Unseen - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been looking for my next favorite true crime podcast for a while. This one is it. It holds my attention and focuses on the experience of the victim rather than what the perpetrator did. I also really love how respectful the host is regarding assault. He doesn’t share any specific details in order to protect the privacy of the victims. Well done!

I listen to podcasts all day/every day and it seems like I’ve finished all of the best shows and have been craving something new. All I can say is that after hearing the first episode of this show I am hooked (literally I got the chills)!! Thank you for the fresh take on true crime and for lifting up the survivors as you do. Can’t wait to keep listening!

I have been a long-time listener of pod for at least a decade now. I was early on the bus! I have definitely given less than 10 5-star reviews. I believe they should be saved for the best of the best, and that’s what I’ve discovered here. The production (which is SO important) is top notch. Let’s face it, anyone named “Earl from a fort made of tree branches” can wrangle up a mic and talk about true crime. The production makes all the diff. This show takes each case serious and they do their homework. Every episode is presented perfectly with the story being told simply, and with lots of real police interview audio. Always a huge plus! Also…

No podcast has ever told the story with so much of the victim’s family in mind in a way that has left me literally cursing in my truck, punching the steering wheel and wishing I could spend 5mins alone with the perp myself!!! The episodes are told so well that I’m left most times LIVID at what sorts of garbage are walking are streets! Great show. So glad I discovered it. Wish there were more! Also I hope the episodes are a little longer in the future. That would be a big plus. I just can’t believe how many horrendous true crime shows are out there now. Even the ones that I used to like seemingly have run out of material or something because I’m not as excited for them like I used to be. But there’s a few that still put the puck in the net! Here’s one right here! Best of the best to u guys!

The content is good with some cases I have not heard of instead of recycling more famous cases. The music however is extremely distracting to me, it is tense and building the entire time and/or way over the top during many moments. It really distracts from the stories they are being told and at times seems to cheapen the storytelling which is unfortunate. The cases don’t need the additional drama the music adds. I still listen but they are podcasts I can’t do more than 1 or 2 of in a row.
