Great Podcast - Wish More New Episodes
Really enjoy Barry's podcasts! Only knock is I feel like new episodes aren't as frequent and a lot ot replays lately. Would love for him to hit on some new ones!

Great Podcast
I just found this podcast and have to say I am hooked. I was born and raised in Boston and am now living in Maine. I love my home city and all things that make it the best city in the world especially the true crime stories. I listened to your take on the Sean Ellis case. I watched Trial 4 years ago and have to say I was absolutely convinced of his innocence. When I saw that you covered this case and had a different perspective, I decided to listen. I was skeptical going in. Surprisingly, I learned things that were not covered in the documentary. Now I’m no longer absolutely convinced of his innocence but am definitely second guessing my initial thoughts. I’m going to dig into some of the things I’ve learned from your coverage with an open mind. Thank you for giving your honest opinion and making me think about the case from a different perspective. I know you got some negative feedback from these episodes. I think it’s important for us to listen to all perspectives. Even if we still disagree afterwards that’s ok. But it’s important to keep an open mind. Love this podcast!

Based.
I go to podcast for all things Boston. My kinda pod. Feels like Sitting in my local watering hole, having a discussion while enjoying a cold one.

THANK YOU!
Thanks for giving us the best local true crime podcast! I look forward to hearing you next episode.

Amazing
This is the first time the whole story has ever been told regarding Amy Lloyd. Why?

Great show
Keep up the good work. Forget the haters. This is to show my support.

Great listen!
I love Barry! Such a gentleman and great voice.

Mono Tone
Very interesting topics but just can’t listen to past a few minutes of any episode. Every sentence is long and drawn out, doesn’t hold attention. Too bad, I wanted to learn more about Boston’s crime history.

Can you PLEASE dig, EXPOSE the Sandra Birchmore murder, cover-up by the Canton PD???
I would truly love to know your investigation into the Sandra Birchmore murder, by a Canton Police office, followed by the ENTIRE COVER-Up….

Excellent job
Dont you ever change your reporting! Not in any way. I appreciate your honesty and often clear explanation on corruption in our society as a whole. They all have a agenda. Any negative comments are coming from bias and negative people unworthy of your time. Keep up the great reporting and commentary.

Great Podcast
Fair views- love it.

Always engaging and thoughtful
I love Barry, I think he does a great job of providing facts and being honest about his opinions. He’s very knowledgeable and it really does feel like talking with an intelligent and well-informed friend. Keep up the great work!

If your drunk uncle had a podcast…
…it would sound like this.

Boston confidential
Awesome….Bostons best true crime podcast. Honest and noteworthy!

Love this show
Just a quick note to say how much I enjoy this show.

A+
Barry I love your podcast. Your so knowledgeable and funny too. Your accent is so Boston it really makes your podcast all the more authentic. I’m eagerly learning about all these criminals and cases I’ve never heard of. I’m also sad for the families that had to endure the pain of going through these horrible experiences. I’m completely obsessed with the Karen Read case and look forward to new developments in this. I’m also disgusted that my hard earned money is funding this. Can you do a podcast about how Maura Healy is just letting this happen? I’d like to know how much this is costing the commonwealth now for round 2, so double the cost. I hope someday justice prevails for Officer John O’Keefe, he deserves it. Stacey Surenian :)

Best Podcast

A great listen!
I only recently found Barry and this podcast and I’m loving catching up! Love Barry’s style and honest opinions. I’m recommending Boston Confidential to my friends and family!

Superb
Excellent Research with a dose of humanity , as he dishes out truth….love this podcast!

Karen Read
Great coverage about the corrupt police department in the obvious cover up of & framing of an innocent woman. May justice be served!!

My favorite true crime podcast!
Absolutely love Barry’s work. I enjoy the easy, relaxed feel of what feels like a discussion with a friend. Thorough detailing of Boston/Northeast cases that is always unbiased and fair. Barry sticks to the facts for the most part, and always lets you know when he’s offering his opinion vs what is known fact.

So good!
Absolutely love this podcast. Barry does a great job telling the stories of cases all throughout Boston and the state of Massachusetts while exposing the truth. Keep up the great work!

Thank you
Thank you for speaking the truth and helping expose the lies and corruption. Love the Podcast.

Top-notch Local Coverage
I live on the North Shore and wanted to follow the Karen Read case. This is superb, well-informed, authentic local coverage. The narrator is professional and well-qualified to cover the case. 13th Juror is the other great podcast I’ve found covering this case.

5 Stars
I’ve been listening to this podcast from the beginning, Barry does a great job getting into these cases. It’s very informative and you learn a lot about true crime events that happened in and around the Boston area. Also, his coverage of the Karen Read trial has been exceptional, he should win some kind of award for it!

Enjoying this podcast!
This is the exact coverage I was looking for about the Read case. Thank you!

BEST Podcast regarding the Karen Read case!!!
Just found this podcast!!! This is the very best summary of the Karen Tead trial!! Please keep up the great work!!!

Excellent!!
This podcast provided such great coverage of the Karen Read case. So much detail and honest/ humane comments from the host, who seems genuinely concerned about justice. My questions are: 1. How on earth was Jen McCabe not held in contempt of court? Idk what kind of trash human thinks they can interface with criminal attorneys in a court of law in the way that she did. Or why the judge let her behave that way. 2. Does Jen McKabe actually expect the general public to care about her suffering compared to the fact that an officer is dead? 3. I wonder when the perjury charges are coming, and then conspiracy? These ppl are horrible! If Karen Read gets convicted it will be such a tragic miscarriage of justice. 😞 I appreciate this podcast for giving us the details, despite the shame this murderous group of low-lives are bringing to greater Boston.
