Storytelling that inspires
Listen to this podcast, it will move you! Why not meet your neighbors as well, if you haven‘t already.
Excellent Pocast
I live outside Los Angeles but found this Podcast through the NPROne app. I would love to hear similar neighbor stories from around myself and other communities. I started with “Matt Got Shot” (ep 1 obviously). It was fantastic. I never expected the third episode to go the way it did. I thought it would still be about Matt / his recovery. I actually got upset when ep 2 ended and I realized I’d have to wait a whole week before the next segment.
Perfect for our time
I love the very premise of this podcast and the writing and production is great. I particularly loved the 3-part Matt Got Shot.
So happy I found this
This storytelling podcast is expertly crafted. I don't live anywhere near Nashville and I absolutely love listening to Jacob's stories. This is one of my all time favorite storytelling podcasts.
Three please
Heard 1 & 2 on NPR One. Great story. Hope Matt is doing well.
Very close up
Matt Got Shot is fantastic - it's like pulling in to an impact crater.
Great, nuanced look at healing
The Matt Got Shot series is great. A family member was involved in a knife attack a few years ago, and this series has been really useful to me in understanding the contours of healing from trauma— how different that process can be for different people. Great pacing and respect for the subject matter.
Excellent storytelling
I love this podcast so much. I think the concept is so simple and interesting. I’ve even considered moving to Nashville to to be able to attend events
Excellent first episode!
Insightful, honest, compassionate story telling.
Outstanding
The New Mr. Rogers, Jakob paints pictures with words—which is great for me on my commute. His show brings an uplifting spirit to my day, through his commitment to sharing stories of triumph and humanness. It’s the simple way in which the podcast is delivered that will suit a lot of styles and tastes—but it’s Jakob that makes it special. He really wants to be your neighbor, no matter how far you are.
Matt Got Shot
Just heard this on NPR one, amazing storytelling and production.
incredibly moving; spot on relevant
Just listened to the first episode and was moved enough to write a review, which I don't usually do. So well done, so real, so emotionally striking--I can't wait for the next episode, and will subcribe. I live in the far north, have never been to Nashville, but this powerful storytelling is a window into all communities, and wakes us up.
A New Listener
Stories told with deep empathy
Hi Neighbor!
I was originally drawn to this podcast because of the connection with Nashville — one of my favorite cities to visit and home to an ever-growing circle of friends, but this show ower little to place. It is about community and humanity, and that pertains to us all. So well conceived and executed.
Stories worth sharing
Recently moved from Nashville and this podcast brings me home each day. The serious is well worth the listen and the support.

This show has taught be that honest, gripping and impactful stories are not far away. The episode about the trainer was terrific. Good reporting, and good challenge to listeners.
Thankful for this
Found this thru the NPROne app. What a blessing to have Jakob telling stories of people that live in my city!
One of the best podcasts out there
Neighbors has a great focus and production style. It's one of my favroites that I return to again and again.
Inspirational and Special
Neighbors teaches the Nashville community about getting to know the people around us. I love getting to know the people in Nashville, TN through the podcast. I believe this is a truly special podcast to pay attention to.
Particular stories, universal hope
Jakob and team choose subjects who have stories that remind us of what is good in our world and the unexpected places we find these signs of reassurance in our fragile yet precious world.
Wonderful way to learn more about what’s going on in your community
Nice to hear some uplifting and interesting stories about folks in the community. Lots of stuff you’d never hear about otherwise
Uplifting
I look to Neighbors for a guaranteed dose of positivity in my day. Each uplifting story reminds me that seemingly ordinary individuals are in indeed EXTRAORDINARY. Thanks Jakob for your thoughtful narration and for being a great Neighbor to the folks of Nashville! I feel a call to do the same.
Wow
Well told stories about those we may pass by each day. The world is full of real humans, some needing help some helping but all with a story worth hearing.
A thoughtful voice
Neighbors lets the story tell itself, without presuming to moralize or condescendingly pronounce a "lesson." Solid production and continued growth throughout the team. Love it!
