  • Not enough positive things to say

    Absolutely love this podcast! I was looking for a new one to get into and the name of the first episode caught my attention. 2 seasons in and the macabre ladies have held that attention and have taught me more than a few random trivia tidbits.

  • Cool concept but

    The concept is really cool when they stay focused but they’re not often. But just like the show morbid too many random opinions injected into the show and also a little bit of talking bad about men which doesn’t resonate with your male audience. It’s more prevalent then it should be so let’s be fair to all genders
