“... she ruins it with her unnatural speaking voice. She doesn't sound the way someone would sound in normal conversation. She gets to the end of a sentence and accents the last couple of syllables in an unnatural fashion as if she were a news/weathercaster or something – whatever it is,...”Read full review »

“Awful. Stories are dragged out for no apparent reason. The sound quality from some interviews is dire. I listened for around 20 minutes. I then realised I had zoned out. I turned it off. Peace at last from the droning voices. Are they Ai voices?”

“Nina instead’s podcast “Already Gone” was my intro into the world of true crime podcasts back in 2015, and I like her straight facts and signature voice. I love this podcast because I am hearing new cases (to me) that haven’t been rehashed a thousand times in the true crime stratosphere. I’ve...”Read full review »

“It took a little to adjust to the style, I think largely because it’s so different from other true crime podcasts- but, once I adjusted I found myself enjoying it. I really like that there are stories shared on here that I haven’t heard before.”

“I’ve heard of smear campaigns but after reading these reviews I’m still shocked! I love it’s sister podcast (oh please don’t smear it too!) and I was throughly accustomed to the “voice” and straight facts. There’s no fluff here; just facts. And I’ve never heard a recording played on this podcast,...”Read full review »

“I don't mind Nina's style of storytelling. I find the cases interesting, but what I cannot tolerate are the constant audio clips where it is so hard to understand what is being said. This springs my rating down. If it is necessary to the story, please just read it rather than play audio...”Read full review »

“A good podcast but not as well written or delivered as the original. Actually, I probably wouldn’t have stuck with it if it was a standalone. Glad to hear it’s on pause and eager to hear what this means for more work by Benjamin Fitton.”

“A great podcast utterly ruined. A pleasant enough voice, but rather robotic and for heaven’s sake, can she pause AFTER A PERIOD. It’s all one run-on sentence. Please, please get Benjamin back. Update: I tried again seeing mixed reviews. I thought maybe I judged too quickly. Well, I guess that...”Read full review »

“While this podcast is well researched, the writing and delivery by the host is very hard to listen to. I’m not quite sure if it’s the host, or the overuse of the thesaurus by the writer, but it just doesn’t sound natural.”

“Came to this pod because of how much I loved They Walk Among Us. Imagine my excitement when they said they were going create an American version - and then my disappointment when it wasn’t going to be called “They Walk Among U.S.”
Other than my beef with the show title, this is an excellent...”Read full review »

“This podcast is great at bringing in audio clips from other media sources to tell a great story. My only frustration is with the reading voice. More hosts should just talk normally. But then again, USA news readers also still use a “news voice” so it might just be a USA cultural thing.”

Since she took over from Benjamin, the previous host, and an equally superb one, it’s become my go-to true crime fix. The content is spot on, and delivered perfectly. Keep up the...”Read full review »

“Nina is definitely a better fit for this podcast, could listen to her all day long. The writing for Bennington Triangle is a bit overwrought though - maybe put down the thesaurus.
