A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is one of my favorite! I’ve been listening to them from the start and I love all the details given by Leah! Scott is a valuable speaker on the show as well, I was upset to read a previous review saying he has nothing to add (smh). I enjoy the team of Leah & Scott, truly!! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to bringing all the missing people attention and support in hopes to bringing them home someday to their loved ones. The work you both do is incredible 🙏 God Bless

I’m an addictive podcast listener. I stumbled upon your podcast when it was mentioned on another popular podcast. I’m struck by a previous reviewer who said Scott doesn’t bring anything to the show is not accurate. There is a terrific balance of emotion,speculation, and realism that can’t be overlooked. Any new listeners go to the episode of Shelley Sikes to start your journey with this podcast. It’s impossible to not feel every emotion that came from both podcasters. Thank you for your hard work. This is absolutely worth every minute of my time.

I just came across this podcast last year. I love Leah’s soft, calming voice. I think Scott is funny and adds just enough to the podcast to keep me entertained (as much as one can be when regarding horrific crimes). This is actually my second favorite crime podcast. Keep up the great work Leah and Scott!

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts yes a lot! I listen to the most streamed and most popular true crime podcasts. You know them. Last Seen Alive is a podcast that I do not miss. Listening to Scott and Leah’s caring voices and heartfelt comments pull me into each episode and then I care, too . I love the cases they choose, and the research they do, the expertise that Leah brings, the quality of podcast Scott engineers and the music and everything. I always listen in hopes I can help. If you have a limited time, I would highly recommend you listen to Last Seen Alive. You will not regret it.
