User Reviews

Fans praise Sword and Scale for immersive, multi-source storytelling and top-tier production, but cite recurring downsides: the host's political commentary, a perceived decline in storytelling quality, and persistent app issues (offline playback and logins). The show remains highly influential, yet technical and ideological issues have led some listeners to pause or cancel.

Pros

Immersive, cinematic true-crime storytelling that weaves together 911 calls, interrogation footage, and court testimony to make you feel like you’re inside the case.
High production quality, deliberate pacing, and meticulous research that avoids sensationalism and respects the gravity of the crimes.
Credible, authentic host and team with a strong influence in the true crime space; widely regarded as among the best in the genre.
Deep dive into the psychology behind crimes, focusing on the why rather than surface details.
Long-running, trusted podcast with a dedicated fanbase and consistently engaging content.

Cons

Host's political commentary and perceived biases intruding into episodes, leading to polarization for some listeners.
Decline in storytelling quality over time, with more digressions and political content and less focus on case details.
Frequent app reliability issues: offline listening broken, episodes not resuming from where left off, repeated logouts, and other bugs.
Some episodes described as overly lengthy with non-crime content or repetitive segments; some consider video content rambly or not engaging.

Recent reviews

This would easily be my favorite podcast if the host didn’t add his personal snide comments. The episode I tried to listen to today talked about people being on their period because they were complaining. That comment adds absolutely NOTHING to the story being told. If it wasn’t for this issue, I would gladly pay for premium because the info/story being told is well informed and engaging without the snide comments.

Hands down the best. If you’re looking for true crime, go ahead and just stop here. You’ve found it. Maybe even subscribe after you’re addicted. PLENTY of content if you don’t. No mysteries. No bs. Just some of the best content I’ve ever come across and it was completely by accident! Mike is awesome. The writers, editors, etc, all awesome. Come join the family ❤️
