    Raven
    Raven is a masterfully filmed, moving story of a man that has raised up our notion of human capacity and possibilities. Truly an exceptional podcast. Each episode brings another impressive piece of this man’s life journey. A must see.

    Running from someone who stole my song!
    It’s certainly relatable to anyone who runs. And to anyone who knows a runner!i know quite a few. Some are recovering alcoholics or drug addicts, others had a less then desirable home life, well Raven had someone steal his song. It's a story about what a runner is running away from. We all could use insight into that. He was a songwriter and felt someone stole his song. It’s learning to cope with life. There is everything good about exercising and creating. Anyway to get to life’s fulfillment.

    Love this!
    As a runner, I celebrate this inspiring man and the message of how simply moving can be so healing to the human spirit and a vehicle to connect with the environment around you and with others. A much needed positive message at this time. Great job!

    Good podcast
    I enjoyed this podcast It was sad and heartfelt in the approach While some of the Ravens life was like a vagabond in so many ways the history of his difficult childhood was typical But the knowledge that he could develop the running club with his “savant like”recall of his runners over the years showed the resilience of the human spirit and emotional intelligence at its best I had heard about him on a tv show and this look was very interesting! Good job all and thank you

    Fascinating story
    This is a fascinating story about an interesting character. It’s always intriguing to see what brings someone to do what they do.

    What happens to Raven
    Want to know more. I enjoyed this podcast The use of news clips and events really brought the listener in what Raven must have experienced. Unfortunately the telling of Raven’s story stopped , but Raven is in his seventies. So what happens to get him to where we are first introduced to him? What is next?

    Inspiring & Thought Provoking
    Moving, Inspirational, reflective are just a few of the adjectives that describe this podcast. As I listened to each episode (to date) I cannot help but contemplate on the deeper significance of the power of perspective and how we choose to see our circumstances and upbringing will either bring us into living better or bitter. It isn’t just what events happen to individuals but how they shape our choices. Either we rise up or fall hard. Raven’s story is not only a reminder of this truth but an example of the power and strength of the human spirit.

    Captivating and inspiring
    I don’t usually write reviews because sometimes with podcasts I zone out while I work, however, this story drew me in and felt compelled to share my experience. It’s motivating, I want to be more like Raven - drive, passion and inspire others. I don’t want to give anything away go listen!

    The Raven
    I have listened only to the first podcast. I will do my best to listen to the second one. Overall I thought it was creative and interesting. Everyone has a story to tell and the producers chose a man who many in Florida were familiar with. The Raven is now introduced to everyone. The Raven’s story is captivating. He did not have a great early childhood but really made the most of what he was given. He has a wonderful philosophy about life that I wish other more unfortunate people would adopt. I feel like I have been invited into The Raven’s life. The pace of the podcast is perfect as is the narrator. I do look forward to hearing more about the Raven. His voice does remind me of Leonard Cohen and perhaps his philosophy as well. So many times we look askance at people different from us. In reality none of us are different and we are all connected. The Raven is showing us this. More later!!

    Nothing happens
    What just happened? NOTHING. Why and to whom is this interesting? A guy hoards stuff, cuts his finger, sings terribly, is let down by people,

    Raven
    Not quitting no matter what!! Running eight miles 17,000days in a row…just wow! Fascinating first episode about Raven’s childhood. Interesting short history on Cuba and how Castro came to power and that impact on Miami, Florida. Father/son dynamics played a big role in Raven’s life. Looking forward to next episode.
