  • OC Barbie and Ken

    Not only are Emily and Shane the most genuine couple on reality TV, but they are also brilliant lawyers who dive into their podcast and offer their audience a fresh prospective on new and old murder cases of spouses gone mad. I love their banter. Very entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable.

  • Love this show!

    Absolutely love, Emily and Shane together. Emily does a great job breaking everything down. Shame offers a lot of great insight in between his dark humor, which is much needed and very, very funny.

    And Emily handles him beautifully

    The show is so good. The only suggestion I would have is get some more unknown cases there’s hundreds of them across the country because you guys are good enough to do those cases.

  • She’s so mean to Shane

    Shane is a gem. Emily is so condescending and snappy with him. Shes very lucky to have him. He’s a catch! Also, I only listen when this show is the Two Ts podcast bc it automatically starts after I’ve listened to an episode with Teddi or Tamra
