Nunya00000AI Generated voice?I noticed the voice has become artificially generated. The new cadence is too neat. Ben Hamm's voice is unique so I'm surprised someone thought this would work. Silly

Melish TUGHCan you guys coach these people or edit their stories first PLEASE. This latest one sounded like it could have been a Great story if it wasnāt for the completely useless details āturkey burgers and riceā and the 27,000 times she said ālikeā. GET TO THE POINT. Ugh I tried 4 times and I just could NOT get through itš©

Going forward for nowLaundering money with Sergio 2nd partHost, co-host Susie Lark whoever she is, telling Belinda to punt kick her dog is terrible! I just subscribed to this podcast. If she hosts a lot of other shows, Iām unsubscribing.
-
haterofbgamesIām DoneI love this show! However I can not believe that the story, āIām doneā, so real, she really sounds like she is making up answers to your questions. This was so unlike your show.

Kristin1714DaughtersThe woman from the episode Daughters needs a reality check. I can sympathize with her about lacking good judgement after being locked up by her ex but then moving away with a priority to DATE. What?! Thatās a problem. Did she only return because her ex killed himself? She also still wonāt call it abandonment even though thatās exactly what it is. The ending was strange too. Why would we want to see pictures of the bar, etc.? Every detail of this story is disturbing. She deserves whatever relationship she does or doesnāt have with the girls, honestly. I donāt blame her girls at all. Their mother is not stable. Seems to prioritize men over her own kids. She seemed to want praise for not doing drugs while pregnant and not marrying the guy. What? Her morals and standards are one step away from being in the trash. Odd woman and odd story because she refused to acknowledge the seriousness of what she did and how it impacted her daughters. Selfish and immature perspective.

Red doomEsssses!I really love your content but itās become so hard to listen to. I donāt know if itās your microphone or what but it seems like every female guest you have on, hisses their Sās. It never happens on your side of the microphone so Iām not sure whatās happenings itās very annoying

TE BanfillāAddictedā to The Secret Room~Such a great idea for a Podcast! Refreshing, one-of-a kind and the conceptā¦EXTRAORDINARILY entertaining! Ben has a very friendly, genuine and personality! It is obvious why he has so many callers! His voice is soothing and comforting voice! Love every episode!

addieJunā¦.Awesome podcastThis is a great podcast. Very interesting. One of the few Iām following. Would definitely recommend. Some are drawn out a bit too much but some arenāt though.
-
KJM1689Ben Hamm is amazing but Susie Lark is not.I have subscribed twice and now have inscribed three times because Susie Lark is such a horrible host. Do jot subscribe if you want more of this podcast because you wonāt get that.
-
26MDWOnce worthyYour show is slipping, accepting any stories now?
-
Annes73Great podcastBen is a great host and extremely empathetic. I enjoy the fact that these are stories from real people. Ben does a great job. I like his calm and caring approach to people who are sharing very deep and personal secrets.
-
cjwilson1952Ben is a great hostI look forward to every episode. Ben does a great job hosting. Iām adding to my review years later to say the lady in episode #229 is one messed up and unaware of accountability. That was a crazy one. She needs some more therapy. The older brother only molested her a couple times and the younger brother abused her for years yet she wouldnāt confront him or have dinner with him. Itās not a healthy outcome. In 84 she should have been smart enough to leave David and Justin would still be alive.She is very messed up. Justin should never have been with her. What messed up people with no morales. Iām glad her son is not with her.
-
Jana1469Hovering over the unfollow buttonAre used to really love this podcast. And then, everything went subscriber only. It seems like he rarely throws us a bone used to be that way. Donāt have extra funds to subscribe. so, I guess Iāll just unfollow because itās so frustrating.
-
SamanthaJH507One less star for thisLove this show but heās started putting so many episodes behind the paywall & like most people I get tired of buying subscriptions.
-
NikkiPonceThe Pang in my HeartOy, vey! Ben, how in the world did you get through all that negativity?!! Sheās the worst!!! Ugh. She labels EVERYONE in her family a narcissistā¦pot calling the kettle black. And oddly enough, she said she grew up with privilege but complained about her entire childhood NON-STOP! Iāll bet you needed at least a week off after that Youāre a saint and a GREAT interviewer.
-
Ceanne 11The DealershipThat woman was so impressive. I hope she does climb the ladder to the next position up, because she appears to be quite, intuitive, intelligent, and strong. She apparently knows her stuff!!! hanks for sharing your secret!
-
Aabbccdd 1234Great Pod, Lots of CowardsCanāt say enough about how excellent the host and show are. The one takeaway from listening to many, many episodes is that the majority of the secret holders have their secrets because they are timid and unwilling to face difficult situations, so they shy away from doing what they need to in order to resolve their issues. Itās quite frustrating but still, always a good listen. Especially Dadās Texts⦠your dad has been steamrolling you your entire life and him and the harlot definitely had a role to play in your motherās downward spiral and death. Stop kicking the can and say something, you have every right and youāll feel better when everythingās all on the table. Episode 227 was terrible to listen to. The woman telling the story was evil and pathetic, and her justifications were disgusting and laughable. You sold yourself and fed other women to Rob, you are a bad person any way you slice it.
-
Christie in TNSo interestingIām obsessed with this show. Love the sweet host. But Dealership girl, and maybe Iām wrong, but itās the first episode in all the yrs I couldnāt finish. She needs to own up to her bad choices. I have no doubt the dude was awful and had no business pursuing an affair with her. However, neither did she. You canāt always blame grooming and being dissociative as an excuse for your bad behavior. She chose to have an affair with a married man. Thatās as far as I got due to her placing 99 percent blame on the man. Not fair. Youāre an adult. Act like it. A real woman owns up to her mistakes.

AugustkackBeyond BoringThis review is demeaning to everyone that has anything critical or intelligent to say. It is an interview with a woman who has a pet rat that is a genius compared to her. It would be a compliment to say that she has the iQ of a potato chip. This is not an interview, it is a complete waste of time and energy on something so trite, completely stupid and beyond boring that desperation would be the only reason to waste time and energy putting this garbage in a podcast. The one and only tiny tidbit of horrifying information that pops up at the end of this profoundly disturbing bundle of verbiage, is that this dull excuse for a human being accidentally revealed that she lead a life so depraved, drug ridden and beyond filthy that she got and spread the Bubonic Plague. Really funny - right? Any podcaster that promotes and supports this kind of vulgar, antisocial, reckless, medically dangerous behavior is a dimwitted pervert and a danger to us all. Would anyone call this entertaining? I think not, unless youāre a potato chip.
-
Kelly Kate MAmazing Podcast!The host is so kind, empathetic and a great listener! My only complaint is I want more episodes!
-
TSD1968Love the show, but sheesh!Show Host provides great dialogue, however, after listening to Pang in my Heart I wonder how youāre finding material. The individual in that episode was the worst liar and made the least sense of anyone Iāve ever heard on a podcast. She ranted on and on about how her aunt was narcissist, but she needs to look in the mirror.
-
RosieisLifeB O R I N G!Nothing interesting here - don't waste your time.
-
ACosensGreat PodcastI would like to leave a comment regarding episode #222, not sure how bc Iām unable to comment on episodes. I must be dumb, ugh I really have some info to perhaps help her guilt she is feeling. Anyway, I do appreciate the podcast. Absolutely will pass it on and keep listening! Thank You
-
Lance of AZGreat concept.I love listening to the show and the great stories, but I could do without that hostās personal opinions/judgements. I.e. if someone says they got away with a lot of things as a teenager, he doesnāt miss an opportunity to say how different things could have been if their skin was a different color. OR if some woman tells a story about a man coming on to her, he is quick to call it sexual assault. Host is extra sensitive and loves to man shame. Drives. me. Crazy. The stories are great though!
-
anthony12275Ehh podcast.The stories are not that interesting to be this long. Need to edit them to make them shorter. When you read the descriptions they do lure you in but when you listen they are a let down. They drag on for too long. Wish they could be edited better to cut out the fluff. Also I donāt get the subscription format if you have ads.
-
podrev123Where are the secrets?This used to be the absolute best podcast. Ben is extremely talented and all around lovable person. But the show has sadly taken a nose dive. The stories have become long, drawn-out, mundane stories. The most recent one was about a woman who was in a āsituationshipā and then they broke up. Nothing else happened. So boring. Another one was a long drawn out story about a massage therapist who got a huge tip from a client. So what! Iām embarrassed that I recommend this podcast to a friend.
-
IrishHooRoad to NowhereIt pains me to write this because I really, really like Ben ā but he deserves better than the immature, boring guests that volunteer to tell their āsecrets.ā Problem is, most of them arenāt secrets at all. This most recent season is just full of lame interviews about broken relationships and juvenile misadventures told by narrators who appear to have very little insight into their own stories. I really enjoyed the first few seasons, but poor casting has turned the show into an extremely frustrating listening experience.
-
Sam4241Hole 14Probably the worse episodeā¦. Soooooooooo drawn out! Yawn š„±
-
Claudia, the TeacherPower DynamicVery sad to listen to⦠itās a manifesto of poor decisions perhaps just to keep a roof over the personās head no matter whether scruples are compromised or not ā¦. I could not finish listen to this episode. Usually 80% of the time episodes have an interesting or funny end. (????) Hole 14th best episode Iāve heard in a while.
-
podcaster from birthLove it herePOD ON BEN
-
StahpittAre these even secrets?Stories are very disappointing. I keep waiting for the exciting part of the secret and it never comes. It feels like a huge waste of time.
-
CWS IIIUsed to be really interestingā¦The first episodes were really interesting but lately, not so much. The episode with Jo was painfully and unnecessarily long. Not to mention, Jo was difficult to listen to. The secret was very underwhelming. Perhaps the host can search for individuals with more shocking/interesting secrets.
-
Adrienne223Like a fish, Iām hooked! š¤©Just started listening to this podcast a few days and Iām absolutely addicted! I love the chemistry of the hosts and look forward to binging over the weekend! Unique, thought-provoking and funny! Keep up the great work! ššš
-
Bombastic BushkinUnderwhelmedSome of the shows lately have been kind of lame. Iām looking at you Australian child psychic episode. I mean, what a boring āsecretā.
-
celestialangelaLove this show!Interesting and engaging, thank you!
-
Ellisbee99Tangled Ties - why?Whatās going on with the story selections. They used to be thoughtful and interesting. This latest episode was another pointless Jerry Springer show.
-
ttam535Itās become like the Jerry Springer ShowThere have been some good episodes in the past, but the show has become full of cringy lowlifes with tales from the trailer park.
-
f7hugugutuyuyitLOVE BEN! šššI found this podcast a few weeks ago after a suggestion from a friend. I have been binging every episode since then. Ben is a great host with a great variety of guests! Love it!!

WhyBabyJesusWhyShallowItās as if nearly everyone with a āsecretā comes directly from central casting- the same world views, normative expectations and more often than not the same vocal fry and pattern of speaking. Like they all had the same cookie cutter lifestyle stamped indelibly on their personalities. The secrets revealed are seemingly soap opera sordid. Titillating events that small minded bullies love to use to keep score.The kind of things that nice church going middle class people would never do and definitely judge and shun those who did. More often than not the story ends with the person returning to their lives similar to how it was before- except they have this āsecretā that they can hold onto as something that makes them ā specialā as they continue on in conformity. The whole concept of āhaving a secret ā is based around shame, guilt and projection. While telling secrets about oneself is cathartic listening to the type secrets that routinely get people ācancelledā knowing that this person is āsafeā while multiple others have their lives ruined for doing the same thing has this shallow flavor of ick.
-
WmhuntPromotes bad behaviorAt first episodes were a good listen. After initial binge giving a chick getting played and venting is no good. And giving ābenevolentā drug dealers and users also no good. These losers are losers and maybe so is Ben. No stars Ben. Pick better secrets.
-
AwesomenesslyamazingOk show at best.Some episodes are really interesting and funny and some are just too annoying and unbearable to listen to. I also feel like I wasted my money on unlocked because I donāt care too much for the host for the unlocked episodes. I loved the episode āHis name was troubleā was such a cute story. But I could care less for the girl in the āescape from gilli tā and ākill billā.
-
SunnyDay1245CharleeIt was a little difficult listening to Charlee. She literally came across as taking no responsibility for her actions. Her lesson , donāt be too trusting instead of she made bad choices and threw kids in the mix. If there were a saving God he would of protected her from having not 1, not 2 but 3 kids. But I do like your podcast!
-
TShaneRogersSo much potentialThere have been great episodes, but it was incredibly disappointing to hear Ben laugh along with a guest who admits to extortion and concocting false allegations for petty revenge. Itās fine to let a guest dig their own grave, but you donāt need to join them in it. You can do (and have done) so much better. Regretfully unsubscribing.
-
Hannah.mae1097Really enjoy this podcastI really enjoy this podcast 90% of the time. Some of the stories donāt connect for me, I prefer the deeper conversations, so I tend to skip the silly ones but itās a great show.
-
vdoubleyewMars is clearly not over itā¦Mars needs therapy and the revenge model is toxic.
-
american_greedgood authentic stories!really enjoying the podcast
-
Carynn JacksonEp 207 was a HUGE turnoff!!!I donāt even know where to begin with how awful this was. The person telling their story is SO obviously lying and I would be willing to bet has made up the majority, if not all, of the details. Itās extremely transparent that she concocted these strange (and super boring) escapades for whatever reasonā¦to get on the show maybe? This is the type of person who gets off on catfishing. Not only is her story likely total fiction, but she is perpetuating the stereotype of the ignorant, privileged, culturally inept American tourist. It was utterly gross to hear and I canāt believe she was given a platform. This person is an adult? It felt like I was listening to an immature 14-year-old describe what they imagine a backpacking trip is in a desperate attempt to sound like what they think is cool. Even IF true, there was zero value to her story. It was a complete waste of my time and I had to turn it off half way through ā it was that bad. This was the first episode Iāve listened to and i think it will also be my last. Yikes.

ExistentialCrisesDonāt Sleep on ItSome of the stories are wild, some are touching, and many are reflective of the relatable things in life that we keep secret because we think weāre alone - but we arenāt. But has a great voice and plenty of compassion for his guests, giving them a safe place to cleanse their souls.
