Sadly it’s not getting better
I loved season 1! It was a great build of suspense and accurate fact finding about the “ jersey devil” and some of the local lore was spot on, as well as the “satanic panic” of the time. I was sad when they made it for subscribers only but I was able to get it on other platforms at that time. Thankfully as of writing this all seasons are free again. Season two was interesting, but there were many inaccuracies about the Abrahamic faiths and sadly many misrepresentations of Native American beliefs and culture. And that was surprising to me because how accurate season 1 was when it came to talking about Christianity. And sadly this third season has been all over the place with many episodes being completely devoid of any facts. The narrator at times almost comes across as monotone and just reading a script rather than enthusiastically retelling/reliving the events he is talking about. After the past few episodes I actually had to unfollow the show. The ads are beyond annoying, also being placed in the middle of sentences at times. And this show just doesn’t seem to know where it is going anymore. If it ever cleans up the ads, and goes back to one specific story, that is told with actual facts about the real event, as well as interviews, and an accurate portrayal of different religions that explores the lore in a fun creative way, I will gladly follow this podcast again. But until then I must walk away. Season 1: 5 stars Season 2: 3-4 stars Season 3: 1 star

More reviews of The Devil Within
The first episode starts out good, but by the second episode I found myself zoning out… I couldn’t even make it all the way through the second episode, finally giving up halfway through and hitting the “unsubscribe“ button. This is not a true crime podcast, but more full of speculation and boring...Read full review »

I agree with the other reviews. The music/chords/chimes every 3-4 minutes is very distracting. It takes away from the story. Other than that liking it so far.

This thing is very hard to listen to with the constant music and noise overlaid to the narrators voice.
