  • 5 stars isn’t enough

    Only one qualm… I’ve already binged all the episodes so now I have to wait weekly for new episodes. I will forever recommend this podcast to anyone! It’s great fun and Dani amazes me with her creativity. Dani and Bill are a very entertaining duo and I also highly recommend Solve This Murder and their Patreon content.

  • Fantastic, brilliant, and such a fun show

    I found this show through Lateral and can’t stop listening. Dani’s rooms are incredibly creative and Bill does an excellent job managing the pace and making me laugh. I really enjoy listening to guest hosts because it’s fun to see how Dani and Bill bounce off each other while problem solving.
