Stories we need to hear and may not hear outside of Snap Judgement. Great work!

    Wayyy to many reruns these days
    If you are putting out reruns more often than new episodes then you have a problem. Consider hiring more staff maybe?

    Be there
    Snap is there. We feel it—what unites us—the human pulse.

    The Black Wind
    I so enjoy Snap’s podcasts. This one really captured my - sit down, don’t multi task, just listen - attention! It was two stories in one. Tornado chasing is a popular media draw for TV, and I get drawn in, no doubt. But this listen with only the sound-no videos-of terror; the attention given to the life altering effects of survivors.. and so on, really moved me. Well done team!

    Great show…but
    Love the show! Glen, bro, we need more of you. You remind me so much of my boys growing up. (Phoenix, AZ) OK, but… Rating: Clean <— incorrect. Not only is their foul language, there are so many episodes with allusions to sexual perversions and what not. Just sayin, clean has a whole new meaning in today’s society. Recycled episodes: I’ve listened for over 8 years and have been hearing many of the same episodes. I’m actually tired of that. Snap doesn’t lose points for that though. I can just not listen to those episodes. Y’all have done a marvelous job with your catalog, but I feel like the amount of recycle needs to stop. There has got to be more short stories that all of your producers are working on that won’t see the light of day. I’ll take those over a repeat. I need more happy episodes. Why? Because I want to be happy. I’m not intrested in what is happening in the world sometimes. You’re not the news, but you feel like it, just a little bit, sometimes. If that hurts, well that should help you grow. Lastly, and please read this in that voice Glen uses when he’s making fun of old white people, your best episode EVER is nowhere to be found. I never EVER hear that one but I’ve heard so many other ‘classics’! Where is my Cocaine drug run episode! The one where they had to purchase all kinds of equipment to hijack a plane or something. Yes, it’s been that long sense that one has been been ‘replayed’. HAS it been replayed?Answer: ABSOLUTELY not. That is THE Best of the best! 😂😂😂😂 Music? You were at 3 stars but the music brings you back up a full star. There is literally no podcast that beat these beats. How you’re boy keeps bringing the dopest sounds is amazing to me. Love you guys, even though it doesn’t feel like it, but this tough love might hit with just a few of you there.

    The GOAT
    The best podcast on air. Incredible sound design and production. Been a listener for years. It’s never missed.

    Made my Vega Road Trip
    I have not downloaded in a while, and found out my cousin also listens to Snap. This made for a a perfect drive. Loved the elephant story!
  • MW Hiker
    I love snap judgment for the most part but
    The Spooked stuff, the supernatural stuff is not for me. Ghost stories, young girls and boys haunting houses, ugh.
  • lidia___011
    Not the show it used to be..
    This used to be my all-time favorite podcast. The stories were so unique and original and diverse. The show seemed to have changed after 2020, now rather than topics being diverse, it’s just all about diversity.. week after week.. and that’s great and all, but that’s not what the podcast used to be. I miss the old episodes.
  • coldkooli
    Brilliant!
    Glynn Washington is something special -- he and Team Snap have created the most amazing sonic experience, EVER. I honestly don't know how they manage to produce so many original episodes every year of such quality. Gold Standard! Do yourself a favor and subscribe right away.
  • Xoxo it’s me !
    Trials of Lt McFadden
    So well done and moving

    Stories that blow my mine
    This show, and the stories told, never fail to amaze me, and to open my mind and heart. I love the personal narratives and anecdotes Glynn tells and the depth, vulnerability and humor explored. This show makes me a better person!!
  • Jasonande
    Thanks
    I appreciate you keeping the host of the show for as long as you have because sometimes I’m just hanging out listening to NPR all day but once I hear that guy’s voice I’m like “Time to stop listening and do something else with me day.” So thanks! He’s terrible. Really gets me going!

    Tau 10.8 interesting
    This topic started to bother me. Listening to the scientists talk about possibly some day inhabiting Mars and turning the River areas into a national park with plaques to memorialize their existence and discoveries. All that knowledge, money and effort could have been spent on this planet we exist on. Cleaning it up and helping the starving populations and homelessness and solving the problems of pollution. I just don’t think we are connected enough to our own existence and where we are after listening to these people talk. We have completely lost sight of what is currently right in front of us!

    Always Topical
    Snap Judgment gets to the truth, sometimes gently, sometimes deeply, its episodes eye opening, and you’ll feel for the people willing to tell their stories/truths!
  • Nikky Kelley
    Amazing but…
    I can’t stand Mr Washington … I don’t care for his intro stories. I don’t like how he speaks. The stories are so amazing, I wish there was a different intro or he didn’t say anything. Just food for thought. - Just read Peace and Pork Grease, 100 percent agree.
  • FNOMINL
    Best of the best!
    Great storytelling and just such an array of stories! Snap Judgement is the one podcast that I donate regularly to because it feeds my soul!
  • Yass girlypop
    Yay!
    This podcast is great! I just have to disagree how dogs are better than cats!🐱 😂. Anyway great podcat! Get it??😝
  • This app stank!
    The Road to Boito soul crushing adventure hop
    May God bless the sisters who used time and money at their own family’s expense to bring some justice for the beautiful children of Kenya. The man who masqueraded as a servant of God will be destroyed. That is the ultimate punishment. I can’t wait for the day.

    Call of booty
    I enjoy Snap all the time but it’s an extra bonus when we get to hear Dr. Ray’s wisdom.

    Just listened to this episode and felt it very timely. Yasmine found her inner strength and just demonstrated how reaching out can have positive results. She prepared and found common ground. I also would like to mention that student for taking the time and talked to her and in in end hung her poster ack. That student also demonstrated strength and humility. The new format where Glynn speaks with the writer is great. I love to hear the insights and am never disappointed. Lastly, can’t wait for Friday to hear about the latest spooked stories. Keep it up !
  • 04Heaven Slake
    Best podcast around hands down
    Glynn Washington and his producing partners have created a powerful, riveting storytelling experience that is unique and engaging.
  • Pork grease
    Audio
    I can’t remember the date when the audio meaning Glynns voice changed but it’s like it is too good cause I can hear his mouth noises again I’m not sure exactly what that means all I can say is when he is talking I hear the movement between his mouth and tongue? If that makes any sense I do enjoy this podcast it is obviously professionally done maybe y’all know about this or hopefully I am the one that breaks this wide open and I will have thousands or 10s of thousands of listeners that agree with me I’m not a neurotic person but that sound is like when my older brother eats he breaths thru his nose very loud it makes me crazy and also I do apologize for the lack of punctuation is that the word I’m looking for you know .?! ect call me the king of the run on sentence I hope this is looked into and I will continue to listen either way so no need to worry yourself or self’s if I go elsewhere.,?! Peace & Pork Grease

    Poetic -“Father Forgive Me”
    How does this podcast take a topic that is so otherwise polarizing and bring humanity to it? I had no experience, no ability to stand in these families shoes before listening to these stories. These families of death row prisoners are all of us. I am rethinking past perceptions, with a lens of empathy, because of having listened to this. I cannot see things quite as black-and-white as before.. there is so much gray in life.

    As far as I’m concerned I have a brand new perspective on the lives of people all over the world, we are different but all the same, keep the stories coming, wow 😎
  • HH1984!
    Glynn Washington Is Amazing!!
    The storytelling. The production. The nat sound mixing. His voice! I love, love, love this show and his other show Spooked. Keep up the good work… you and your team are amazing!
  • Dano-E
    Great content.. until
    Great content and have loved it for years, until now with that lame antisemitic terrorism pity party story.
  • bryonnajay
    Simply Wonderful!
    I just love this podcast. It tells stories in such an intriguing way — the introduction, the musical touches, the narration. It’s all so meticulous and wonderfully crafted. If you love great stories, listen to this podcast!!!!

    Spellbinding!
    Rootie the pig was so heartwarming! We're the cats rescued as well?

    Rooty The Pig
    One of the best stories i’ve heard in a while. every episode is done so well, i always end up feeling fully immersed in the story being told.
  • pnw24climber
    Blergh, so over this kind of content
    Sick of this show taking up space on NPR on the weekends. NPR stations used to have interesting and humorous content, but now it’s all filler stuff like this. Blah blah the world is awful, yes we all know. No need to doom spiral in it through boring stories we’ve heard a zillion times. Wish NPR would go back to good weekend programming.
  • Marksie100
    Well done!
    This podcast gives you a lot of intellectual fodder. I love Glynn’s storytelling, sense of humor and irony!
  • 914Mom212
    Love love this podcast BUT….
    Can’t seem to access it easily for my teens to listen to in the car. What can I say, I’m old and set in my App ways. I use the Podcast App or WNYC App on my iPhone, brought me to something about a subscription or something. Trying to figure out how to get it in automatic download so I can easily play it in the car. Basically heard a great story about the Robert E Lee Auditorium on the radio (WNYC) while driving. Couldn’t find the episode for my teen to listen to later.

    Crushin’
    Just discovered this podcast and gotta say…. I think I’m falling in love with Glynn. The fact that he has a rad podcast only makes him that much better. 🫶🫶
  • Ochewbac
    Still great
    Been listening since the beginning. No not-so-secret political agenda from the left or right, just rich storytelling. The low amount of ads doesn’t mess with the flow-a rarity these days. Always time well spent with a solid back beat.
  • pongo787907041776
    Thank God For Glynn
    Glynn knows how to find a great story. I’m eternally grateful for his existence.

    The Best Listening Experience
    I love it for the stories, I love it for the vibe, I love it for the music, I love it for the personalities. It’s so comforting to hear a mix of content based around great storytelling.
  • ihaveopinionstoo
    Look forward to each episode
    You know how some podcasts are background noise you put on to keep you company w a chore? This is not that. The stories, editing and producing keep your attention. You’re invested in the story and curious about its outcome.
  • talkNbot

    Writing on the wall.

  • Boo Bear 51#
    Is 5.18.2023 yet another repeat?
    I’ve been waiting for a new story since 2015. I let months go by and check in... the-run. This was my number one podcast. I might have missed the new stories but every time I check in.... old stories. If you doing something else, let us OG’s know so we can move on cuz.., we still love you.
