Awesome Podcast
I love the way you are walked through this story from beginning to end. What I look for in a podcast is minimal chatter while having tact. The narrator does an awesome job at telling this heartbreaking story, maintaining sensitivity and for the most part staying on neutral ground. Each episode had me on the edge of my seat for the next one. I look forward to future stories.

Top 5
The narrator’s smoky voice and the new-wave electronic soundtrack set the perfect scene for these stories. This podcast is easily in my top 5 of all time!

Do yourself a favor
And play this show! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it knowing the host has a genuine interest and cares about this case. Not only that, can we all appreciate how much work he put into this audio?

Amateur production but important story
Narrator and production amateur in delivery but well researched and content is strong. This is an important case in line with Alissa Turney’s disappearance. Be prepared to be confronted with the frustration of dealing with a true sociopathic personality.

Top notch
This podcast is absolutely incredible, and deserves such a bigger audience. There are a lot of podcasts that cover one case per season and it usually has filler information to fill time. Tapes does not have this, every single second of this show is paramount to the story. The host is amazing and I have had a privilege of talking and working with him. Don’t just listen to this podcast, share it to everyone you know. It’s just so good.

Excellent
Five stars for having a sexy host 🎉
Edit: Look, I’ve gotten to know TZ beyond his beauty and I’ll leave a real review this time 😂
Awesome host, awesome podcast with a creative method. Tapes From the Darkside keeps it fresh between articulate monologue, clips from interviews, shows, and other podcasts. This guy knows how to take us on a deep dive and he sure as HELL knows how to tell a story. Keep up the awesome work, I look forward to seeing this show grow and can’t wait for what case you’ll cover next!

Great to binge
Great pod with a gripping case. It’s told in a very easy to follow narrative with actual audio from tapes and actual audio.
Follow up: I wrote the above review before finishing the first season. Having listened to each episode a few times (I listen at night and fell asleep) I feel I can offer a bit more depth. This pod follows the case of a missing Colorado boy and uses actual audio tapes (thus the name) to move the story forward and bring the horror to life. Each episode is covered by one host with a great voice and the host doesn’t make the events about themselves. As an avid podcast listener I fully recommend Tapes for those who are interested in true crime and don’t particularly want a lot of blather from the host/hosts. The story speaks for itself and the pod allows it to unfold in a way that will have you binging. I will also mention that the case is given the utmost respect and dignity for the family and doesn’t in anyway give you that icky feeling you get from other pods that just look to be a tourist in a family’s nightmare.

This is such a great podcast. The host, Tz has a calming voice amidst such utter chaos of a story. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Season 2!

Instant subscriber!
We are both in a fb group for a different podcast and I saw his plug, lol. Gave it a listen and subscribed on the first episode! His voice is awesome first off! But adding in actual audio is so cool. Great job, man!

Sound design
In addition to be an outstanding podcast the sound design is superior by far to anything I’ve ever heard and it contributes to the whole creepy vibe I swear sometimes I thought someone was standing behind me!

You’ll be screaming “NARCISSIST!”
I was approached with this podcast, and since I love all things dark and true crime, I had to give “Tapes from the Darkside” a listen. #1 the name sold me as darkside was a school nickname I was given, and #2 if you were a fan of the original Unsolved Mysteries with Robert Stack, this podcast will give you TOTAL Unsolved Mysteries vibes. I was so emotionally all over the place listening to this, and found myself just saying “classic narcissist” about Mark. His deflections were unreal. The fact he skated by for so long is infuriating. I really enjoyed this podcast. I had to google halfway through what happens to this deadbeat dad just for some peace of mind while I continued to listen. That’s the sign of a great podcast in my opinion. It bothered me so much I had to google the case. Great job Tz!

Very well done!
I had asked around a Facebook group for a few true crime podcast recommendations in which the very friendly host of this one reached out to see if I would mind listening to his. I think most people might turn a blind eye to newer podcasts, but in this case, I’m glad I didn’t. I just recently started it and got hooked from the beginning. He doesn’t chit chat/banter about daily life, doesn’t use humor, mainly uses tapes/audio in which he doesn’t frequently interrupt unless he feels the listener might be confused and leaves just enough info at the end of each episode to keep you on the edge of your seat. He digs down deep for his information/research to be able to present us with all adequate and precise information regarding the case. The dedication, time and effort he puts into making this podcast is truly awesome. It is easily a new favorite of mine, I highly recommend!

Excellent Podcast
The first season of this true crime podcast covers the tragic murder of 13 year old Dylan Redwine. Dylan disappeared during a court ordered visit with his father. This bizarre story is told by a single narrator with the aid of contemporaneous recordings such as phone calls and a TV interviews. It’s thoroughly researched and well worth your time.
