American Shadows - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I can’t explain it, but her voice stirs so much emotion in me. I don’t think I’ve ever cried because of a podcast, but she managed to pull ALL the emotion from these tragedies that happened decades ago. If I could give this 10 stars I would.

I cried all the way through “Under The Weather”. My cat looked at me like I was insane. I looked at me like I was insane.

I hope Willis Moore is living the eternity he deserves. 👏🏻🙅🏻‍♀️🔥

The concept is good and I keep listening, but as others have pointed out, fact checking is needed. Part of fact checking is checking for correct pronunciation. This is an issue across Grim and Mild podcasts but this one is pretty egregious. I think the host could have a great voice for a podcast if she didn’t sound so forced. For example, when saying the word “but” to transition, she says, “uhbut.” I doubt she naturally speaks this way. A more conversational and natural cadence would be preferred. All these things are pretty distracting. However, the people complaining about politics are disappointing. Who knew historical facts about some groups of people being marginalized was political? Pretending this stuff didn’t happen does nobody any good.

Just wanted to tell y’all that ‘queer ‘ is a very charged word in the LGB and TQIA+ communities. The TQIA+ side mostly embrace it. Us LGB folks of a certain age generally don’t but SOME of the younger folks do— it really depends. So if you mean Gay, say Gay. Otherwise it’s borderline insulting and definitely confusing.
Thank you for the podcast!

Your show has it all, suspense, irony, humor, the dark, and the light, and on top of all of that it’s true history! I have enjoyed and looked forward to listening to the show since day one, and you will be sorely missed! I am heartbroken to see you go. Wishing you much success on your next venture.

Content is good, but the host is trying so hard to sound like Phoebe Judge from ‘Criminal’ that it’s almost unlistenable. Please just use your natural speaking voice! From the breathiness to the intonation, to the pronunciation of certain words, this awful voice impression of Phoebe ruins the whole podcast. So irritating.
