That story about the son looking for his dad was awesome. It was extremely interesting.

What was that first story??? That story was one of the best pieces of media I’ve ever consumed. I’ve never been this hooked before (tbh I’m a bit exaggerating here :D). I feel like him finding his father wouldn’t actually be good, the mom would def not welcome her husband after he just up and left them like that. And the son’s dedication? to go out of his way just to look for his dad? is stupid in a way that makes it admirable imo (: It’s crazy to think that it’s actually real (i have my skepticism tho. Anyway what a great pick, Joel d: Also, Happy Birthday my guy (: I know I’m a bit late to the party, but i wanted to to add it in. I also have been subbed to ur channel for the past 2 years, and ur stories have been the most memorable out of any other narration channel. Crazy work dude 👏🏻

Couldn’t listen to story 4. As a father of a little girl, she definitely gets me frustrated at times but I could never imagine hitting her. It breaks my heart to hear stuff like this, it’s genuinely painful to listen to.

The story where the boy is blindfolded by his mother is the worst story I've ever heard and I love Lets Read, my guy Joel, and all true crime stories. I wanna cry. TY Joel for this awful heartbreaking story, his truth needed to be told. I pray that child does better in life. It sounds like his mother suffered DID, but I cannot diagnose. I just pray his life went up rather than straight or down. God be with all of these people, and especially that poor boy. 🙏

I was driving and this homeless guy crossing the street lost it. Out of nowhere he started spazzing out. Flailing his limbs and head jolting around. He started screaming. This howl that sounded like hell. He was carrying a branch and was thwacking it on the street. Scared the hell out of me.
