Sword and Scale is a true crime podcast covering the dark underworld of crime and the criminal justice system’s response to it. The first episode launched January 1st, 2014 and feature stories of murder, abduction, rape, and even more bizarre forms of crime. It’s the purest form of true-crime where the raw uncensored audio tells the story. Everything from 911 calls to court testimony, interviews with victims and sometimes with perpetrators give listeners a 360 degree look at the seedy underbelly of human nature and so-called civilized society. Told from an everyman's point of view, Sword and Scale goes beyond the news clips and the sensationalist headlines to hold up a mirror to the audience and ask, "Is it us versus them? Or are we just like 'them' too?" Sword and scale proves that the worst monsters are real.

When Jessica Lynn Reale was 13-years-old, she was timid and untrusting. In early October of 1997, she mustered the courage to approach her 8th grade math teacher, a woman she’d only known for a number of weeks, to tell her a huge secret she had been keeping. Jessica told her teacher that she couldn’t go back home because someone had poured bleach all over her. This situation warranted a CPS report, but the involvement of the FBI or Sacramento County Law Enforcement was unexpected.

You made me love radio, again.
I just ended a week long of binge-listening to every episode of this first season. And like I said on the title of the review, you made me love radio -even if it is in this very peculiar way of making radio- again.
I'm a Journalism and Audiovisual Arts students, and I dedicated 2 semesters of my life to writing, producing and recording radio for a class, and I must say, I hated every minute of it. Nonetheless, you made me change my mind.
The scripts are very complex, which I very much appreciate, having written scripts for radio myself, before; I can tell you enjoy producing these shows, because you love the topic you chose for your podcasts, and if you didn't, you just would invest any man-hours into the thorough research you clearly have to do; the score is just awesome and, bottom line is, you made me realize that the hate I held towards radio wasn't because of what the media is, but because I hadn't found a topic I'm passionate enough to enjoy producing, namely, exactly what you are making with Sword and Scale.
On another note, I wanted to ask if you had studied journalism at any point in you life, because your interviews are very well done and -I'm talking out of experience here- you need training to be able to do them on a certain level of quality. Also, you have a great voice for radio, which is another thing I enjoyed about your podcasts. Anyways, congratulations on you show and I can't wait for season 2. :)
P.S.: Sorry on this being so long and probably just a brick to read. :P
