Love it!!
So good- no sugar coating here

My new favorite
I love it all. From the voice to the stories to the fire. It’s my new favorite. I don’t follow pod drama but I see alot of haters in these reviews. Don’t listen to them, they’re crazy.

“Welcome Listener”
I love his intro “Welcome listener. I’m glad you’re here” It helps me settle into the the story, and love the crackling fire. He covers interesting cases, most I wasn’t aware of...Sound bites too from victims and perpetrators. I recommend for sure.

The Best Out There
This is the most personal, in-depth narrative of true crime out there. Justin is a brilliant storyteller who truly immerses himself into every episode. I’ve listened to dozens of true crime podcasts and there is none better than Obscura. Well done!

All 5 Stars
I am loving this, I have no idea how every reviewer isn’t 5 star! I’m stuck binging every episode. Will recommend to my family, who is also big crime everything!

Covered in awesome sauce!
HOOKED 🙋🏽‍♀️ Justin retells these stories so well that I can picture it all (which isn’t always a good thing). But, he’s my new favorite podcast and I’m trying not to binge listen to them all at once! So glad I heard an ad for it and decided to try it! Awesome job guys!

Great show!
I LOVE Justin’s voice. I love that he’s a real person covering some crazy stuff. This is the only pod I’m apart of patreon! Love it!

This is my favorite true crime podcast!
This podcast was recommended to me by a friend and I am so happy. The writing is great and it has some audio which combined makes a great podcast. I am very sensitive to noises and voices and I LOVE the host’s voice. I highly recommended this podcast. I would give it 100 stars if I could.

My favorite
Justin has the perfect voice. It’s a shame to see him attacked by another podcast.

Definitely check it out
This podcast is amazing; don’t believe the bots giving 1-star ratings! I love the way the stories are told, and the content is more -obscure- than other true crime podcasts.

Fantastic Podcast!
I just recently got into this podcast and absolutely fell head over heels for it! Between the production and delivery, it's just an all around great show. The host is genuine and really respectful to the victims involved and very informative. I highly recommend this podcast to any true crime buff!

I’m in love
Never heard of this one before. Now I’m hooked. Just wow.

This podcast scared me
I’ve never been disturbed from a podcast but this one did it. Congrats.

Love the stories
I know most of the stories, but the narrator makes them sound new. I don’t mind his narration. I feel like there are stories on here that I hadn’t heard of before.

Excellent podcast
I really want to thank you for continuing with this podcast. Your social commentary is scientific and empathetic. You are awesome and the people that have given you a 1 star are crazy in my opinion. Keep it up!!!!

You talked about your life changing in an instant. I know for a fact how it affects the rest of your life when you are kidnapped and raped. When I hear these stories I get thrown straight back into my own horror and I feel for any woman who has lived to tell their story. It makes you stronger but definitely more fearful of life as you know at anytime some monster can just pop up and take you Thank you for your sensitivity and really great content podcast. This sure is one of the best I have listened to and your voice is very soothing Keep up the good work

Interesting content and the narrator voice is soothing.
I like to listen to this podcast while driving and also when I’m cleaning the house and stuff. But I also sometimes listen as I’m falling a sleep. It’s something about his voice that’s sooo soothing to me! Most ppl either LOVE it or HATE IT. I think most ppl LOVE IT! Thanks for doing these😊

Great show!
I’ve been a true crime junkie for as long as I can remember. This is by far my favorite podcast in the genre. The show is deeply interesting, with a keen attention to detail, while still being very respectful to victims and their families. Five stars, and would give it more if I could!

Binge worthy
I heard of this channel threw Crime Junkie. She said “if you’re looking for something a bit more gory, giving details we would likely sugar coat give them a listen” and here I am. I work 12 hour shifts and I very much enjoy your hour long podcasts, your own real and personal tidbits, and the chills that come with some of the details or clips added. I shared this channel with my Wife and has recently been the topic of almost every conversation during our breaks or drives home from work.

You really should have a higher rating!
I really enjoy your style of storytelling! Please keep it up. I’m gonna donate tomorrow (as usual, it’s 3am and I’m listening to your podcast).

Awesome job Justin
You are doing a great job Justin. Keep up your unique story telling creativity and I’ll keep recommending your podcasts to everyone I know, you rock it the Justin way!

That guy sounds like such a p*ssy. What a coward. He probably couldn’t get anything unless he forced it on ppl. What a d bag.

Awesome
I love the narrators voice and I love this podcast more because of how he chooses to tell these true crimes. He tells it with extra love and care for the victim/victims. I never feel like he is only entertaining me, I feel like he really wants you to think about these crimes and every person involved and learn something from it about humanity. You can hear how much skill, time, and care that he and his team put in to each episode. Signed a new listener slowly working her way up from episode one🖤 You do a great job!

Mike Boudet is a jerk
Have some stars ;)

Fantastic podcast
I’ve been listening to many true crime podcasts on and off for years now and this one absolutely takes the cake. Justin is a great host! It seems he and his team take very serious interest in the cases themselves and tell the story with care and grace, often with a side of sadness and remorse, recognizing how awful the events are. Keep it up 10/10!

Wish I’d Found This Sooner
I appreciate that Justin tells the story without adding his opinion. The bias and politics of the host/writer will always ruin a True Crime Podcast for me. The story should be about the victim and their life, loved ones, etc. Not the narcissistic host. Well done Justin.

Fabulous
I love his voice. He gets right to the point but still has compassion for victims. Great story teller. Thank you!

Murder + Details
Great show, uses narration and media clips to tell the story. I like that Justin doesn’t spare the details of the stories.

Excellent
I’m so stoked I found this podcast as I’ve burned through most of the ones we all know. Obscura is well researched and articulated with a good balance of narration and audio clips. Super good one!

Love this host
One of the greatest! Give it a whirl
