  • Bingeworthy. Love this podcast!

    I have been hunting for a new true crime podcast and I am so glad I found this one!

    I heard Kelly for the first time as a guest on another podcast and I loved that she brought energy and life to the episode..

    I came over to Mama Mystery and started listening from the beginning. I noticed Kelly spoke of the victims with respect but also has the weird fascination with true crime that we all do. She’s thorough and complete and when she doesn’t know the answer, she says so.

    I was a few episodes... more

  • Hinting that she’s a trumper

    She recently hinted that she’s a trump supporter. I can’t in good conscience continue to support.

  • Disappointed

    Sharing a religious book while talking about the lives lost due to the flooding in Texas is insensitive. Can you imagine someone who lost their family member seeing that who doesn’t subscribe to the same religion? I don’t think you intended to hurt anyone but please consider how something like that comes across.

  • Kelly is Great

    Just FYI, June 1 is not halfway through the year, July 1 is. Austin always seems to think he knows it all though so not surprising he would put that out so confidently. Would much rather hear this podcast without his nonsense.
