“I really enjoyed the first few seasons but lately it’s gone a little too Social Justice Warrior with the subject matter and narration. The old epis are the best, they are much darker and less reliant on long chunks of boring audio and subpar stories to fill the show.
Several episodes still...”Read full review »

“I hardly listen to this podcast even though I’ve been subscribed for a couple years. I didn’t realize the host and his social media following are S&S haters. Tells me a lot about them. I’m happy to not have this show clogging up my feed anymore. Had to revise down by another star when I read...”Read full review »

“I’ve subscribed to black label but I’m still only able to listen to episodes that are already available on streaming services. Why am I paying for things that are free? I’ll stop the subscription soon if I can’t find an answer.”

“Your research, your delivery, your tact, the little bits of yourself that you sprinkle into some episodes, all while staying mindful of the listeners and our tolerance levels…. Just top tier all the way around. Thank you for this podcast!!”

“Man, I’ve been looking forward to hearing episode 120 all week, but the labeling changed from ‘subscriber early access’ to ‘subscriber only’. Good show, I especially like your older content, and I’ve been a subscriber in the past. May be again someday. This leaves a bad taste though, don’t know...”Read full review »

“90% of the episodes are just 911 / interrogation audio. It’s lazy podcasting. Tell your listeners the story instead of just playing clips.”

“Update:
I tried to give it more chances, but this is the laziest and most irresponsible podcast. Relies heavily on recorded media (911 calls,etc) versus research and narration. The In Living Color episode refers to a depressed teenager who dies by suicide as “bemoaning” his life, and the same...”Read full review »

“This is my third time subscribing and being disappointed and cancelling. The host used to put way to much of his own opinions in. Now, he spends 10 minutes repeatedly doing disclaimers reminding people that he DOESN'T do that. The episodes are also now shorter. The actual episode is 90...”Read full review »

“As usual, excellent episode! I feel the way you do…Tony had true remorse…rare with psychopaths..
I feel 15 years is light…but like you said, he already did 15, and I agree the next 15 may be easier for him.
This was a rare case of guilt and remorse, for sure! Thanks so much!”

“Like I said I rated this as one of the best true crime podcasts, unfortunately, lately it seems it’s just 911 phone calls with some sparse commentary from Justin. It seems lazy not much research required for episodes like this . I was hoping this might be just 1 or 2 episodes but it seems to be...”Read full review »

“Overall I like this Podcast but if you could maybe never do another one like the Winter Park Wedding one that would be great.
95% of the show was a bunch of people screaming at the same time. Chaotic and hard to listen to.”

“The best true crime podcast out there.
