Monster: Hunting the Long Island Serial Killer - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I heard a commercial on the radio for this show when I was on a very long, solo road trip. I decided to give it a whirl, after the first episode I was hooked. I even bought the I ❤️ True Crime+ subscription so I could finish all of the episodes(which is something I rarely do).
Well told, fantastic researching, seamless production, easy to follow and absolutely gripping.
Everything about This podcast definitely made me think twice about my surroundings and had my head on a swivel. There was even a point when I was engrossed in episode 3 where I thought I felt something kick the back of the drivers seat….my stomach sank into my butt and I instantly had that feeling of fear overcome me, not something you want to feel while driving alone, at 3am. 100% recommend, must listen.

Phenomenal recap of the LISK case. Episodes are quick, but they will completely catch you up to everything you need to know about LISK(and everything LISK adjacent too!). Be sure to check out Josh’s channel on YouTube or Patreon (Sinister with Josh Zeman). He is bringing new interviews to talk about updates to the case. He is also releasing full interviews from his tv series The Killing Season.

Would love for Josh to add some new episodes here once the trial starts!

I’ve always connected with Josh’s work. His series The Killing Season, of which some of this content is based, is probably one of the scariest, most well made true crime docs I’ve ever watched, and this one doesn’t disappoint. It dodges the summary and filler info trap so many of these fall into, focusing instead on meticulously peeling back the layers to this case. The series was incredibly well-made, and also tries to stay aware that these were real events with real victims.

If you are a true crime investigator in your spare time you need to listen to this. Josh Zeman is in the Mount Rushmore of documentary film makers I’ve been following for years. This podcast revisits his game changing doc “The Killing Season” with the perspective and commentary after LISK was caught.

All of the ads. So, so many ads. I Heart Radio has so many trashy shows, stripping down interesting true crime stories into bland commercialized corporate events. Add to that the host’s dubious reputation for accuracy and manufacturing sensationalism. I suppose it is up to you if this is what you want

Large amount of advertisements. Many are gambling related. If the content was even half decent I would’ve subscribed, but it’s minimally adequate. Good for those times you’ve listened to the decent podcasts and need something to fill time.
