  • Loving MM&M, the banter & stories are fab!

    Marti and Effie are like a more familiar Karen & Georgia from MFM (IYKYK). Their research is spot on, being Scottish I love that their stories are so local and interesting (& the Aussie ones are ace too!)

    Their banter is hilarious, this is a fab wee listen! We need more of these two in our ears!!

  • Elizabeth Francis

    Terrible podcast, too much about themselves and their music choices they showed very little compassion for a young woman who was murdered. I feel for the family of Elizabeth if they listened to these insensitive women disrespectfully dribble on about utter rubbish using their daughters death to get listeners.👎

  • One of my top favourite true crime podcasts. Marty and Effie are so relatable and there's just the right amount of chit-chat (which often has me giggling away to myself on my commute). They tend to alternate between Australian and Scottish cases with some going as far back as the 16th century. The historical ones are my favourites in fact and I also highly recommend the Loch Ness Monster episode which was so interesting and yet also hilarious. The perfect podcast if you're a true crime fan.
