  • An old fave, but no longer.

    I used to really love this one, but I feel like the jokes have started to cross the line into disrespectful territory as of late. I wasn’t sure whether or not to say anything because I know my opinion won’t change things and I will in fact probably be made fun of on air for sharing it. However, when I came to the show page I saw that one of the poor mothers of a victim had posted a review sharing her hurt feelings after listening to the episode on her daughter’s case. I always wonder how the fam... more

    I just listened to your podcast of my daughter’s murder. Your jokes and laughter were extremely distasteful and inappropriate. Just sad that you found thing laughable. Imagine living my life. I heard you say you have a daughter. Imagine for a second walking in my shoes and then someone tells your story that has never interviewed you. You failed to fact check many things reported. Most importantly Desiree’s birthday is this Thursday August 13th. Not October. You never know when the mother of a... more

  • Keep it up!

    Update 8/2026: I had stopped listening in 4/2025 but for some reason today, I had a longing to listen to them again so I'm going to give it another try. They were initially five stars when they started, but started slipping by that April. Where they went down to three stars. I'm hoping that I was just in a mood and we can bring them back up again.

    Original review from the day they first published: Great start for this new pod. Normally I do not like when they are more than two hosts because the... more
