    Excellent TRULY TRUE Crime
    I really love the work done by this podcast!! And I do so much that while Iā€™m able I put my money where my mouth isā€¦as we say here in the US. While I can which may not be much longer, Iā€™m happy to do it. You guys seem to understand that TRUE Crime can mean TRULY HEINOUS,TRULY MACABRE, TRULY FRIGHTENING, etc. You give reasonable notice advising listeners the episode may not be for them & you get on w/it w/all itā€™s: TRUE Crime-ness in all itā€™s Real Reality Realness (Forgive the alliteration!) And my favorite part? When Benjamin says: And where are we now? The great wrong is righted! Justice is served! Injustice is resolvedā€¦ Whatever needs to happen; does. Except when itā€™s a bit too real and justice goes horribly wrongā€¦etc, etc. Convictions are unsafe; sentences are too shortā€¦ too long, too harsh; guilty die before judgement can be passed: life; death

    Great podcast
    Have to listen at 1.25x though.

    Getting boring
    Sometimes the cases are interesting. maybe because we are hundreds of episodes, though, sometimes they are so dull. Often times they just repeating the same sentences over and over again. This most recent episode we heard him describe what she said in the police interview, then we heard him describe how the prosecutor described what she said in her police interviews then he described her on the stand saying the same thing as in the police interview. If there isnā€™t that much material, just do a short episode or write an episode about something else. As many others have said, he speaks slowly and monotonously, itā€™s one of my bedtime podcasts because of that. But the doesnā€™t mean Iā€™m not listening to the content, and itā€™s irritating when itā€™s just repeating the same few sentences over and over.

    What went wrong
    Once upon a time this was a thoroughly fascinating true crime podcast, but in the last two-three years the cases that are covered are remarkably dull, without any of the twists or turns that made earlier seasons so compelling. More like a police blotter than actual storytelling, the podcast has become a sad slog.
  • Alygram
    Season 9 Ep 3
    This is a simply heartwrenching story of victims of a very sick man. Well researched, written and narrated. Fascinating but so sad at the same time.

    Over it
    Iā€™m so tired of getting ā€œearly access showsā€ Iā€™m about to delete the podcast all together.
  • fimmy1423647
    Just the facts!
    This show is great because there isnā€™t 10 minutes of banter between hosts at the beginning who think theyā€™re funny. He presents the case straight off in a very well researched way. This is the kind of crime podcast I like. Itā€™s very much like Casefile, my other favorite podcast.

    My absolute FAVORITE True Crime Podcast! Benjamin and company are INCREDIBLEā€¦, hands down ! Thank you for the great storytelling.
  • 5891Jonathan
    Gritty storytelling
    There are times when I have to take a break during an episode. Very disturbing, and I am not overly sensitive about the dark side of human nature.
  • LoveyDovey15
    Amazing podcast!!
    His voice, the way he tells the story plus all the research theyā€™ve done to bring us the full story is absolutely 5 stars! Whenever Iā€™ve caught up on episodes, I start over and listen again! Absolutely worth trying. You wonā€™t be disappointed.
  • Ex-Murderino
    Interesting but host needs to speed up the narration
    Interesting cases but the host has a strange way of speaking. He often drastically slows down the last few words in a sentence (which is saying a lot since he already speaks quite slowly).
  • LEO_4_LIFE
    What happened
    Whats with the weird voice? spoils a great show.
  • Tb dub
    I love his voice.
    One of my favorites! His voice is soothing and appropriately non-dramatic.
  • Kim, Boulder
    Voice
    Her voice puts me to sleep, no enthusiasm in it!!!
  • kbish614
    One of my faves
    Love this podcast, love the hostā€™s soothing voice.
  • B.dS7
    This is passable if you put the speed at 1.25
    Otherwise itā€™s basically hypnosis
  • Ghost0987
    So worth while
    Worthy of paying for, well done, this N.A. of content, thank you!
  • Kay Kay 478
    Too slow
    Itā€™s a good podcast, but the fact that I had to speed it up just annoyed me, especially because heā€™s super slow, but interviews and everything else are regular speed.
  • T-pho
    Amazing
    So good
  • Klah11
    Horrible voice
    I canā€™t understand how people are praising the hostsā€™s voice. I actually thought it was a computer at first. I had to speed the sound up to 1.25x and ultimately, sadly wonā€™t be able to listen to this show due to slow robot host. Maybe AI is fooling us allā€¦
  • snapchat: xix.mia
    love
    been loving the story telling & how these episodes are laid out!
  • SusieSA
    Cream of the crop!
    Benjamin and his crew are the real deal. If you love an interesting story, a velvet voice, a factual account and true artistry- youā€™re going to love TWAU. First-class production and audio only bolster this perfect offering to the podcast genre. Iā€™ve been a fan since early in the game, TWAU was my first obsession. I only became interested in all the other podcasts because of this. Thank you Benjamin and all the TWAU crew for your hard work. Itā€™s nothing short of perfection. ā™„ļø
  • Toog 1970
    Top Notch!
    Benjamin is an amazing presenter and the cases are always interesting. I love that your podcast includes numerous pics. A very consistent, classy, interesting, and professionally done podcast!
  • Nullity
    Love!
    One of my favorite podcasts! Not only do I love the hosts voice, but I love his rhythmic speech, and itā€™s just so loving and soothing. I hang onto every word of his stories. Keep up the fantastic work!
  • Antoneknee
    Come get your crime fix
    I love this Pcast, nicely narratedā€¦Benji speaks clear and calm, heā€™s very understandable considering his accentā€¦I wouldnā€™t mind using him to narrate my life lolā€¦.he uses actual footage recordings so that tells me that he does his research, some stories are random and some are popular, all are detailed and interesting
  • DMcKelvy
    Well written and produced
    Consistently excellent storytelling and polished production. Appreciate the attention to detail and backstories of victims and perpetrators. Without opinions or commentary- creates clear, meaningful and memorable stories. Thank you!
  • Bschora
    Hold the syrup please.
    Not sure where all the mucky muck interviews come from but the episodes would go down a lot easier if much of it was eliminated. The stuff Iā€™m referring to are the victim impact statements, and the post-hearing comments by the murdererā€™s family members. Why? Because itā€™s always the same, itā€™s very personal, and waving them around in a podcast demeans them and drags the narrative into the dark depth of droll, syrupy, melodrama. Please donā€™t parade peopleā€™s morose pain for my entertainment. The story is enough. The gory details are enough. A victimā€™s impact statement is for judge and jury. I have subtracted a whole point for this. Otherwise, great work. When my UK friends try to tell me how violent Americans are, and how meek the British are in comparison, I love pointing them to They Walk Among Us.
  • Devine Ms D
    This is a good one
    Love the host, although the face doesn't match lol. Stories are new so far from same old cycled through, and love the single host scripted format, is my favorite. No opening chit-chat is awesome. The older cases are my favorite.
  • joshimatsu
    Response to a recent critique
    Completely disagree with the review that said 100-some-odd year old cases arenā€™t interesting. Crimes in different eras are intriguing in how they reflect the different times and tend to be wrapped in a bit more mystique as well due to there simply not being as much information available usually. This is something Casefile also showcases well. Itā€™d be boring if we only focused on current times.
  • piclklypoo
    Usually good
    True crime needs to be relatively current to be interesting. The more recent the crime, the more compelling the narrative. 100 year old crime cases are simply not interesting.
  • Spadalsky
    1/2 speed
    Listened to half an episodeā€¦ Can you speak any slower?!

    Such a great podcast! The narrators voice is fantastic for true crime! One of my faves!
  • Ambeeeree
    Best voice in true crime podcasting
    Always interesting cases, thoughtfully narrated with in-depth research. No blaring music, no chatter or banter, just a calm soothing voice with a beautiful accent. Well done!
  • Goddezz713
    Love it
    Amazing thank you love love love
  • TamiGC
    Good Work
    This is going to ruin it for some of you, but what they did in season 4 episode 31 was some brilliant! Well researched with good pacing. Being across the pond, I have to assume some of the multi-parters that it donā€™t need to be are probably notorious in the UK and not the US.
  • Luna Loper
    Captivating
    This is an absolute must listen to podcast. Stories I have never heard before unlike the same stories told over and over by different podcasters. Repeatedly binge worthy by choice.
  • eg portland
    One of the best serious true crime podcasts
    Great narration and writing. Lots of details. Serious and well researched.
  • Gin's Opinion
    Great descriptions
    I love this podcast! No unnecessary chit chat, just the story with the bonus of ā€œWhere are we nowā€ follow-up. Unique, informative and factualā€¦NICE!
  • Danny Boy100
    You have fulfilled . . .
    your new produceā€™s dream to become more gross, to reach the of dregs of humanity. I I can no longer listen.
  • planetNasa
    Informative
    First time listening, started at Season 6 episode 1-5. I donā€™t know how I never heard of them before but this was really well done. Very respectful and no speculations, just facts. Host does talk incredibly slow so I did have to bump it up to 1 1/4x speed and it was perfect. I do wish the episodes had case names instead of just ā€œseason x episode xā€ especially with multi part episodes but itā€™s not the end of the world. Really looking forward to getting caught up on these cases!
  • Joshuausher
    Great narration šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼
    Definitely subscribe.
  • mdh0071
    Listen on 1 1/4 speed
    Like many reviews, thereā€™s a slow go to this. Cadence is very measured, and pauses are unusually long. My solution? Listen at 1 1/14 speed! Rated 3 because: unless you have any (and I mean ANY) actual proof to the claim, can we please not inject ā€œitā€™s because the cops/neighbors/clergymen were clearly racistā€ into every. Single. Story. There are times when this is pertinent to a case. There are times race or sex actually play into a motive or crime. But for the love of true crime podcasts, not EVERY story is about it.
  • Carbs&Coffee
    Conflicted
    The cases are unique and interesting, I suppose thatā€™s the reason I can bare through the strange narration. It is a bit tough to get through some episodes, I wonder how this guy got the part. It would be wonderful to try different people, I know Iā€™m not the only listener with this issue!

    Consistently good & Bingetastic
    I keep coming back to this podcast because of steady flow of well researched cases delivered with excellent pace, timing and tone. The narrative always comes to a satisfying close where youā€™re not left wondering, instead you have an understanding of the gravity of these crimes and their context in the lives of everyday people. No wacky voices, loose ends, nor superficial storytelling of the same cases over and over. Best of all there are so many episodes so youā€™re not left hanging. Bingetastic.
  • Tiki McC
    Decent
    Well-written, but this guy has a really bizarre inflection. He sounds like a text-to-speech computer. Once you get past that, thereā€™s a good podcast.
  • jipisibili
    Paradoxical
    Well, you can sleep while youā€™re listening to the most horrific and painful casesā€¦
  • cmdm
    clear and conciseā€¦
    no chatter or banterā€¦just excellent and informative reportingā€¦
  • Zeeble Zorp
    Great show
    The story can be a little confusing at times, but one of the best narrative true crime podcasts.
