I Survived the Dot Dot Dot Podcast

Hello my name is Ralph Reyes and I am the host of the “I Survived the DOTDOTDOT podcast”. I am looking forward to sharing my struggles and achievements after attending the Route 91 Las Vegas Shooting. The purpose of this podcast is to give people who have survived or lived through tragic events a platform to share their stories. This may include mass shootings, drug and alcohol abuse, cancer, homelessness, or other life-changing events. My goal is for our guests to share their personal stories from a survivor’s point of view in hopes that it can motivate anyone who may have suffered a similar life event and to help others understand the struggles some of us have faced.
