Kingpins is legit!
I love the right to the point storytelling! Both of their voices are great for podcasts, too! You can tell they really do a lot of research on each subject.

Best podcast ever!!!!

Best crime boss podcast available
Perfect. Took a bit of searching to find the right one but this is it. Might I suggest the story of a modern day active kingpin that has yet to be prosecuted and/or empire ruined? Maybe you have? I’ve got a lot of episodes to listen to still. Good work. Excellence.

It used to be good
This was a good show, until they decided to push BLM politics. Now? It’s propaganda.

Two person narration is terrible!
English guy and American woman read a paragraph each at a time. For whatever reason it makes it difficult to listen to which is a shame.

Interesting but simple
The “red menace of communism”... 🙄

Love this high end podcast
These guys do a great job. I usually hate the two voice approach to storytelling but these two pull it off for me.

Informative and Gripping
This is by far one of the most informative podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Ignore the conservative bootlickers who lose their mind at any “criticism”, aka discussing verified abuses of power, of the police and just give it a shot. And to anyone who can’t handle ads on a FREE podcast, get over yourself. You have always and can always just forward through the ads. Love the narration as well, looking forward to more podcasts! These have been some of the only things that has gotten me through this past year.

Radio Silence?
There hasn’t been any new Kingpins episodes in almost two months! Ever since the police gang series (which seemed to trigger the crybabies on the elephant side of politics) there’s a glaring lack of new episodes. Did all the “woke is broke” morons scare y’all off? I really hope not.

Horrible commercial voice
Show is good but the spokesperson, specifically, the mousy sounding girl is a total buzz kill. Her squeaky voice is horrible for doing advertisements. I dread the commercials! Just listen to the yamnaya...what a load of crap. That we all ‘may’ have come from these people. And what blasphemy to suggest that Christianity was born out of a pot culture. You people are unbelievable in your loose liberal anti-God ideology. Lots of ‘mights’ and ‘Mays’. How about lots of bull. Liberal hacks as usual. Lumping bad actors into the mighty blue. Yes there are bad cops who commit unwarranted violence but that is very minimal. Almost all of the hilited incidents involve hardened felons. Yet they are the ‘victims’. The media is a sham in this country and this podcast vehicle is no different. They turn interesting stories into liberal political banter. Sad

LASD Series - Sponsored by BLM?
This series should have just been a paid advertisement for Black Lives Matter. The hosts act as though this police gang activity is the norm instead an anomaly amongst cops nationwide and they then proceed to spout completely out of context statistics and the BLM defund the police agenda like it’s the only option to fix a non-existent problem. The Kingpins podcast would normally be a 4-5 star rating but this misleading social justice warrior crap and the vilification of the massively good policing in our nation just ruined the series.

Can’t do it.
I’m sure the stories are great... But I can’t handle the dual host format here. Maybe break up the content. Sentence for sentence is too distracting.

Woke
As others have mentioned used to be an informative entertaining podcast, unfortunately they’ve jumped onto the woke or broke bandwagon.. irritating to say the least.

The narrators voice are annoying
I can’t listen to the whitest sounding ( one from england the other woman a robotic voice) narrators talk about a very multi cultural , latino, problem in Los Angeles history. I’d rather listen to people who have more passion and i could relate too. A big skip.

Propaganda for Idiocracy
Typical red meat for low information morons. Promulgates fake news and ignorance.

This podcast has become “woke”
I was enjoying some of the stories until I noticed they too have fallen into “wokeism”. I noticed they started using the woke word “Latinex” (I think that’s how you spell it) to describe Latinos. It may seem like an exaggeration but I’m unsubscribing. I’m not down with the woke non sense.

Jump Out Boys Are Everywhere
The Jumpout Boys aren’t isolated to LA but are more easily recognized in urban areas during the height of the crack epidemic as members of the DEA or drug/gang task forces. They ride around in black unmarked vans and literally jump out to perform arrests. Otherwise great episode

Woke propaganda down your throat.
Only brainwashed leftists will find this show bearable. If you are one, listen ahead.
Jiacheng W.
This show has changed!
This show started as a great informational and thrilling crime series. Now it’s just a bunch of woke agenda ridden garbage to push the narrative against police and white folk. Disappointed to see yet another show fall to cancel culture and woke garbage.

A once decent podcast ruined by wokeness
This podcast use to be very interesting and informative. It has slowly gone downhill with the new cohosts. First they went from calling sex crime victims prostitutes to calling them “Sex Workers” (what are they onlyfans girls of the 1980’s) Then they started this new series by using Latinx every other breath. Living in a Hispanic community I can affirm most find this ridiculous gender studies double speak insulting. It denigrates the Spanish language. The cohosts are so far removed from the reality of modern crime they sound like woke virgins talking about sex. They’ve lost the authenticity of the crime books they regurgitate to their listeners by making sure no one gets “triggered”.

Pronunciation
These episodes are so entertaining and informative. However I feel like the narrators could at least try to to pronounce the Spanish names the way they are properly pronounced. That’s the only thing that turns me off about this podcast. If you’re telling these people stories, the least they deserve is their names to be said properly. That’s all.

We need a Michael Franzese episode !
I can’t go a day without listening to this podcast . You guys do an amazing job . We need an episode on Michael franzese . And especially Joseph Ardizzone, the first boss of the Los Angeles crime family . Hard to find info on the guy at all.

Ads, Ads, Ads
Parcast is nothing but greedy at this point. The ads have become unbearable. This is like watching commercial television. A full third of the show is commercials. Combine that with their awful script readers and every podcast from this network is a waste of time.

narration makes it impossible to listen

Stop cluttering my feed with “Daily” trash
Used to enjoy this show and look forward to the new episodes. I subscribed to the podcast, not what you tacked on as an afterthought to get in my feed every day and add ad revenue. Shady tactic, get rid of the daily BS.
Mr.Analog
Use of BCE and CE is annoying
I want to listen to this podcast, but it bugs me to have to translate the meaningless CE to AD and BCE to BC, in my head. Shouldn’t they say the equally meaningless “Uncommon Era” and “common era”? So one arbitrary day, eras were common or uncommon?
Abe Thul
Suggestion on next episode
You should do one on Anthony Spilotro and el chapo
Cheap A##!
One of the Best True Crime Podcasts
Well researched and nicely put together shows. Not only do they have shows with well known criminals. They also tell stories about people hardly known. Plus the short quotes segments are fantastic!
Norse girl
Blown away
Every episode is mind blowing. The information that is given about all these King pins and there demise, the detail makes you feel lime you wittiness it for Your selfs

To short
Why the 7 minute episodes?! Plz go back to the 45 minute ones!!
ashklphtdsxbklo
No point of 7 minute episodes
Honestly I only listened to the 40 minutes episodes and was out when those ended. But if you guys don’t listen to “Real Narcos” you should because it’s my favorite so far. Some pronunciation issues but no big deal. Better than this one by far. I’m just here to turn you on to a new podcast
CELI001
Long episodes r good
Full length 45 min episodes = 5* The 5 min ones? Are bad. No good, 2 star
rickross183
What happen to full length podcast

OK I'm done, unsubscribed and deleted from my iTunes.
Used to be OK. Just getting lamer and lamer in recent months. And @whoever is reading this from the Parcast team, I'm sure you've seen the response on these daily shows. Everyone hates them. I unsubscribed. Maybe I'll check this out again in a few months.

What happened

Daily episodes
The daily(old) episodes are annoying.
BillyMadison88
Give us longer episodes
This podcast used to have 30-50 minutes episodes but now they’re doing 5-8 minutes (today’s quotes). It used to be a 5-star podcast but now it’s a 2-3 star podcast. Please give us longer episodes!
Texas podcaster
Bring back full episodes
You guys used to rock, these quote episodes are trash.
chiquix10
Too much other crap
I loved theses when I first subscribed but the cross advertising and switching in shows has become tiresome. I’m not interested in all of the substitutions throughout all parcast podcast. It has become annoying and now with the daily quotes and shorts there is more content that does not interest me than the core content that I once enjoyed. If you are lacking content reduce the frequency.
P0DcastJunkie333
I’m done with Kingpins
I finally unsubscribed after several years. I’m so sick of deleting the annoying short daily episodes and fast forwarding through the stupid unrelated inspirational crap that’s been inserted in the middle. Your content isn’t good enough any more to warrant even that much annoyance.
Gadwall
Stop!
Please stop with the daily quotes if I wanted to hear quotes I would of looked for a podcast that was about that it’s aggravating and there boring I signed up to hear about serial killers!
