Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly, and if left unresolved you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.

Perspective and Understanding
Understanding and perspective shifts are essential in our torn and divided country/world right now if we can ever find our way back to unity and healing. Neil is intentional in trying to hear through the ears and see through the eyes of others. Great example of encouraging people to be authentic and know we are all okay as we are, in whatever our shoe size or style is. As a listener, I've been inspired and encouraged. As a guest I felt like we were in miniostry together to bring new perspectives and understanding. Laura L. Padgett, Award-winning author, "Jesus in Shorts" and "Dolores Like the River".

A joy to be a guest on this show
I have been a guest on many shows, podcasts as well as radio. So I know that one never can be sure how an interview will go. Neil did a great job of asking questions and bringing a tough topic of dealing with the broken and shadowy parts of life into a light of hope and healing. He was interested in the topic and in me as a guest. It was a relaxed and authentic experience as he provided a platform for me to share my own hope and healing, which of course is the objective when attempting to reach out and help others recovering from trauma. I will recommend OPS to other people who would like to be on podcasts too as well as people who, like me, enjoy listening to good podcasts. Laura L.

Digging Deep For Our Shadow Stories
I thoroughly enjoyed being a guest on the Other People's Shoes podcast with Neil. It's was tough looking at some of the shadows that I carried for so long, but also rewarding to see where I've come as a result of those very shadows. Neil, you did an outstanding job of interviewing because you made it so conversational. And I love the concept of walking in other people's shoes. Really it's a core part of living an authentic life. Thanks Neil! Chris

Finding the Gold
Neil is a fabulous interviewer because he listens. He finds the gold hidden within your responses to ask the out of the ordinary question. The one he asked me, brought me to tears. The question and my response took our conversation deeper. Our conversation felt as if we'd known each other for years.

Great Podcast
The overall spirit of this podcast is a joyful one. I so enjoy the way Neil weaves his questions in with telling stories and giving his guests the opportunity to speak comfortably in their own story. I highly recommend this for anyone who is interested in truly thinking about what it would be like to walk with a different point of view.

A breath of fresh air!
Neil is super personable, a great host with a wonderful balance of humor and intentionality of deep questions. Truly an enjoyable podcast - take a listen and be changed and encouraged.

Spend more
We all need to spend more time inhabiting the perspectives of others, so I love the focus of this show, and I love Neil's curiosity. I especially appreciated the recent episode about ecumenicalism.

Every person is given a unique life testimony from God, and this show allows the world to hear those stories in a way that God can use to encourage and help other people going through similar situations feel like they aren’t alone.

Shot of Light into the Mind
There are a lot of wonderful podcasts available to listen to but when I find one that is unique and original I have to write about it. Other People's Shoes, Neil Matthews has this rare ability to have you enjoy yourself the entire time, yet come away with nuggets of wisdom that change your life in the happiest ways! You'll love this podcast!

Finding Hidden Gems
Neil doesn’t just get information from his guests. He takes us on a sympathetic journey that allows us to draw from and learn from the lives of others. And where do these gems come from? Our neighbor we haven’t talked to, the stranger behind us at the airport or maybe even the bad driver who cut us off in traffic. Discover these hidden gems and learn something about yourself as well.

Thorough and relevant
Neil has thought of every question and asked it. His podcasts are in-depth, researched well, and highly relevant to life.

Soul and Heart
I appreciate these conversations that help us get out of our own world... and understand the human experience in a better way!

The only show I love on podcast
Neil podcast topics are really good, I really love the way he talks, he is an awesome guy, I’m following him once I started listening to his podcast, it really mind blowing, thanks Neil again for giving me opportunity to take your interview for my Smart Cherrys Thoughts And All Other Channels, looking forward to take an another of yours if you give me your valuable time.

Wisdom from Watson
Great show. Very informative. Neil made the guest feel comfortable to share this difficult subject. Great job creating a safe place for your guest.

Its a YES for me!!
I think its worth a listen, a try, and a chance. I bet youll appreciate his perspective, his voice, and thoughtful narration when you do. Youd be mad that you were one of those folks who didnt want to continue to listen and walk in other peoples shoes.

Why listen? It’s worth it...
Knowing Neil for years, this podcast is the perfect fit! He brings to light real circumstances of life so those who’ve experienced them can be a lighthouse to those who are going through the sea. He helps others get unstuck so they can fly! The experiences shared in each episode are unique to each individual and circumstance, however they are also portrayed in a way that the lister can glean from the conversation as well. He makes it feel like you are in the room with them having a conversation/discussion. Precise with no confusion, pointed questions; grace and understanding with all answers. It’s worth the listen.

Love
I haven’t listened to much of Neil’s pod casts before but I sat down today and listened to one and really like it. I will be listening more often. Nice job bud. Proud of you.

Great people a little long for me.
