Love this podcast on Spotify - Nate just does not stop asking questions to anybody no matter how awkward it may be. His team is first rate at research and calling it like it is. I love sports / crime movies and general how stuff happened …. This is my go to podcast as each of these episodes are so mesmerizing like a good fellas movie or even catch me if you can ! Keep it up Nate as you look to find and unearth these situations Taft Stephenson

I love this show….Nate is one of the best around.

Seriously?!? These repulsively self-centered leftist grifters haven’t uttered a peep for a very long time. Not one peep. So when I got their alert for a new upcoming pod, I immediately clicked on it.. Only to discover that the only reason us fans/supporters were hearing from these grifters is bc they were paid to plug another podcast. Their “I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m sorry” script written to pretend they care (when anyone with an ounce of objectivity knows they don’t) made me want to vomit. If that wasn’t insulting enough already, these dishonest charlatans whip out the “people of color” trope to act like they actually give a crap about anything other than money. What a shamefully disappointing product this team has become.

I wish you could let Jack tell his story instead of interrupting every 30 seconds, explaining why he saying what he saying, basically apologizing for him ranting. It would be awesome if you could just release the entire interview so I could actually hear the story how he wants to tell it. And I just love the end of season one. Where are you completely dismiss his story of redemption to conclude your narrative, that he is a terrible liar of a human. If those two people had to die. so that Mr. Murphy could connect with thousands and thousands of inmates to receive the message of Jesus Christ then so be it.

Season 1 and 3 🤯🤯

I’ve enjoyed all three seasons. The second season was not the first time I’d heard Jack Murphy’s story but it was the best told version and most thorough to date. I specifically loved the last episode of the regular series.

I love this podcast - hosts are great and stories are really good, I just miss the opening music from the first two seasons, way better than the new violin/western music from the third. Original music sounded way cooler when the Host would be like “this is the sneak” and then that cool beat would start.

There are too many frequent interruptions for ads

Better now Han 5 stars. 5 loves. Your podcast was well written and told. I love how you talk to people with respect, letting them tell their story and he opportunity to answer your questions. Thank you for being an absolute, fabulous binge. Season 1-3.

The first two seasons are gold and deserved five stars, the third season was fine but maybe not as good. The host and interviewer are top notch.,

This podcast is extremely well done. Also, I love their music choices.

If you’re looking for a solid B- podcast for filler until you find your next great podcast, this could be the one for you! I just finished Season 3 and I wish I didn’t. There is no story here. Come on Nate, this is not enough to turn into a podcast. The podcast plot/investigation basically turned out to be a merry-go-round of hearsay about a missing old NASCAR guy, Mario Rossi, who is most likely dead now and was most likely killed at the time because he dealt/smuggled drugs. Where is the story here? Nate, you seem like a decent guy, take some advice, build a more compelling podcast next time. This one was like a 5th grader’s social studies project. I’ll give you a compliment, however, you have a nice podcast voice and are generally likeable.

The sneak brings attention to the lesser known avenues of criminals and disappearances. I felt as if initially I had to get over the mildly annoying voice of host. But after the initial acclimation, I’ve really enjoyed all 3 seasons

Goes on way too long about podcast producer’s issues

I loved the crazy ride of the first story. Great characters. Like watching a crime or mystery show. I’ve only listened to season 1 so far.

This undoubtedly took countless hours to investigate. To make a podcast discussing all of the deadens and misinformation gathered and NEVER coming up with a proven fact or for that matter anything close to a conclusion is just nuts. And to post 8 sessions doing it is ridiculous.

Tough subject.. Murph is the type you’d hope never to come across.. bad dude with no conscience.. I feel this glorified him a bit, bit really it was just Jack weaving his own tale.. his ego on full display... interesting podcast if you can keep the bile out of the back of your throat.. Edit: just finished season 3, and I’m unsubscribing.. all tease, fluff, and conjecture... sadly, this has become a waste of time ☹️

This podcast is a HUGE waste of time. It never goes anywhere. You never get any satisfaction of feeling like they actually made any in roads into the mysterious disappearance of Mario Rossi. The audio quality is poor. They drag out dead lead after dead lead and try and portray their investigation as taking winding turns. In truth, they only go in circles. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

I know that until there is a massive backlash of some sort, the likelihood of Wondery changing anything about this is slim to none, but I have found that I am going to stop listening to any of the material. As good as the storylines may be, the vast majority of the show - all of their shows - seem to be one giant commercial with a great story interlaced into it. I have tried the free version, it is nice, but I don’t think that as many people are willing to pay as much as everyone seems to be requesting now to listen to each podcast in the form of a story versus a commercial. If you happen to see this review duplicated comments because I’m going to paste it on every one of their podcasts that I have listen to. I would be curious as to how many people actually buy the products that are shoved down our throat‘s. One can’t help but wonder if the juice is going to be worth the squeeze as listeners gradually drop off in this day of thousands upon thousands of available podcasts. I truly pity those who are telling the stories, doing the research, and have put together such a well done storyline as long as they work for this company.

No new revelations and no real discoveries. Just a standard over dramatized podcast that attempts to bait you with cliff hangers and never delivers. Pass on this one.

This season it seemed very weak when it comes to actually knowing your subject matter. Clueless. In the Hot Foot episode he repeatedly, & what seemed like purposefully, “misunderstanding” or just flat out misquoting Gary. Great example of how journalists will make stuff up to fit their narrative.

I loved season 1 and season 2 was pretty good even if a little to long Season 3 Let’s just say from the beginning that I knew this was a wild goose chase and had really no chance of ever developing into an intriguing story NASCAR has been full of conspiracy theories for years and guess what they always turn out to be exaggerated stories of what could be a remote possibility of truth and ultimately nobody cares I quit listening after they got to Gary belue They should have started there and then realized there was nothing to this stupid story scrap the season and find a better story I will be very skeptical of the next season if there is one Stick to the proven facts like season 1 not these wild goose chases that will never pan out

This is basic entertainment. You won’t learn anything new or ground breaking and the hosts really only retell old info, admittedly with new interviews, but in the end you’ll not hear anything ground breaking or any new info that could solve the case. Season after season, it’s the same thing.....person dies many years ago......here are all the old players involved in that case.....here are some old case notes.....here are some old details.....here are those current people and info replayed for your entertainment. In the end, it’s entertainment. If you’re here to listen to some ground breaking NEW info- not gonna happen

So glad I found the Sneak. I started with Season 2. I have gone back and listened to Season 1 and am listening to Season 3. Keep up the good work. Love Nate’s style. Am anxious to find out the topic of Season 4.

Please keep going with the Sneak! Absolutely love the show!

I like this show and have followed it for a while now. Most episodes only have about 15 minutes of show due to a lot of commercial time. Still a good show but I wish episodes were longer and had more in them at times.

Always love learning about the history. Looking forward to next week.

Dragged out into 8 episodes.

I didn’t like the first season but I thought I’d give this current one a shot. Not for me. This host is so plastic and full of himself, I feel like he’s all about himself and his desperate struggle to get information. It sounds whiny. Neither he nor his cohost have been able to get me to care about the people or the story.

Interesting and Well Made. Love it

Just started with Season One, the story is fascinating, with plenty of humor and “what the...” moments. I’m slightly hearing impaired, this one seems quieter than most I listen to. Some extra volume would be beneficial.

Love the characters being discussed and the in depth reporting!

I just found this podcast, and appreciate this well delivered account off the missing person, Mario Rossi. Creative, well organized, and easy to follow.

This is an interesting story and if you are into NASCAR or NASCAR history you will want to listen to this story.

Great job!

I have never been a fan of sound and effects in podcasts. The sound effects are pointless imo but tolerable. Interesting story.

Hope there’s a season 3 coming soon. Really enjoyed both of the seasons. Felt like the second was stronger than the first, which I also enjoyed.

Structure wise this is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to.

Great story. The music in this podcast could not possibly be any worse. But very interesting story.

This is a podcast worth listening to. Not only is it a great story, but the host does a good job of taking the listener through the events in an organized format while also peppering in dry humor and the occasional cliff hanger. One of the previous reviews said that the podcaster portrays Anthony as a sympathetic character. While I can sort of understand that point of view, I question whether that listener finished the entire series. Once one listens to all the episodes it becomes clear that Anthony himself disabuses us of that notion. Should the others involved been held accountable? That’s the big question.

Great job! Very interesting and thorough.

Love the Sneak. Throughly enjoyed each Season. Highly recommend. Very interesting approach and perspective. Keep it up!

I tried to listen and o this with an open mind but when the interviewer described the robber as a “victim of two of the largest tragedies of the 21st century,” I had to turn it off. The podcast host seemed to bend over backwards to accommodate and give exception to a man who made horrible decisions. He overextended himself by buying way too many properties.

Loved season 2 - fresh work on a subject that has been covered in other mediums. Great production values and overall approach. Recommend if you want something timeless.

Jack Murphy was a sleazy, disgusting, conman who murdered women. I hope and pray when he died that it really hurt. His lack of remorse for his crimes demonstrated what a sociopath he really was and the con that he continued with until the end.

Shocked by Jack’s lack of empathy.

This series was well-researched and compelling. Murphy was both a compelling and frightening individual. His charm, even in at his advanced age was undeniable. However, it covered a dangerous person lurking beneath the surface who despite his apparent rehabilitation lacked empathy and seemed capable of anything. His protest about questions in the final episode were.downright chilling: that all happened along time ago, why keep bringing it up is the height of psychopathic behavior.

I enjoyed the podcast and my gut feeling from the beginning was that Jack Murphy was a total con man . That was evident at the end along with the fact that Murphy the Surf only care about the image of himself that he put out there for the world to see. Keep up the good work! I look forward to the next season.

I actually like this podcast, however it is 100% clear that Murph is just another con man looking for a few more minutes of fame. He is literally bragging about helping people “have accidents”... please stop glorifying garbage people.

Surf murder ep are great
