  • Thank you for your courage!

    I’m so proud and happy to see two of my favorite podcasters for years using their voices and speak out for those who can’t speak out anymore, putting themselves on the right side of history. Thank you for your courage and bravery to use your platform that way! Melt ICE!

    Thank you for using your platform to speak out. No worries about the lost subscribers - they were lost at the ballot box too. You will never fix the poorly educated.

  • Thank you 💕💕

    Criticizing ICE for murdering people in broad daylight is perhaps the easiest thing in the world to do and yet so many people refuse to do it. Thank you for refusing to live in a vacuum. So so encouraging to hear that the Sinisterhood team actually values human rights in real time.

  • Politics

    I was a longtime listener and I don’t enjoy writing negative reviews, but the podcast has shifted into strong political advocacy rather than true crime, and that change has been for the worse. It’s no longer the show I fell in love with.
