UPDATED BIWEEKLY

They say the Devil’s in the details, but when conspiracies captivate our imaginations, we often overlook the real devils walking among us. From the creators of the hit podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill comes a new show, Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, which takes you back to the Satanic Panic that gripped America in the 1980s and 90s. This limited series explores how hysteria gripped parents and teens through cautionary tales like Go Ask Alice, influenced notorious criminal cases like the West Memphis Three, and catapulted the political agenda of the Moral Majority. Join as we seek to understand how this wave of panic devastated innocent lives and diverted the church’s attention from the evil lurking in its own pews.

Great information but lose the background music

As an older listener, the background music is way too loud and completely unnecessary. I’ll keep listening but hope the music can be adjusted or completely removed.
Good stuff, rough audio

Really enjoying the story telling and the topic the podcast is centered on. The sound engineering needs some work with audio clips playing out of nowhere, inconsistent volume, and strange audio distortion at different points. It has a lot of potential!
Fantastic, needs tech adjustment

Great but audio levels are not right. Hard to hear dialogue
Poor Audio Mixing

The story is great, but the audio mix makes it very difficult to listen to and understand. Trying to mix the bass and treble helps a bit, but the change in volume for each segment also hurts the audio. Would definitely gain 2 stars for quality audio editing.
