I worked as a paralegal for a public defenders office and this podcast has been so educational, as well as entertaining. So glad I heard you on Vanished!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more-addictive true-crime podcast. You know how with a really good book, you keep telling yourself, “One more chapter, then I’ll stop”? Except you can’t stop? This is the podcast version. “One more episode, then I’ll stop.” But you’re powerless.

I thank you every time I listen, all episodes, for helping to improve the rights of ALL individuals! Whether they know it is important to them, needs improvement or not. Thank you for your legal explanations and for taking the time to explain the justice system to us. I was extremely negative...Read full review »

Ali should not do the show alone. Too many long, awkward pauses. Hard to follow. Please just don’t.

This series is tops. Yes there is banter. Yes there are opinions. Three sides to every story. Big fan of this one.

Odinism or Asatru is a religious sect that attempts to revive ancient Norse religious beliefs and practices of pre-Christian Europe.

Why can’t Allison get names correct or EVER pronounce “Monon” correctly? After so many hours of her husband’s expert commentary, you’d think she’d get some names correct.

I know I’m late to the party but I’ve now made it through to the end of season 4. I have noticed that they just seem to end in what seems the middle of the season. Not sure what’s going on or if they appear in other seasons but this is becoming considerably frustrating. You put in all that time...Read full review »

I love this podcast. Just so you know, the most recent Delphi podcast was filed in the Daybell season.
aimom1317 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/17/24
Liked it at first but the theories presented are so far fetched and reporting is biased. I can’t listen to another minute.

Absolutely love Defense Diaries. I found them on YouTube and had to get the pod in my list. Bob and Ali Motta are quite a duo. I love having the variety of content between YouTube, this podcast and their other work. You must check out each season because they bring new perspectives to things you...Read full review »

Can’t get much more authentic than Bob & Alli Motta! Enjoy all of your content! #JBN forever!!!

I implore people to research the media they consume before they take anything at face value. These two are about the most unethical people operating in true crime media right now.

Robbbb….. found you guys a few weeks ago and I’m hooked!! I know, I know…. Super late to this party!! lol. Heard about you guys from the interview with Brett on The Prosecutors pod and ran right over to check yall out. Was hanging on every word in S1 with the Gacey case and S2 is proving to be...Read full review »

I thought this podcast would be great, but unfortunately I feel that the host is not credible. I will not listen, and I do not recommend this for anyone.

Defense Diaries masterfully combines high-quality production with innovative narrative techniques, making it a must-listen for anyone who loves delving into the nitty-gritty of true crime legal cases but still wants to be surprised along the way. Motta's knack for weaving together facts and...Read full review »

Do you really think, laughing and joking as you do, that you care about the right person being convicted for these crimes more than the families of the victims?? Get over yourself. Listening to them try to obfuscate and excuse disgusted me. Where is the evidence a serial killer even did this...Read full review »

Incredible deep dives. I just loved season 2, an amazingly immersive and riveting story that flows like a lengthy epic drama
Wilson-Metcalf via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/04/24
Ok
I like their voices. Obviously they’re defense attorneys. But I don’t feel like Bob is very aware of his bias. Sorry. I like the older cases better. I don’t feel like the more recent stuff is as objective.
sara7489 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/24
I’m a baby criminal defense attorney and this is literally my favorite podcast. I learn so much from y’all. Thank you for the time and energy you put into this work.
Steph_Esq. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/24
I use to love this podcast. I would get excited when it would release new episodes. I think your voices are very relaxing and your ability to “tell a story” is great. But recently I’ve been getting less and less excited about it. I enjoy your main stories, but your extra content is becoming more...Read full review »
Dawncassamy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/24
I used to enjoy this podcast and YouTube for Bob's perspective as a defense attorney, but not since he began peddling nonsensical, far-fetched conspiracy theories for clicks. It's disrespectful to the people involved in the case - including the survivors and the defendant - and it's...Read full review »
mcamps1220 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/24
Bob has jumped the shark with his association with the Delphi defense team and their unethical collaborators. Disgusting behavior from someone who likes to tell others to be kind. Also, his format is very difficult to follow. He jumps around from case to case and leaves you hanging while he’s...Read full review »
my3sonsohio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/24
I prefer listening to a combo of pods covering all sides of an issue, and why I began listening to this one several years back. Above all, I require ethical behavior in the pods I support. As of today, I am unfollowing DD and anything else associated with Bob et al. Truly sad that it’s come to...Read full review »

I have listened to season one of Defense Diaries Podcast more times than I care to admit since first finding it in the summer of 2021. I’ve kept up with your coverage of Delphi and the analysis of the Steven Avery case. I’m a daily trial watcher on the YouTube channels of Bob and Jay (The Shaming...Read full review »

Don’t waste your time listening to this I heard Bob dislocated his shoulder giving himself a pat on the back
Elsiecanada via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/25/24
This podcast’s Delphi coverage is disgusting. No respect for the victims’ families is shown. Childish.
Glencoemojo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/24
Such great content! Amazing you tube channel too with the same name! Thanks Bob!
jonoc77 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/25/24
I originally really enjoyed this podcast and the perspective. However, recently, it seemed to jump all over the place. Further Mr. Motta often portrayed himself as an objective observer, which I loved. As the podcast has expanded, he seemed to become inappropriately involved in certain cases. I’m...Read full review »
Brit Sue boymom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/24
Love the pod. Was skeptical to listen to something about Gacy (specifically didn’t want to give Gacy air time..). But after the first epi and hearing that Bob was also of the same opinion, and that he was dialed into sharing just the facts, I was hooked. Now I’m hooked on their YouTube too.
VancityStephie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/24/24
We love that Bob and Ali always keep it real and make sure to say both sides. *defense attorneys, naturally they tend to follow the innocent until proven guilty*. Their YT is fantastic, podcast fantastic, I highly recommend! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
LaurelnHardey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/24
I listened and was team Motta. Boy was I wrong. It was like the story just stopped. I was annoyed, and hoped the stories would be wrapped up soon. Nope! Now, I feel like Mr. Motta has shown his true slime bag character, with his narrative of the Delphi murders. It’s heartbreaking really. What a...Read full review »

Mr and Mrs Motta are the bomb of legal analysis podcast. As a self confessed crime junkie These guys are knowledgable, professional and fun. Highly recommended.
Clare(uk) via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/24/24
Bob has given me a greater appreciation of the role of a defense attorney is with regard to 6th Amendment rights. It is so cool that he followed in his father's footsteps and became a defense attorney. Its even cooler he married Ali whom he met in law school and is also a dedicated defense...Read full review »

Love this pod- from the coverage of Gacy to other current ongoing trials/convictions. Bob & Ali entertain while cutting to the meat and potatoes of each investigation/case.
dixiejeaux22 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/24
Bob and Ali are amazing, compassionate, and highly intelligent human beings! I never miss an episode!
Taren Dusty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/24
Really informative
pdrink10 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/24
The show is fun and lighthearted, however, I have learned a lot and they bring the receipts.

Creator Bob navigates heavy content while using kind and thoughtful words especially referencing sensitive topics. Never any misogyny or patriarchal nonsense either
Cate H. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/24
I always listen to the Defense Diaries YouTube even when I’m in the car, until I realized he started with the podcast. It’s the best. I listen to it when I’m cleaning my house driving my car mowing the lawn, it’s the best out there. I love it. Just recently I listen to Karen Reed, you should...Read full review »

Bob is a great storyteller and I can’t wait till a new podcast is dropped! Y’all are missing out if you don’t listen.

Was hopeful but sadly disappointed Painfully bad story telling
Bananazooo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/24/24
Sadly, I’ve had to change my review. I once thought this podcast was amazing. The Delphi coverage is so skewed and aggressive that I just can’t anymore. So sad to see something that once was logical and fair-handed become anything but. I don’t have a personal take on the case (waiting for all the...Read full review »

And kept me with the detail explanations. Reminds me of me when making a point. 😂He explains things at the level of a layperson. It’s phenomenal really. While listening to the Gacy tapes, I was so blown away by your explanation of being a defense attorney in this podcast. So, I kept listening...Read full review »

Hypocrisy and unethical. “Be kind”.
Chilpepper54 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/19/24
I feel like he keeps starting new stories and then doesn’t finish them, the whole podcast feels all over the place. He provides a lot of info but also is repetitive and boring.
Fitishlifeofme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/24
Update: Wow wow wow. I thought you were bad but your messages prove what a liar you are. Stop chasing fame at the expense of your ethics. Disgusting behavior. Updated. Delphi shows who you really are and it’s not good. You’ve changed. And not in a good way. I have only listened to the Vallow...Read full review »
