Invisible Choir - Podcast Rankings and reviews

*Invisible Choir* is an incredible podcast that I can’t recommend enough. Michael’s voice is soothing yet powerful, and his insights into the cases he covers are both thoughtful and eye-opening. As someone who practices psychiatry at a county jail, I’ve come across a few cases Michael has discussed involving my own patients/inmates. It’s always fascinating to hear an outsider’s perspective on cases I know firsthand, and Michael handles each story with care and integrity.

I especially appreciated his honesty about BetterHelp—his transparency was refreshing and rare in today’s podcast landscape. Michael, keep doing what you’re doing! Your work makes my long drives so much more engaging, and I look forward to every new episode.

In a crowded field of mostly mediocre true crime podcasts, this one stands out for lesser-known stories told with sensitivity and well researched. I don’t see the left wing bias some people mention, and I am quite conservative. I’d say there is little to no political commentary, which is why I enjoy it.

I absolutely love this podcast (thus my 5-star review). I was incredibly disappointed by the way Carly’s clear mental health issues were seemingly dismissed by the courts. For 1) a diagnosis of bipolar does not always strictly follow what is outlined in the DSM-5, there is a concept of mixed episodes where a bipolar person can rapidly cycle through mania and depression and 2) the prosecution all but admitted that Carly was more likely to have a diagnosis of borderline based on her description of disassociation (which please tell me you can hold a child accountable for “accurately” describing your interpretation of disassociation), rapid mood swings, and self harm behavior. I am glad you shared this story bc it sheds light on how overlooked mental health is in this country. I just wish there had been more thought into the commentary around the prosecutions testimony on Carly’s mental health.

I just started podcasts this summer and only listen to true crime. I subscribed to this one because I enjoy listening to the host. Many of the episodes have touched me deeply and I appreciate the respect shown to the victims and the truth. A couple of my favorites are the episodes about Ryan Waller, Emily Noble and Sgt. Matt Ratana. Keep up the great investigating and storytelling.

I have been a listener of Invisible Choir for some time and have appreciated the podcast’s ability to shine a light on dark and complicated stories. However, I was deeply disappointed by what I perceive as a troubling inconsistency in the presenter’s approach to discussing crimes across different racial groups.

In one episode, the presenter appeared to condemn members of one race for their actions while, in another, seemed to excuse or rationalize equally heinous crimes committed by individuals of a different race. This double standard is deeply unsettling, as it undermines the podcast’s credibility and fairness. Crime is crime, and justice should be applied equally, regardless of the perpetrator’s background.

I listen to true crime podcasts for insightful, unbiased storytelling—not to hear selective moralizing that seems to shift based on race. I hope the creators reflect on this issue and strive for more balanced narratives in the future.
