What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I have recently learned of this podcast a couple weeks ago and have been hooked ever since! I brought my family to the Angola Rodeo this past spring and have wanted to learn the history of Angola ever since and this podcast is exactly what I wanted to find!! Great show and even better info in each episode! I’ve only had a chance to listen to a handful of episodes so far but the episode “The Real Dead Man Walking” is my favorite so far. Having watched the movie and then listening to the actual events that unfolded was mind blowing!! Anyways, if you’re looking for a podcast with dark history to an indeed dark historical prison then this one if for you!!

#1 Saints fan!!! · Jul 2024

I recently went to the Angola Rodeo and fell down the rabbit hole of Angola and its dark history. Something about Angola is so mysterious and intriguing… Driving through the gates put me on edge even though the drive past the gates to the arena is gorgeous. While walking around and being surrounded by unrestrained inmates in the arts and crafts section, I bought a few things. I had nothing but pleasant and respectful interactions with the inmates and decided to search their names from my craft tickets to see what they had done and how they ended up in Angola… All I can say is WOW. I read several court documents that described the crimes they had committed… I was within arms reach of many lifers w/o parole and purchased several items from them… The thought of them murdering people years prior was more of an afterthought than an initial perception. I am not sure what I was expecting their crimes to be, but I can tell you that if I had come into contact with them in any other setting outside of Angola, I would presume them to be normal individuals without a dark past. That drove me even further down the rabbit hole. I then came across this podcast through my search and have listened to an episode/watched the youtube version every chance I get since. On my way to and from work, on my daily walks with my dogs, and when I am cleaning my house I have it on. I am so happy to see that you guys are still producing more episodes and cannot wait to get further into it! 10/10 recommend for anyone considering it!

Started with real life real crime and than they mentioned this one. Found myself making excuses to listen to it instead of my tv. Like a book you can’t put down. You can tell the effort they put into the information and not exaggerating for views just the facts.

Jim your voice is very calming. I generally have a hard time sleeping and your voice just lulled me to sleep. Lol. Probably not what your aiming for, but there you have it. I have repeated recommended your podcasts to friends. Keep doing what your doing gentlemen, your rocking it!
