  • Atheist

    I just don’t understand how Amye finds co-hosts that are Atheists and why they have to mention it all the time. I enjoy this podcast but I do not understand having to talk about their religion.

  • Parenting Commentary

    Ouch! Was totally on board, until I listened to the OJ Doc episode. Opinions of producers/directors and their family members, who are in the public eye, completely fine. Commenting on how they were parented when one succumbed to cancer when they were teenagers, not great.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

INTERVIEW: Kara Robinson Chamberlain of The Serial Killer Connection and Somebody Knows Something
Q: Do you have any advice for victims that may help law enforcement with their cases?
Chamberlain advised survivors not to make healing dependent on prosecution, to understand the practical limits of law enforcement, and to seek supportive communities or therapy.
INTERVIEW: Kara Robinson Chamberlain of The Serial Killer Connection and Somebody Knows Something
Q: What do you think prepared you to pay attention to your surroundings when you were abducted at 15, and how did you know that skill could save your life?
Chamberlain said it was not special preparation or training, but her survival response: dissociation combined with fight, flight, and freeze in a way that fit the circumstances.
Should I Marry a Murderer? (Netflix, 2026) with Mary Payne from Pink Shade
Q: What did you think of the documentary's approach and the storytelling choices in Should I Marry a Murderer?
We both noted that the documentary was engaging but could benefit from tighter editing and clearer pacing, with particular attention to showing rather than telling in some sequences and a more explicit delineation of timelines.
Unsolved Mysteries V1:EP1 Mystery on the Rooftop (Netflix, 2020)
Q: What did you feel going into it before you did further research?
My initial thought is that Rey got in over his head. I think a lot of what his wife thought was something happened that he didn't mean to be a part of, and then something bad happened.
My Father, The BTK Killer (Netflix, 2025)
Q: What did you think of the documentary overall?
I found it underwhelming, with certain points glossed over that could have been explored more deeply.
