Description

Been using Sword And Scale for a couple months now. It’s basically a true crime podcast that covers the dark side of criminal justice. Pretty solid app if you’re into that kind of stuff.

Here’s what you do: you can listen to episodes on different high-profile crimes and cases. There’s also a feature to create playlists, which is pretty cool. And you can get notified when new episodes drop – took me a while to figure that out but it’s useful.

Look, if you’re into true crime podcasts, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – some of the stories can get a little dark – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out.

Editor Opinion

So here's my honest take on Sword And Scale. I've tested a bunch of true crime podcasts and this one's up there with the best. The production quality is really high, and they get access to some crazy stuff like 911 calls and court testimony. Makes you feel like you're actually there. But it's not just sensationalism - they do a good job of examining the full story and the criminal justice system. Only downside is that some of the episodes can be a little heavy, so you might not want to binge it. Overall though, it's one of my go-to podcast apps.
