“The Trouble” remains one of my favorite podcasts, as it takes the listener through momentous journeys of excitement, nostalgia, and mystery. I love it! Dr. David A. Smith

Loved it until I got to the Politicized episode. 🙄

I love this podcast so much! Entertaining and relatable.

I just found this podcast yesterday & I only have 2 episodes left... I NEED MORE. I have been listening to podcasts for a couple of years now and I have to say I LOVE THIS! It’s heartfelt and real. Shannon you do a FANTASTIC job! Please release more episodes!!!!

Unique and riveting glimpses into people’s deeply personal stories of hardship. Each one unfolds very naturally and is told with a huge amount of empathy. I was inspired by every subject and their bravery in sharing their experiences so candidly.

Wow. You’re a natural interviewer. This story was awesome. I’m a fan of your homemade stories and now I want to hear more of the trouble. #teamshannoncason

I love listening to Shannon tell stories and talking with folks. The topics are so interesting. I hope there is a season 2 or 3 or 4!

Love this content

Where did you go? I miss your show! Come baaaaack!!!!

So so love Shannon and his guests. I feel like I’m sitting in on a conversation between old friends. Each interview is so intimate and raw. We need more shows like this about everyday people!

This is a wonderful show. I feel like my heart and empathy grew three sizes today. I am wishing the very best for all the troubled guest and wonderfully engaging host.

I love stories and topics that appeal to our critical thinking abilities. Unfortunately there are so many podcasts out there that delve into social sciences to the point where they all sound and seem the same. I’m so glad I gave this podcast a chance because Shannon really knows how to tell a narrative without getting caught up in something else that has nothing to do with the story, e.g. podcasters often talk about their prosaic lives the first ten minutes of their shows or chronically interrupt the interviewee with their insight or beliefs. This is straightforward ear-catching nonfiction that leaves out the annoying residue that other podcasts just can’t seem to shake.

Love this the Podcast! Amazing storyline keep up the good work!

These people’s struggles need to be heard! Thank you for providing a place where people can talk!

You can really feel the power and impact of these stories. The host is funny and engaging- I hope more episodes will be coming soon!

Hey 👋🏻 Calling all interested internets. Want your ear holes filled with tantalizing tidbits and excitement beyond your wildest dreams? 😯 Well. . . You’ve stumbled into the finest corner of the webs of the world. Shannon is the finest podhost I’ve come across.

Some of Shanon Cason's personal stories are so memorable. Be sure to check him out on youtube. I just discovered this a few weeks ago. First several episodes are great! Fascinating topics. Easy to listen to while I work. Keep it up, Cason!

Love this podcast! Reminds me that everyone has a core humanity and everything else is the world revolving around that. Shannon is a master at finding it.

These stories were intriguing and held my attention the whole time. I hope they’ll make more episodes.

Love Shannon’s honest interviewing style. He’ll ask questions that’ll be so real, I’ll be like “how the hell do you answer that, without telling your whole truth??” I can’t wait for more future episodes to focus on those in society we here from too little, the stories left out or awkward to tell. Those stories out of the world of privilege and into the world that needs sincere, honest telling of.

Love this host. He is genuine, his voice is fantastic to listen to, and he is a great interviewer. It’s clear people feel comfortable talking to him. I love this podcast because it takes a very interesting angle on the concept of trouble by discussing not only how we get into it but that all of us have trouble at one point in our lives and often we get into trouble even when we have the best intentions. I love how the host addresses how we deal with the trouble we’re in when we get there too. Can’t wait for more episodes. I tell everyone about this podcast!

Love his delivery. Great show.

So human. So well told. You find great natural storytellers, then have intimate, honest and perceptive conversations with them. Then edit them into quiet but edge of my seat stories. Love your voice too.

Shannon is wonderful—cool, caring, and funny. His subject matter and the ways in which the stories are told are fascinating. Please give me more Trouble!

great concept, humorous and relatable host in Shannon, amazing stories. really enjoying this podcast.

This show is stellar. It focuses on so many current topics, emotions, politics and what not.. I am hooked. Mr Cason is so good n articulate & he instantly connects with his guest story tellers & his podcast listeners. Keep it on!

Beautiful, funny and tragic at once, and extremely fascinating. Loved Shannon Cason on Snap Judgement; thrilled to hear his own podcast. And this crew puts these stories together so fluidly and powerfully.

I just found this show this morning and am already 7 episodes deep. Such a great concept and done executed really well. The host is funny and sincere, and he seems like a pretty nice guy. I'm looking forward to more great stories!

Wow. Not only is each topic more riveting than the last, the incredible, thorough and incredibly empathic reporting of the wonderfully personable Shannon Cason makes you wish you knew him in real life, when you stop and remember you don’t... This is a can’t and don’t miss podcast.

Shannon is a great story teller, and the subject is entertaining. Looking forward to another season.

Each episode has been excellent for their own reasons. Fodder for thoughtful thinking on my own and with anyone who has listened. Keep going. You are on to something really good about we crazy, wonderful, unpredictable humans! Thank you Shannon Cason!

I like feel good stories that make me smile and that increase my already positive outlook on life, but the world is not perfect and this podcast reflects that. We can learn from our mistakes and anyone listening to this insightful podcast can gain something. *Side note: the host’s voice is like butter he could read the dictionary for 30 minutes and I would still hit subscribe.

Shannon Cason is a wonderful storyteller. He makes the listener and, I would bet, the people being interviewed feel at home. His voice is also warm and understanding. Te most important thing about this podcast is that listeners get a chance to understand and not judge others. I am thankful for that, and we need more of this. It reminds me that every person you meet could be going through something tough.

I need that girl to go to every protest, we all do. Thank you for bearing the cross so openly n w/o shame. For u r the one, the one that speaks for so many who cannot shout in the open but in our hearts scream w u. Make this country fulfill its promise- Ty!!!!

I was always a huge fan of Shannon Kayson‘s Homemade Stories, so instantly subscribing to The Trouble was a no brainer. I’m delighted to have twice as much Shannon Cason in my podcast feed. This is a great addition to any podcast library, great interviews and intriguing situations, and still maintains the pleasure that is pure, classic Shannon Cason.

I love this podcast! A completely different viewpoint of life and culture.

Heard Shannon on Snap Judgement and truly enjoyed that kick back episode! Stumbled across his other podcast and Love your “Freak Nic” memory story!

So good!

Amazing show can’t wait to hear more!

You are so impressive! A similar thing happened to me at LAUSD. How can I contact you? Veronica

Spot on and consistently hitting doubles and triples. Shannon is an exceptional story teller/interviewer/and counselor. The cadence of his voice both puts you at ease and keeps you in the edge of eating more. Seems like just a genuine guy who brightens the world by shining light in what we generally consider to be darker places of the human psyche and condition. Very well done.

I have enjoyed these stories and how Shannon listens and you can tell it’s without judgement. These have been fascinating stories, ESPECIALLY Aileen Rizo!!!! Get it, Girl!

I love this show!

Several years ago I heard your stories on the Moth and loved them. Then I started listening to your homemade stories, and love them too. Now I am listening to the Trouble, and love it just as much. I haven’t really been in enough trouble to warrant me being a guest on your show, but I’ll see what I can do.... Oh no! Let me not even put that out into the universe, I’ll just remain an avid listener.

Must listen to this ep! The most recent episode, “79 cents,” gave me chills because I'm going through something similar with my employer. I’m nervous to broach the subject with my boss of equal pay, but now I’m so inspired by our rockin’ female mathematician! She’s also a mother, sole breadwinner, with a double masters. You go, girl! Never doubt that you are doing right for your girls and the rest of us.

Shannon is an excellent interviewer. Every episode’s topic is captured poignantly with grace and clarity.

Shannon is the most empathetic and lovely host. The OCD episode is among my favorite podcasts ever.

Everyone, everyone gets into a little trouble now and then. Some of us more than others. These stories detail how and why we get there and remind us that none of us are infallible.

I LOVED that first episode so much. Shannon’s vibe is love - his way of laughing at himself and the troubles of others is done in a way that still respects people instead of making them the butt of his joke. More, please. Great stories!

We love this podcast! We want more!bring it on!
