““The Disturbing Truth” is one of those unexpected gifts in life that cause you to be torn between shouting to everyone because it is so amazing … or holding it close as your own secret because you don’t want to risk anyone hearing it who might not appreciate how unique and powerful each episode and MrBlack is.
It does not matter if you’ve heard the story of the crime told 100 times 100 different ways. You will ALWAYS learn more from MrBlack. The research is extensive, accurate (from all I’ve seen) and unbelievably woven together with details that keeps you wanting to drive longer, stand in line to keep waiting, or prolong any activity just so you can hear how it ends. I love anything in life that slows me down and lets me enjoy the moment I am in. This show does that for me.
Although the facts and stories are exquisitely written and presented- the moon, sun , stars, planets and ENTIRE GALAXY of this podcast is the narrator who has a stunning natural and instinctual talent that no one compares to.
I rarely leave reviews and certainly never rave such as this, but I want to be one of the first to publicly say , mark my words: this narrator is not staying on just YouTube or podcasts. (Not meaning to minimize these massive accomplishments). I’m simply stating that I hope his dreams are big because they are right there within his grasp. I see major awards and more success right around the corner.
Knowing how to weave the details, time each word, sentence and episode to know the appropriate length these should be is an actual skill that most underestimate. Knowing when something calls for sensitivity and when things need to be lightened up is another skill SO MANY others miss. Additionally, there is a raw and sincere sensitivity shown to the victims and their families that many others won’t do or gloss over as if talking about the weather. He wants to educate in a way that doesn’t exploit; which often can be hard given the subject matter.
MrBlack’s natural born smooth and masculine voice is so soothing (even when discussing serial killers lol). Truly I understand opinions may vary regarding preference with narrators and content. However the abundance of talent from the narrator combined with the unique writing makes this a podcast no true crime fan should ever miss.”
