REAL was the first Podcast I ever listened to. Naomi tells true crime stories with a level of empathy that is genuinely moving. You can hear the care and respect in every episode . She never treats cases as entertainment, but as real lives that mattered. The way she articulates the details is thoughtful and clear, helping you truly understand what happened without ever feeling overwhelmed or desensitised. This podcast stays with you long after you’ve finished listening. True crime with heart.
Naomi presents each case factually, impartially and evidence-based. She is a delight to listen to and no nonsense or insensitive comments, like I’ve found on some other podcasts. I very much recommend going back to the deep dive episodes Naomi does, well worth the listen.
Naomi does a brilliant job of bringing these true crime cases to our attention, with care and compassion. All her episodes are very well researched and her deep dives in particular are gripping. Listening in from New Zealand. Thank you Naomi.
This podcast is one of the best true crime . Naomi has a voice I can listen to, it calm and precise it makes it good to listen to as some true crime podcasts I just can’t listen to as it’s not professionally done. It’s very informative and factual. I fully recommend listening to this podcast.
Well researched and presented. Absolute 5 stars. I listen to all the true crime podcasts, and can be quite picky - very rarely give 5 stars. Well done!
