    Pretty good show but….
    I feel like this host has some literal skeletons in his closet 🤣 Someone get this guy some Ambien before he ends up a story in his own podcast

    hunting sound engineers for sport
    i hate with all my heart stupid sound engineering that uses wails, squelches, or long tones like a tuning fork would make. i want to bash my head in every time. it adds NOTHING to the story. STOP STOP STOP. the first 4 minutes is unlistenable, and so are the last 3 bc of the awful background SOUNDS - not music, just random as s noises. story telling is ok. -4 for sounds

    Love the show
    Great show. Just wish that I could actually listen to it instead of putting it behind a paywall.

    Season 2
    Love the podcast. But why can’t I see all the episodes from season 2?
  • Lguard54
    Love this but…
    Would really love a season 2 :-/
  • Edzgal
    Not my favorite
    The idea of this podcast is great, but… I’m not a fan of the host’s monotone delivery. (A lot of others love this aspect, so I think I’m in the minority.) Also, as EVERYONE else says, there are too many ads!! Didn’t make it through the first episode.

    Love Season 1
    Is there going to be anymore content?

    Too many ads and dream stuff
    The dreams are supposed to be a unique part of this podcast but is boring

    Love the podcast but there is a lot of ads
  • Littlegirlsgigi
    Love this
    I love this podcast and would have given it five stars but there’s more ads than actual content which makes it less enjoyable
  • jdnndiirn
    Ads and ads and ads
    Way too many ads… the ads are longer than the actually podcast sections plus I pay the monthly tenderfoot subscription fee. Makes it difficult to listen. I understand needing ads but for subscribers?

    Fellow Insomniac
    Hope your sleep improves. Love the way you tell the stories. I don’t listen for entertainment, just trying to understand why these horrific things happen. Gratuitous ads tho…
  • Not so happy gamer🎮🎧
    Yessss
    The only complaint I have is about how long the ads are🥲, but other than that, I love the podcast! Keep it up!❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • Sleepy time.
    The ads!
    I get settled in, listening to his voice and the morbid story he is telling and I am jolted out of my relaxed state by a loud obnoxious ad. If I want to listen to this podcast I can’t do it at bedtime. Other podcasts have ads but it is usually the narrator telling and selling which doesn’t interrupt the voice and sound volume of the story.
  • juliosurfer
    Crazy from the first episode to the last one.
    This podcast is a chiller one by all the chiller evidence they cover and the narrator voice is deep and dark that it would give you goosebumps. Good listen. Waiting for season 2!
  • Star_Chaser27
    Great storytelling
    I am so glad I came across this podcast! The narrator’s voice gives you a false sense of security while at the same the delivering truly terrifying stories of true crime. Love it!

    Love the tone & pace of this show
    I know it sounds morbid but I sleep to these true crime podcasts and I hate those funny upbeat ones, this show is perfect for that eerie, dark, low toned story telling. Love the host and these stories. Bring on some more shows this is one of my favorite podcasts
  • j.heritage
    Too Dark
    I wanted to enjoy this as, like most here, have a dread fascination with true crime. But some of it was just far too gruesome to be considered entertainment.
  • rpkjr83
    Meh
    I like the story telling but the hosts bit about his nightmares and insomnia are awkwardly placed and distract from the story, I stopped listening after the third ep when I realised he does it in the middle of every episode. Also, way too many ads for a 30 min episode.
  • jon.huitz
    Awesome
    Love the pod, But when is season 2 coming? I keep getting snippets of other shows I don’t care for, but nothing season 2 of Insomniac. I finally unfollowed the show today
  • De.Bailey
    The most haunting I’ve heard to Date.
    This has got to be the most intense and haunting PodCast I have ever listened to. No wonder this narrator has Insomnia. Great podcast, hard to handle for this listener at times.
  • smlbrwngal
    His voice keeps me listening!
    Feels like you’re there around a campfire while he tells you the tragic stories.
  • @thechurchdenver
    Tooo sensational for my taste
    I love the way tenderfoot TV usually is very productive their true crime podcasts. They usually are looking for the listeners help in order to find these people that do terrible things and put them in jail. They often highlight victims and the people they were. This podcast tells stories about existing solved cases in the most disturbing and sensational way. Not my taste. I’m not all about glorifying killers and the things that they do. I am interested in the investigation and I am interested in getting justice for victims, that’s why I listen to true crime. If you love blood and guts this is a podcast for you.

    Better true crime pods exist
    Started listening from a recommendation from a fellow true crime lover. Doesn’t hold my interest. Victim blaming the wife of a serial killer in episode 2 felt very offputting. Story bits about the narrator’s insomnia are awkwardly placed and uninteresting.
  • J-niffer
    Liked it until…
    I was really liking this podcast until the middle of the second episode where the host starts to question what the wife knew about her husband’s secret life. It’s one thing to wonder how she missed whatever clues there might have been. But he keeps going with it, to the point that it’s almost victim blaming. It’s easy to look back now, knowing how it all turned out, and cast judgement on his family. And by easy I mean lazy. I feel disgusted with what I just listened to and won’t be continuing with this podcast.
  • DeadPrince562
    Terrific
    Wonderful soothing voice and the ads were fine idk what people are complaining about. It’s something free that we can enjoy. Just skip it.
  • 59cottoncandy
    Annoying
    I wanted to listen to this podcast, but I couldn’t get past the annoying, forced cadence of the narrator’s voice.
  • 9268KS
    Podcast for Ads or True Crime
    Wow. I understand the need for ads but the amount of them per episode is ridiculous.
  • Wats1984
    Used to be 5 stars
    They haven’t had a new season in years and now all they do is spam my feed with other crappy podcast and ads for others. I’ll be unsubscribing if that continues
  • crysboehne
    Terrifying
    As a lover of true crime storytelling, I have listened to numerous podcasts claiming to be the best; but this one, this podcast, is up there amongst my top favorites of all time. Well researched, well reported, and terrifying. Scott Benjamin, I can’t believe it took me this long to find you. Please, give us more.
  • Roving Locus
    Way too monotone
    Hard to get through it. Sound like a robot.
  • Wylieusc
    Too many ads
    I enjoy the content, but there are so many ads for such short episodes.? And it’s the exact same two ads over and over, every episode. Help!
  • yobonks
    So good!
    Scott has done such a great job with his story telling. I hope there are more episodes/seasons to come! I also wish the episodes were a tad bit longer.
  • Court660

  • jdjendbjsje s dudjsjsnns
    good good good
    I love this show. So captivating, I wish there were more!
  • mysterymach
    THIS IS EXCELLENT.
    Its so rare that you find a podcast that really gets atmosphere right. Most people think they are really funny and that we want to hear their stupid jokes. This isn't funny at all. And that's the way it should be. Its positively Halloweenian! Its one of the best- maybe the best-true crime podcast out there. Crime Junkie who?
  • PodcastOponions
    You’re a good story teller
    Kudos also for the background music. AND! What you said at the end of the last episode, I agree with you 100%. I’m also taking a break.
  • Smiduski
    Wonderful story telling
    This podcast kept me interested in story telling and personality aspects. Scott has a way of keeping me listening and captivated.
  • RatedGeeSuperstar
    Great podcast
    I love true crime podcasts. This is my favorite of them all. Scott’s voice is great for listening. The research is accurate. I have listened to the whole season twice and I hope a new season is coming soon.
  • Brenda AV
    Love it, creepy story telling!
    I love Scotts voice, makes the podcast to feel more real, makes you believe his story and struggle with serial killers addiction and how has affected him. Keep it up! Love Tenderfoot podcasts.

  • DanDolo510
    Too short!
    Podcasts are supposed to be long format!!?? I want to like these but the stupid ass Dj Jackass adds really ruin the flow and then the pod is over! Really annoying. Would be a great show without these flaws
