Saff is a trans man - so maybe you should get your facts straight before you comment . Netflix got it wrong - this podcast didn’t.

This is a fantastic podcast, I listened to it when it first came out. Started writing some reviews for some podcasts, and noticed a lot of one star ratings, and a lot of them were complaining about it copying the Netflix documentary. This came out first people.... The podcast and documentary were...Read full review »

Excited to listen to this vs having to spend time that I don’t have to watch on Netflix. Those of us that don’t have the luxury of binge watching, this is amazing!!! Excited to hear what everyone was loving on Netflix.

I didn’t know too much about Joe Exotic and it was v interesting to listen to a journalist’s point of view about this case.
Rexyville via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/23/21
This podcast came out BEFORE the documentary and actually seems a lot LESS biased to me.

We already knew all this info from the nations most viral show... no need to repeat info
franklevin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/21
Told very well. Some things not told in the Netflix doc, A LOT of things in the doc not in this podcast
Meganm007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/02/21
I was a big fan of the Netflix doc series but I was surprised to enjoy this even more. Not only does it present information as journalistic truth rather than just a story crafted to be dramatic, it also tells the animal rights warriors as the heroes of the story rather than convincing everyone to...Read full review »
Kaybara the Capybara via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/21
I can away from this with the conclusion that both Joe and Carol are both nut jobs. I don’t believe in a second her early story about running away from her first husband and catching a ride with a guy who had his hands around her neck and marrying him. That is a story in it self. She is not...Read full review »

Couldn’t even get through the 1st episode. No thank you
srey.kao via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/20
I prefer this over Tiger King.
rosa manzo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/20
And please stop giving this animal abuser attention
ChiMamma31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/20
terrible
lemberg1256 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/20
Anyone who knows anything about the tiger king story can immediately see the bias in this podcast. I am second guessing the information presented in the other Wondery podcasts now.
lvgps27 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/20
I was a huge fan of the tiger king story but found this to be a water downed down version of the Netflix series. This podcast isn't worth the time stop giving Joe what he wants and let him sit alone in jail with no media attentionRead full review »
Jo.dii via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 08/31/20
Listened to this before the “documentary” and this is brilliant. The show on Netflix is unbalanced trash—not a documentary at all.
zeemie11 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/20
Can we just stop giving Exotic attention? It’s what he wants!!
Cubone&NatutrainerLannisterfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/04/20
Rob Moore does a great job sifting through all the shady characters to try to give the listener a well rounded story and snapshot of Joe Exotic and the world of exotic animals.
KiwiHiker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/20
I prefer the Netflix miniseries as it seems to tell a more well rounded story. The host of this podcast does not tell the story in an unbiased way. He also makes many statements and presents them as facts. One example was he stated "Carole's first husband was abusive" without giving...Read full review »
clt05 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/26/20
This was a much more balanced perspective than the Tiger King documentary. Has both interviews and first hand experiences of the journalist that provide greater depth. To all those who are saying that this is biased towards Carole Baskin, that is because the Netflix series is more biased towards...Read full review »
SunshineListener16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/20
I watched the Netflix series and found this a great addition to what happened to Joe. Crazy guy, but didn’t think he should have got so much jail time. Carol was no innocence person.
someone in Jamaica via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/13/20
He may have started out with good intentions but in the end he’s no better than any other outfit that uses wild animals for human entertainment & profit. Sickening. As an animal lover, I had a rly hard time listening to this- there is a special place in Hell for people like you!!!!!
Yiska1980 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/12/20
This podcast is great. Gave it a listen after I watched the documentary! The podcast gave so much detail. Great work!
Kevinsfight via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/11/20
As with all Wondery podcasts, excellent listen! Keep them coming!
TomT38 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/19/20
The podcast has a more balanced view on the people involved. I don’t understand the whole sentiment around Joe. He had a though life but he is also a awful awful person. He mistreated the cats and his employees. The whole underdog narrative that the netflex doc created for him is inaccurate in my...Read full review »

How crazy is it that this podcast is way better and more detailed than the series on Netflix?! 😳 Well done! This is amazing!!
Magga-Licious via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 06/03/20
This is a pretty good podcast. There is some info that want in the Netflix documentary.
Davadunteram via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/20
Enjoyed these episodes
Roberto El Segundo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/20
Excellent podcast! So much more information on Carol and the murder for hire. Sooooooooo interesting! You won’t regret listening.
stoptellingmethat via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/20
The reason I started listening to this podcast was due to all the hype surrounding the Netflix documentary. Everyone was binging & raving about it. I though it would be a true crime story, but it turned out to be more about a narcissistic & flaky exotic animal owner. I have one word for...Read full review »
the locacious one via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/20
I love that I received an unbiased opinion from this podcast. Although I enjoyed the documentary, it was too against Carole Baskin. This podcast gave insight to both stories and details that were not shown on the Netflix series. Point is that both Carole and Joe made mistakes and were too...Read full review »
Rosy_9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/20
This is a much more balanced and accurate portrayal of the Joe v Carol rivalry than the Netflix series. Very good listen.
Carschmn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/20
It’s really good nice to have more of the background story’s
Hackerphoto via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/25/20
THIS IS A MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE NETFLIX DOCO!!! Well researched, actually unbiased, chronological correct. This is one of the best podcast series I have listened to and if you want to get the real story about the circus that is Exotic animal abusers then this is it! 🦁🐯
Theearlybirslashrandomrooster via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/16/20
After watching The Netflix documentary I realize that the information was more for ratings and didn’t show the whole story. This podcast does that, and does not dramatize/make people look better then they are for rating or viewing appeal. Joe Exotic and other big cat exploiters need to be held...Read full review »
madsthemadhatter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/20
I wish I would have known this Rob guy was CAROL BASKIN SUPPORTER before I listened to it. Though I’m not a Joe Exotic supporter this guy clearly thinks the world of Carol Baskin.
chuckNashley via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
Legit a copy and paste of the Netflix documentary
Joshy😂😝 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/08/20
Killed Her husband whacked him can’t convince me that it didn’t happen fed him to tigers they snack in what’s happening? CAROLE BASKIN
Monokuns via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/07/20
Wonderful and unbiased. To the person who gave one star because “Saf is a woman”. You’re factually incorrect and should educate yourself before posting reviews. The Netflix documentary consistently misgendered Saf who is a transgender man as a she. He is a he. So not only is Netflix incorrect,...Read full review »

Carole baskin killed her husband because she was so angry and she buried him on the property but if theirs no evidence then she fed him to tigers
kamariamckay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/20
Carol wasn’t portrayed as I see her. I don’t believe her story’s she said she didn’t have a relationship with her brother. She went on to say he was bullied as a child and she came to his aid. She met up with him the day after or night of the death of her husband. She was walking the streets...Read full review »
ADiffer via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/02/20
This is an unbiased, well-researched take on the story of Joe Schreibvogel, convicted of fraud, conspiracy to commit murder, and animal cruelty, and his abuses of his lovers, staff, business partners, and animals. It also tells the story of how Carole Baskin went from cub petting and breeding to...Read full review »
Violet Toes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/01/20
Like so many, I found this podcast after being enthralled by the Netflix documentary. I found it to be unbiased which was a pleasant surprise because I think the documentary tried to paint Joe as an unsung hero, or some sort of underdog. As sure as I am that Carole Baskin killed her husband, I am...Read full review »
Shannon Belles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/20
This podcast came out way before the documentary and I feel it really did a good job telling the story. Sadly the recent bad reviews are mostly just Joe sympathizers who can’t see him as a bad guy.
Tlawton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/20
Gives a decent amount of information, but feels very biased as if Carole financed the podcast. Would have preferred a more unbiased approach.
Seth Glasbrenner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/20
I’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast but it’s heavily biased. Carole Baskin appears like a saint in this one and joe exotic is the issue?!
