  • Great crime stories but way too much unrelated talking

    I am so disappointed because this would be my favorite true crime podcast of all time if they stopped talking so much between story details.

    Positives:

    1. They appear to really enjoy one another

    2. They have pleasant voices that are easy to listen to

    3. Great stories, most of which are solved (which I love)

    4. Content offered that many podcasts don’t offer

    5. I love the opening crime story summary that each episode begins with

    6. It’s great how they post photos on IG for each episode

    I had high hopes for this podcast due to all the reviews. I just can’t get past all the jokes and laughs. SMH I wish they wouldn’t make so many sarcastic jokes when speaking about real people that went through something tragic.

  • Our favorite podcast

    My husband and I love listening to Grimm on road trips- you guys are so funny but always respectful and very focused on the voices of victims. If I could suggest another case it would be that of Elizabeth Smart- and her book “My Story.” Very interesting for sure. Keep up the good work!
