Nobody tells a story like Sword & Scale. This particular one is very dark so it isn’t for the faint of heart. I love the writing and the narration as always. If you want a little less dark listen to the other S&S podcasts including Nightmares and plus.

So I see that most of the 1 star reviews are harassing Mike Boudet, whom I don’t know personally. But his podcast/s have saved my f***king life, because he won’t be silenced. His consideration for victims, his love of what he does, and his true passion for telling these stories - keeping these...Read full review »

Monstruo takes some of the most horrendous true crime stories — most of which I have heard before through other podcasts or documentaries — and deliver them through one of the most interesting and captivating ways I have ever heard. Whether you know about these stories yet or not, I can guarantee...Read full review »

Wow great work on this. Dude where’s the rest at.

This is very dark! Didn’t think it could get darker than sword and scale! It’s a different format, more of a story telling. It is engaging!

There will be no more.

Hosted by a couple of incels. My god.

Sword and Scale is good, this is not.
chadnbrad651111 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/23
Mike boudet is just the world’s biggest loser. He is 4 brain cells away from being disabled and 2 poor decisions away from being the very people he writes about - just a complete creep who doesn’t know how to use most words properly. This is show is so cringe. Someone preemptively arrest this...Read full review »

I‘d love to subscribe, but 15€ per month is crazy. It’s basically only for sword and scale plus, the other shows are discontinued years ago. I‘d like to support you guys but 15€ just for one show is completely absurd.

Whoever wrote these was jerking off while they did it. Check their hard drive.

This pod cast is more graphic then I anticipated. But I really enjoy how you tell the story in a manner in which I can close my eyes and see the story unfold and sort of see through reach persons eyes and the audio is epic. Ignore the haters and keep up the good work!
novelgirl30 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/25/23
This show doesn’t follow the usual, often played-out, version of a true crime podcast (for which there are many to choose from).. if you’re looking for bare facts and a victims story etc, then it isn’t for you! It’s true stories, told in a dramatised manner, by the best story tellers in the...Read full review »

Love this podcast, I’ve been (im)patiently waiting for more episodes.
eryncs via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 03/15/23
After hearing all episodes of Sword and Scale, I was searching for something that could bring me the same enjoyment as that podcast. I went searching for a new show to listen to but was fairly unsuccessful. Most of the ones I found did not have the same storytelling as Michael Boudet’s podcast...Read full review »

I really miss Jack Luna in the series. I know he has other podcast.Is storytelling is so unique and I really appreciate his perspective. Jack Luna’s King!

I dont get the hate. If you dont like the genre then just take a walk. This show is brilliant. Great writing, great content, great hosts.

Love this show! Best podcaster ever!

Amazingly vivid story telling. Loved the cases and thoroughly enjoyed the directors commentary episodes. It is interesting to hear what goes into the episodes. Came wait for Nightmares to drop soon.
Marina Marie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/23
I just hear all the episodes and I must say Luna your story telling is out of this world, you have it all, I love the way the stories are written too, at first I was not sure if this was for me but it definitely is, I get how you guys are going into the killers mind and try to see it from they’re...Read full review »

Very enjoyable. Just to mention that the word regale is not pronounced ree-gall but just as it looks …ree-gale.
adghkignvv via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/23
The actual episodes are. Definitely skip over the reviews, at least until after binging the actual shows.
rayanne53 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/23
If you like made-for-tv movies and the cheese factor they bring to the table, you’ll probably like this. And if so, great! Unfortunately, I’m not one of those people. It’s almost comical how bad this is. Probably a huge hit with Incels. Mainly due to their adoration of Mike Boudet.
Roscoe Van Damme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/02/23
These are like gold. Very well done.
dogswonteatbreakfastwithme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/22/22
The stories. The grit. Well put together and intriguing. Cannot stop listening! So vivid! I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I wish it would return!
AshGonzalez91 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/22
I found the show not long ago and it such a good podcast. I feel there are many people who are just too closed minded or easily offended to actually appreciate how good it is. It is not like other podcasts and love the different way to tell the story. I really hope you guys continue with this one...Read full review »
Kenicat31 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/22
Sword and Scale is one of my absolute favorites so I definitely wanted to check this one out. It gives you the story in a way that is never told. It’s definitely interesting hearing it in a way from the murderer’s view on everything. Keep up the good work guys!!
squadslore via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/22
Humiliatingly terrible. Mispronunciations galore. The writing is so atrocious… This is a deeply stupid person.
madelineWH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/22
... and Jack Luna saved it for me. Great storytelling.
heynu75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/22
This is elite storytelling
Emmanuel885 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/14/22
Sword and scale is amazing, this is just douchey. It’s like two teenage boys were given a credit card and equipment. I’m not easy to offend, nor do I consider myself a social justice warrior. But the way these two over sexualize and sensationalize the crimes these stories are based on is at best...Read full review »

Just recently found it and LOVE it, so sad to know I will have reached the last episode soon. :(
Coolietta via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 03/19/22
Honestly I should have just kept skipping the “director’s commentary” episodes. After being told that any complains against the show were sjw’s and that the world has become too sensitive it just turned me off the show completely. I can go listen to the old men calling anyone who disagrees with...Read full review »

Willyboogaloo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/27/22
Jack and Mike are awesome. The bad reviews are just easily “triggered” woke losers.
simc24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/22
Wish we could get more of these. I love Jack’s voice and delivery. Highly recommend.

I felt sick to my stomach listening to must of these shows. As a survivor of sexual assault as a child, teen, and young adult I had feelings come up I hadn’t felt in years. I’m currently a therapist and I have found that there are more of these killers out there that are close to the edge. THIS...Read full review »
Natluvsnoe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/21
Very different perspective - to think of the crimes from the view of the perpetrators rather than the victims. Instead of just thinking, who would do that.. This makes you think more about how the minds of these people may be working. Makes a scary take even scarier to be immersed from a...Read full review »

Man I still totally and absolutely LOVE your voice! You Da Man Luna! Deep smooth and touch Canadian! Come touch my Connecticut! Much Love to 11:59 and Luna! Hope that stings! Your show was and is now successful because of Luna! Five stars Luna!

I appreciated your creativity in presentation and story-telling. I realize this format is not for everyone, which is why there are other podcasts and content creators. Some people prefer more detail. Some prefer less. People should match themselves with the best fit. I miss this show and would...Read full review »

It is about the atrocities of what humans can be. Not sure why anyone thinks it should be watered down.
BackWoodsWitch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/21
While these stories can be compelling the overuse of sexualized descriptions of mutilated female body parts take me out of the story. Yes it’s true crime but you don’t have to buy into your perps misogyny. It is juvenile and cheap. Also the terrible overblown descriptions and misuse of...Read full review »

I’m a huge true crime fan but this is a perverted and disgusting glorification of rape and murder for shock value. There is no thought taken for the victims or their families, just poorly written narrative from the perspective of the murderer. Wouldn’t recommend it for anyone.

This podcast is different from any other. Gives a different prospective on true crime. The story telling and writing is very descriptive and makes the audience feel like you are actually there, witnessing the crime yourself. Some listeners may think it’s too descriptive or disgusting but these...Read full review »

I love the hosts, I follow and listen to all podcasts these two are involved with, the storytelling and or intro banter on each podcasts is like listening to family.
