“I have decided to stop listening to this podcast at episode 2 because it is packed out with unnecessary ramblings, leading questions and talking about his own life and how he will make it his life’s work to find this guy. Shame really as it seemed an interesting story. Google here I come.”

“I have listened to all three Missing Podcasts and this one is a little slow, but an interesting case and the reporting is excellent. That said, I’m going to take a break for a while because in the last episode they played several ads for Trump watches and I just can’t listen to Trumps voice. I...”Read full review »

“The “ambient sound” episode was just such an a***ole move I had to quit the podcast. It wasn’t clever; it was aggravatingly stupid. Up to this point, I was curious about the story and willing to put up with the janky, jerky journalism. It’s a good story, told poorly, and engineered badly.”

“Not sure why the host keeps dragging this story on. 15 episodes already that could have been condensed to 6, and who knows how many more episodes there are. Most of the content is speculative instead of actual “true crime.” Probably wouldn’t recommend this.”

“I’ve enjoyed listening to the podcast for its content but the host has to constantly toot his own horn. Every single episode he’s gotta explain how he’s connected or his mom or a friend. Or that he suffers from this or that. It’s like a part time therapy session and really off putting.”

The host interjects often about himself and his opening remarks to Robert Fisher were just stupid and self aggrandizing. The ad to content ratio was also...”Read full review »

Recommend missing in Alaska over this one
Grateful for what I’ve learned but the quality of content to ad ratio is not excellent
Still a fan of serialized mysteries that teach me something about psychology or politics or history
Just wish there was a bit more...”Read full review »

“Really? Perpetuating the idea that the 2020 election was rigged or “stolen” by Democrats is unbelievable. I feel this show lost any and all credibility it was clinging to. Boo! Shame!”

“Jon is a great journalist. My favorite project was Missing in Alaska. I call it a project because it’s a ton of work investigating, tracking down sources and witnesses, and then creating the story. Jon does it flawlessly!!! He puts the story together beautifully and keeps you on the edge of your...”Read full review »

“I’ve mostly enjoyed all seasons of this podcast, though by the end of each season, I find myself fatigued. I don’t remember if I even finished the first two.
The stories are interesting enough and the reporting in-depth. But man, I feel like it can get kinda redundant. And the narrator’s cadence...”Read full review »

“Great story but the narrator has a weird AI-sounding voice with a strange cadence and the tangents and exploration of “theories” is honestly getting unhinged. I don’t think I can handle any more episodes.”

“I made it to episode 4. Specifically 5 minutes into episode 4.
He spends those 5 minutes in making sure we know he’s better than anyone else. Everyone else who has ever told this story are filthy, selfish liars. He certainly doesn’t think he’s trying to profit off of anyone’s pain. ...”Read full review »

“This may be my first podcast review ever. But I had to, just to comment on the season of Missing in Arizona. The case and podcast have good bones. But this podcast bends over backwards to exculpate the subject, and, to the extent the host believes Robert Fisher may have done it, he victim blames....”Read full review »

“Content is ok, but narrator making it about himself has me dumping out. Silly, irrelevant asides.. host goes 1st person way too much and loses credibility quickly… sad when the story has good bones, but the host injecting himself in the story takes it backwards.”

“Having multiple ads right at the start of each episode and then every ten minutes being bombarded with the exact same ads over and over throughout each episode, it’s just too much. I unsubscribed.”

“Star date 10/2/24. Last two episodes have been hot garbage. Too much talk on unknown variables. This week’s drop spent a lot of time on Kurt Cobain’s “suicide”. Suicide in quotes for a reason. Maybe Season 4 Walzac can do a deeper dive on those sketch suicide details.”

“A well-known unsolved mystery ruined by I Heart Radio’s use of a super crappy AI voice to narrate it. It’s rough. Also, why are there 4-5 minute ad breaks? Why all the nonsense pop culture framing references? The podcast gradually becomes unlistenable.”
