  • Love My Girlies

    Been an almost day oner, but I had to take a break for a year or 2 due to my mental health and being too sensitive to listen to the content during that time - NOT because of Karen or Georgia. I love these women so much, they still make me laugh out loud every episode. The reviews on here down-rating because of their opinions on Spencer Pratt/MAGA…LOL.

  • This was my go to True Crime

    I have recommended this podcast just so many people and was my all-time favorite, but I’ve been so disappointed for such a long while now and I’ve really tried to stick it out, but I think that I’m done. I want to hear about true crime and not stories about some trailblazer or some other historical figure or someone who ran some crazy race in another country and survived the desert. There are tons of podcasts that have that kind of cases, but the literal title of this podcast is my favorite murd... more

  • Amazing

    One of the best crime podcasts. The girls are down to earth, Steven is a god & the Pets are a special bonus you never knew you needed. The comedy aspect makes it more light hearted but allows you to get your crime fill. I just love their banter.

    Addendum: the amount of ads that fill the gaps is horrible. It makes it so hard to listen to and they’re the same ads on repeat. I understand the desire to monetize and advertise but it makes podcasts so unappealing and it’s unfortunate.

  • Not what it used to be :(

    Between the insane amount of ads, the conversations that turn out to just be ads and the reliance on posting live shows just to stay afloat, which is arguably the most annoying thing any podcast does, even if it's just a few I HATE live shows, the sound quality sucks, the personalities are never the same, live just sucks when it's not live. I think it's time to quit while you're still kind of ahead. 😵‍💫
