Do a six part series on the Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs you coward.

This use to be one of my favorite podcasts. I appreciate learning about the cases that are outside the US. In the past year or so, it seems far less time is spend on the happenings prior going to court (background context, victims, community, investigation, perpetrator arrest) and now too much time is spent simply stating the back-&-forth narrative in the courtroom. The courtroom part used to be maybe 20% of an episode, now it feels more like 65% of an episode. It drags on too long. I liked the format of episodes better previously. The podcast is still good for hearing about cases that are new to me, but now I listen to it when I have no unplayed episodes on all my other podcasts.

I used to subscribe to this show, but it no longer appeals to me as the cases are now more like human interest than true crime. I mentioned this in Patreon comments and they ORDERED me to stop making comments! I apologised and said I only meant to give feedback. I was never rude. Very thin-skinned people. 😬 Anyway, it is well-produced if their topics appeal to you so try it.

I really love the work done by this podcast!! And I do so much that while I’m able I put my money where my mouth is…as we say here in the US. While I can which may not be much longer, I’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 it’s: TRUE Crime-ness in all it’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 resolved… Whatever needs to happen; does. Except when it’s a bit too real and justice goes horribly wrong…etc, etc. Convictions are unsafe; sentences are too short… too long, too harsh; guilty die before judgement can be passed: life; death

Have to listen at 1.25x though.

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 isn’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, it’s one of my bedtime podcasts because of that. But the doesn’t mean I’m not listening to the content, and it’s irritating when it’s just repeating the same few sentences over and over.

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.

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.

I’m so tired of getting “early access shows” I’m about to delete the podcast all together.

This show is great because there isn’t 10 minutes of banter between hosts at the beginning who think they’re funny. He presents the case straight off in a very well researched way. This is the kind of crime podcast I like. It’s very much like Casefile, my other favorite podcast.

My absolute FAVORITE True Crime Podcast! Benjamin and company are INCREDIBLE…, hands down ! Thank you for the great 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.

His voice, the way he tells the story plus all the research they’ve done to bring us the full story is absolutely 5 stars! Whenever I’ve caught up on episodes, I start over and listen again! Absolutely worth trying. You won’t be disappointed.

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).

Whats with the weird voice? spoils a great show.

One of my favorites! His voice is soothing and appropriately non-dramatic.

Her voice puts me to sleep, no enthusiasm in it!!!

Love this podcast, love the host’s soothing voice.

Otherwise it’s basically hypnosis

Worthy of paying for, well done, this N.A. of content, thank you!

It’s a good podcast, but the fact that I had to speed it up just annoyed me, especially because he’s super slow, but interviews and everything else are regular speed.

So good

I can’t understand how people are praising the hosts’s voice. I actually thought it was a computer at first. I had to speed the sound up to 1.25x and ultimately, sadly won’t be able to listen to this show due to slow robot host. Maybe AI is fooling us all…

been loving the story telling & how these episodes are laid out!

Benjamin and his crew are the real deal. If you love an interesting story, a velvet voice, a factual account and true artistry- you’re going to love TWAU. First-class production and audio only bolster this perfect offering to the podcast genre. I’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. It’s nothing short of perfection. ♥️

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!

One of my favorite podcasts! Not only do I love the hosts voice, but I love his rhythmic speech, and it’s just so loving and soothing. I hang onto every word of his stories. Keep up the fantastic work!

I love this Pcast, nicely narrated…Benji speaks clear and calm, he’s very understandable considering his accent…I wouldn’t mind using him to narrate my life lol….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

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!

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 I’m referring to are the victim impact statements, and the post-hearing comments by the murderer’s family members. Why? Because it’s always the same, it’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 don’t parade people’s morose pain for my entertainment. The story is enough. The gory details are enough. A victim’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.

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.

Completely disagree with the review that said 100-some-odd year old cases aren’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. It’d be boring if we only focused on current times.

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.

Listened to half an episode… Can you speak any slower?!

Such a great podcast! The narrators voice is fantastic for true crime! One of my faves!

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!

Amazing thank you love love love

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 don’t need to be are probably notorious in the UK and not the US.

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.

Great narration and writing. Lots of details. Serious and well researched.

I love this podcast! No unnecessary chit chat, just the story with the bonus of “Where are we now” follow-up. Unique, informative and factual…NICE!

your new produce’s dream to become more gross, to reach the of dregs of humanity. I I can no longer listen.

First time listening, started at Season 6 episode 1-5. I don’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 “season x episode x” especially with multi part episodes but it’s not the end of the world. Really looking forward to getting caught up on these cases!

Definitely subscribe.

Like many reviews, there’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 “it’s because the cops/neighbors/clergymen were clearly racist” 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.

The cases are unique and interesting, I suppose that’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 I’m not the only listener with this issue!

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 you’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 you’re not left hanging. Bingetastic.

Well-written, but this guy has a really bizarre inflection. He sounds like a text-to-speech computer. Once you get past that, there’s a good podcast.

Well, you can sleep while you’re listening to the most horrific and painful cases…
