What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I look forward to Fridays every week to listen! Being from the PNW myself and also working in LE, I deeply appreciate their style of storytelling. I just wish there were more episodes and less breaks in between seasons…

luvJesus23 · Dec 2024

I listened to this podcast for a few years. The stories are compelling and well presented. But recently, especially current season, WAY too many ads. And no Patreon option to avoid them. So they’re way down on my list. I’ll pay $$ to avoid annoying ads.

BagLadyPA · Nov 2024

*Small Town Dicks* is an absolute gem of a podcast. As someone who works in corrections practicing forensic psychiatry, I’ve found this show to be both insightful and incredibly moving. It offers an authentic perspective from detectives, showcasing the hard work and dedication it takes to bring individuals to justice. Listening to their stories has given me a deeper appreciation for the teams outside of my correction facility’s walls and their essential role in the justice system. Yeardley’s thoughtful and compassionate questions are a highlight, and Paul’s insight adds so much depth to each episode. There have been many moments where I’ve found myself crying alongside the detectives and Yeardley because the emotions are so raw and real. Detective Matt is hands down my favorite. His honesty, emotional growth, and authenticity shine in every episode he’s part of—he’s a true superhero. I also deeply respect how the detectives share their emotional journeys, which gives me an even greater appreciation for the incredibly difficult work they do. The cases are compelling, the storytelling is engaging, and the team does an outstanding job of handling these stories with care and respect for all involved. Whether you’re in the field or just love true crime, *Small Town Dicks* is a must-listen. PS: Yeardley, don’t let the critics deter you—your voice has become one of the most iconic in television history. It's clear that their negativity stems from focusing on trivialities rather than appreciating your valuable contributions. I’ve been a fan of the podcast for years and recognized your distinctive voice right away. Please continue asking insightful questions and sharing your perspective—it’s part of what makes the show so engaging and memorable.

Doc I.C. · Nov 2024

Every episode is interesting, informative and passionate. Plus there is something about all the usual suspects’ voices that just makes me want to listen, like talking with good friends. No one is laying it on thick, they’re just honest and real. Please keep up the great work! From a long time listener.
