Thanks for telling harsh realities in a way that is easy for us to take in

Greetings Shannon I love listening to podcasts. Shamefully, I have never submitted a review until now. The authenticity of your storytelling so moved me that I was compelled to write this review to let you know how much I appreciate your podcast. You have inspired me to continue my podcast by simply being myself. Thanks again for your genuine storytelling as it’s heartwarming & encouraging. When I am in position to do so I plan to express my gratitude monetarily, however, I will make sure to give you a shout out once I launch my little podcast The Cocoa Butter PODcast, especially since I am from ChiTown & that will be my base audience. Thank you SO much for your contribution & sharing The Gift of You, with us. InJOY Darla Stewart P.S. I use the same strategy with the Starbucks coffee 😂 but for free99 by asking for a cup of hot water & then from my box of Passion Tazo Tea I purchased from Walmart, for the same price as one cup of tea from Starbucks, I drop my Tazo tea bag in my free99 Starbucks cup of hot water & sit down & say, welcome to my office! Blessings 😇

I happen to stumble across this podcast and I must say this cat is legit. His stories grab you and he is very descriptive. Also the music he plays (intro/outro) are always hot. Shannon makes you think back to times of the past and he even sparked me to start writing. Thanks Shannon… “Wear more suits” SDC

I love Shannon. He’s a great storyteller, but the problem is we’ve been down this road before. I really, really want him to succeed so I am hopeful this version of his show takes off!

Dear Shannon, you’re always the best company. Thank you for that. Thank you for being real, and for remembering to weave in the loose ends. Always an enjoyable, creative, relaxing listen. Only wish there were more episodes. Keep up the good work, best wishes to you and your family.

I’m liking this because Shannon’s a fellow Spartan, but also his stories are relatable and funny. You never know when they’re going to drop, but it’s always worth the wait.

Such real stories told well, and with a good sense of humor. Every story is so relatable and good to listen to.

Shannon Cason brings authenticity and relatable stories that will entertain and reinforce the fact that even in our differences we are all on this ride through life together. Thank you for being real and for making me laugh.

I really enjoyed this story! I must admit, between the title and Oochie Wally playing in the background I was a lil nervous. 😂 But this story was incredibly heartwarming (and lowkey wholesome). I don’t often hear stories centered around fatherhood told in this way. Definitely going to continue listening 💦

I’m listening to Hot Daddy Summer and laughing like a maniac at 11 in the morning sitting outside Departures at SFO. I just love the way Shannon tells stories. He’s such a relaxed and funny and genuine host, with hilarious, witty, and astute observations - I don’t know that this is one of them, but it DEF made me laugh: “Women with Androids typically have messy bathrooms!” It’s a pleasure to spend time “with” Shannon in my ears! Guiding me through the landscape of his tales. Keeping me company while I wait for a Lyft. I was so impressed with his hosting skills, I had to reach out the tell him, even before I finished the episode. 👏 👏 👏 Great work, Shannon!

I’ve been listening to Shannon for over 10 years. I think I heard him either on the Moth or Snap Judgement first and have been following Homemade Stories ever since. Thanks for always being real Shannon!

discovered this pod years ago after seeing Shannon live with Snap Judgment. One of the best story tellers doing this! Subscribe now

I was introduced to this podcast via Snap Judgement, and it has now become my new favorite(don’t tell Glen Washington lol). Shannon, you have the skills to pay the bills, and hopefully, I’ll get to see you live one of these days. -Will M. from Dunn, NC

One of my top 5 favorite podcasts! So GOOD!! Every single episode.♥️

I love hearing Shannon’s stories from his point of view. I love his laugh. Sounds a little sneaky. Glad he’s back for for homemade stories!

Shannon is the best storyteller. Great podcast!

I’m a middle class white lady in Kentucky who grew up in the 80’s. I love this guy. I love his voice. I love his regular guy stories. His screwed up life is just life stories. His family stories. I just love you, Shannon.

Found on moth podcast. Good story telling.

This is such an honest and real and well written show that I get shivers when I listen

I really love this podcast! I recently stumbled upon it during a drive on my local NPR station. Just enjoyed Shannon's perspective and how he illuminates everyday life is a real and cool way.

Shannon is the truth, he tells it just like he sees it. No sugar coating. I especially love his family stories.

You ALWAYS make me laugh. I admire your willingness to be unabashedly and brutally honest

Your stories are straight up funny! Thanks for the laughs!

I loved your story about your mom. Your show is really well done! You’re truly a talented raconteur.

Awesome time spent with your stories. Thanks and hope they keep coming. Referred from Snapped Judgement.

I really love hearing Shannon’s Homemade Stories. I like to hear his take on issues and to hear about his life experiences. I dropped off for a bit cause my phone can’t hold as many podcasts as it used to but I’m back and catching up now. This newest episode about his top five hip hop artists got me hooked back in.

I started listening to your stories after hearing you on snap judgment. I think you have a unique style of story telling. My favorite so far is The X in the Sebring. I was driving home and I’m thought I would have an accident because I was laughing so hard. Another thing is your stories relate to my life growing up and I feel like culturally black people are the same no matter where we’re raised. Finally listening to your stories is helping me find my voice and write things down. Keep doing your thing. Tracey

Shannon’s stories have an authentic, genuine and common touch to them. Some serious, some funny, all heartfelt! Keep me coming Mr. Cason!

Shannon keeps it real.

Love Shannon’s genuineness, creativity, and the way his stories are always wrapped in the context of his real life. Thanks Shannon, you’re a gift!

Love his stories. They’re funny, sad, and they make you feel like you’re not alone in this world. You’re a gifted story teller; keep making us smile!

I have loved him since the 1st Snap story. The way he tells the story, I drift away and become part of the story.

Shannon's stories make me think, laugh, cry, and feel connected to others. Keep doing what you are diong!

Shannon, your stories keep me thinking, guessing, laughing, and definitely listening. The depth of your scenarios give us the purest insight to your thoughts and actions. Thank you for being transparent at all times.

Shannon brings a special thing to these stories. No two are the same. Some are funny, some are sad and then some are just Wow! Beer speaks people mumble (Lagunitas) but you won’t hear Shannon mumble. Rather you will hear the heart and soul and life told in a way that will captivate and provide a driveway moment to remember. Thank you for your work.

Casual, riveting stories. A real gem. Excited for more episodes!

I started listening to Shanon after spotting him on an episode of the Moth! I haven’t missed an episode of any of his work since. He’ a natural and makes his work seem effortless. When he’s in NY at B & H Photo., I’m always there to listen to more stories! If you love to listen, then Homemade stories will be music to your ears!

Shannon’s stories combine genuine raw experience with a chilled out understanding that can only come from a lifetime of conversations with strangers. Listening to his voice is relaxing, even when the stories themselves are raw or tense. Homemade Stories is like having a great conversation at the bar with the only friendly local in a new town. Give it a listen.

I recently came up on the podcast and have been listening everyday on my commute to and from work. This was my first storytelling podcast I listened to and I love it! I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty. Look forward to more seasons!

Loved the direct “from my head to your ears” style. Music and sound are seamlessly woven with great storytelling!

Original fun stories delivered with a soothing calm voice. Just perfect.

You know people have a way of making the best when things are not going so well. I’ve been listening to your stories for a month now. During work I listen to you to keep away from the drama and office gossip... I even catch myself smiling and laughing out loud. I have my whole office thinking what’s going on with her??? Thank you Shannon thank you for being the reason why I’m smiling right now.

Super captivating, I love Shannon’s stories!

Great stories, skillfully & authentically told. More of this, please!

Always hitting it out of the park. Great Job Shannon. Keep ‘em coming. 😎

Love Shannon! He has a very real way with spoken word. Would love to share a drink with him!

What I enjoy about this show is that Shannon holds no punches. He lays it all on the line and tells it like it is. I relate to his stories as our backgrounds are somewhat similar and the manner in which he conveys his stories can only be described as raw candidness. I listen every day and hope he continues to be successful with this podcast. Give it a try. You won’t be disappointed.

I’m hooked! I really appreciate the honesty and insights. Thank you and keep writing and podcasting!!

This show is worth checking out. I love the stories and I love the honesty.
