  • Lol with these 3.

    I am just like everyone else sitting in my car alone laughing like my meds wore off. Or maybe what I just drank kicked in. Hard to tell but I’m laughing and in today’s world that is worth a fortune. I absolutely love your blooper reels. I really love the cold open with them. I’m laughing 10 seconds in! Keep the stories coming and I’ll be there!

  • 5 starts to get you to 4.5 ⭐️

    What a freaking great show! I absolutely love listening to you guys every week. The banter, the laughter, and the storytelling are completely captivating. I really appreciate the investigation you do to bring light to stories that aren’t always the most popular in the true-crime world, and the way you always speak about the victims with so much grace, without casting a dark cloud over the show.

    Thank you for constantly reminding everyone that we can explore the world and learn so much from it, ... more

  • LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

    I have been listening to true crime podcasts for about 10 years and yours is one of my top 3 favorites that I have to listen to each week. Y’all play off of each other so well and make me laugh out loud at least 1 or 10 times every episode! While the topic may not be laughable, the way y’all tell it keeps it light. Love it! Keep ‘em coming! Oh and I still say Ton “gear” a wa on a daily basis…. Thank you!

  • The Triple H’s

    I’ve been meaning to write this review for ages, and every time you read reviews on the podcast I feel personally guilty — so here it finally is.

    Salaycation is hands down one of my favourite podcasts and it’s easy to see why. Kim, Adam and the ‘tolerable one’ are the perfect mix of humour, humanity, and horror. You manage to be funny without undermining the seriousness of the cases, empathetic without being preachy, and genuinely unsettling when it needs to be.

  • Still laughing at Hitler and HIV

    I don’t even know how to start this review other than to say I’m still laughing about the Hitler and HIV snake episode! You guys were cracking up and laughing so hard it was killing me and I was just tryin to drive to work! I’ve never laughed so hard and that was hands down the best moment of any podcast. Also, all of the “messed up and inappropriately timed” stuff Adam says I was 100% thinking and any of you out there saying you didn’t are lying 🤪 So thank you Adam, keep being real! Seriously ... more
