I just discovered this podcast & I really like it. Their stories are new to me & the narrator’s voice is one of the best I’ve ever heard. The stories are well written & overall it’s excellent!

Excellent podcast. I’m working on becoming a completionist. It’s amazing how many times you can get along well with your neighbors until just one thing goes wrong. Then it snowballs. These stories and interviews are done really well. I’m really enjoying the listen.

Taarna42 · Jul 2026

I watched this series on ID and now w/the podcast, I listen & re-listen. Of all the podcasts that come out, 20/20, 48 Hours, Snapped … if you all have new shows, I’m going to you first no question. Partly the intro really, but also the passion behind violence among neighbors. Out of all my decades of obsessive years of being a true crime audience member, neighbors… more passion than a lover. Hate without love. Day in and day out. Seething resentments. I love you guys ❤️‍🔥🇺🇸

MissBmon · Jul 2026

Episode 1 definitely caught my attention and pulled me in, but there was one glaring issue that annoyed me throughout the episode. Locals repeatedly pronounced the town name of Wilkes-Barre, PA “correctly,” i.e. the way that the locals pronounce it (with a long e on the end.) The narrator insisted on continuing to mispronounce it. This is disrespectful and really distracting as a listener. I want to keep listening and I really want to love this podcast. Please do some basic research on the towns you are visiting before recording for future episodes. These details actually do matter.

SunnyKC12 · Oct 2024

Relies on stilted reenactment audio. Shallow, misleading, and boring. Fear thy Neighbor focuses on a different neighborly dispute micro-story each week. Instead of a rich, in-depth journalistic investigation, each story is told through sub-dateline narration, shallow anecdotes and laughably stilted reenactments I found out about this show from a recommendation at the end of a true crime podcast series that was thorough, moving, and horrifying. I checked out FTN assuming it would share some qualities of the series I just finished. It does not. It is the bottom-of-the-barrel sludge content which a network such as ID must churn out in support of the few reliable moneymakers they might produce here and there. It is simple and intellectually unchallenging. It is what they think of you. Prove them wrong.

Dankass · Sep 2026

The extreme amount of sound effects and voice actors cause make it hard to follow the flow of the STORY. It’s very disjointed. It’s like they took random audio from the TV show, sliced it together, and said let’s just make this a podcast. I couldn’t get through the first episode.
