Good context, but the reenactments are sooo corny

I think the stories are good but the terrible acting & sound affects make it hard to listen to.
chel1102 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/24
The recreations are over the top. Listening to several straight minutes of screaming and grunting from an actress recreating being assaulted is just gratuitous. It wrecks the entire podcast.

Really cool mad stories, I like the acting out the story element, but I hate it when there’s like 5 minutes straight of someone screaming or getting violently raped. Over the top and unecessary and I always skip these bits

They should stick to just telling the stories. The re-enactments are confusing. You’ll be listening and engaged in the story, and all of a sudden some random lines come at you from an amateur voice actor in first person. This happens every 30-90 seconds. On top of that, the “background”...Read full review »

Listen screaming for no reason hurts our ears. It’s a podcast. Most of us listen with headphones. TV success doesn’t translate to podcast success.
Nikkicole427 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
The stories are compelling. I am enjoying this podcast. But please stop the voice overs, especially the screaming.

I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and what makes me LOVE this one is they have VERY talented actors playing out each story. It’s not cheesy and actually makes this way more captivating. It’s like an audio book, but with way more excitement and talent. I always anxiously await the next...Read full review »

given that these are true stories, the (melo)dramatic retelling gives me the ick.

I listen to other crime podcast! Get super excited when I receive notification of new episodes.
Lavany22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/24
…much distracting music! Difficult to hear over it! Over produced! Relax yall! Tell the story!!
FNOMINL via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/17/24
This podcast is in the top tier of crime podcasts, the production quality is unmatched. The episodes do a great job of getting content from both relatives and investigators. In addition to the interviews, they even have voice re-enactments throughout. No chatty gossiping hosts giving inane and...Read full review »
DeAndre Fletcher-Marquez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/24
The female actor who portrays everyone on this podcast breathes SO heavy in every reenactment in every episode. It’s disarming, triggering and overdone. Sometimes I’ve gone and listened to other podcasts cover the same case and the emotions do not match. One survivor, Brandi Hicks, said she...Read full review »

The recreation of horrific screaming in fear and ugly mouthed abusers is just unnecessary.it doesn’t add to the story.
Greetings from Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/17/24
You feel the fear, anger & healing through the stories. I highly recommend it but be prepared to rage against the evil parts of humanity.
Nav Saint via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/24
I like the stories, but the voice acting (especially in long, drawn-out death or rape scenes) is disturbing, unnecessary, and gratuitous.
Rynners via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/29/23
This is my favorite podcast out of all the podcasts I listen to! The way the stories are told makes it so enjoyable
Dasie3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/23
These are episodes from four different TV series that air on ID, so there’s a narrator and actors. This is not a typical podcast with a host/opinions, etc. I think it’s a nice break from the typical podcast format. I know the stories can be hard to listen to at times but these are real life...Read full review »

I listen to a lot of podcasts but I have never came across one like this it’s amazing it’s surrounds you it’s so amazing makes my work day go faster
alinmyhead via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/23
The background sounds are too loud and grating. I give up.
Krissie Scribbles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/23
Incredible! I have dozens and dozens of True Crime Podcasts and this one instantly became my favorite! Amazing Actors and Actresses! The well thought out Re-Inactments immediately puts you inside the scene as if you were personally there! I simply LOVE every single Epidode
SheDrivesZ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/23
So this is a really good and immersive podcast. I love the voice actors, but sometimes it can be a bit too much.
Jochs3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/23
I like the content in terms of the stories and the narrator but the acting really drags the stories out. Also it’s weird listening to people getting raped and begging and breathing heavily. I feel to make it more adaptable as a podcast, leave out the acting. Sometimes it even sounds like the...Read full review »

I love the short detailed stories. Great listen.
Souljoi via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/23
Pathetic and disgusting attempt to cover up black on white crime. The voice overs were white and the criminal animals were black. It’s a pathetic attempt to cover up the fact that 14-40 year old black males account for a tiny 3.5% of USA population, yet they commit well over 50% of all rapes,...Read full review »

If this podcast doesn’t save a substantial amount of lives then I’d be shocked. These scenarios are ones we can all relate to. We’ve all been in these same situations of going about life without a care. Mommas, your daughters need to hear these stories.
BlueBottleGirl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/23
I hate the reenactment of the attack. If it’s used to tell the story I think it’s ok, but why do the part of the attack?? The screaming of the victims…..what is this? Food for sadists? I don’t understand it. I love the stories, I absolutly hate that part
P.Neves via Apple Podcasts · Portugal · 09/10/23
I was so intrigued and trying to put my finger on it then I realized hello what’s actually going on is this is an entire new delivery and style and so far so good I really listen to A bunch of true crime and I really can’t think of another show that has this style and I love it ! They make it...Read full review »
Ana Savana via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/23
I absolutely do not want to hear the torture, rape, and murder people go through. The screaming and cries of distress are unbearable. This could have been a great podcast if they stuck to the story telling and cut the reenactment. I wanted to hear survivors tell their stories, not bear witness to...Read full review »
Lionsayyy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/17/23
Re-enacting rape is so low and no regard for the victims …. can’t listen ….loud background music& screaming …so Unnecessary…..
kikidreamer via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/23/23
NO
Ugh—no! This sounds like a TV show being replayed in a podcast. Lots heavy breathing, scuffling, screaming without a lot of context. I think they took some Investigation Discovery episodes and just made them into podcasts. Needs more narration and less graphic sound effects. Also, other weird...Read full review »
V Plantagenet via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/23
I enjoyed the story telling approach to each episode. The voice actors were very good too. In addition, these were true crime stories less covered and different than in other true crime podcasts I’ve listened to.
Curious about houses via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/23
The sound effects are extremely disturbing. Not only do you include screams and desperate pleas, you repeat the disturbing sounds over and over. To what audience are you trying to appeal?
jvh70 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/23
It is very disturbing and extremely unsettling.
Audrey Oluoch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/23
I'm very interested in true crime, and have listened to many terrible cases, but these re-enactments are extremely disturbing to me. Especially the one where there were re-enactments of rape. These are real people who suffered greatly, and this podcast makes their horrific, tragic experiences...Read full review »
Chris482 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/23
Good research. But, re-enactments of sexual assault are inappropriate and unnecessary.
DP'd Big Time!!! via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/15/23
There is too much background noise - as a person who has hearing issues, it really makes it difficult. People don’t need/want/expect these sound effects, where do podcast people get the idea it enhances their story? When the music stops and only a person is talking, it’s a distinct relief.
Love having podcasts via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/27/23
Great stories, but the incessant screaming in the story is over the top and ridiculous. Enough already.
Boujie88 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/11/22
I really like the show and actors but the overly dramatic and constant heaving breathing is a turn off (pardon the pun). Seriously a second or two is enough. It is not a stage.
LuraLeigh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/22
How can you even be okay with the reenactment of rape. The sounds are super creepy and weird. Could have done the story without the terrible acting
BringBackMike via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/22
Love the stories but listening to screaming and yelling was the worst. Think I’m going to have to pass on this podcast the recreation part is so overly done
betsz via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/29/22
Meh
Chops large portions out of the story. You’ll find they all use the same stories. Over and over. This one omits way too much to compete with some of the others. You don’t even get to know of what happened. Just the end product and run up to.
Hippapottapudd via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/28/22
the voice acting/general production is so wildly overdone that it’s hard to concentrate on the story. the stories themselves would be pretty intriguing if the delivery & production choices weren’t so incredibly obnoxious.
zab2234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/22
This is done in extremely poor taste.
Mae Sapphire via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/22
So, this style of true crime is interesting. It's entertaining and the re-enactments make you feel like you're there when the crime is happening. What I don't like is they also re-enact rapes. It makes me super uncomfortable.Read full review »

Good storyline but the re-creation noise is annoying thing. Way too much
