I saw Bad Taste at Elgin Fringe. I really enjoyed the show. So I started listening. I love their show and the hosts. Great way to make a commute into work feel exciting.
Who doesn’t want to listen to True Crime? Those are people I’m not sure I want to know.
Please educate yourself on this case by reading The Guardian article about it.
Also, Janelle’s ‘punk rock’ schtick has gotten really old. We get it already, and no one’s impressed. You also frequently sound smug and condescending, despite consistently getting facts and pronunciations wrong.
Thank you both for amazing stories and insight! I started listening maybe a month or so ago and just finished everything, now that I’m caught up I don’t know what to do… this is why I can’t have nice things.
I can’t wait for more🖤
Love you Vicky!
I love this show so much!!!!!

Recent episodes balance historical cases (from World War II Paris to Philadelphia in the 1930s), high-profile modern crimes, and offbeat stories, all while weaving in cultural context, humor, and personal anecdotes. The show often pairs meticulous research with banter, making complex investigations feel approachable and entertaining for listeners who enjoy thoughtful analysis, pop culture tangents, and regional flavor. Noteworthy strengths include a knack for translating historical crime into engaging narratives, plus a willingness to address heavier topics with levity in a way that many listeners find refreshing.
