“Unbiased, fact based and great research. There isn’t an angle or predetermined outcome in their writing. This is what real journalism should look like.
Hooked into the story from episode 1.”

“I cannot praise this podcast enough. Story choices are excellent.
1. Compassion for victims
2. Very good structure and continuity of episodes
3. Season one used local musicians and composers (unsure about following seasons as I do not recall mention of it and a Morgantown studio burned)
4....”Read full review »

“I’ve gone back and forth on my thoughts of this pod. Sometimes with the music I think it’s more Spotify channel then journalistic podcast, other times I think the music fits. Sometimes the content is great and fascinating, and the pod shows all the promise of being one of the greats in this...”Read full review »

“I’ve been an avid listener of true crime podcasts for 8 years. I’ve heard them all but this Appalachian Mysteria, season 2 has stood out as the most well-composed of them all. The story is fascinating and promotes lively debate with a foggy conclusion. But the most impressive part is the choice...”Read full review »

“The Content and research is very thorough and I would listen to any case they publish . My only criticism is the music interludes and transitions they are so distracting and I hate them. It really distracts from their content .”

“The podcast team is good and the stories have potential, but the infatuation of playing bad music throughout the podcast almost makes it unlistenable. The music issue along with the terrible editing of Season 1 detracts from the stories.”

“Season 1 was really great although the sidetrack into the paranormal in the second “bonus” episode briefly ruined what had been a fantastic series up to that point. Fortunately it doesn’t really detract from the overall excellence of the show. A must if you’re a Boomer/Gen-X from WV or SW PA. ...”Read full review »

“I didn’t think the victims were as respected as they should be. The puns and jokes are in bad taste. I hope the other seasons will be 100% compassionate to the victims. It would have been humanizing to know more about Morad and Karen and what they had hoped and planned. Maybe that wasn’t possible...”Read full review »

“This podcast is great! However, it made my stomach turn & blood boil to hear the hosts repeatedly refer to a sexual assault as a “drunken mistake” in season two.
