Listener Reviews

PHENOMENAL!!
You will absolutely, unequivocally love this pod. Amazing. Gilbert is a master. These people are incredibly relatable and their stories will make you angry beyond comparison, but also make you smile and cry with them as you cheer them on. Again, phenomenal
Wonderful storytelling
I always love bone valley. As someone who has probably listened to mostly every true crime podcast good & bad, this one always sets my bar high! Love it and can’t wait for another season.
Season 2 leaves me speechless!
I literally don’t have words to convey how disturbed I am by the conduct of the police misconduct in this podcast. Everyone should be absolutely terrified! This podcast is riveting, and in some ways redeeming…all the emotions! Very well done. My condolences to all of the victims of this tragic story.
Exceptional
Paul is a fantastic investigative journalist, this case is unbelievable. I’m in a rage about what happened here. Love, love, love Paul’s narration.
Stunning
Season 5 is clearly the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. Paul’s storytelling is second to none. I had to subscribe so I could listen to it all nonstop. What a story…wow.
Season 5
Loving it so far, can’t wait for the rest!
One of the best true crime podcasts out there
Every single story is gripping and heartbreaking. Just listened to Season 5 and once again. The most thoroughly researched podcast. Looking forward to more seasons and hopefully it having to wait so long
Seasons 1 and 2
are incredible. I warmed to it slowly because I have mixed feelings about murder media, but I think these two seasons do the best work that murder reporting can do.
#1 Favorite Podcaster in True Crime
Totally on point, very professional, very empathetic. He’s an authentic journalist who is a master at entertainment. Some hosts get lost in their material, forgetting what listeners would find entertaining. Bone Valley cuts to the bone to dig out your own beliefs, to make you question your own level of compassion & empathy. BV allowed me to look at myself as a person who can separate my own authentic levels of compassion n empathy from the part of myself who is an ex-abused woman, a survivor of personality disorder abuse. I want to hate Jeremy Scott but in the end, despite knowing his sociopathic manipulations & that he only contributes to King’s search for answers bec of what he knows he can get in return — despite all that I know w/ my own history of loving a sociopath, I cannot help but have compassion for Scott. I was going to write him…until I learned of his death in 2025. It is King who pulled these emotions out of me through his own empathic nature and drive for the truth. A truly excellent, excellent podcast. I didn’t even mention Leo and how special getting to know him was in season one. I feel a little bad for how much attention we give Jeremy Scott in season two but the fact that Leo Schofield is so kind and also empathetic and compassionate, it just adds to the family vibe that this podcast pulls you into. Thank you Mr. King for making this podcast. You are brilliant and one of a kind. PS I’m only mid-season 2!! You wouldn’t even believe how excited I was when I realized there were multiple seasons in this podcast! 🎉🥳
One of the best true crime podcasts out there
Every single story is gripping and heartbreaking
Breath and depth
The precision of information and great presentation are mind blowing … I think that the Kelsey/King team is wonderful… whatever the hard hitting prize winning writer can’t get, the sweet young a bit nervous girl can…
Kelsey sucks!
Good podcast though
Could not stop listening
This was a great listen and I hope more people hear this podcast and that he gets a new trial soon and many blessings to his family
Obsessed
I couldn’t stop listening to this.. it breaks my heart how the system has handled this case. My hope and prayer is this podcast will help bring justice! I’m in awe of Leo and the way he has clung to his faith.
Incredible podcast
Don’t miss this podcast. Compelling and important.
Excellent visibility to criminal justice injustices
This is well-produced and tells such compelling stories bringing some light to the injustices in our system. Tragic.
Great pod
Im on season 4 and its a great story, important and well told. But please stop with the full length bad songs on each episode, it’s happened every season and a disruption to the flow as I’m listening during my day.
My Favorite, Captivating
This might be my favorite podcast so far. A story so well-worth telling and so well told. Thank you everyone who lent their testimony to this.
Incredible
Season 2 and Justin have restored my hope in humanity. Absolutely beautiful. Gilbert and Kelsey, you gave Jeremy the biggest gift he could ever receive.
Maggie Freleng never disappoints
Compelling and well researched with tons of interviews with residents familiar with the crime. Maggie Freleng has a Pulitzer Prize for a reason and she continues to demonstrate why. Highly recommend
Season 1 and 2 super!
Storytelling was great. The ghastly system that Gilbert unveils made me want him to investigate the Florida system…not just the singular unjust case! Couldn’t stop listening to seasons 1 and2. Season 3 was a departure from the style and storytelling. Didn’t finish it.
Podcasting at its best
Bone Valley is a breathtaking series that will keep you riveted and change how you see our criminal incarceration system
Story telling at its best
It’s not an easy thing to admit that the system is rigged for innocent people behind bars. That prosecutors have this much power to manipulate evidence (or ignore it) and watch a man’s life ebb away. I wish someone in the innocence project would look into this case and free the right man.
I’ve lost all respect for DAs.
Honestly, at times it was hard to listen to what evil the state prosecutors did and then continued to do to this day. It was just so infuriating. Gilbert does an excellent job gathering and presenting the facts of the case. He did such an excellent job telling the story, I even felt empathy for the real killer. How anyone kept composure and didn’t start screaming at the prosecutors through all the hearings is beyond me. There should’ve been protests.
