A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

You don’t just get the facts, you get the context around the facts. Chat is well moderated for civility. I especially appreciate the Ad-Free live shows.

GiGi_of_6 · Sep 2026

Josh is so knowledgeable about both sides of the law. He gives honest assessment of cases. He speaks in plain English when discussing complicated law terms. I look forward to new episodes each week. This is absolutely the best show in true crime!

Marie Jubes · Sep 2026

Courtroom Confidential is one of the sharpest true crime podcasts out there. Josh’s experience as a prosecutor and now defense attorney gives a unique look at the legal process and strategy from both sides of the courtroom. There’s never any fluff—he doesn’t just go along with mainstream narratives to satiate the public. He honestly assesses each case based on the law and the evidence. I especially love how the channel includes the audience by continuously answering our questions and covering the cases we most want to hear about.

Lisalobe · Sep 2026

Josh Ritter is a master of the law. He teaches while giving accurate and interesting insight into legal cases and beyond. There’s no other podcast that even comes close to Courtroom Confidential. Well produced, interesting and entertaining.

Dunsul · Sep 2026

Timely coverage of ongoing cases. The host says he spent his first 10 years of his career as a prosecutor before going into private practice as a defense attorney. It seems like he’s doing more. Podcast than defense, he definitely has prosecution take on everything, maybe changed practice but still has a heart of a prosecutor —which is fine, but he presents himself as looking at everything from both sides and that’s not really accurate. His personal bias is prevalent in his commentary.
