If you like The Moth, This American Life or Snap Judgment, take a walk on the wilder side with RISK! Your colorful host Kevin Allison (of the legendary comedy group The State) helms this surprisingly uncensored show where people tell jaw-dropping true stories they never thought they'd dare to share in public. RISK! is hilarious, heart-wrenching and remarkably real. Think you've heard it all? Fasten your seatbelt.

My Crotch and the Night (CRS163)

Like the Moth? This is better.

Oct 06, 2017 by NH Grace

The podcast host has a voice that makes me shudder, but the stories are terrific.

Yikes, these are wild stories!

Aug 06, 2017 by Mimi G

The 12th version of the best of Risk was fascinating, though a bit uneven. The first couple of stories were great, then we had horrific, then kinky, then strange. This is definitely going on my list -- what a way to peer into lives so very different than my own.

From every angle- Risk! will grab you and won't let go. Hold on tight!

This is my go to podcast for runs. The stories transport you. Kevin Allison and his team do a phenomenal job bringing different people together to tell stories on a weekly theme. They're often funny, sad, heartbreaking and scary. His team helps people prepare to tell the stories in the most impactful way. It makes a huge difference, while the people may be "amateur" story tellers, the stories they tell and the way they tell them is anything but. If you enjoy storytelling, if you enjoy hearing about wild parts of other's lives, then check this one out.
