What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This is the most factual and well researched podcast of its kind. The hosts have a passion for accuracy and give deference to the victims. The show is not limited to crimes only in the US either. Great narration and psychological insight too.

M D McDaniel · Dec 2024

I have to say, I’m a bit odd so it is hard for me to breach out into new things, especially podcasts. I don’t know what possessed me to listen to a full episode, but after that I was hooked. I am absolutely shocked this podcast is not on or near the top ten. The production is better than the most popular show/network, and the scripts I think are way more clever. I still listen to those other shows, but there is now way I’m taking this one out my routine any time soon. PS: And weirdly, the hosts look like they sound!

Jack Shaffer · Dec 2024

This podcast covers stories and people I’ve never heard about before since they go way back in time, sometimes centuries, which are some of my favorite episodes. Others are some common that I don’t bother to listen. The stories are clear and engaging. However, the dialogue is way too scripted and often feels fake and inauthentic, especially when guests are on and you can hear how awkward the conversation transitions are. I’d recommend a more natural storytelling style.

Yelaheener · Sep 2024

I’ve been listing to this podcast since about 2018, and the show has only improved since that first fantastic episode. The narration and storytelling is by far some of the best work I’ve listened to. Keep up the good work!

JustBeCause:) · Aug 2024

You won’t find a more professionally sounding presentation on true crime than this one. But also you won’t find a less credible presentation. If you listen closely you will find a barrage of unchecked assumptions that are declared as fact and the tone in which they are presented is easily mistaken as fact. The complaint here is: if you’re going to present true crime cases you have to remember and honor the first word in the phrase. Hard pass.

Chase Burner · Oct 2024

The Chris Watts’ episodes were incredibly hard to listen to because of how much empathy/understanding was put on Chris, but not any of his victims. Gross and in poor taste.
