    I love how you add your own commentary and phrases when describing certain people, for example “douche bag”, “he’s just a dick”, etc. I laughed out loud today when I heard Matthew say “tits up” as well. Thanks again for an amazing podcast! You guys are great. Update: loved the episode about Jerome - what an intriguing story! Loved the commentary and banter between you two as well. Keep up the great work!

  • Please tell bloke to STOP reading his own ads. Really bad shouting, repetition and intrusive. With all the chit chat, ads etc, most stories (which I enjoy) are only about 30 minutes. And I'm a few years behind, so not sure what's in store. Already ditched his co-host with a non-refundable friendship, so not sure where this goes. Hopefully better.

    This is my favourite podcast ever hands down. I’ve tried other true crime podcasts and can’t get into them like I got into this one. I love all their commentary. Mike and Matthew are awsome. I could go on for hours about this podcast but I won’t. Just know that if u love true crime and fun little commentary, this is the podcast for u.
