I can’t really even find the words to express how much I loved this podcast. I cannot fault it.
I particularly love the bravery of Caitlin and the production style, it’s audio bliss even when the subject matter is really heavy and dark.

No - amazing and captures just what it’s like to say no or not say no
Amazing mini series where they really really explain why girls and women don’t say no, and the ways in which we say no, and why
I think every boy and man should listen to this and maybe they will understand.

Superb radio
This should be required listening to all adolescent and older humans. I was introduced to this podcast by this weeks Radiolab and have been, by varying degrees, awed, entertained and horrified by the raw honesty, bravery and creativity of this series. As a new father to a little girl things like this make me so glad that I have not brought more boys into the world, and hopeful that my partner and I, and the changing world around us can try to shape the next generation away from this kind of behaviour. Thanks!

Perfection
This podcast is made with so much love and care and sensitivity. It’s helped me through so much by talking openly about such a wide range of issues and topics. The ‘No’ series was especially excellent and relatable. Thank you Kaitlin and everyone else involved, what you make is art and I love it!

We need more podcasts like this
I love this beautifully crafted, honest podcast, it inspires me and makes you consider, think and care about lives and issues you may never have thought of or examined fully before. And the sound design is some of the most creative and high quality your ears will ever enjoy 😍 Can’t wait to see what they all do next!

This podcast is a ray of light
Some of the best and most thoughtful work out there. Shout out to the amazing sound design too. I listen to lots of radio stories about queer people and trans folks, and topics in that sort of area, but when you hear your experiences reflected in a story on The Heart, you don't feel like you're a 'subject'... it's like The Heart is a home for all those people and stories, where those perspectives are always right at the centre.

Has helped me to understand and further accept my own femininity. Truly, stunningly beautiful. I love how varied it is and takes so many perspectives into account, which I think is important in understanding other people. The only improvement I can think of is maybe make some slightly longer episodes of possible but thank you!:) Right up there is my favourite podcast: Love+Radio

Where my love of podcasts began
This is the podcast that made me fall in love with the art of podcasting. The Heart is a truly magical sound experience for your ears, I love to listen to it walking around in the city - but being taken to a completely different world. Thank you so much for taking the time to create this work. I genuinely think listening to this and other Radiotopia podcasts has made me a happier and more curious person. Thank you :)

Something for everyone
Honestly, one of my favourite parts of this podcast is listening to episodes without reading the description first just to see what happens. This podcast is so beautifully varied, sometimes touching, sometimes inspiring, and often subtly sexy. It's a world of fleeting touching, rose-tinted memories, and painful heartbreak. It's gorgeous, it's evocative, I love it. Give a couple episodes a try to see if you find something you like; there's bound to be something for everyone.

Art radio
Dreamy, sexy, smart, funny. Not limited by the format. Unashamedly arty. Like sharing secrets with your best friend.

Unique & Unmissable
Long time listener, my favourite podcast. Beautiful narration, unusual perspectives, quirky stories. It has a real diversity, its a podcast of pure untarnished quality. You won't find a better podcast. I eagerly await new releases.
Additionally, Mitra is a very beautiful name, like //damn//. x

Perfect. Weird. Uncategorisable.
Don't go looking for what you want. You'll feel let down. Be open. Listen. This is podcasting turned to art, to real poetry.

Found
Found this podcast by accident and listened to mostly all in 2 days! This just goes to show how the topics covered are relevant to modern sexually aware people!!! Keep up the good work!!!

So many feels
Started listening to these gals recently and can’t get enough of them. They manage to capture all those awkward, intimate, strange moments that are so intense in the moment but so quickly forgotten as life carries on. So, so many feels x

Truly Wonderful
I came across The Heart last year (it was called Audio Smut at the time) through The Truth podcast and haven't stopped listening since. The stories they tell are so beautifully told with subjects that evoke a level of intimacy I haven't experienced with other podcasts.
My only wish was that episodes were a bit longer and more frequent. There has been many a time where I'm longing for a new episode on my way back from uni.
Keep up the incredible work!

I heart The Heart
The voices are dreamy, the production is epic and the diversity makes my heart happy. More please, more! x

AMAZING!
I love this podcast so much, I really do wish they made more longer episodes I could listen to this show for hours, I really could. Keep up the good work!

Epic.
For the last couple of years, I've been listening to podcasts on my daily commutes as a way to fill the silence.
But now, after stumbling onto The Heart (née AudioSmut), I find myself actually taking the long route home just so that I have more listening time.
Truly enlightening podcasts with real people sharing honest experiences. I'm in love with this gang. It's like a detox from all the crap you tend to hear throughout the day.

Amazing!
I listen to these on my commute to and from work and absolutely love them. I now look forward to the delayed trains!!

Not very smutty
First time listener. Was a bit perplexed to find the first episode I downloaded to be a guide on how to smuggle drugs in your vagina, which struck me as quite unsexy. I'm a supporter of cannabis decriminalisation but honestly this whole thing seemed a bit immature and 'studenty' rather than a good exploration of the issues. I'm also not sure if the authors realised the irony of their disparaging remarks about cigarettes while simultaneously stating how much they needed weed to make an event fun. I'll listen to another episode but I am wondering if at age 28 I'm not the intended target audience.
