Wanted to Love It

I am a true fan of Jack Luna so I tried this podcast. I have never heard a podcast with Mr. Boudet before so did not know what to expect from him. I had to quit by episode 11 as I found it impossible to concentrate and listen when Mr. Boudet spoke. I just personally really disliked his delivery and monotone voice. So when a show is going back and forth between hosts, it’s impossible to follow the storyline when you only listen to 50%. Otherwise I thought the show was well researched and had fascinating topics.

A Powerful & Original True Crime Viewpoint

Monstruo takes some of the most horrendous true crime stories — most of which I have heard before through other podcasts or documentaries — and deliver them through one of the most interesting and captivating ways I have ever heard. Whether you know about these stories yet or not, I can guarantee that you haven’t heard them delivered like THIS before.
I love it.
Monstruo is the first time I’ve come across Jack Luna & Tyler Bell’s work, and they’re both phenomenal at what they do... although the #1 reason I began listening (and now can’t stop) is due to my love of anything & everything involving Mike Boudet.
Mike’s hard work, determination & perseverance — not to mention the time and effort he pours into every single episode of the podcasts he works on — makes for an addictive form creativity, always leaving the listeners wanting more.
Mike, Jack, Tyler, and everyone who’s part of Monstruo go where so many other podcasts won’t — delivering true crime through the perspective of the perpetrators. This kind of insight into the mindset & psychology of why some of the world’s most horrendous perpetrators are the way they are & do the horrible things they do makes for a truly interesting and original true crime podcast.
Monstruo has a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

To everyone involved with the creation of Monstruo: Thank you for the countless hours of hard work you put into bringing us this podcast. It really is a collection of masterpieces that do not get nearly enough credit or praise

Yucky

Mike boudet is just the world’s biggest loser. He is 4 brain cells away from being disabled and 2 poor decisions away from being the very people he writes about - just a complete creep who doesn’t know how to use most words properly. This is show is so cringe. Someone preemptively arrest this bloated man-child before he actually hurts someone. Also, I love how much negative feedback bugs him, hahahaha!
