Great podcast
Host has a great voice, content is awesome.

HOOKED
I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and stumbled across Tapes from the Darkside. Season 1 really sucked me in, I think I listened to it within 2 days and I still think about it often. I have told multiple friends about this podcast and I highly recommend it! I am hooked and this podcast is 100% in my rotation

One of few worthy of patreon support
I found this podcast because of my interest in season 2’s case. It is so good, I binged all the past episodes. I’ll be supporting on patreon! Perfect pace, well researched, the storytelling and accompanying audio clips are great.
I I like to think about myself as someone who can empathize or even sympathize with just about everybody on any level with any line of thinking on any worldview. However this episode has me in tears because I could not bring myself to even try to go into the minds of someone with the ability to behave this way. Even the thoughts of the crowd willingly watching and participating was too much. Words fail me when I think of what Jesse went through while slowly dying..its agony to think about much less experience. There are no words to make this better. To comfort the people who loved him. The fact that this was so public and was PARTICIPATED in by children....I can't think of anything to say...I listened to this podcast a few days ago and when I think about it even for a moment, I cry. I've laid awake trying to sleep but instead I cry.. There are times throughout history when true evil is allowed to run free and surely this is one of those times. I thank you for educating me and keeping Jesse's story alive, but if I could go back and not listen, i would.

Where have you been?!
I just found this podcast and it’s so good, and really well done. I’ve been binging since I started. Amazing job!

Tapes from the Darkside!
This podcast is soooo good. Very in-depth, binge worthy, and the hosts voice is very soothing! Give it a listen you wont regret it!

Revelatory Brilliance
Haunting revelations into human psyche and rips the band aid off of shameful historic events …. his account of lynchings still has me running to the history books for further information and understanding of my American heritage….the narrator educates his audience with provocative insights and unscathed research

Wow
I just listened to my first episode and I’m hooked!! The style and narration of this podcast is truly special!!!! I will be binge listening over the weekend.. Thank you for the many hours of enjoyment this coming weekend!
I listen to a lot of serialised true crime podcast and even run my own true crime Instagram and I am blown away with how well these podcasts are produced! I started listened to Season 3 and it had me that hooked I jumped on and binge listened to Season 1 in less than a week. Can't wait for more episodes and more seasons. One of my top true crime podcasts!
From the very first episode, I was hooked. The hosts calm and inviting voice is easy to listen to, which is great considering the darker content. I greatly appreciate the amount of research that goes into each episode, and the fact that with each episode the quality gets better and better (not that it was bad to start with). Plus, did you see the last promo?! PERFECTION!
One of the best around! The voice, the atmosphere, the cases...it's all there.

EXTRAORDINARY
I’m an avid serial truecrime podcast listener. I’ve heard them ALL. The blend of primary source audio, coupled with well written narration is absolutely captivating. You are on your way to becoming one of the best. PLEASE continue your work! I will do my best to spread the word. 5/5 stars well deserved!
Tz delves deep each season and looks at each case from many different elements giving the fullest picture possible. He has a wonderful voice for podcasting and it just takes his show to the next level. This is a must listen for me.

Great Podcast
I really like your voice! I like that you include audio from 911 calls etc. Chilling and creepy! I also like that you cover some stories that I am not familiar with. There are several podcasts who all feature high profile cases or notorious people. Thank you for bringing something fresh and interesting!

Awesome!!
As another reviewer stated, I came after being recommended by Killafornia and I am so glad I did! Great job, guys!

Love it
Came over to check it out after my other podcast, Killafornia Dreaming recommended! 🥰❤️

Well done!!
I love podcasts like this that have a one case series and a podcaster with a soothing voice to fall asleep to. I thought season one was awesome but season two was even more incredibly moving. Thank you for shining a light on such horrific tragedies of our past and connecting it to what is still happening today.

So good 😊!
Excellent podcast and told so well. The narrator does a most excellent job. So happy I stumbled upon this gem. Keep up the great work. 👍🏼

This podcast, and I’m so glad I checked it out. I just binged the first season. This podcast is so reasonable, well- researched, and presented. I’m going to continue to listen.

Stands apart from other true crime shows
This show is so different than other true crimes I've listened to. This was almost like listening to something on the ID channel. The narration is fairly minimal, as he allows the audio clips to speak for themselves and tell the story from every perspective. You can tell a lot of time and research goes into bringing all the pieces together for each episode. If you are a fan of the ID channel, then you will love this podcast.

Season one !!!
I found this podcast through’s Cole’s podcast (tales by Cole) and I’m so glad I did. I binged the entire first season. The host was fantastic at providing audio clips and even went above and beyond finding the Dr. Phil and podcast segments!I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this case. I like how the host gives details and the facts of the case, but also gives his opinion and then explains why he feels that way. I can’t wait for more seasons!

Just wow. Season 1 is a fantastic binge
season 1 goes deep into one case. It’s very well researched and in addition to just the host commentary, there is a lot of primary audio. (I think that’s what it’s called) news segments, interviews, segments of TV shows, etc. It’s like they’ve scraped the Internet for everything relevant and you get to hear at all. I love not having to stop and try and find something on google to supplement my listening. Five stars. Also, you can get extras for only $1/month on Patreon and my emailed questions about how to add the feed to different podcast apps were answered immediately. I’m sad to be almost done with the first season.
I enjoy the coverage of the cases so far.

Season One Amazing
This is one of the very best true crime podcast Stories I’ve ever listened to. Season 2 is even more powerful and excellent research
The first season hooked me right away. Audio quality is amateur at first, but improves with each subsequent episode. This story is expertly crafted and the cliffhangers left me eager for more. Impressed by the depth of research, music choices, and the sound mixing. Very excited for Season 2. Keep up the good work.

Amazing I recommend
The time that was put into this is what draws me to to true crime cases. I can't wait to see what else they come out with. I hope he does more cases in this same kind of format. I can't believe his channel doesn't have more subscribers. I recommend everyone to give this channel a shot you won't regret it

Amazing
Love this show it is one of my top 5 podcasts Can’t wait for more episodes. Everything just follows along perfectly along with the music. Tz thank you for sharing your amazing talent with a bunch of strangers. I am so glad I looked it to your podcast when Jack Luna mentioned it in one of his episodes. Much blessings 🤗🤗

Impressed
Super interesting topic in season 1. Tragic. TZ definitely did thorough research. I’ll be honest, at first I did not love TZ’s tone of voice. But over time I have found it actually very interesting and there is something hypnotic about it. Keep up the good work TZ!

Support small podcasts
I feel that as a small startup podcast, they have done a fantastic job. Not everyone comes into podcasting with tons of equipment and a huge production team. Aside from that I feel TZ covers the story well and has had empathy for the family- where as a lot of others are just doing it for the clout. I throughly enjoyed season one and can’t wait to make time for season two!

I binged it all in two days
It left me wanting more too. I am so impressed with the quality of the audio, the music choices, the mixing and the pacing of the show, especially given that it’s a small operation. Can’t wait for season 2!
