Wow
After reading Howie Carr’s book, The Brothers Bulger, I became fascinated with true cr. Looking for more, my search brought me to Boston Confidential. After I realized Barry had several years of podcasts, I started binging on his many, fascinating podcasts. Now that I have to rely on once a week episodes I sometimes listen to other true crime podcasts. Nobody comes close to Barry. He’s entertaining, honest, and is definitely gifted for this platform. I’ve read several of the books he’s recommended, and I have followed his lead on my of the crimes he’s outlined. I also like his special guest interviews, such as Aiden “Turtleboy” Kearney and Michelle MacPhee. Barry doesn’t waste e, jumping right in to each episode. Unlike other true crime podcasts, Barry is never vulgar or offensive, unlike other podcasters who feel the need for “f bombs” to make their point. When it comes to true crime, this is it! Barry is the real deal.

Best Podcast
Thanks Barry, keep up your great work trying to uncover corruption in the Beantown.

Best in Beantown
I am so happy I came across this podcast. I love all the current cases mixed in with the mob/fbi.. which I would love a full show/ deep dive on the ladder! Barry sounds like a young version of my grandpa — an Italian from boston. There’s a certain authenticity that comes from hearing stories about the mob from someone like Barry. There’s so much more to dig into between the providence and boston life that people are still afraid to talk about I’m going to email you Barry thank you for all your content it’s amazing!

Juan Santiago
Great podcast. Maybe you can look into the Juan Santiago case. He’s a dude out of Brockton or Chelsea I believe. Possibly set up and killed in Tx in 2020. Oddest case I’ve come across in a while.

Excellent podcast
Especially enjoy the multi-part episodes about Whitey, FBI, Winter Hill. More content on police corruption, State Police, Karen Read type reviews would be well timed and enjoyable.

Fantastic local crime
Barry is the bomb on local crime! Thoroughly enjoy his podcasts.

Barry’s storytelling style keeps the listener engaged and feels natural. Like many true Bostonians, he is honest, fair, quick witted, and modest! Barry’s smooth intonation and unique phrasing remind me so much of home! One of Boston’s finest!

Barry has a gift! I’m always left amazed at how well he goes over cases concisely in a way that keeps my attention without any nonsense. Unlike other podcasts, the host has years of experience in crime through his career and his logical perspective is appreciated.

Boston Confidential - Boston’s true crime podcast
Love this podcast. True crime at its best! Keep up the great work Barry!

Great Podcast
Barry is a great host and storyteller. This really is a great podcast and I appreciate the time Barry spends explaining things as a former LEO. Keep up the great work!

Love podcast
Great podcast nice to hear someone from Boston who lives in reality about the liberal state of our lax judicial system people who commit crimes need to pay for them

Hometown Accent brings comfort
Barry and his efforts to bring light to crimes solved and unsolved. Coming from the Mass/RI area his voice and demeanor bring comfort. This professionalism and empathy (from jump street) draw you into the podcast.

Wicked good
As a neighbor to your north in NH, this podcast is so so good. All around great and well put together. I listen daily (trying to listen to them all) Keep at it! This podcast needs more followers and reviews.

Keep on
Keepin on. Tells it like it is and I appreciate that. If you’re following for Karen Read content, you may like The 13th Juror ~ a great deep dive into the cover up and corruption

Excellent!
I’m always eagerly awaiting new episodes of Boston Confidential. Mr. Maguire’s research of the cases covered & delivery of the information are flawless. There are some who criticize some of his opinions. For me, I agree with him 100% of the time. Thank you for what you do here. I belong to a few different FB pages & often see posts for podcast recommendations. I always recommend Boston Confidential.

Great host with a fabulous Boston accent!
I just stumbled on this podcast and I absolutely love the host’s style of storytelling. You feel like your best friend is talking to you. I grew up in Wayland MA. So all of these stories hit home to me especially the one about the Sarah Pryor case, so sad but great coverage.

Big Fan
Love the podcast. Keep up the great work! I’m actually new to the private investigator field, having just got my license for both Mass. and CT about 6 months ago. Anyway, I look forward to listening to future episodes!

Absolutely amazing!¡
This is the very first podcast I have ever listen to and absolutely intrigued by it! I am moving to Massachusetts and wanted to learn more about MA. This is the perfect mix of Barry’s straightforward approach and true crime! Wish I had found this at the beginning of my nursing school program, this has become an essential study tool for me! This is absolutely amazing!¡

Thank you
Thank you!

New to your PodCast Told about it from my brother who’s a regular You had me at welcome Right up my alley Love it Love your voice

Love
I love the way Barry tells the stories

Superb
You always find the best podcast from other creators you like. I found Boston confidential from Turtleboy Daily. This podcast is superb. The cases are local, so kit the same old stuff. Living on the South Shore I also love when Barry describes Boston to a tee! Love the multi part series. The series on Canton, the FBI and Boston Marathon were so thorough and thought provoking. Please keep them coming!

Boston confidential
Love the way he brings the story full circle. Better than the newspaper articles about these cases. Easy to listen to .
