  • Who knew true crimes could be funny? I’ll tell you these guys!!

    Slacation has absolutely NO business being this funny for a podcast about mysterious vacation deaths 😂 but I LOVE IT 🥰🥰

    Adam interrupts at the EXACT same moments I’m yelling and interrupting while listening in my car so I don’t feel as crazy. Kim’s voice could narrate me straight into a tropical crime scene and somehow make it sound relaxing 😭 And Jerry the perfectly tolerable is like a human guardrail pulling Adam back on track even though he joins him on some of dark jokes 🤣 (or may make... more

  • A Monday Staple

    I had consumed true crime podcasts for years when I found this show. Great stories -delivered with levity and humor, not always appropriate laughter, and littered with mispronounced words. You all are a Monday staple and you feel like family after over a year of listening. I have stopped listening to most other true crime podcasts-they feel too dark by comparison. Cheers to you and keep laughing-life is short, as you know!
