  • Love it!

    Found you guys through the LPotL Side Stories episode when you were at Crime Wave at Sea with Henry and Eddie. I nearly peed my pants laughing a couple of times and knew a binge of your podcast was in my future. Well, I’m loving it so far. You gals are hilarious, but also well researched and treat subjects with the seriousness they deserve when called for! I fear it’s only a matter of time before I develop a true hyperfixation and my wallet takes a hit in your merch store. 😂😅

  • Love it but…

    I love the show. The hosts are funny and informed but holy cow the side commentary. I’m constantly having to skip through episodes to get past the rambling. It’s very distracting. Maybe cut down on the side conversations?

  • Leave politics out of it

    I think I have maybe listened to one episode of this podcast in the past several months… I’m not into the Cryptid and paranormal episodes but beyond that I just can’t take the woke political takes tossed in these podcasts anymore.
