Best podcast you don’t know you have. Ken and Lauren are able to respectfully tell these morbid stories without being way too serious and depressing. Have covered 2 or 3 cases I personally have a connection with and they kept the victims dignity and taught me things about things I wasn’t even...Read full review »

Wonderful, amazing, informative and awesome. Fell in love with Lauren and her sweetness and then fell for how amazing Ken is and how beautiful his love for his wife shows as they do this podcast together. Talking about death. It’s well researched and they do a great job in paying attention to...Read full review »

Interesting cases covered with respect and kindness. They should be one of the big ones. Quality content and just the right amount of them interjecting their own thoughts and opinions. I like their sound effects too. I hope to meet them someday since we both live in FL.

Checks all the boxes. Get a kick outta how chatty Ken can be, and how patient and respectful Lauren is, in spite of it kinda getting to her!!! A real relationship, Love it.

Sounds like people calling in by telephone. I started with the 2018 shows. I don’t know who these people are as they didn’t even introduced themselves. Unsubbed.

Thank you for taking the time to go into detail about Taylor’s case. I was in High School with her, and we had the same group of friends. She was a beautiful soul, and she would gather crowds at local open mic nights with her voice & talent. She was loved by so many. At the time of her murder...Read full review »

I love true crime podcast and this is one of my favorites! The show is very well researched and documented. The flow of the show makes it easy to follow and you feel like you are getting the true story, not just the host opinion. Totally recommend it!

Been a loyal Paradise After Dark listener from Episode 1. Ken and Lauren put so much into each episode and provide you with solid facts.... Keep up the great work!!!!

I have been following this from the beginning, so great to see them grow, lots of local true crime that is not covered by anyone else, and then as they expanded into other areas, I have enjoyed that as well.
Floutdoorgal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/22
The hosts do a good amount of research and present the victims’ stories in a caring way. They are very entertaining too!
Jamibarss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/22
Ken and Lauren are great. They are very thorough and navigate through cases well. They actually did a 3 part podcast series on the murder of our daughter, Taylor McAllister including an interview w/ us back in 2020. We have stayed in contact with them ever since. They are both compassionate and...Read full review »

Lauren and Ken do an amazing job delivering one of the best true crime podcasts out today!!
AudreyM239 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/22
I really enjoy Paradise After Dark for multiple reasons. I love learning more about cases that took place where I live because the media here likes to keep them a secret usually. I also like learning about other cases throughout the state and hearing the different perspectives Lauren and Ken have...Read full review »

My favorite podcast! Ken and Lauren do an amazing job. They stay in topic and are very thorough. It’s not just something they do. It’s something they live. They really care about the victims and justice being served.
TheLesaDyer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/22
Excellent dual-narrators! The husband & wife bring their individual flair & focus to the show! I particularly appreciate their relentless pursuit of the truth. They do a tremendous amount of research & always present new and “further down the rabbit hole” information. I recommend...Read full review »

Great show. Great narration. I can tell these two really care about the victims and their loved ones and getting justice.
catman1119 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/21
I liked the idea of this show but the narrators are the worst. Female’s voice is so annoying and they’re basically reading from a story on Google. Wayyy too much talking and not enough story telling. Just get to the point. Can’t stand how she cuts off the man either lol like, let the man talk .
Jo likes xxxtentacoion via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/30/21
I’ve tried for several months to finish at least one episode and I just can’t do it. It’s like listening to a 4 year old tell you about their day.
SWFLsweetie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/21
Lauren & Ken are amazing at telling the stories of the victims & families. I am hooked on this podcast
Angie Birks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/03/21
I gave it 4 stars because it has potential. I personally am not a fan. I like the idea of telling stories from Florida especially with me being a native. Im just not a fan of your narration style. I feel like there is too much talking in between. Just tell the story, back it with details and move...Read full review »

Absolutely horrible sound quality I thought it was just the older episodes so I listened to the newest one it hasn’t gotten any better hard to listen to especially when the man slurs and mumbles his words so bad. Or speaks too fast. Just not good.
Burrito7575 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/25/21
Started following them because the Captain on True Crime Garage endorsed them and love it. The older stuff (as is with all new podcasts) is a bit rough so start with the most recent and work your way back if you like to binge like I do.
Jorykinz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/21
Having the Captain do your music was a great idea. Love it.

I LOVE listening to Paradise after Dark podcast at work. I just finished listening to all the 2020 episodes and few older episodes too! Sometimes I’ll listen in my car driving home.

If crime, unsolved disappearances & urban legends for the Southwest Florida area is your interest, this is the podcast to listen to. Forget “Wink News” This podcast dives deeper into the unsolved murders in our area. Not being a native of the area, as most of us aren’t, it’s fun to listen to...Read full review »

I'm really enjoying the cases covered from the state of Florida. Not only crime, I was pleasantly surprised to hear all kinds of tantilizing stuff about the "dark side" I never hear about up here in Canada. Lauren and Ken are really good hosts that keep the pace going so you...Read full review »
