  • Best crime podcast!

    I am not usually a true crime listener but am hooked on this podcast! Emily and Shane banter like a regular couple and it feels like I’m listening to friends. I also like how they give updates on cases that they previously discussed.

  • Educated and Interesting!

    I really enjoy hearing the fun and educated banter between the husband and wife duo! Though I do love seeing them on Housewives, I may be a bigger fan now after seeing more of their relationship. Sometimes their relationship can come across as confusing to viewers, but hearing how seamlessly they debate and discuss on the podcast, their chemistry is undeniable and very charming!

  • Love the dynamic between Emily and Shane

    Sorry but talking about a recent murder is not what I thought this podcast was about. That will be pure speculation. I won’t listen to this one. A recent one about something current bothered me but I didn’t speak up. I’m referring to Anna Kepner. It was all pure speculation. Stay with the older cases where you add value.
