    Booo!!!
    Booo! Just boo! The op was too good to you. Unfollowed on all platforms and won’t be recommending to anyone. Loyalty matters in life.

    5 Star Show
    I love your show! But I REALLY love it when you do it with the Operator - miss him! Definitely not a fan of Jack!

    I live in the pacific northwest. Have you thought about covering Gerald Arthur Friend? The subject of a kickass Nirvana song?

    Never like crime shows…..
    I always thought crime shows, podcast, documentaries were a subtle hint your wife gave you to do better, so I never gave them much of a chance… Until TCK changed the game!!! Love the podcast Kent I listen daily. Keep cranking the episodes out!
  • Kimiller25
    Love it!
    Love this! Never know which direction this podcast will go, BUT no matter the direction it’s always great! Especially with the details about the placed, houses etc
  • Acme933
    My favorite podcast!
    I abandon any podcast I am in the middle of when a new episode of TCK drops. I love the depth, the dark humor, and (as a native of Southern WV) THE ACCENT!!!
  • ghostmagnet 👻
    Best true crime podcast!
    If you like a mix between C*mtown and Last Podcast on the Left you came to the right place! I’ve binged all episodes and like the Southern charm Kent adds to each crime! Thank you for being blunt, Kent! Also love hearing from Op, Jack, and Joe, stay golden you guys!

    Fantastic True Crime Tales From A Master Storyteller
    For me, podcasts live or die on several things. Most importantly, the voice (vocal fry people, consider a different career, ok?), personality and ability to engage the listener, empathy towards the victims and the criminals and a sense of humor. A funny/annoying sidekick (looking at you Op!) is a bonus and True Crime Kent, for me is top notch. For the curious about TCK, start with Gorilla Man and Carl Panzram. Kent and Op manage to inject the episodes with a ton of humor, humanity and insight, without going overboard. Kent is absolutely hilarious, smart and knows these cases inside/out (always citing source material, if you want more detail). He takes no prisoners with the humor - it is truly hilarious and he includes himself as a target. If you like your podcasts to be fun, very informative and narrated well, give this a shot. The Panzram 6 part series is a masterpiece. I love Op too, a perfect foil for TCK! Op adds a ton to each episode, the contrast between Kent (Kentucky Fried, brilliant miscreant) and Op (expert in coin collecting and numismatics). So you get random coin/currency facts for free as a bonus). So much hugs to all of you at 11:59 media. ♥️

    Awesome
  • hillpv
    Too funny yet he speaks the truth!!!
    I love me some TCK!!! He tells truths and digs deep into some true crime stories!!! I’m a very big fan of Joe also. He’s quite insightful, and very funny as well!! Kent “Chungas” digs deep and tells a good story!!! He has a foul mouth; which I appreciate!!! My son is an active duty U.S. Marine currently!!!
  • Cbrill1002
    I get it
    I get it Joe is smart and can fly a plane. Now shut up and let Kent tell the story.
  • Erin Platner
    A-mazing
    Kent. You are amazing. I love all the research and passion you have put into telling these stories to us. Definitely one of my favorite podcasts. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I love Joe!! I love op and jack too
  • Wam247
    Starting to miss the coin facts
    I never thought I’d say this, but I’m starting to miss Op’s coin facts. I think this new cohost should ask himself, “Is what I’m going to talk about for the next 10 minutes relevant to the story?” At first it seems like he’s on the verge of making sense, but then he completely fails to land the plane, no pun intended.
  • SelfAwareRobotMom
    Hilarious
    I’m totally addicted. Kent is so funny. There’s also another guy.

    NEED DAT INTRO
    Unbiological pet sperm of Dallas Dan here. Kent and The Big T.O. just do it like no other. Big ups to the other co-hosts. But you two just have it on LOCK. Anyways, we REALLY need to know where that intro song comes from, its one of our favorite parts of the show and we just can't seem to find it. We need you to slide the intro and give the full version. Thank you in advance Luv from Dallas County💖 💒🧟‍♀️M.:S.:

    😶‍🌫️
    Long time listener, first time caller. This is more of a comment than a review. The Operator/ Kent combo is the thing. It’s perfect. No duds. No flops. Every time. 911 ruled with y’all. TCK rules with y’all. It’s why I listen. No shade on the rest of the cast…it’s…ok…but it ain’t the thing. I know y’all know this. 🗣️GIVE US WHAT WE WANT! Love y’all. Never stop. 🌹D.:H.:

    Once a month!?
    Love this show but the once a month releases is just ridiculous.
  • TrammellMaria
    Keeps me sane
    You have become part of my feel-good regimen. I listen to you just about EVERY morning. Keep doing what you’re doing. 🤍🫂
  • Spensire18
    Too many ads!!
    Love the show, love Kent and Op willing to listen to an ad now and then. An ad every 10 minutes that starts abruptly and completely stops the flow is asinine. I’m done
  • nilly fill baster
    I wish Kent was my neighbor
    This show is humorous and well researched. The addition of Jess adds nothing but somehow takes away from the show
  • truthnreview
    Why even have this podcast anymore?
    Used to love this but one upload a month is trash, do your job or quit. At this point it’s a dead fish in the water. Barely comes to the surface. Same with tethers. Trash. If I could give negative stars I would. No content ever. Y’all haven’t figured it out yet,….thats wild.
  • jdjerjhfiei
    Start at Carl Panzram
    I normally do not like banter. But-these two pull it off! The hosts grow on you almost immediately and it’s now become a new favorite.
  • Jennyjenn959
    A must!!
    I am a true Kent fan! His research is remarkably well done and his humor and ability to banter is next level.

    Why True Crime Kent Became My Go-To Podcast
    When I first started listening to TCK, I almost turned it off because of all the banter. But Kent’s unmistakable accent reminded me of growing up in Bourbon Co, and that familiarity made me stick around. By the end of the first episode, I wasn’t sure yet—but after the second, I was hooked. I started with the Panzram episodes, and I’d recommend starting there if it’s your first time. Kent has a rare talent for diving deep into the darkest true crime stories while weaving in just enough humor to lighten the mood. I’ve never laughed so much listening to a podcast—and trust me, my wife would tell you I’m not one to laugh at much of anything! I’m so grateful to whoever mentioned this show in a comment on an episode of **Sword and Scale**—which used to be my favorite podcast, but now **True Crime Kent** takes the top spot. Now I even subscribe to this yahoo—who knew I’d be paying to hear more banter!

    Great show
    Humor and facts! I love it!!!
  • koondingi
    FULL. BODY. CHILLS.
    The candid commentary has disrupted my job several times as it never fails to make me laugh, uncontrollably. Kent’s delivery leaves me hanging on to every single word and I absolutely love the research he puts into the physical locations. I love these details. I also really appreciate and use Op’s tidbits of coin knowledge. I would have given unlimited stars, but I’m not Dave Meltzer, and I was limited to 5 so……

    Love Dark Humour!?
    Hilarious, you will be asking yourself if it’s ok to be laughing at that. 🙌🏼 And I love how much they make fun of killers when most podcasts sensationalise them.
  • Milkman1000&&&
    My penis hurts from laughing....
    This is by far the best investigative show in the True Crime realm. It's like taking a deep face dive into the vaginas and buttholes of all victims and perpetrators. A must fir the true crime comeidic connesuer. Kent gets real, really real, with his interpretation of the crimes and situations in his commentary. Don't look any further you won't be disappointed. You Rock Kent. You too OP.
  • iceyjays
    Keep it going
    Kent, keep it going brother. Never stop mentioning flubber, truly a masterpiece. Respect for all your research, how many coin facts have you retained?

    Kent! Kent! Kent!
    I love Kent so hard it hurts! Truthfully- he is one of the few people in this world who can make me belly laugh until I’m almost in pain. His cohosts, especially Jack Luna from Dark Topic fame, are great 😂 The Op is a little annoying, but it’s worth it to hear Kent get exasperated with him. If you like true crime podcasts told in a Kentucky accent by an extremely funny man, done in a well researched manner, who will educate you about the Google map locations of the crime scenes with gusto, than this is the podcast for you! I LOVE IT!!!!

    This is legit my favorite podcast, and has been for like a year now. Don’t even bother with reviews less than 5 stars, straight up haters. 😎🔥
  • meeshell828
    Loves!
    I started off listening to Sword n Scale and thought it was awesome. Detailed, researched, straight up story. It is extremely monotone and super weird slow motion speech. But anyway, I thought it was good. UNTIL I heard you and Jack Luna together and my mind changed immediately! You guys research like no tomorrow and bring in details that no other do! You make it extremely fun to listen to with your banter! Makes me giggle! You are real about life’s challenges/experiences. Love that you are completely open about your own lives/struggles that we all can relate to! Hope you smoke Sword n Scale…..you guys deserve it!!!!! Even in your in-depth researched episodes, you are giving real time feelings and thoughts! You guys rock it and will always be my favs!

    Also…
    Also, regarding the Martin Bryant episode and because I couldn’t edit my last review, Kent and Op can consider themselves lucky and privileged to be able to not think about getting shot up when they go to concerts or the grocery store in America. But they don’t speak for everyone. I’m not claiming to know the minds of every single American mind (like they are), but I can tell you non-Americans, that the thought crosses many of our minds regularly. Every time I drop my son off at school, I scan the area and look to see where the access points are and where I would have to go if I needed to run in there to save him. And that’s because he goes to a gated private school. But because Kent and Op never think about it, it’s just a ridiculous and impossible concept to them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway, this show is actually really good, if we are talking about the actual story part of the show. I mean, I’m gonna keep listening because anything I don’t agree with I can just let go and stay for the fun. But every once in a while, it shows that they’ve become so used to their echo chamber that it gets to be too much.

    Proud
    I just found this podcast. I knew Kent from the Marine Corps. I am a frequent podcast listener and I recently came across these podcasts. His personality is 100% authentic.
  • PrincessPotter1
    I need more Kent! No seriously.
    Maybe it’s because I’m originally from North Mississippi and while I’m aware of the differences in geography, I’m fairly certain both locations share the same Dollar Generals, corner stores with 4 old gas pumps (that also sell excellent homemade biscuit sandwiches made by your high school friends’ toothless granny), and all the other “charm” you can only experience in the rural south. So, I really feel like I’m sittin’ around listening to one of my cousins tell me a crazy story; and damnit, I just immensely enjoy it! All jokes aside, please make more episodes soon. Also, I subscribe to Jack Luna’s channel or whatever it’s called on the apple app and you guys are doing a great job over there as well. Thanks to all of you for your hard work.❤️
  • ShezGhez
    Kent’s ability to speak his mind is refreshing!
    WOW! I wish I had found this pod sooner. As a Gen X woman, I found Kent to be hilarious. I laughed out loud several times while listening to my first episode. I truly appreciate that Kent holds nothing back while voicing his beliefs. We need more people who will openly support our Constitution, specifically the second amendment. His description of what people think an AR 15 is absolutely cracked me up! I can’t wait to go back and binge the whole show.
  • St Genevieve
    Oxytocin
    As everyone knows, it’s something the body produces. Laughter and love increase the oxytocin and decrease the cortisol. It’s a win win. Part of me wants to listen whilst recording my delighted reaction to every moment during which my oxytocin was pumping. So very smart and funny!!
  • Dr.DHipp
    Love True Crime Kent!
    My neighbor told me about this podcast and I am so glad she did. This podcast is amazing! I love Kent and the Operator. This show is so funny and blunt. The stories are great and very detailed.
  • Brandiland86
    Refreshing and fun
    Love how Kent delivers these stories. He’s a straight shooter who doesn’t use all the current p.c language in true crime. I appreciate the raw humor and bluntness of everything without glorifying the crimes. Great show 💯
