  • Love This Podcast!!!

    I heard about Dark Downeast from Crime Junkie, and I am so happy that I decided to give it a chance. The way these stories are told makes me have a visual of who they are and how they acted. It makes them so much more than what their ending was. That is what I enjoy the most about this podcast.

  • Music in background-annoying

    Stories drag on needlessly long too much extra information and ad lib. Too much from interviewee’s instead of podcaster so imbalanced. Podcaster can be overly dramatic and inappropriately dramatic at times. Story content is good though but needs to be more to the point. Agree with another reviewer, just talk naturally.
