Bloody Angola Podcast by Woody Overton & Jim Chapman - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I found this podcast after visiting Angola while in a police academy. Everything is spot on. Woody and Jim are knowledgeable, humorous, and deliver a great show. 10/10 do recommend!

Very entertaining and extremely well researched. It’s interesting to hear from someone with law enforcement experience, guests are always entertaining. Thanks for a great podcast!

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!

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!
