Enjoy the format and the insight from these crime writers!
Been listening since Serial. This is the podcast that got me into all the other podcasts. I am so grateful for each writer’s opinions and perspectives, and I love Rebecca’s laugh. Thanks for putting me onto MDWAP 💗 Also I love the new photo!!
Please at least educate yourself on what ‘homicide’ means if you are opting to present a crime centred podcast.
Don’t feel like you did justice here guys. Why do black people need a reason to be rich? So many white people are rich for no reason whatsoever in films/series all the time. The frumpiness was the point for the Mary character. Eleanor’s style makes sense when one is steeped in the culture. Very dismissive of the aspects that you may not personally understand.
This is a good show ( with a lot of fast forwarding needed in silly minutes) with thoughtful hosts. Can you review the podcast love trapped? Literally everyone I know is listening to it now. I’ve never seen this kind of popularity before. Would love your take.

A panel-style critique show focused on true crime and pop culture, featuring a rotating set of hosts including two journalists and writers who regularly dissect other crime-centered podcasts, TV series, and films.

A notable strength is its longevity and cross-pollination with both fiction and nonfiction crime storytelling, offering deep dives that are as much about craft as they are about the subject matter.
