Getting sick of Nicole’s inability to be objective. SOME of the content is based on medical facts, but most of it is just Nicole’s rigid and judgmental opinion. I personally try to move past her ignorance, but it’s hard at times. Hope she reads these reviews! I’m falling out of love of this podcast! Leave your outdated and bigoted viewpoints out of it! My god!
The mispronunciations and bad editing are so distracting. They can’t pronounce really simple stuff, like Ed Kemper, famous Co-Ed killer from CA, is said “Kempner “, over and over, the editing will repeat it self if there is a flub, instead of editing that part out. Instead of saying “David” they spell D4vd, like that’s his stage name, no it’s just said David… I could go on but I hope I made my point. The other info is good, they talk about gross or medical issues in a matter of fact way instead ... more
This is literally the only podcast I’m subscribed to. I downloaded the app just to follow them. I’ve been following Miss Angemi’s work on Instagram for years. She is very thoughtful and detailed which definitely is get through her work and content!
This podcast has become my number one and I even stopped listening to several other crime podcasts in favor of this one. I find that this podcast fulfills my true crime needs as well as my morbid curiosity and other weird interests. Listening to Nicole and Maria I feel like I’m hanging out with my friends. Thanks ladies please keep up the good work!
I’ve been following Nicole on Instagram and the Gross room for years and now this podcast keeps me company during my long drives. Keep up the good work Nicole and Maria!
