Popular Reviews of Dark Histories

Ben puts a tremendous amount of work and care into his podcast, a true gem in the world of podcasts. He presents factual accounts with such great integrity and authenticity. He brings to life past dark tales whose facts as he says, "are often worse than fiction." If you love longer podcasts with a bit of history or something more, Ben will catch your ear first listen.

The stories that are presented with this podcast are not only uniquely tailored to fit the genre presented but also are produced in a way that is not only an immensely accurate telling of facts but still holds onto the fantastic nature of what ever story is being told and truly highlights the story line and pertinent details with out being dry or heavy in any way. This along with the amazing work on the over all sound of the show, the music, and the "one on one" style of discussion at the end makes this show top of its class through out the many genres it falls into and is well worth a listen even if its not the type of show you normally go for.

I love the details that Ben goes into and his take on the stories at the end. Even if skeptical, the topics covered are interesting and the research well done. I look forward to the new episodes and hope to hear many, many more!

Greatly enjoying Ben's work. Off beat history presented in an engaging style and an innate curiousness that keeps you coming back for more.What's not to like?

Smart and atmospheric. One of my personal favorites.

Found this show about year ago and absolutely fell in love with it. Ben does an incredible job of researching and actually delving into the historical facts of each story, whether they be mysteries, ghost stories or straight up serial killers who got caught. He always leaves things up to the listener and isn't biased in his presentation. It's a very refreshing format among all those podcasts that try to present all their ghost stories as "absolute fact" or just regurgitate popular falsehoods. Definitely a huge recommend for anyone loving the more macabre side of life.

A great show. The host puts a lot of work into researching each topic. The writing is clear and often atmospheric, and the sound quality is at the highest level. The host's delivery is intelligent and engaging. I've noticed over time that other "supernatural" podcasts tend to lag behind this one, and often cover stories that Dark Histories has done years before. It's the best of its kind.
