  • Great podcast.

    I’m not sure how I missed this podcast for so long, but now I’m hooked. I love the hosts and their approach. I appreciate their comedic take on some of the situations and I also appreciate that the victims are never part of the humor. The length of the episodes is awesome. Excellent podcast, I am glad I found it. Broke up with my boyfriend. So now I fall asleep listening to this podcast.

  • Can’t wait to see you 10/17!!!!

    Best show. Hilarious. All the details. I have listened to you almost every week (let’s be real, daily) since I started in 2021. I listen to other true crime but not as religiously as this one. Thank you for keeping politics out of it. I have stopped listening to many others because of it. They go beyond your typical case details and bring it all out!
