Was curious where Swindled would sit in the new PodDive ( https://mooremetrics.com/poddive ) database - seems to be in good company :D

Sword and Scale has no business being in the same ballpark as Swindled
Edit: fixed
I hope you mean Crime Junkies. Court Junkie is legit.
Court Junkie is in my top 5
Holy shit. Yes I do mean crime junkies 🤦‍♀️ court junkies is so good
It's just one junkie, lol. But yes I friggin love that pod!
Yeah S&S and its host are hot garbage.
Sword and Scale?
Polar opposites on credibility and in hosts.
Glad I didn’t have to say it
Interesting - why do you think they're clustered? Do they have anything in common?
True crime genre, that's it.
I think, on the surface, it’s a bit more nuanced than that though SAS doesn’t bring anything else of value.
Both bring quite a bit of shade and opinion to the telling of a story - of course, with Swindled it is opinion supported by logic and evidence and in SAS it is only supported in that guys head.
They are also both single narrator and, presumably, more focussed. Whereas Swindled is highly structured and virtually every word is intentional and purposeful, SAS guy seems to be randomly grinding axes against whoever was mean to him on the socials this week.
I haven’t actually listened to a whole SAS for over a year so I’m going by my experience as well as what I’ve read on social media about the shows decline and the particularly egregious clips I’ve heard.
