  • Great show, subscribed but endless adverts

    I’m a paid subscriber to Crawlspace/Missing but continue to get endless ads. Have tried every conceivable way to communicate this but ads keep coming and are completely ruining content. Please please sort this out.

  • Frustrated

    I used to enjoy this show and I still do enjoy the new episodes but they very frequently post old episodes on both missing and crawlspace and don’t usually inform you if the episode is old so I find myself halfway through an episode realizing I already listened to this episode months ago. I get very annoyed that I wasted my time. I might stop listening to both shows because I don’t want to waste my time and feel a little like I’m being tricked into listening to an episode more than once maybe fo... more

  • Fake callers

    Apparently this show changed its format recently,..they now take “callers” to share their stories..fine,..but it’s obvious the callers are scripted..I say obviously, but perhaps some people could be fooled into thinking it’s real,..but if you listen with a critical ear, you quickly realize that the back and forth is too smooth and it just doesn’t fly..

  • Re: Good lord - avoid

    This is hands down one of the most ridiculous, poorly researched, poorly narrated, and imbecilic podcasts I have come across. I am actually dumber from having listened to this garbage.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

575 // The Wonderland Murders Part 2 w/ Eli Frankel
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the investigation? Was that difficult for law enforcement to figure out?

577 // Vampires of the French Quarter w/ Brandon Schexnayder
Q: How did Jacques Saint-Germain become associated with vampire lore?
Jacques Saint-Germain hosted parties and was found to have been drinking blood instead of wine; after a woman ran from his house claiming he tried to bite her, he mysteriously disappeared.
577 // Vampires of the French Quarter w/ Brandon Schexnayder
Q: What is the history behind vampires in the French Quarter?
Vampires in the French Quarter date back to the 1720s when they were said to have come over from Europe, with stories involving the Casket Girls who were believed to be vampires themselves.
573 // The Murder of Emma Merlotin w/ Bess Lovejoy
Q: Why do you think we still talk about these stories and how can we talk about them responsibly?
It's important to remember that these were real humans who worked and who suffered; we need to approach these stories with empathy and care.
573 // The Murder of Emma Merlotin w/ Bess Lovejoy
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your works? You wrote a book called Rest in Pieces. I know we discussed this last time, but can you refresh our listeners' memories?
Oh, sure. Yeah, I wrote a book called Rest in Pieces, The Curious Fates of Famous Corpses, about the posthumous adventures of 50 dead bodies throughout history.
