Customer Reviews
Essential
The only podcast I feel I have to listen to the minute it drops. When I listen to this….I know I’m not crazy and I’m not alone. We should question the way the world works. Swindled just proves it.
Seriously one of the best, most exposing “true crime” podcasts ever
I probably won’t do a great job of explaining just how fantastic I think the podcast is. He dives deep, with recordings of events, and tells the story completely - all figures involved are scrutinized equally. It’s such a refreshing, entertaining, and educating ~1 hour. Thank you!
Ouch.
This would be five stars BUT. I’ve been listening for a long time-great show. Was thinking I should become a Valued Listener to contribute to the greatness that is this show. But after tonight I’m not so sure. *I am not a trigger warning type of person* but the Tyson Foods episode just released could have benefited greatly from a warning that there would be sounds of a very human sounding pig…screaming in pain. I was across the room and couldn’t hit pause fast enough. So thanks, now I get to go to bed with the horrifying sound in my head.
