Rotten but still a little sweet! Rotten Mango is a true crime + all things spooky podcast. We love doing deep dives into the darkest crimes and we tend to not leave out any details - which can get a little rotten at times. If you want deep dives in the psychology of killers, no holding back storytelling of crimes, and stories of lesser known criminals from around the world this is the place for yo... more

  • Love love love!

    I tend to skip other podcasts when it’s a case I’ve already heard but not with Stephanie. She is so unique in the way she starts her pods, that I can listen to cases I’ve already heard because of how she tells it. Easily one of my favorites. Thank you Rotten Mango and Stephanie Soo 🫶🏽

  • love rm!! few things tho

    rm thankfully isn’t as insensitive as some other true crime podcasts, but i will say that constantly mentioning online opinions when there’s little to no relevance gets kind of annoying after a while. also, why do they split the full length youtube audios into multiple episodes for apple podcasts? i started noticing it with the mackenzie shirilla case, where on youtube there’s only 2-3 parts, but there’s basically double that on apple. i also feel like the titles of episodes should be more clear... more

  • I think we can all agree

    Hi Stephanie, there is a lot of online opinion pieces that are mean/super biased and now it feels like quantity over quality. I unsubscribed.

  • As refreshing as a can of CANADA DRY

    One of the best true crime podcasts ever made. I love the narrator’s style of storytelling, and her husband who makes comments and asks questions is great, too. I love his vibe. Love them both. The podcast is always entertaining and informative, and never misses any details. I’ll keep tuning in forever. When Stephanie Soo mentioned Canada Dry, it sent me! WOOO!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Winston Lee ID’d as Former South Korean Prime Minister’s Grandson: Cornell 7 Case
Q: What evidence and issues are central to the debate about Cornell's handling of the allegations?
The discussion focuses on Snapchat messages, fraternity communications, a reported ketamine incident at the house shortly before the party, and Cornell's decision not to suspend the fraternity at that time. Cornell later retained King & Spalding to investigate its handling of Jane Doe's allegations, with Sally Yates leading the investigation.
Winston Lee ID’d as Former South Korean Prime Minister’s Grandson: Cornell 7 Case
Q: How did Jane Doe's account and understanding of the encounter change in the days after the party?
The episode recounts that she initially described the night in less serious terms and sent friendly messages, then later said much of the encounter was not consensual, sought a rape kit, and asked the accused for details. The hosts present competing interpretations of that shift, including delayed recognition of trauma and disputes over consent and regret.

The host says investigators focused on Caleb quickly, searched the home and surrounding area, reviewed nearby camera footage, and found no evidence of an intruder.
