Sword and Scale Nightmares - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As good as sword and scale with a better intro. Each episode is organized, detailed, and recorded/edited well so that I can listen in the car and the road noise doesn’t take away from it. I like that most episodes include the actual recordings from the case’s evidence, it’s why I will always listen to this guy’s podcasts.

The skillful telling of these unthinkable crimes is captivating. Decades ago I became interested in true crime because of my teenage children, maybe I’d learn something to help protect them now it’s more about awareness for my own safety. Good stuff. I became a subscriber today!

Found this by accident.
I’m hooked.
Not too long of a listen, just enough sarcasm from the host.
And oh Host/voice is disarming, sexy in a diff way.

Great cases that aren’t covered by other podcasts and Mike is hilarious. Contrary to some people’s opinion, he doesn’t hate women. The guy has common sense, a brain and is hilarious. And yes, I’m a woman.

I used to be a huge fan of Sword and Scale, but found that I was listening to more audio from interrogations/interviews/media/etc., than the actual narrator, so I decided to end my subscription and deleted the app. It is personally my biggest pet peeve to listen to a podcast and hear more crappy audio from other sources than the narrator. Despite ending the subscription in my Apple account, I was shocked to receive a $19.99 charge from PAYPAL (never used PayPal in my life) at the end of the month for a "super supporter" subscription to Sword and Scale. Now, I'm not at all blaming the host or show for this, I know I was probably being negligent to some terms and conditions, but I was infuriated to be charged this as it was quite literally the last $20 I had in my account. Because it was a debit card, I couldn't even dispute it, and the bank would not accept it as a "fraudulent transaction."
So just be careful when subscribing, and make sure you are aware of where and what your payment method is being stored.

Advertisements pop in multiple times per episode at a different volume than the show. For a project aiming to be consumed before bed/in the dark the ads really should all be at the beginning or at least in only one place. Give the listeners some respect. Would be 5 stars if i could listen to it without having to interact with my phone multiple times (skipping fwd) just to get through an episode.
