Direct Appeal - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This has become my favorite crime podcast! Well documented. Educational. Entertaining. The hosts do an amazing job of explaining the case while given a legal analysis in layman’s terms. Excited for a season three.

The deep dive style of podcast is great and I’m thrilled Ryan Widmer is getting some new coverage of his case and his trials. I will continue to listen, but the number of times the hosts say “you know” to each other while they talk and share the story is so distracting that it detracts from the overall point of this podcast. It was happening so often in the 3rd episode that I couldn’t keep count.

I had not heard of this case prior - and it really captured my attention! I love listening to these 2 hosts and hear them explain certain things in the legal system that I just don't know. I don't think they are being biased just truly listening to what happened and basing an opinion on that. There was absolutely tunnel vision in this case and he was not given a fair trial. I can't understand how he was convicted in 2 trials because there is so much reasonable doubt IMO! 911 calls and facial expressions do NOT equal guilt.

I listen to every podcast you make. Direct appeal is easily my favorite. I was super surprised at some of the bad reviews? If you want to hear two incredibly educated and passionate women speak this is the show for you. They blow every crime podcast out of the water.
