    Mr. Ballen i am a teacher to nursing students and i listen to you all the time and enjoy your stories. My husband and I watch often. I want to thank you as i noticed the other day that my instruction to students seemed more excited and I realized it is from listening to you and how you tell stories in such an interesting way, I have began teaching in a more interesting way so thank you and I love your story telling.

(It was cold in my room and I realized when I woke up that’s why I’d dreamt that) Even in my dreams he’s still being the daddy he always was.

      John was below their "station" and the Brits of that time would never soil the reputation of their own. In fact, if you watch "Are You Being Served" a British comedy from '70s to 2000s , you'll see that they still are that way. Social standing is most important to them.

      Wouldn't have believed her, plus then she would have to let the cat out of the bag. And at the end, they would say the brother and sister worked together. In those times, if you weren't a nobleman of some sort or from a decent family, your word meant nothing

      @@zaaviya-e-Ghalib I don't think it's fair to say she failed him. She was a poor woman with a child out of wedlock who witnessed her lover kill someone and then commit arson to protect his reputation. If he was willing to kill a friend, what would really have stopped him from killing or hurting her? He clearly valued his reputation over his morals.
      And if she were to tell anyone what happened, she faced being accused of lying and plotting the murder with her brother and attempting to frame someone else for the crime (because, as he said, forensic science was nonexistent then. police 'solved' cases based on their assumptions, hunches, bribery and whatever made sense to them), on top of facing ostracization from people for having a child out of wedlock, which would have been just as horrible as being seen as a criminal.
      As a poor woman, she already did not have many rights or powers of her own; imagine trying to fight against a man with power and equally powerful friends on his side while in her position. No one would have believed her in the end, and she would have been in an even worse situation than before. It's sad, but the people who actually failed him were the police and justice system, not his sister, who was in a horrible predicament of her own.

Mike's always been a once a week guy, but nonetheless I watch them both equally. But Mike has the Life Insurance song and dance. It's few and far between, but you can't help getting excited when you know it's coming any second. And Disturban is VERY CONSISTENT aswell and really good. Ballen, Mike and the Disturban guy are my holy trinity of storytellers.

      @@jessicaaragon4215 did you listen to them on the platforms or did you listen to them on those TH-cam channels that upload from Amazon? The TH-cam channels that upload absolutely don't sound good at all. The ones on Amazon that are re-uploads from this channel don't sound good either even though he says they're remastered. I think that's why they sound so bad on the TH-cam channel. I won't say the channels are stealing the content because I've been chewed out by numerous people on the non check marked channel by people who said Mr Ballen's staff run that channel as well but don't take credit because the podcast was at the time exclusive to Amazon. But anyway, the podcast only episodes sound good on Amazon. They do get all drawn out. I do enjoy his storytelling but I've noticed he fills in with way too many unnecessary details but leaves important stuff out all the time. Well, not him. Whoever does his writing. Those podcasts have long lists of employees. I always think of "his" style as a campfire made for TV dramatized version of events..sorta like Lifetime movies. I always have something playing on my tv or phone so the longer the better for me. I listen and watch a lot of content. I watch more on streaming services than I listen to platforms though. Right now I've been listening to his medical mysteries series. It's super, super good. I've actually learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know. Run, fool is great too but it's read by Rodney Barnes. He is splendid. His voice is radio/voiceover quality. As for anyone else, I haven't found anything. I'm so late to the podcast thing, I don't even know how to find anything good.. Everything I've found on Amazon besides Ballen content is AI from Reddit. Kinda irritating because that's one reason I wanted to listen to podcasts is to get away from all the AI and reddit content.

    THIS PODCAST OF YOURS SAVED MY LIFE (mental health, being able to save the podcast for downloads when I was out of reception, the biggest PTSD ease).
    THE SPOTIFY CREW IS BACK!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, if I’m ever able to get the Amazon Music one, I’m SO ON IT, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH, that podcast and your stories are just amazing. You and your work and charity is one of the most incredible things ever and a wonder of the world in our generation/lifetime.

    And if I’m being honest I would love to have a collaboration with you and my other favorite podcast Morbid….Ash, Alaina and Mr. Ballen that would be badass!! LOL

    I am a Christian. Many of us do believe in divine intervention. So here's my theory: I don't think Emma just prayed with the people who worked for her, I believe she prayed for them too. If that's the case, then I believe God really intervened and saved John.

      ​@@charlieware843I think, aside from what is a conventional description of God, he is a force. I don't know why mercy isn't universally dispensed. Maybe it is because you and I and others who were made in his image choose not to. I don't know but I do know that when one is utterly broken and there are no more human pretenses or pretending to get in your way, a prayer that is earnest and without ulterior motive made from a broken heart does, on occasion, get answered. I've seen the miraculous myself. I know that nothing outside of your own experience will convince you. That is okay as it was much the case for myself and is with humanity in general.
      The older I get the clearer mans true motives are to see and the more you value what would be seen as innocent in all its forms. That and the thought that there really is no such thing as coincidence.

      Unfortunately, there are many people in this world who lack appreciation of what others do or have done for them. Selfish or self absorbed persons just seem incapable of showing gratitude. As for having no reason, again not every murderer necessarily needs
      a reason to commit the crime.
