If you like Joe Rogan long form you’ll love SRS

I’m a huge fan of story time and the long form interviews. SRS is just building the library from what I can tell. Check it now and you get to start close to the beginning.

Amazing stories, great interviews

Shawn is an amazing interviewer, especially in the context of most of his guests. There's some amazing stories from the special ops community, but the episodes where he steps out a bit (cartels, psychedelics, ufos, etc.) are awesome as well. Nothing but straight up, incredible stories right from the people who were there. I hope Ep. 100 is a deep dive into Shawn's career!

A truly amazing project

I've listened to nearly all of the interviews at this point and the stories your guests have to tell are truly amazing. Not only are the interviews entertaining, interesting and thought provoking they are also opening eyes to some hard and widely overlooked subjects. thank you for providing a platform for these people to share their stories. keep it up. you're all doing a great job.

Great job

Huge fan of your work. Keep up the great job. Could only imagine if there was some like you to document the brave men and women of the greatest generation. A lot of history is lost.
