I was a CO before going on Road Patrol, what I learned in the jail how to stay alive kept me alive on the road. Thanks for bringing out the stories of the guards and inmates. I binge on the stories from Woody and Jim. God bless you both .

Best of the story tellers

Feels like you’re casually sitting with these dudes while they tell you heinous stories from their profession.

Seriously good listening.

Finally. A Podcast that isn’t produced by two guys just getting drunk in their garage. Woody and his team deliver super interesting stories that are factual and worth listening to; thank you so much for not only taking the time to make sure the facts are straight, but also spending an hour or so giving us, the listeners a truly good story.

Wonderful insight

Growing up I loved watching the show locked up. I have loved everything true crime and criminal justice. This podcast scratches that itch for both! I use to listen to music at work now I go back and forth between Bloody Angola and RLRC.

Love Woody and Jim

These guys are top-notch, been listening to them both since the beginning. I’m happy Jim resurfaced on this podcast, from his start in RLRC. With that said, I wonder if anyone else has noticed that Woody sounds like he’s been drinking too much? Woody, love you! Not trying to throw shame, just concerned. You have so much to offer the world, and you e shared so much. You’re an incredible storyteller; it just sounds like you’re half-drunk half the time.

Excellent podcast

I love listening to Jim and Woody! I’ve been a fan for several years! Also love Real Life Real Crime! Just love how dedicated to the victims they are! My dad was an officer and I’m so intrigued by anything true crime related! Great job guys! You keep it informative and interesting without being boring

Experience Matters!

I absolutely love this show and it hits close to home because I did 8.5 years in Louisiana Dept. of Corrections. I love the history. Y’all keep going, God bless.

Really impressed so far!!

Just started this podcast, and I think it is going to be a love/hate relationship! The history is fascinating, but I’m sure some of these stories are going to be hard to take. I am definitely hooked! Woody has a great voice for podcasting! I think he and Josh Mankiewicz are my faves!!

Amazing storytelling & research

Woody & Jim are amazing podcasters! Woody’s first hand experience of working at Angola and Jim’s amazing in-depth research is nothing like you’ll hear anywhere else. Hands down one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. They make a great team! Thanks guys! You’re hard work, loyalty & dedication doesn’t go unnoticed or unappreciated. Much love! Kurston Dahl

Great storytelling and story of Angola

These guys did a wonderful job bringing the truth about Angola. I’m not proud of Angola and how it mistreated and continues to mistreat people, but this story and history needed to be told.

Recommending to all!

My dad works at Angola and I’m loving and hating learning more about this place. Great work.

You messed everything up

🤣🤣🤣 yes you messed everything up , I’m obsessed with true crime podcasts and I USED to listen to about 5 different ones, and now because of your podcasts I can’t listen to my other ones because they don’t come close to yours 🤣🤣 so please start releasing 10 episodes a day. Thank you for your hardwork you are amazing !!!

Really Great!

Really great podcast. Way too- too much off topic discussions like Lopa and krewe bash topics that are better left to social media and Patreon for the tangents and details. Nothing against lopa and krewe bash. They’re great. Not 15, 20, to 30 minutes of each podcast great, though. Also, can’t take Woody at face value when he talks about freedom of speech and topics. He complains about being censored while actively censors others for expressing an opinion that in no way is obscene, profane, or derogatory. Yes, folks… another example of someone who promotes double standards and hypocrisy. Anyway…. But yeah, the pod cast is good and entertaining.

New Addiction

Woody & Jim are amazing at story telling. Their voices aren’t monotone like a lot of other podcast hosts. You feel like you’re sitting there with them & you’re engrossed in the stories they’re telling you. I can’t stop listening. ❤️

Biased

Had to stop listening when they said their court system isn’t perfect but it’s the best in the world. Your “best in the world” system treated these guys so badly that Amnesty International got involved. And yes, they were convicted of the murder multiple times but those convictions were also overturned multiple times. Even Brent Millers widow doesn’t think the men killed him.
