  • Love the pod, love the girls

    I love this podcast, even when I disagree on a few things. Mostly that the predators should be ended, not spend time in jail. But I digress. I have listed to y’all a couple times through and finally got my daughter into podcasts as well and she loves you too! It’s fun to have someone to talk to about all the craziness. And now our favorite thing to say to each other is: ARE YOU OUTSIDE OF YOUR **DAMN** **MIND** ???

  • The ONLY true crime podcast worth listening to!

    PATW is the first podcast I've ever listened to. A friend recommended it after I watched Maternal Instinct on Netflix. PATW's story was so much better! I've been hooked ever since, and I'm about to start from episode one again because I find others unlistenable. Rebecca and Rachel feel like old friends after spending a month straight listening to show after show 🤟🏼
