Love when it doesn’t have 911 calls

My idea is this: make White Label episodes for those of us that are babies and need less hardcore stories (no torture, cannibalism or kid stuff) The Ferrar family episode was absolutely fire and the lack of jarring 911 recordings was sooo appreciated! From one trauma baby to another, I appreciate what you do, if white label ever becomes a thing I’ll be the first subscriber haha

Best storytelling I’ve ever heard!

Fabulous detail, the sound and speed of his voice, cadence, just great! If I had money I would be top level patreon! Make them longer for us poor folk!

The best

I enjoy unlike some the amount of audio he includes into his podcast, like he’s stated before other shows throws in a lot of useless info not relevant. I do personally wish the episodes were a little longer but I enjoy the content!

Long time listener

I’ve been listening to Obscura since the beginning. I think the content is great. It’s cases I’ve never heard of. This podcast is always on my first to listen to list.

I want to like…

but the episodes lack tension because we know who did it from the beginning.

Mr Justin

Just wanted you to know I found this podcast a couple years ago and it went on my endless list of things to try. I finally started listening last Monday and I’ve binged you for a week straight now. You’re kind, caring, thoughtful, and deep dive into these cases. I’ve had a rough year myself- as a victim, but you do this right. Thank you for telling stories and maintains integrity while entertaining and insightful. Keep doing what you’re doing.

You are cool.

I appreciate the Black Label freebies you share with us freeloaders and how your voice sounds. Thank you!

Amazing & Original

First of all….you have the best podcast voice out there. Im commented after listening to the sniper episode released on 4/23. This is such a nugget of gold to find. At the very end the newscaster says he says he had a degenerative disease. And then it clicked - he was suffering pain already. Bawled my eyes because I know the desperation of that feeling. Love all your stuff. Its so different from any other podcast. You only add commentary when needed and I love it. 5 stars!!!!

The best podcast of its kind

THANK YOU 🙏 for the amazing and important interview about AVALON. And THANK YOU MOIRA! you are so brave and so amazing because you were given such evil but you’ve given back such love and help for others. I truly appreciate you giving the interview – you helped me Only you were brave enough to do it and ***we’ve got your back *** You can hear the compassion and intelligence in the hosts voice. This is just so well done. All those ego driven true crime podcasts need to take a lesson from this man—Quit laughing at your own jokes and maybe give the subject matter the dignity it deserves.

Mostly boring

I hardly listen to this podcast even though I’ve been subscribed for a couple years. I didn’t realize the host and his social media following are S&S haters. Tells me a lot about them. I’m happy to not have this show clogging up my feed anymore. Had to revise down by another star when I read the other reviews. I try not to support leftists whenever I can.

Great job further accelerating the moral panic!

Don’t do this please. You’re actually only putting more vulnerable folks in danger

S&S

I still love Mike and tried to give this one a shot. It was a no go for me.

Thank you for this

Your research, your delivery, your tact, the little bits of yourself that you sprinkle into some episodes, all while staying mindful of the listeners and our tolerance levels…. Just top tier all the way around. Thank you for this podcast!!

Episode 98

As usual, excellent episode! I feel the way you do…Tony had true remorse…rare with psychopaths.. I feel 15 years is light…but like you said, he already did 15, and I agree the next 15 may be easier for him. This was a rare case of guilt and remorse, for sure! Thanks so much!

The best + sexiest voice on Apple Podcasts

Great, straightforward storytelling generally with a dark twist- no host banter and hands down the best/most relaxing male voice streaming on Apple

What’s that sound?

Great show. Not a fan of the sound of the wood fire in the background.

Great

Really like the show but would like to know why episodes continue to repeat. When notified of a new episode, I select to listen only to find that the episode is one that I have listened to before.
