Lost Hills: Dark Canyon - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is so well done, and there are so many amazing interviews that the listener gets very vivid images of the characters. The creator is not just a master sleuth, but also an amazing psychological profiler. This is one of my all-time favorite podcasts, and I’ve listened to every episode of every season. Hope there are more to come!

Season 4 is beautifully written and edited, I felt I was there with the journalist, not only I was able to feel present during the meetings, the interviews, the crawling through the canyon, but also every time she thought of a connection or a detail and how to pursue a hunch… Definitely a must listen!

Thank you for your in depth reporting on Surf Culture icons of the past. I really enjoyed learning more about Kathy Kohner-Zuckerman. Surfing culture has some very dark sides by exposing the truths of some icons of the past we can hopefully move into a more inclusive culture.

Dana and her crew spent so much time and were dogged in tracking down leads and people who knew people. I remember the case, as I reside in Calabasas and live down the street from the Lost Hills Sheriff Station, so I had an extra layer of interest, but everyone will find this interesting and intriguing and well told.

The ads way outweigh what ends up to be a only a few minutes of actual content in the latest *20 minute* episode of what is said to be an (ultimately underwhelming) update in the case. This overly commercialized podcast lost it’s purpose and listen ability.

It pains me to give this podcast two stars. However, the background music is not only unnecessary but really annoying; at times cloying and others manipulative. These narrators are too excellent for this gimmick and I think the production person who made this decision dropped the ball.
