I like this podcast; please stop playing music while you and your guests are speaking so I can continue listening, for me the music is really distracting and detracts from what you’re saying.
I love the length of the podcasts and the podcaster’s delivery and subject matter. It does sound at like times like she’s pushing an agenda but overall entertaining listen.
Hello! I enjoy this podcast. The stories are well and respectfully told. however the newer episodes seem to have an almost over the top ‘emotional’ voice done by the host. Like really emphasising or pushing certain words in an emotional tone sounding like she might cry which I find makes me want to turn off.
I don’t think this is the natural speed of Kylie Low’s voice. The playback is so fast that it is hard to listen to, and the story gets lost. It is an unnatural speed. Not everyone needs to speak at hyper speed.
new to the show, love the idea of listening to crime from a local area of East Coast. Being from New Jersey, I would love to hear more stories from the lower of the 13 colonies😅

Dark Downeast centers on true crime stories from New England with a focus on decades-old cases and contemporary investigations. The host elevates victims and families through meticulous storytelling, respectful interviews, and a documentary-style production that often includes updates from detectives and insiders. Listeners are drawn to ethical journalism, regional history, and cases that remain unresolved, with a strong emphasis on honoring those affected and highlighting justice trajectories.
