Popular Reviews of Sword and Scale

Great podcast!! Only one I chose to support because I never want Mike to quit making new episodes. Thanks so much!!!

LOL Wtf is up with the rage of these 1 star reviewers?? Yes, it's true. The mean scary host snacks on fragile egos, and shows no remorse triggering the easily offended. So, if you resort to the fetal position often, or tend to get offended on other people's behalf because you are convinced that you - and you alone can restore equality and peace, one tantrum at a time - then don't listen to this podcast...the host is an asshole ;)

Sword and Scale is an eloquently produced true crime podcast. Mike does an excellent job of immersing the listener into the story. I cannot imagine the time spent on research and interviews and editing. I wait on the edge of my seat for the episodes to be released every other week. To date, I have not found a better podcast in the genre! If you like an episode also check out Sword and Scale rewind where Lynette Carolla and Stephanie wilder-taylor give commentary and delve deeper into each story.

I love this podcast! The content, the production...everything is first rate. And Mike has a great voice for podcasting; it's amazing to me that I can listen to him discussing a, well, not exactly uplifting topic and yet not get stressed by the subject matter. I learn something new in just about every episode, too, which surprised me. I initially thought I would just be hearing about criminal cases like so many other podcasts out there, but because Mike puts so much thought into the content and research he always gives that little tidbit I find intriguing. S&S is one of the few podcasts I make sure to listen to right away when new episodes come out. Thank you, S&S Team!

I've been listening to this podcast for over a year now. I just discovered podcasts at that time and this was the first one that I started listening to. I think that this is one of the most well rounded podcast that is themed around true crime. Other podcasts often give praise to this podcast as inspiration for starting their own podcast. Well produced, outstanding sound quality, and engaging content. All the criteria met for a podcast, as well as a companion podcast that reviews previous episodes, I can't think of another podcast that has achieved this. Outstanding and a pioneer in true crime podcast game.

This podcast is fantastic from episode one. The production quality is amazing and every episode is thoughtful and well-researched. This is the podcast to listen to if you are a true crime junkie. Mike Boudet, the host, interviews experts, witnesses, lawyers, victims, and first responders to give the audience as much information as possible to form a well-rounded opinion. The podcast is not without an element of humor. Mike Boudet will interject, upon occasion, with humerous quips, glib remarks, or sarcastic commentary.

AMAZING PODCAST, best yet. I listen to a lot but Mikes is different, it's very raw and real. The worse monsters are real and he's shown us that! Love the host he's very open minded and understand both sides of any story he's commenting on. Great work on the show :) also love the rewind series and being able to go back and review them a little more in depth. Thank you always for the extras you post I know it can be hard but yet you still manage all of it!!! Love from TX!

I am an accountant working for a public accounting firm and the days/weeks get LONG during tax season so I like to have things to listen to while I work. Sword and Scale is one of the best produced podcasts I listen to and is by far my favorite. I recommend it to everyone I know that shows even the slightest interest in true crime.

Used to be a fan but the actions of its toxic host have changed my mind.

this was the first podcast I ever listened to. I love the quality, really enjoy the sound bytes and interviews, and the opening is really great too. I'm always excited for the next episode.

I've been addicted since Episode 1. I love this podcast. Each episode is done well and professionally. Mike Boudet does his very best to present every side of the situation, It's creepy and I love it!

One of the top ten podcasts out there today. Don't listen to the hate groups. This show is the real deal.

I stumbled upon Sword and Scale on the iTunes charts as I was trying to find a way to get through my long work day. I have always been interested in true crime and was immediately engrossed with the podcast as I began listening. I have now listened to every single episode, twice, and recommended the show to numerous family and friends. The way Mike lays out the story line along with interviews, police interrogations, personal commentary, 911 calls, professional incites, etc keep me always coming back for more. I will always remain loyal to this podcast, with or without the extra perks you receive for being a Patreon member. I support this podcast because I love the content and believe in Mike as a host. All in all, wonderful podcast.

Great podcast and content. Yet to be disappointed with a single episode. Can’t get enough. Thanks Mike

Amazing podcast. Fuck the recreationally outrage idiots.

I absolutely love this show! Mike is a wonderful story-teller and you can tell that he works really hard to present the information in new and interesting ways. This podcast was the start of my podcast addiction. This one is the best!

This is THE podcast that got me subscribing to podcasts. My sister got me into it, and we both blew through the archived episodes in record time! We've each recruited friends who have become hooked as well. I'm now an avid listener of many different podcasts, but the production and editing of Sword and Scale is unmatched. The stories Mike covers are fascinating, yet completely chilling. His research is sometimes painfully thorough! I feel like I am receiving the information from an objective source, and when Mike is able, he pulls in sources that may have been actual witnesses or are able to talk about events first-hand. It has been clear to me from the start of listening to this podcast that Mike is passionate about true crime, and he wants to share that passion with others to raise awareness of some of the heinous crimes to which the general public may never have been exposed. Each episode is compelling in its own way. For those reasons, I simply cannot stop listening. Keep up the good work, Mike, and as always, stay safe!

OK guys some topics are way out there like the one I think episode 21 the puppeteer . where i literally was shaking and had night mare since this was very close to where i Live.. Otherwise i can't agree more about Florida its a Everyone tropical end point... keep doing what your doing ,

Fiiiiiiiive starssss

Amazing podcast!
