Slow, convoluted, and underwhelming. There was surely a great story here that was lost in too many layers and not enough action

Murder in Oregon was great. Murder in Miami is even better! Phil Stanford has lived an amazing life. Thanks for making this podcast You both do an amazing job.

So fun and interesting. A pleasure to listen to.

I don’t normally write reviews for anything. However stuff like this irritates me. I listened to the previous seasons of this show, “Murder in Oregon” and “Murder in Illinois” and had no pay wall. However this time, hit episode 4 and now to listen to episode 5 I need to pay them. Nah. I’m good....Read full review »

Very much enjoying this podcast and definitely recommend it to my True Crime “Brethren”. But, just need to give a special shout out to ole Happy Myles, he’s like an 85 year old (no idea of his age, just guessing) Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Bet he was a cool dude that I’d fly...Read full review »

As good as it gets. An excellent excellent podcast!

Season 3 is long, gets consulted and way too slow
OkieDonkie via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/25/23
Loved first two seasons… this season was difficult to follow. Too many rabbit holes and story lines blurred together.

My podcast feed is pretty much all true crime and this one is disappointing. Really not much action going on. I’ve actually started using it to be my something to listen to when I went to fall asleep.
Tennislady D via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/10/23
Murder I’m Or and IL were both very good. This season in Miami seems to be all over the place and hard to follow. Phil’s credibility is very low and he seems totally self absorbed on how cool he was and is. Lauren seems to encourage the entire slate of interviews, without really testing or...Read full review »

The Miami season is horrible . Story is interesting but it’s all over the place! Every two second a new ad throwing the momentum off and the person narrating is doing a terrible job getting the story to flow.

Anything Phil involved with seems to turn into gold. Keep up the great work!
B Daddy of 2 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/23
The core story line and interviews about the drug smuggling is interesting, but SO many commercials make it tough to listen to. And the mini (7min +/-) episodes make the story tougher to follow week to week. The short episodes seemed discombobulated and an attempt to stretch the season out, not...Read full review »

Interesting story but it feels like this podcast 70% adds…buzzkill
_k_money444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/23
Great coverage of 1970’s 1980’s smuggling. Love all of Commandant Happy H. Miles tails. Sounds like he could have a book, podcast and Movie about his life. Lets hear more about the Cocaine Pirates!
its very very good man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/23
Absolutely one of the most well done podcasts in all of true crime. Murder In Oregon and Murder in Illinois are also must-listen material. LBP you rip!!! Keep ‘em coming.
Bronimos via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/23/23
Everyone who grew up in Florida in the late 70’s along any coastal community knows someone or knew of someone who was smuggling one thing or another back then. The stories were a lot more “romantic” before the cartels arrived. It was primarily a “good old boy” network made up mostly of...Read full review »

This is one of my favorite pods in a long time. The production and the storytelling is so compelling. I love the way the interviews are intertwined and the perspective it brings to such a surreal period of time. The characters really pull you in and the way the sounds compliment the action makes...Read full review »
Mwood613 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
So much filler, mediocre story telling drawn out by repeatedly using the same interview audio across multiple episodes
Uthgrns via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/23
Doesn’t set a good scene or give characters broad context, too focused on salacious details without explaining why they matter. Pass.
jc5876 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
Anyone who knows this story knows this producer is getting a ton of information wrong and screwing up the timeline. IHeart’s execs should be embarrassed. I’m embarrassed for them. She’s too thirsty for salacious details to understand how this story even speaks to the world we live in today. Just...Read full review »

Agree with another reviewer that this series is good up to Episode 4 when you slog through the Happy “interviews” (which is listening to his stories). The host slightly acknowledges his misogyny but I guess we’re supposed to be listening with an air of tolerant amusement, like your talkative...Read full review »
celiaf90 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/23
Meh
Couldn't get into it, moved slow with waaaaaay too many commercials. Hard to stay in the story when there are constant multiple interruptions of other true crime podcast ads.Read full review »
CumeraL via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/13/23
Episode 4 is a just no for me. Seriously a full episode of listening to this “Happy” slur though his sentences was a terrible decision. Up until episode 4 I was finding this an entertaining enough listen.

ADS
HOLY EFFING ADS MY GOD

“He never ran anything but grass until I turned over that load of coke to him on the island.” This guy’s line sold it for me.
kenjhunt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/23
I grew up in Miami in the 70s and 80s and was very much looking forward to this podcast. Sadly, the podcast’s host seems far more interested in her cohost, a former journalist turned private detective. Frankly, it’s been pretty boring. I’m halfway through the second episode and there hasn’t been...Read full review »
ShutterChick.com via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
I love that the new season is a prequel to the Oregon story, which I imagine is why they decided to put these shows in a feed together. The immersive sound design and narrative driven storytelling make it feel like you're sitting at the bar listening to Phil Stanford as he transports you back...Read full review »

Oh my GAWWWD, I love this series. So fascinating. I am literally on the edge of my seat. Than you Phil Stanford for your honesty and candor. And thank you Lauren for your continued quest for the truth and your ability to share it in such a captivating way.
davinaperlfineart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
It’s like real life Miami Vice! Lauren does a great job pulling you into the world and the music and sound make for some extremely easy listening. Highly bingeable!
OutofTroubleNik via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
I just noticed the same woman created the “Murder in Illinois” podcast. They didn’t include that season in this podcast because of the horrible reviews about Lauren. I will not listen to any podcast this woman is associated with, and that is why Season 2 is missing. If it were included then...Read full review »

I gave it seven minutes, the story and interviewee was all over the place. Did not set the picture or scenario well.
sshewfelt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/23
So many layers to this story. This is investigative journalism at its finest. The wide range of characters in this story that they managed to access and interview is amazing, matches the depth at which this mystery murder has been researched.
laffytaffypink via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 02/02/23
Didn’t know I’d have to pay to continue listening, also the commercials take up half the episodes 😑
JStrass via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/01/23
Way too many ads. More ads than content
hfyjfvgrtyh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/31/23
WAY too many commercials.
Beerandon88 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
Crazy immersive… the voices, the music etc it’s like a movie in your ears!
Carsonp18 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/23
What did I miss? What happened to season 2 of this great podcast
Nifter86 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/25/23
Has anyone else noticed the completely unrelated episodes that show up? Why is a Symptomatic medical mysteries podcast interspersed with Murder in Oregon?
Spaulding67 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/22
Well done! Kept me listening until it was all done!
janejurel via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/03/22
Very good story told in a very bad way. Information is repeated often, would have been a great 6 episode series
