“I really like this podcast, as me and my dad like to listen to it in the car. But I will have to say that I like the medical mysteries podcast better.”

“I like the premise of the show but can't listen anymore because of the extreme embellishment in the writing. If a couple is found murdered, how can you know the deceased guy was alive outside contemplating his health/fitness just moments before he was killed by surprise? You CAN'T! ...”Read full review »

“I love the way he tells the stories from different perspectives so that you cannot guess who the killer is. BUT
I really hate that he partnered with better help after all that they have done and are accused of. Seems to me like all of the podcasts are advertising for them, it is a shame! Also,...”Read full review »

“I generally find content entertaining but delivery is overdone and somewhat pretentious sounding to me. The voice is overly aware of its own singsongy tone which does so several times in one sentence. I find this over-emoting interferes with my enjoyment of the content, along with the constant...”Read full review »

“Love his YouTube vids and podcast. Some stories are kinda boring and you can easily forget or they’re easily skippable. I suggest making more deeper investigations because in some stories there’s some key info missing not in all the stories but in some interesting ones. I’m only giving 3* due to...”Read full review »

“I could listen to this man talk about anything. The presentation, the format, the storytelling, the level of information collected - absolutely chef’s kiss.

“Good stories but too many ads!! 3 full minutes at the beginning then several, long (at least a full min or more) throughout and then 3 more minutes after the story. It’s ridiculous. A good quarter to half the episodes are nothing but ads.
The narrator also includes really lame taglines, which I...”Read full review »

“Longtime listener, I started with the YouTube channel a few years ago, I saw him featured on Divetalk where they used his storytelling skills for their channel- I decided to check Mr.Ballen out and was happy to hear he was doing this more recently as well. It’s straight, articulate, to the point.”
