  • Sad to see Christine go but will always be a faithful listener!

    Long time listener, love the banter and stories each week. Although I’m sad to see Christine go I must say I thoroughly loved Ep499 with Em and guest host Bethany Watson. Excited to see what’s to come and best wishes to Christine!

  • It’s Gone Downhill

    I’ve been a listener since the first year and loved it. But recently, maybe in the last 6 months, the quality has been going downhill. With the announcement that Christine is leaving, it makes it easy for me to quit listening as the true crime portion was my favorite. But that is the portion that has suffered, which is odd considering Christine uses a researcher. I’m sorry to end this chapter in my podcast journey.
