  • Love!!!

    I LOVE this podcast. I’m like the true crime with Hollywood connection, but honestly, I’d listen to Kate and Kevin read my grocery list and probably take notes. I love their voices, I love the banter, I love when they go off on tangents—and when Kevin starts laughing, I’m laughing out loud with them! It genuinely feels like hanging out with my friends. The content is a bonus, but I’d listen to them talk about literally anything. I’m obsessed with them… but like, not in a murdery way. Ha ha!

  • My favorite ritual …

    …is to listen to this podcast while I prep dinner. Kate and Kevin have an effortless back and forth that is both entertaining and informative. True crime is NOT a topic I normally pursue, but I find this podcast fascinating. The hosts take turns doing research/presenting and asking questions/giving commentary. The information is presented clearly and thoroughly and the questions are insightful and dig deep into the human psyche. I look forward to their new releases every week and also joined Pat... more
