  • Late, but right on time

    As someone who can find humor in every situation, I LOVE this podcast. I’m binging past episodes (still in 2024), but the stories and humor is perfect for my look on life. While being respectful to the victims in the stories, the off-the-cuff hilarious comments truly make me laugh at loud. You’re bringing stories that I’ve never heard and I’m enjoying each one. Kudos to keeping the memory of these victims alive and sharing the horrific end of life tragedies with listeners.

    Life is short, find ... more

  • From “I’ll Try One Episode” to “I Live Here Now”

    Hi Kim, Adam, and Jerry,

    I had to pop in and confess my undying love for your show. I stumbled across it completely by accident thanks to Apple Podcasts, and I’ve been binge‑listening like a woman possessed ever since. The three of you together are basically the holy trinity of true crime podcasting — equal parts chaos, charm, and “should I be laughing at this?” energy. Easily one of the best parts of my week.

    Kim, your research is flawless, and your location intros could genuinely convince me... more

  • Your Response To 1-Star Review

    First, I love your podcast and love all of you. I love Kim’s voice as it is smooth as butta 🤗What I also really love is your response to the 1-star ratings. I was listening to the Last Night in Costa Rica episode and was laughing so hard at your response to a 1-star rating (something to do with pick-me vibes) that I was crying by the time the story started😂It’s the best way to respond to these mean reviewers. I think they are trying to hurt you but instead you laugh hard and contemplate turnin... more

  • A True OG Listener

    I have no interest in true crime whatsoever, but I LOVE this show. I love to cook while listening to this show because it makes me feel like I’m hanging with my friends in the kitchen.

    As it is always said, who doesn’t want more Kim? Yes, please!

    And Jerry, tolerable? Try LOVEABLE. I’d like to hear more about his best friend, Barry, though. I heard that he’s the OG corrector of Kim’s hysterical mispronunciations, going back to the very first show. Rumor has it that he’d even asked Jerry to ca... more

  • Long time listener…1st time reviewer

    I look forward to listening to you three every week. Been following true crime stories for years and you quickly landed at the top for me almost since day one. Maybe because it feels like I’m hanging out with old friends. Laughing out loud and often talking back to defend you all against the haters. Keep doing you, Kim, Tex and Jerry. Much love from Western Pa!
