I am gay and from Tampa and was coming of age during these murders but didn’t know anything about them. This podcast really unsettled me, it’s not a true crime podcast. It is much deeper and exploratory. The host is excellent and does a lot of heavy psychological lifting I was not expecting. The...Read full review »

I can’t wait for Season two. I wasn’t sure this one would be for me but I trusted Josh and I don’t regret it. When a show is done this well… just listen to it.

My heart hurts so much right now. I’m only on episode 3 and starting over. how did it get there so fast?

Such compassionately careful, yet thorough journalism. I can’t speak highly enough of his reporting style and methodical approach. If you enjoy this, try his other podcast “true crime bull****”

A second amazing podcast! I love Josh’s work, story telling and detailed thorough investigation. AMAZING! You will not be disappointed

Josh, You knocked this podcast out of the park. I hope it reaches your target audience and beyond. Wise words are being spoken and people need to hear them. I am not a gay man, I am not even a man. I am a Native American woman so persecution and discrimination are commonplace in my world however...Read full review »

Josh has outdone himself with another delivery of exceptional investigation and storytelling. Definitely recommend giving this and Josh’s other podcasts a listen. Check out Studio Both/And! You will not be disappointed.
LindseyLoucifer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/24
Josh is a fantastic investigative reporter and great storyteller. This story is so impactful and really gets one thinking about the ways society disregards people.
duhdeedeeduh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/13/24
Not bashing Josh but I know you said on your “extravaganza” shows for TCB that you were shocked/disappointed that this podcast is not popular ratings wise . Well this isn’t really a 100% true crime pod , is it ? If you would’ve had more investigative aspects and been true to a True Crime pod...Read full review »
COWBOY68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/24
Another excellent podcast from Josh Hallmark. This one hits a little different if you are “family”. Josh treats this story with the usual respect and meticulous research he is known for. However in addition to that there’s a history lesson on the gay experience that is touching and shocking that...Read full review »

Once again Josh puts out a podcast that goes beyond typical true crime . Excellent.

We have a brilliant lesbian Judge in Our community whose local lifetime Catholic Church refused Communion sacrament. That had just received 7.000$ from her also. It was put on TV to shame her. Highly politicized in W. MI. IMHO, White supremacy hate fuels Gays as crime victims. Huge problem. Gotta...Read full review »

I just love your work Josh. Your voice is next level beautiful, the passion for what you do incredibly inspiring, you must be one of the most emotionally intelligent humans that grace our earth. Your words move me so much that sometimes I cry and other times I’m just angry at all the prejudice...Read full review »

Josh is so impeccable with his podcasts. He’s great to listen to and I’m learning so much from this podcast. Thanks for another great one Josh!!

Wonderfully researched, reported and produced as always.
rebecca1175 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/24
Josh does great work, always. The vulnerability shared in these stories really touches and moves me. Excellence.
Smilyme via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/24
This podcast resonates on so many levels. Not only is it an important (and complicated/layered) story, the storytelling and life experiences shared are significant in their own right and add to the cases being covered. Once again Josh proves that he is one of the most ethical and thoughtful...Read full review »

It’s so important to bring attention to the stories that happen in the LGBTQ population, and Josh does this one masterfully. Highly recommend this addictive podcast. Excellent research and presentation, great storytelling.
Pads Paws & Claws via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/06/24
Josh researches everything he does so well! I had never heard of these crimes, but I really like that he is covering them. He is very insightful and I enjoy his personal perspective as well.
Pjv2001 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
This is another great one although equally terrifying. Josh the work you guys do is supreme truly!
VikingRouge via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
If you like long-form, investigative shows that are compassionate and thoughtful, this is just that. Josh reminds me of an American David Ridgen, which is very high praise.
KitchenStitching via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/30/23
The first episode and the song after had me so captivated and in this journey with you. In my own journey as well. Josh, thank you for your dedication to painting the full picture so we all can contemplate the further implications. The example you set is a breath of fresh air.
Emfree123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/23
Absolutely the best.
bbycakes1 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/08/23
I am anxiously awaiting the next episodes! Excellent work as usual Josh. The best part for me is the sensitive way you approach and share the challenges facing gay men. Thank you so much for sharing, I am learning so much
Simmar101 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/07/23
Josh is one of my favorite podcasters. This is well researched and I look forward to any and all projects from Studio Both/And.
sbenavides03 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
Josh brings his researching skills and meticulous sense of detail to a new story. He spends time on the context of these murders, exploring some of the norms and standards of gay life at the time, as well as introducing the central figures, their homicidal version of BDSM, and their odd...Read full review »

Excellent and a must listen.
Millao2000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
Another top-shelf, thoughtful, podcast from Josh Hallmark (should we expect anything else?). This work encouraged a lot of reflection for this straight white man and resulted in great conversations within our family. I encourage any listeners to support JH by leaving a review and (hopefully)...Read full review »

I’ve lived near and in Tampa my whole life and didn’t know anything about this story. Josh Hallmark is an amazing storyteller!
jleuschke via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/05/23
If you’re a fan of Josh’s stuff you’ll recognise the attention to detail and inside track that characterise his work. A great examination of very underserved material.
nyalathotep via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/05/23
This is a well researched and ethically produced podcast.

I love the way Josh tells a story. Give it a listen.
Don1527 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/04/23
Another impressive podcast from Josh Hallmark. Unsafe Spaces is shining light on a case that deserves attention and whose victims deserve answers. I was hooked from the first episode.
Julie Beeee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/23
amazing story by an amazing story teller!!
nay raygun via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/19/23
Josh Hallmark is the best podcaster I have ever listened to. His ability to tell a story and research his cases so thoroughly is both amazing and artful. I look forward to everything he does and have never been disappointed.
cassidyhaisliplopez via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/17/23
Every time Josh Hallmark puts a new podcast out it’s always tonally a bit different, the subject matter ranges from light-hearted to dark, but there is always a personal touch. With Unsafe Spaces, Josh brings light to a case many may be unfamiliar with, but entwined with the retelling of the case...Read full review »

Josh Hallmark has done it again. Highly recommended!
Leila90041 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
Josh again delves deep into a storyline that hasn’t received the attention it deserves, and does so with intensity, integrity and with the same gripping style he always does. I’ll listen to anything Josh puts out, but this new podcast has me eagerly waiting each new episode drop.
FarmingtonDave via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/23
Josh makes the best podcast! All of his podcast have sucked me in and this one has as well.

Really does anything else need to be said?!?!?
Carol22l via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/23
Josh has been my favorite crime podcaster since 2020 when I found TCBS and went down the Keyes rabbit hole. Unsafe Spaces is already promising another rabbit hole for me to fall down and fixate on. Josh is a master at handling sensitive cases with care and compassion, and this case being so...Read full review »

This podcast really helps you learn about the whys for how cases evolve from the perspectives of those involved.
Glassshutter via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/05/23
I’m loving this podcast. Love everything Josh Hallmark touches because it is always so empathetic towards the victims and family of victims. You can feel all the research that goes into every episode. Great music as well.
Ryann257 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/02/23
Per usual, Josh brings insight and humanity to a really horrible series of crimes.
Bananayana9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/31/23
This podcast is well researched and produced. Thank you, Josh for shedding light on this important story. I am learning so much and can’t wait to hear the rest of this season.
JJTJMA16 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/29/23
Wow
The first two episodes give me a strong indication of how important and impactful this show will be. Josh is an incredible storyteller who has managed to do GOOD with his work on TCBS & I hope the same happens for this show. Everything Josh touches is gold because he genuinely cares. He’s...Read full review »
