Nora is a gem - honest, funny, open, curious etc. I look to TTFA every week.t

Absolutely love this podcast. The rawness, the emotion that just flows instead of being edited out & sanitised. It's helped me so much through the worst year of my terrible life!

Nora is awesome! This podcast has seen me through some terrible times. And now I return when i’m able to walk and live alongside the grief for my darling granddaughter Georgie Who died in late 2019. I have to fast forward the music which is far too triggering of that time. I completely depended on this podcast during that dark time. It’s like I needed to be in a community of people who understood great loss. Thank you Nora and sending love! X

I started with 2017, and am now in 2020. I’ve a job and two kids but managing to stealthily work my way through about 3 a day. Nothing terrible has happened to me…yet, but when it does I hope I can lean into all the wonderful guests you’ve had on your podcast. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried and I’ve listened. Really listened. Which is a new skill for me. My second favourite podcast….I can’t cheat on Ear Hustle, but this one is a belter. Thank you team TTFA.

Your podcasts are so powerful and have struck such a chord with me...thank you!

This has helped me massively. I was listening to spark on the calm app as I couldn’t sleep one night and I was crying I needed a bit comfort. I lost my partner to throat cancer on 8th Nov 2020 just over 2 months ago - losing someone so quickly as I did changes your prospective on how you live your live. My issue is feeling like a burden - I cry, I laugh! And people think I’m good to go but inside I hurt like hell. Now when people ask I say no I’m not okay! I know it’s okay to feel like this generally this is not me and it’s hard to adjust to the new me. I would like to thank you Nora as I know it will never go away. But I will learn to live with it .

Thanks Nora for an amazing podcast. Some episodes hit me right in the gut, some are uplifting, many are a mix of both!

I live listening to these podcasts they are so life affirming 💛

^that is the sound of me eating all these podcasts UPPPP (I don’t know what I’m doing)

Basically this podcast is my favourite I have loved it for about a year now and it’s just so relatable and shows there are lessons in all of life’s terrible moments. Also Nora is a legend like totally would love to be her best friend and I’m not even embarrassed about it.

After hearing Nora on WTF with Marc Maron, I downloaded every episode of TTFA immediately. It’s a beautiful podcast, one of the best I’ve listened to. Thanks so much Nora :)

Thanks Nora for keeping it real, love your podcast.

This podcast has given me so many valuable topics and views to consider. Every week on a Tuesday (in season) I look forward to the no BS approach to humans and their realities. Truth is stranger than fiction.

My dad died about 6 weeks ago and I found Noras ted talk and these podcasts. I ve found them really interesting and helpful and would encourage anyone who is going through this type of pain or knows someone who is ... have a listen. It’s worth it.

I have listened to loads of these episodes and the content varies considerably with some great and some not so great stories. Throughout the host is consistently highly annoying.

So if you can push through her there are some really good real-life experiences to hear and learn from

Bad Moms-predictably unfunny, made worse by the intro that told me how funny it was going to be. Repeatedly saying vagina is not funny, just tedious.

Thank you Nora and team... this podcast is such a gift of healing for me and for so many.

The recent episode “Emily and Chanel” is so powerful and profound... and I hope every little girl hears it one day.

Thank you for creating this podcast with so much heart and love. Keep going!

Great production, great stories. Incredibly real and honest and heartbreaking.

The production on this podcast is out of this world, content aside (which is exceptional). Brilliant.

I love the interview the thoughts and content but the background gangster music is absolutely awful. Cant you pick something classical or jazzy ? Almost unbearable to listen to her recovery after the removal of the cyst, which is a shame.

6 months to save your life is no time at all .This dear young man was an addict and that means he was totally addicted to fame .That was why he couldn’t take 6 months out of a lifetime.

This podcast is truly amazing, I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I’ve spoke to myself about each episode. If you loved Strangers you would certainly love this.

I’m Currently binge listening. I commend the Team and those who share their stories which are very bitter sweet . Don’t ever stop!!

I started listening to this podcast when my person (Granny) died and I couldn’t stand listening to music anymore. It gave me a sense of belonging and it made me laugh harder than I could have expected. Human emotions and experiences are raw, confusing, conflicting and sometimes just weird. This podcast makes you realise that whatever you’re going through, you’re not alone.

I just found this pod cast this morning thanks to Nora’s ted talk and I am so glad I did. I struggle with mental health and I lost my baby and this just makes me feel better and not better but also okay that I’m not okay all at the same time? It’s beautiful in a sad but happy way and I’ve binged it all day long. Love it.

I don’t know where to start because everything about this podcast is brilliant. Nora is a perfect host and interviewer, the topics are handled wonderfully and sensitively, and despite the painful topics there is no feeling of it being a misery fest, in fact at times I find myself smiling, laughing and cheering. Just extraordinarily well done. Even the ads are listenable.

Thanks Nora.

Unbelievably well reported and really interesting yet tragic stories. Some might say it’s depressing but not me

I love this podcast. I admit that I am currently in a part of my life where I want to listen to this. When you have some stuff going on and you feel like others around you may not get it, may say the wrong thing, it’s a really safe place. Beautifully and respectfully produced and made. I have learnt so much. Thanks for making it,I find it healing.

A wonderful podcast that explores the pain we all experience in one way or another. Nora is a brilliant, sensitive and funny host.

It would be so easy to wax lyrical about how touching and sensitive TTFA is. It would be a breeze to applaud how brilliantly reactive, funny and responsive Nora is.

But I really want to say how fantastically put together the podcast is on a technical level. The music, the production and the pace of each episode is so well gauged and so closely related to the subject matter that more than most, TTFA envelopes me into each story.

An absolute joy of a podcast and one to make you cry with laughter as much as it breaks your heart.

Emphasises the importance of mental health, and how not all wounds need to be physical to be painful.

Great podcast and really excellent interviewer but I think the music in the background is distracting and over the top.

Episode 30, Route 91 is an incredibly powerful piece

This show pulled a “prank” where an episode featured an emotionally raw story that was LOLLLLLL JUST KIDDING. This is ridiculous and immature. Screw this show.

This is truly one of my favourite podcasts.

Heartbreaking and life-affirming. Beautifully written, produced and presented - this is essential listening.

Because you sometimes just need everyone see you try not to cry at work... great stories, well told and softly spoken sad stories...

it's really good but super deep

I didn't know what to tittle this review...

You will laugh and trust me you are going to cry.... Some of the interviews are just incredible and strange to say this you do feel sort of lucky to hear these people talking about the absolute worst time in their lives.

Incredible audio

This podcast has made me laugh and cry and I can't wait for more fantastic episodes.

Honest stories showing life for what it truly is.

I really enjoy the honesty and openness with which Nora approaches each topic and interview. It makes me feel normal as it is humbling to hear the things other people are struggling with. It's kind of addictive.

I adore this podcast. It is moving, thought provoking and supportive. 10/10 5 stars are not enough

Unanimous five star reviews, not in any way surprised. This podcast is incredible. Not one to listen to on your commute because you get funny looks for emotional breakdowns on the train, but so so good. Empathetic, fascinating, beautifully done.

I never cried so much in my life. Beautiful podcast run by an amazing person.

I love this podcast, the first time I heard Nora it felt like finding somewhere that was home, but where I learned enough to be out of my comfort zone, which is where good things happen. I love the honesty in TTFA, the real raw emotions come through, I love how the pauses and silences in moments of pure emotion are kept in. If you're briefly considering downloading an episode, DO IT!

This show is brilliant. I loved this episode. Thank you for all your words and thoughts and for this podcast and for keeping the high beam on the dark spaces of silence and shame .

This is a fantastic podcast which sensitively explores how people manage, continue and stay strong in the face of adversity. Listen. And try to be nice to people who may be going through things you can't even imagine and staying calm and strong.

My new favourite. Each story is handled so gracefully- I've laughed and cried most episodes.

A beautiful touching podcast. Nora is funny, intelligent, raw and brave, I look forward to each weeks episode.

Please find another way to get the extra episodes though, I'm in the U.K. so I can't text.

Looking forward to the next episode

Raw, honest, gritty, gut-wrenching, necessary, and, incredible. Thank you.
