Dark Downeast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’m a Boston girl , true crime addict. I was diagnosed with a serious disease this year. I’ve been undergoing chemotherapy and literally this podcast was my go to and still is my go to when I need to distract myself on dark days. Thank you Kylie! Love the content. I love the balance between hearing the hard facts of the case and also the personal memories from the victims family.

True New England crime stories told with respect and not sensationalism. I appreciate the attention to who the victims were in life, and the emphasis on the families and friends affected.

This podcast is the only true crime podcast I can listen to. I can tell a lot of love and effort goes into each episode, I love the sound effects and gentle music that plays through out each episode that always comes in perfect timing. I can feel her sympathies for the victims and doesn’t share what Isn’t necessary in order to leave the victims and the victims family with some dignity. I cry nearly every episode because she sets the scene and tells the their stories so beautifully.

I highly recommend Dark Downeast for a variety of reasons: It’s well researched; it does not reveal a lot of gore; the host Kylie is an excellent communicator who is always well prepared and has a voice and presentation style that is easy to listen to and is not over the top like many other podcasters.

However, Audio Chuck podcasts of which Dark Down East is one, are known for excessive commercials even during short podcasts and unfortunately they load several commercials up front before the podcast even begins. While I’m sure the revenue is good for Ashley Flowers, the podcast owner, it’s not so good for the listener.

I wish Kylie continued success with her podcasts! 👏👏👏👏

I give 5 stars to Kylie and 2 stars to the podcast owner.
